Multitasking

... and God turned him into a gleaming urinal...
From some joke...

On my trip to the urinal today, I heard some rustling of newspaper from one of the bathroom stalls. Curious, I involuntarily trained my ears and dropped a few more eaves.

Pretty soon, the mobile went off, buzzing a tune (the rainy song from Hum Tum). The tune was at first muted, but got louder as the cell was apparently fished out from a pocket. A conversation ensued.

At one point, I heard him say:

... I am in the toilet right now, sir. I will come in a few minutes...

A brash breach of toilet etiquette, isn't it? Wouldn't you have lied or said something like "sir, I am sitting for something at present. hmm? Trust me, sir... you will not want to be here right now. "

And btw, I wasn't staying back to listen... I was merely completing my job and was washing my hands.
