42% of Americans Use Their Cell Phones in the Bathroom
For those of you who believe kids today lack any semblance of public decorum, we've got some recent statistics that just might back up your nostalgic grumblings. iGR, a market consultant firm, recently polled 1,000 mobile phone users, ages 18 to 65, and discovered that 42-percent of them claim to make calls and send text messages while in the bathroom. The age group most likely to be a public nuisance? Surprise, it's 18-to-24-year-olds.
Youngsters lead the way in all statistics in the poll, including talking or texting in restaurants, and 18-to-24-year-old women are slightly more prone to public chattering than their male counterparts.
If you old fogies despise this behavior, or if you carefree whippersnappers condone it, check out these street interviews and let us know what you think. Until then, if you leave your phone at home on a night out, be very careful whose you choose to borrow. [From: iGR, Via: VPO]

Yes. I do.

I use the phone in the bathroom all the time. Sometimes it's the only way to get ANY privacy. I work for a Fire Dept, so the guys usually eavesdrop anyway just so they can dig up dirt to bust your chops with. Now, I don't talk when doing anything loud and I certainly say "hold on a sec" and throw the phone on mute when I need to flush. But otherwise, it's all fair game.

Americans think they are so important they have to use their stupid cell phones in the bathrooms. Then these same morons forget to wash their hands ands continue to spread germs.

This doesn't necessarily mean they're using their cell phones while going to the bathroom, they're just IN the bathroom. I use my cell in the restroom when I need some privacy, or need to get away from noise, but I've never called anyone while sitting on the toilet. That's just disgusting, not to mention awkward for whoever is on the other end.

Haha...hawt.
My friend calls me when she is using the restroom, but only when she is home alone. She is freaked out when she is alone, so she needs someone to talk to. There is nothing wrong with it.
