Peeing on any phone call should be socially acceptable
Summary
Peeing while on a phone call should be totally acceptable, according to a stranger who shares his bathroom etiquette manifesto with Kareem. The conversation spirals from silent peeing techniques (bladder control versus strategic aim) to European sitting culture to the real question: when is it NOT okay to answer the phone? The rider draws the line at number two, or as Germans call it, "chisen," which he reserves for friends and family only. Kareem learns that choking the chicken translates to "choking Jurgen" in German. New York's bathrooms are a disaster zone, apparently. The whole city is pissed.

So, what's your take? Peeing on any phone call should be socially acceptable. 100% agree. You have to be very like firm with how to use the mute button, though. Like when you listen to somebody, you have to say yes sometimes.
Yeah. Yeah. You just go yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's always a gamble because the acoustics change as well.
But you also know how to pee silently.
You know how to do that?
Yeah. Do you know how to do that?
It needs a lot of bladder control, but I do know how to do that.
Oh, mine doesn't have. Mine has to do with aim.
It's not aim. It's more like charging up right in the right second and letting go very smoothly.
Oh, you start and stop.
If I don't have access to my phone right now, like using the mute button, then you have to do start and stop.
You got to aim, dude. You cannot.
Okay, so first we sit down.
In Europe. That's a thing, right?
Men and women.
Men and women.
Oh, that's actually really nice.
You don't do that in the US?
No.
Not at all.
No, not even on public restrooms. Most men pee standing up and the bathroom is a disaster. There's piss everywhere.
Have you been to the US lately?
I have. Yeah. Have you been to New York?
I haven't been in a long time, but I can imagine.
Okay, New York City has pissed. The whole city is pissed.
The whole city's just.
The whole city is pissed. It's pissed city.
I would say if you have to pee while you're on a phone call, it's sit down only.
But what about number?
Number two. Or as they call it in Germany, chisen.
What does that mean? Number two, literally?
It means taking a.
Oh.
I would say a number two is something that is exclusive to friends and family.
When are times it is not acceptable to accept a phone call?
I would say a phone call is always acceptable.
Masturbating.
No, I wouldn't do that.
Sometimes I made phone calls when I'm spanking the monkey. Or how we say in Germany, the monkey.
What about choking the chicken?
We say durgen jurgen, which means choking jurgen, which is a German name.
Choking jurgen.
Choking jurgen. Choking jurgen. Durgen.
Hey, what are you doing, dude? I'm just choking choking my jurg. Choking my jurgen.
