Dear Coworker:

I'm an easygoing guy. I know sometimes you have to answer your cell phone in the men's restroom. Not just standing at a urinal, either, but in the stall. Sometimes you're expecting a call that you just can't miss, and you have to take it wherever it comes in. I'm cool with that. I understand.

And I know these days, the speakerphones on cell phones come in really handy. They sound much better than they used to, and the microphones really help your caller understand what's going on.

But here's the thing: please don't combine the two.

Please don't answer your cell phone from inside the restroom stall, and put it on speaker.

Because when I'm done, I'm going to flush, and the sound of the flush may not completely mask my merciless laughter at your predicament.

Thanks for your understanding.
