I hear you texting on the toilet!

Maybe I have to set the scene for you, if the title of this post doesn't imply it.

I had to use the public restroom at the college. As usual you take a quick peak to see which stalls are available. There's only one other girl using a stall. I take the one next to her because the others creeped me out for lack of cleanliness.

Now lets face it. Some people are pretty shy about doing their business with others present. I thought, that this was the case for this neighbor of mine who was strangely quiet and still.

Except for that sound! You know the one... it's not the sound of toilet paper tearing, tampon wrapper shredding, or anything else. It's the sound of someone clicking away on their phone. While they are on the john!

I don't know why but I thought this was worse than texting and driving.

When I was in high school, we didn't have cell phones. Now there is a whole generation defined by their cell phone use. New laws are coming into place because this generation is so plugged into every electrical and digital orifice, that it almost embarrasses me.

We cant even take a dump without twittering someone about it. To put it bluntly.

I see a minion of text messaging zombies, clicking away in class, on the job, and rudely during face to face conversations with someone else. We have so many social networks available to us that we some how feel obligated to tell the whole world our personal life. We are our own paparazzi!

Note: You might want to err on the side of caution next time you ask to borrow someone's phone.
