People using phones in the toilet!
I can only assume that this is a particularly male one. After all, girls don't go to the loo - we know this.

The number of times I've seen (or heard - if I'm in a cubicle), people answering their mobile in the gents at work astounds me. Is the call that important that the person needs to hear your own or other people's splashing, farting or worse? Couldn't it have waited another 2 minutes for you to call them back?

Even worse is when someone is already on the phone and then gaily wanders into the loo mid-flow, only to continue the conversation while getting another flow going. Eww.

Prime example - I work for a consultancy, and the leader on the project had just taken a call on his phone. He passes the phone onto the Partner on the job, who continues the conversation while wandering off into the loo, before handing the phone back to it's owner. Ick.

I mean, at least if you're on a conference call you can go on mute, but not when you're having an active conversation...
