Miss Manners: People keep flushing toilets in my office!
I have a very stressful job. I am connected to my phone almost 24/7, and I take all calls regardless of my location.
I frequently take calls from clients and staff while using the ladies’ room. I am distressed when others using the same restroom flush toilets and use loud hand-dryers while I’m on the phone. It must be obvious to them that I’m talking, and yet they make these noises, which interrupt my calls. How can I politely ask others to refrain from flushing or using the hand dryer while I’m on the phone?What did you have in mind? “Please stop going about your business while I’m trying to conduct my business?”
Miss Manners suggests instead that you get yourself some boundaries -- and go apologize to all of the poor women you annoyed.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
