Mobile phone use - a new low?

[Pale Rider]

I witnessed what I believe to be a new low in the use of mobile phones,

It was in the toilet of a motorway service area.

Stood at the next urinal was a man (phew) talking on his mobile phone.

So there he is, todger in one hand, mobile in the other, talking to 'Laura' to fix what sounded like a business meeting.

I wonder if Laura knew where he was, and if so, what she would make of it.

Mobiles have invaded nearly every public space, now that toilets have been added to the list there is now almost nowhere with no risk of somebody rocking up next to you talking on the phone.

The way that some people shout into the phones they want the whole world to know their business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not new. I got my first mobile phone in 1996, part of the process of finding a new job. I went to the toilet during my leaving party, and of course admired all it's amazing features: it had caller id! it has a built in address book! you can play snake on it! (but not wumpus )

Of course, I did not make a call on it. Nor send send a text, but only because that wasn't around for another year in Australia.

In the next cubicle? A woman having an angry phone call "Well, if Barry thinks that then he can start looking for a new place to work!"

I tried to flush as loudly as I could, after deciding shouting "she's on the toilet!" was uncouth.

You both must lead sheltered lives.

The way some people shout they don't even NEED a mobile phone at all.
Remember the Dom Joly sketches.

Good example of Executive Multitasking if you ask me .....

I didn't have a mobile phone till I was 37, had a pager and car phone before, the former seem funny now. The phone will go the day I retire.

A scooter nearly crashed into the back of my car last week, I noticed the rider was texting, manically, he carried on doing so, nearly crashing several more times, for over a mile.

You should consider, particularly if you are standing next to the person, that they are not actually talking to anybody, they are taking photos or videoing.

Whereas I, on the other hand, love mobile phones and wouldn't be without mine. I rarely use it (as a phone) but it has served a purpose.

In fact, mobile phones are one of those technological developments that have me sitting back in amazement, pondering just how sodding clever we humans can be on occasions.

My mum tells me that I'm better behaved than my brother on the phone. I pass her over to the kids if I want a comfort break. He just goes and she can hear him whichever act he is performing whilst still talking to her.

a friend of mine tried to multitask once... texting and spending a penny... he dropped his phone, down the pan and couldn't help but urinate on it.
Men and multitasking do not mix!
