These are good idea’s. When I have a calendar call (IN PERSON), we have to sit and wait alot, so often I have to go, so I tell the court clerk very simply, that”I will be unavailable for 5 minute’s, give him a list of MY cases, and ask that he skip OVER those cases if I have NOT come back from the toilet. This is proper court protocol and everyone has something, be it either a bathroom break, a smoke, or just a phone call they have to make.
When I have a confernece call, I just say, Excuse Me, I need 5 minute’s for a nature break. There is no need to tell peeople whether you need to make pee or poopie, tho some times peeople ask. I tell them to guess. Good luck on your calls. Peeople will understand b/c all the peeople I know do have to go to the toilet as far as I know. And, guess what, it does NOT smell like perfume. FOOEY!
