Perhaps she used the work phone to call her boyfriend? Don't call someone dumb if you haven't thought of all the possibilities. Yes, everyone has a cell nowadays, but most workplaces have a phone, and a lot of people are smart enough to use that for a phone call rather than using their cell.
I never said it was professional to have phone sex anywhere at work. What I did say was that people aren't usually stupid enough to do that on their cell phones... they can easily be seen by a customer but seem to be making a business call if a customer comes in while they're on the work line.
109 - I realize it's unprofessional to use the company phone. I never denied that nor did I say it WAS professional. Please read any other comments I may have made on this thread... they usually explain something crucial. It is ALSO unprofessional to use a cell phone while on the floor, which was the entire point I was trying to make anyway. I don't understand why everyone's telling me it's unprofessional to use the phone at work; I realize, and I did mention that in this thread already.
29 - yes, OP called her boyfriend using a cellphone, thanks for restating the FML, no one is disputing that. SnakeDoctor never called anyone dumb. Don't accuse people of insulting someone else without actually reading what they wrote. You say that most places have regular phones and people are smart enough to use them over cell phones, yet you are defending OP for using a cell phone over a regular phone. I don't see the logic there. You'll probably accuse me of trying to start an argument or something, but I don't care, as you'll just embarrass yourself even more. I rest my case :)
Airforce/165 - We don't know whether she used a cell or not. She did not state that in the FML; and I didn't restate the FML at all. I was arguing another point of view. Okay, I saw after SnakeDoctor hadn't called anyone dumb, but their implications seemed there at the time which is why I commented the way I did. I'm sorry? Shit... what do you want me to say here? People's comments are open to interpretation. I'm sorry yours doesn't match with mine. I'm not defending anyone. Please read the comments I've posted if you're going to criticize them... you're quite the hypocrite for calling me out on that but not doing it yourself. Look up the meaning of 'embarrassed'. I am not embarrassed, sorry to disappoint. Let me reiterate for further reference: It is unprofessional to use a phone while physically on the floor or within customer sight. That said, while both uses (cell and landline) are unprofessional, it appears more professional to be on a land line where you can pretend to be on the phone with another customer. If you show you're on a cell phone, 99% of the time people will know you're not on the phone with a customer. This is not the case with a landline. FYI, I weighed both choices. This is in no way defending.

Maybe your boss will give you a raise
If he tipped over the rack with his boner, you may want to trade in your boyfriend and move up to doing middle management.
