in the womens washroom and coworker chatting on her phone in the stall next to me.
I swear this happens once a week and I make sure to flush before she ends it each time.

Does the person she is speaking with know where she is?
Loud grunting and farting noises intensify
This is the one time you should be "loud and proud" about doing your business.
"That's right, buddy! Show that turd who's boss!"
Who does number 2 work for?
I’m a guy and I’ve experienced the same thing. I don’t get it at all. Aren’t you at all embarrassed to be conversing on the phone while dropping bombs?! And no one else sitting in a stall wants to hear your conversation! Just scroll Lemmy and leave us alone!
And wash your hands you disgusting, filthy boomers. Jfc.
And no, that quick 2-second splash of water does NOT count!
Thankfully I don’t see too much of that. I actually find a general lack of consideration. People talking on speakerphone, on a quiet bus commuting home from the city. No one wants to hear your conversation. I don’t get the mentality.
I don't get it either. I always try to stay invisible, out of the way, and polite. I think there's people that just have to be at the center of the universe, whether that universe is the restroom, subway car, CHURCH....
I don't do it at work, but I'll talk on the phone while growing tail at home.
WTF, that is super weird and kinda rude. She needs to learn how to text like the rest of us.
When I was in college, one time a girl came in the bathroom, blabbing on the phone, and just… talked the whole time she was peeing. Like it was perfectly normal
At one point we had a remote office in a bank. One of my coworkers, W, had a pretty severe intestinal condition.
Anyway, I'm using the facilities, and one of the bankers comes in and heads to a stall. His phone rings while he's in there, which he answers. It's obviously a work call.
By this time, I'm heading over to wash my hands, just as W slams open the door with an panicked look. He violently shoulders open a stall, drops trousers, and unleashes just an absolutely unholy flume of waste, accompanied by a couple of mercy flushes.
"Uh, I'll call you back".
I'm assuming lessons were learned that day.
Wtf just do your calls in the stairway awkwardly smiling at passing coworkers like the rest of us
When this happens, I make as much noise as possible to make it obvious to whoever they're speaking with that the person is talking to them in a bathroom.
Imagine doing that while someone's having coffee shits a stall over. Imagine being on the other side of the line. Maybe you should drink more coffee and the problem will solve itself.
You totally need to make really loud hnnnnnng....splosh noises.
I don't really get why this is frustrating. Is it the risk of other people hearing you go toilet?
It's where people are taking shits. Nobody wants their shits to be transmitted via coworker-phone-call.
Bad etiquette
It's inherently unpleasant for everyone involved, except the oblivious. The restroom is just not an appropriate location for a phone call, you should be avoiding conversation and focusing on the task at hand.
