Not unless I am sick and think I might need to call an ambulance or someone else to take me to E.R.  So, in that case, I also unlock the front door.  

Otherwise, it seems a bit crazy.  I do remember the first time I saw a phone mounted on the wall in a bathroom, though.  I was staying in a hotel during a business trip in Kansas City.

Attending to business while conducting your business can lead your focus astray, I try to avoid that but it does happen infrequently. This is a question I never thought I would find here Roger. Nothing is sacred in AR!

Once I had mine in the ladies room at the Yale Club in New York.  It rang.  I thought I was the only person there, and a few seconds after I answered there was a loud flush.  So no more answering calls in a ladies room.

It's because of Murphy that I do bring my phone into the bathroom with me. You know it's funny, but I don't get calls at my home bathroom, but I do in the office bathroom where the accoustics are very bad...go figure. I wish Murphy would go to hell.

Roger - I do not bring my phone into the bathroom either. However, I know of some people who have no issue talking while going to the bathroom at the same time. Personally I think that is absolutely disgusting.

Surprisingly, my phone rings - almost always - when I am about to leave the home and wearing my shoes. Murphy's Law?
