Working While Taking A Dump

The other day I was in deep thought (day dreaming), and a funny scenario ran through my head. At the end of my daydreaming session I was left with a question I'll pass on to you to get your feedback and thoughts on. It's best told in the first person so I'll tell the story from that perspective even though it's fictional.

Story goes like this...
So the other day I walked into the bathroom at my corporate America job and chose my favorite stall. I politely knocked on the door before I entered to be certain not to disrupt anyone in deep concentration. Good news, the stall was clear and I began my rigorous throne cleaning process before I sat down. At about that time I heard someone talking. My initial reaction was, are they talking to me? Then I realized they were talking to someone else but noone was answering (at least noone that I could hear). Then I realized this individual was talking on his cell phone. Not only was he talking on his cell phone but as the conversation continued I realized he was talking to one of the head executives people at our company. At this point I didn't know what to think. I was struck with the astonishment that this guy had enough balls to call up a major executive and conduct business while he was taking care of business. Then on the other hand I was impressed that he was so effecient to multitask and not seem phased by it one bit.

So now I pass this thought on to you. What do you guys think? Should I have been shocked and appaled or impressed? Would you be shocked or impressed or just plain grossed out?Conducting business on the throne or taking a dump, Impressed or Depressed?
