DON'T Speak From thy Throne
Cell phones, like sandwiches, rarely belong in the bathroom. But, maybe you didn't get the memo.

We're not sure what's more offensive: sitting in the stall adjacent to you, or being on the other end of the phone and hearing you flush. The toilet is a temple; treat it with respect.
