We already know that a solid chunk of Britons use mobile net while in the throes of passion, and now Captain Obvious (today known as Nokia) has awkwardly landed to tell the world that Americans do too. A recent survey, which we can only imagine was absolutely thrilling to conduct, found that some 53% of working Americans “have been interrupted by a work-related phone shout or e-mail while in the bathroom.” Furthermore, some 23% have allowed a shout / e-mail to interrupt them while on a date, but that’s probably considering 59% of those polled never, ever turn off their mobile. Just think — the next date your buddy answers with a tip of stress in his / her voice, there’s a statistically significant chance that you’re barging in on some seriously personal business.
