The bathroom stall at work gets 0 bars.

Would be funny if they'd built a Faraday cage around the bathroom to stop people sitting on the toilet on their phones for ages

You can't stop me, I have WarioWare on my GBA emulator on my phone!

That plus those seats designed to put strain on your legs would be a 0/10 pooping experience. The only way I could think to make it worse is if you could find a way to send an all-hands message in Slack: "567primemover has been on the toilet for more than 7 minutes. Send him a word of encouragement!"

Make sure the toilet is too tall for most people too.

I'd make a scoreboard out of it, competitive shutting for both high and low scores

Don't give them any fucking ideas

Hasn't that been done before? Maybe not Faraday cages but jammers or something, I swear I remember something like that.

A jammer would be the stupidest thing a place could do. Is is illegal and enforced, plus cell companies help investigate it. And Faraday cage is not necessarily illegal.

Alas, the laws don't stop idiots with a "great idea":

It seems companies aren't as stupid about it as schools, though. I guess it's easier to risk wasting taxpayer money than your own money 🫤

Corporations have a legal department that will run in and slap the words back into your mouth.
