Restroom or Phone Booth?

I have noticed this on more than one occasion, and I am sure there are many people who don't think it is a big deal. However, I just cannot wrap my head around this.

Why in the hell do some people have full blown conversations on their phones while using a public restroom?

Let's forget about the ick factor for a minute and not even think about all the germs floating around in those cesspools. I'm the type of person who uses my foot to flush the toilet when I'm out and will put two of the paper seat covers down. I don't want to touch anything let alone have all the nastiness in there land on something I put close to my face! Hopefully the people that do this wash their hands after they're finished with their business, but do you think the thought even enters their minds to wipe off the phone? Probably not.

The thing that bugs me the most about it is what on Earth is so important that it can't wait just a few minutes while you do your duty? (Take that however you want ) Are you so co dependent that you can't go potty alone? Do you need encouragement? If that's the case I'll shout a few uplifting words to you through the stall." You can do it!" " Almost there!" And for those people who are having the reeeeaaallly long conversations, no matter how loud you speak to try and drown out the noises your ass is making, we all know what you're doing and you seriously need to see a doctor about your digestive problems.  Not only that, do you think the person on the other end wants to hear you grunting or hear you pee? And what about the toilets flushing? You can't hide that sound!

Maybe it's just me. I wouldn't even question this if you told me you do this at home. That seems a little better (but not much) because there is at least some degree of privacy. But to do it in public just seems weird. It actually takes a lot to shock me or make me say WTF, but chatting it up while dropping a load is just something I don't get. If you need entertainment while you're in there, you've got your phone, play Candy Crush like normal people! But please, for the love of God, don't call all your friends. Some things really can wait a minute..or 10.
