    Ok so I feel compelled to chime in here, now that it is getting really gritty!

    When I was in college, I had a job at a call center, for a cell phone company no less. I worked in tech support.

    Moaning? Heard it. Chewing in my ear? Constantly. Arguing and fighting? Every day.

    It amazed me what people did on the phone and even more so, what they expected you to put up with. No dude, I will not sit and try to explain what you need to do to fix this problem while you are inhaling a bag of potato chips!

    Nowadays as has been pointed out, you have people using cell phones in bath rooms. While some of us have jobs that require that kind of behavior, my job clearly is not one of them. Yet there you are, in a little moment of privacy in the stall at the far end.....when suddenly you hear Bambi from accounting talk about her romp with Joey from Sales this past weekend....oh yes, she's 2 stalls down didn't you know?!

    Sorry but I find it all incredibly creepy and very invasive. I like those European style water closets infinitely more!

    K, ladies one more related to the whole bathroom and phone issues, which I think is disgusting that people talk on the phone in the bathroom. Anyway.

    One more pet peeve-people who walk into the bathroom, lean down to see the feet in the stall to look for me to ask me some stupid question. Geez can't I have 5 minutes of peace! BTW My standard reply is "Is someone dying? If not, please go away!"

    Anyway

    You should hide a pair of slip on shoes in your desk and only wear them in the bathroom...
