If someone calls for a co-worker while they are in the bathroom, do not yell the caller's question into the bathroom.
Nothing. Is. That. Important.
Put the caller on hold.
For the love of God.
Like I said, this might save your life someday.

I agree, but I feel it's also important to tell the caller that so and so is "in the library" or "on the throne."
Of course, I hold back that information from so and so when I relay the message.
I find that this type of thing really combats my stress level.

Posted by: Jennifer at June 1, 2004 01:32 PMYou have conversations while using bathroom in clubs on Saturday night??? I don't know about that Jen...

Posted by: Wind Rider at June 1, 2004 03:27 PMMy usual response is "She'll be with you in a moment".
But some idiot pressed it way too hard one day and I actally said:
"She'd just like to clear her asshole first before she deals to another one..."
I'd give real money to show you his face...
