Now, I’m sure you think that discussions on etiquette and mobile phones are passé. However, recent exposure to a rather unsettling use of a mobile phone prompted, nay forced, me into a post. This afternoon as I pondered the meaning of life, the chap in the cubicle next to me, who was being rather noisy in vacating his ruminations, answered his mobile phone. This was bad to start with I thought at first, but then decided he might be telling someone he was indisposed to a chit-chat. Oh no, a lengthy conversation ensued, punctuated by further noisy ruminations. Here’s a suggestion to anyone who might be thinking of using the phone on the throne; don’t.
To those of you who are involuntary crapper conference call parties, do what I did.
Flush, flush, flush.
