It's utterly disgusting, I can't imagine it's pleasant for the person on the other end of the conversation and it's certainly annoying for anyone who happens to be in the cubicle next to you. [I wish I could say this was a one off, but there seem to be multiple offenders in our building]

That's when he's working from home, can't speak for what happens when he's in the office!]
Surrey Phil Mar 2017 1:08pm, 7 Mar 2017 1,876 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I sometimes went to the loo when my mum rang for a chat. I must point out that this was solely for a joke and would not do it otherwise! I have an issue with people being too obsessed with their mobiles anyway, so it grinds my gears enough when used in a public place, car or the loo.

Except on deserted streets - then I have been known to wander into a lamp-post.]
