Nude phoning: the call of the wild?

December 28, 2006

According to a survey, nearly half of Brits regularly chat with friends and family on their home phone while naked. 

I didn’t find that to be terribly shocking. People are going to be buck-naked at home sometimes, and it stands to reason the phone is going to ring. What would shock me is to find people who refuse to answer a ringing phone until they throw something on. Now, that’s weird. 

The survey also looked into what sort of multi-tasking people do while speaking on the phone: ironing, cooking, etc.  The best single stat: 63 percent of men confessed to watching television while carrying on phone conversations!  The second-best stat? Ten percent admitted to walking away from the phone at times and leaving callers talking to nobody. Here’s the story, courtesy of The Sun’s Website
