Answering the Call

I was in the restroom at office, when I heard a cellphone ring. I started to wonder who this bloke was who carried his cellphone into a stall inside the loo. I did not have to wonder much, as he answered the phone call and I immediately recognized him by his voice.

How can someone talk on the phone while taking care of their "business" ? Answering both the nature and telephone call at the same time is so wierd. Imagine the reaction of the person on the other end of the line if he/she realises it! Yuck! If it were me at the other end, I would be completely grossed out and would disconnect the call immediately.

Now, don't tell me that there aren't any chances of the person on the other end of the line realizing it. If a cellphone can transmit voices, it can very well transmit other sounds too, duh! Thank God, that a cell phone cannot transmit smells!

God! I can't believe these people. I've read about so many people who've lost business deals 'coz they answered phones when in the loo.

I wonder when they will learn.

I'd never want to be on the other side of the phone when someone's in the loo..

I guess it serves them right!

@that girl in pink:
Haa Haa. I can imagine the scenario and the look on the caller's face when the recipient answers a video phone in the loo.

@dannyboy:
Yikes! Now I will have to think twice if by any chance I have to borrow a cellphone from one such bloke.

Smell is something that seems to be totally neglected by Engineers/Researchers. Cellphone must transmit even smells. Only then such ppl will learn:-))!!!

@pixie:
Err.. even girls do so ?? I thought it was just the guys.

@sudhi:
Dude... I don't understand!!
If cellphones did transmit smells, how will a person who has received a call in the loo learn a lesson ? For all I know, he does not care.
