This is a story I heard from someone else. I believe the witness to be very credible.
I work for a very large financial services company. (Yes, you’ve heard of it. No, the company didn’t get bailout money.)
We produce and consume a LOT of information, and consequently have a huge systems department (our systems department by itself is larger than most entire companies).
So the end result is a massive building crammed with techies. Everyone’s wired, 24/7/365.
It’s not uncommon to heard people using their phones in the bathroom. That seems a bit disgusting to me. I refuse to answer my phone when in the bathroom – whatever the problem is, it can wait a few minutes.
The incident that takes the cake was witness by a friend. As he was assuming the squatting positions, he saw hands in the next stall drop to the floor … and begin typing. Yes, someone was doing IM while pooping. Gross.
