If the Pres can have a 12 trillion dollar credit account I can certainly use my phone on the crapper.
I can also smoke a joint.
I take my laptop in there too.

Yeah, right.
Wasn't there some TV reporterette a few years back that was on the throne with a cell phone, oh, and an open mic, while denigrating her in-laws just before Thanksgiving?

I was at a City Council Meeting earlier this year where they wear wireless mics. The Mayor called a recess for a nature call and forget to mute his mic. The rest of the story is TMI.

I just wouldn't want to...I'm not a phone guy. A lot of people have these little old phones that can call and text and watch movies and listen to music and do their taxes...I don't understand the allur of having so much easy distraction forever at your fingertips. Gimme a decent book. Whats more, I have a toilet book collection, and once a book is relegated to that role it doesn't leave the bathroom.
Technology just doesn't do it for me.

The first time I heard of a phone in the bathroom was during the Watergate era. The wife of somebody involved would make calls to the Washington Post et al, from the bathroom.
Now that it's ubiquitous, it's no longer the status symbol it may have once been before the non-land lines became so prolific.

My girlfriend has threathened my life if I ever call her while on the toilet. So I have to be VERY CAREFUL.

I remember years ago going in the men’s room in the morning to do my number 1 business and noticed the farthest stall was occupied. No one else was in there...
So as I stood doing my thing, I here the dude in the stall loudly say, “Hey, how’s it going, man?”
Well, I thought about that, and realized it was the voice of the new instructor we had just hired and who I had met that morning. We had made some small talk on a particular subject or two relating to the training labs so I replied,
“I’m doing ok. Can’t complain. You know you’re right about that lab setup, we need to have the techs take another look at...”
And while I was saying this I hear, “Wait a minute, I can’t hear you! Some guy is talking here in the bathroom. Let me put my bluetooth on.”
I quietly finished, silently clean up and snuck out the door.
Nowadays me and this guy are great friends but I always like to tease him about his bathroom etiquette and that day!

Now that it's ubiquitous, it's no longer the status symbol it may have once been before the non-land lines became so prolific. Martha Mitchell, wife of John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under President Richard Nixon.
She had a totally ordinary land-line extension telephone - no status symbol - installed in her bathroom.

It amazes me the number of hotels that have phones in the water closet portion of their bathrooms. People don’t seem to realize how well background noises carry over a land line. Going to the bathroom should be a private matter. Goes again to the total lack of manners that most people exhibit now.

Leads to this scenario:
Stall 1: “Hey.”
Stall 2: “Uh...hey.”
Stall 1: “Whatcha doin’?”
Stall 2: “Uh...I’d think that’s kinda obvious.”
Stall 1: “Hang on...idiot in the next stall thinks I’m talking to him.”
True story.
