What would you do if someone calls you while...

As I went to the comfort room in this building a while ago to brush my teeth. I heard a cell phone ring from inside a cubicle. The person inside was doing his business when all of a sudden he received a call. He answered it and I could feel his uneasiness in answering the call finally he blurted out that he's in the toilet doing something. If you were that person what would you do? would you answer the call?

Hehehe! I just don't know if others are getting the meat of the situation but it's really funny! and I do believe we get into situations like this once or twice in our lifetime. I would answer the phone if I was bringing it with me but i need to be honest to the caller what sort of situation he caught me off. But if the phone is somewhere else, I might just leave it there without answering it. Happy posting!

I was actually trying to hold off my laughter after I got out from the CR, when this happened. Yes I think that being honest to your caller would do good. Thanks for responding!

It really depends on who the caller is and if it is in a public bathroom or the comfort of my home. If it is public, definitely, I won't answer it. But if it is on the privacy of my home, I look at the caller ID and assess if it can wait for my return call. If it is my husband, I answer it because he will be worried if nobody answers the landline or my cell. I will just say, Hon...am in the bathroom and will call you back.

That is something annoying, when someone calls you while in the restroom and doing some very important matters. I been to a lot of times in that situation. I will not answer the call for that will just cut my concentration. When I finished with what I was doing, I just message the caller so he or she can make another call.

There's a time & place for everything... I wouldn't answer my cell. phone if I'm in the bathroom, weather I'm at work, public building like a mall, or in my own home... I just don't feel comfortable answering a phone while I'm doing my business in the bathroom...

I won't answer it... I would finish whatever I am doing or I can ask my mom to answer the call for me to know how important it is. And after finishing my enduring task inside the toilet. I will call that person back to know what he/she needs from me.

If it is really important it is really better to have someone relay the message for you. Thanks for responding

Why not? When a person opted to call than sending a text message, it means he needs an answer right away and that call is important. So if we don't want to be disturbed in our concentration, we should not bring along a cellphone inside the toilet, right? If I were in the shoe of that man, I would gladly answer the call and who knows it may be a good news that I won in lotto even if i don't bet.
