Not knowing what's more rude:

1. Having someone talking on the phone to someone professional (like the receptionist at a dentists office) while sitting on the can in an office restroom
2. Having someone flush a very loud public toilet while someone is in the stall next to them on the phone during #1 above
3. Having to make someone else feel guilty because they have to make that choice of flushing #2 above or not when they are done and need to get out
   

I said screw it and flushed anyways, but DAMN, can you idiots PLEASE find a better time to call the dentist other than when you're takin' a shit?

Um... it's a bathroom. You are under absolutely no obligation to make the idiot's phone call more pleasant by avoiding a flush. Jeez. I mean, I appreciate that you're trying to be polite, but come ON.

my point was that i even had to make a decision on the varying degrees of politeness where really all I wanted to was get it over with and get back to work.

the hassle with the rude today is that they make us (trying to stay polite) have to make a judgment call on being rude back or avoiding the situation, both of which really escalate the problem and never really solve it.

All joking aside, the guy knows what goes on in bathrooms, and has elected not to worry about it. He doesn't care if you flush, splash, or pass gas. If he did care, he wouldn't be in there on the phone.
