Why don't we make it illegal to talk while you are driving period? It sure would be a lot easier on the ears for a lot of married dudes, hahaha. Hell, I put on over 3 million miles in my life driving and talking on the CB and never had any close calls due to chatting on the radio, and all of that while checking out the "seat covers" as they went by. I still have a CB but I seldom talk on it anymore. I carry it when we travel so I can keep track of traffic backups etc. Hell, I don't even speed anymore so I don't even need bear reports, haha.

I needed to use the mens room at Price Chopper one day. A guy was using the urinal and talking on his cell phone at the same time. I wonder if ya can have sex and talk on the cell at the same time.
Oh, about the lady throwing her baby across the room. Just thought it funny. A foot ball.

I was in the mens room at the VA one day and there was a guy on the cell phone in one of the stalls. Good thing it was not a "smell phone" haha. Probably could get away with talking on the cell phone during sex if you have blue tooth. Texting might be a little harder.

I don't know BZ. I didn't stick around to see. Men aren't like women. We don't go hand in hand to the john and when we are in there we don't think it is a social gathering, so we don't chit chat. I really don't care if they crap and then bite their nails as long as they don't try to shake hands with me afterwards. I would assume that most men at a VA hospital have had adequate hygiene training seeing as how they have been in the military.
I once was in the mens room at a bus terminal in Florida. The sinks were so damn filthy that I DID skip the handwashing. A marine said " hey sailor, don't they teach you in the navy to wash your hands after you pee?" I told him "in the navy they teach us not to pee on our hands to begin with jarhead".

Funny you guys bring this up because this just happened to me for the first time Friday. While in Wegmans I had to make a pit stop and there was a line. Probably cause the person that came out was a huge lady talking on her cell phone. My first thought was yuk how disgusting and wondering if the person she was talking to knew where they had just been. I got skived out just going in after her. Yes she was headed for the sink...thank God. ands she wasn't missing a beat with the phone either.

Actually caught a meat cutter at Krogers attempting to leave the mens room without washing his hands. I simply said "excuse me, but don't ya think ya ought rinse those hands after handling the old sausage and before ya package the porkchops?" He said "I wash them in the meat department". I told him that I would feel much better about buying meat there if he were to wash them right there just to give me peace of mind. I also told the store manager on my way out of the store. THAT is how e-coli and other nasties are spread. The heck with cell phones. I don't borrow anyone's phone anyhow, but I DO purchase and eat foods in the store and in restaurants. Gives one the willies doesn't it?
I am sure that Stoney's husband can tell you that the meat room is a place where cross contamination must be watched out for as a regular routine, and sanitation is the key to preventing food borne disease. Add to that a pair of dirty, crotch contaminated hands and it would make one want to be a vegetarian, haha.

He should be wearing gloves while handling the meat, though.

No law here requiring gloves for food handlers Stoney. Maybe they should just wear glove to handle the old sausage and take them off when they package the porkchops, LOL. Put a box of gloves in a dispenser over the urinals. The fact that they don't wear gloves while making a sub or pizza, or cutting meat kind of grossed me out when I first moved here, but we had to get used to it. Just have to pray that most wash often. Not too long ago Kathy and I were out to eat and we were having our food served from a tray that was set on a tray stand while the girl served us. She set the tray down, and sneezed across and on the whole tray without covering her mouth. I am sure she didn't do it on purpose, but being flu season, and her being all stuffed up and sickly looking, I sent the food back. The manager came out and asked us what was wrong and when I told him, he was pissed off. I paid for our beverage and we left. Had the manager not been such a dickhead I would go back, but seeing as how he was a jerk we won't go back. The poor girl was bent right over the tray with her hands on the sides of the tray when the sneeze snuck up on her, and she sprayed the whole damn thing, and I damn sure lost my appetite thinking about what was sprayed on our food. Have we wandered a ways from the subject of cell phone usage yet??? ;D

Cell phone etiquette- I never answer a phone in the bathroom ever, some places deserve a bit of solitude, the Terlet is one of them. I don't expect others to answer either even if its me who's calling! I hate when someone tells me they cant talk right now, they are pissing or other, why did you answer in the first place, call me after your done. Note to self, don't ask to use so in so's phone anymore...

I rented a flat once on Leeds St in E. Utica that had a wall phone plate on the wall next to the toilet. Needless to say, that was one extension we lived without while WE lived there. Thank goodness that progress has brought cordless handsets that negate the necessity for that sort of equipment in the poopy place.
I would certainly not be comfortable with the idea of talking to someone on the telephone while taking a dump. "Uhhh. can you hold a minute while I wipe my butt?" I don't think I could handle that sort of mulitasking.

You should try riding when one of my wife's sisters is driving. They are both deaf and communicate using ASL. I've seen her younger sister turn aroubnd to sign to someone in the back seat while driving.

Clipper ...one of my very first trips to Vegas we stayed at the Desert Inn which had a phone in the bathroom, right next to the roll of toilet paper. Back then I thought that was so cool....not so much anymore.
