Absolutely yes. In fact, the more important it is, the less the bathroom is appropriate. If I were on the phone with the president, say, I would NOT take that call in the bathroom. Unless Trump had called then I would have gone into take dump while he was on the phone. But aside from that - important calls demand clothes!

FYI sometimes my BF gets calls when we are together and I like to go down and [fill in the blank here] while he's talking to somebody. I'm amazed at his concentration / ability to ignore what I'm doing. I could NOT talk fully coherently while somebody was doing that to me.


You're dating Bill Clinton?

You were almost doing OK with the plot there, but you can't say that "the more important a call is, the less the bathroom is appropriate" then turn around and declare proudly that you go down on your boyfriend while he's on the phone. Cute try, though.

I quietly asked him a quick question about what he was doing, partially with words and partially with a gesture, because *I* wanted to use our bathroom. And he reacts to me by pulling out one air pod and saying in a dismissive, annoyed-as-hell voice, "Um, I'm on a really important work call," - like, how dare you disturb me right now, I'm obviously working.

WTF?

He got off his call and I tried to approach it in a joking manner - like, you can forgive me for not realizing you couldn't be disturbed - and he saw no humor in it. In his mind, I should have magically known not to disturb him. Even when he's standing in OUR bathroom, and I'm trying to figure out if he's going to be in there for long because I have to pee. In my bathroom.

God I'm annoyed and I really want to hear from others that my annoyance is justified.


Did he shower during the work call?

I'd be annoyed too. If it's such an important call he'd be dressed and not in the bathroom.
