Strange behaviour...
I was overtaken as I went into the Ladies toilet by a Chinese/Singaporean woman (I won't say lady for reasons that will become apparent) chatting on her phone. She entered the one available cubicle, still chatting and proceeded to pee noisily while continuing her conversation!! I was gobsmacked ! What must the person on the other end of the phone been thinking? Or is it a normal thing?

Looking at the floors of local toilets, (at least the male ones) I have to say yeah, most definitely, as it's probably worse cause if they are holding their phone with one hand and their bags with the other, well, you get the picture! 
concerned? Nah, I got a wife & daughter who complain about local toilets as well!

In Malaysia I was at a bar watching a live band the lead singer was wearing one of those wireless head microphones, he walked off stage zipped into the bog and carried on singing while he went for a pee which could be heard over his singing along with the flush. When he came back on stage no-one even batted an eyelid.

I don't but then I don't spend that long in there! Unlike my husband who will vanish with the newspaper, magazine etc! Anyhoo - noone hears you doing your stuff while you're surfing the net... I just think that if my Singaporean friends chatted to me while they were peeing and I could hear it, I'd find that really weird....!

That's okay. When you drop a big one and it goes kerplunk! You just tell whoever you are talking to that you're poolside and somebody just did a bellyflop in the pool!
