Clicky: Do you pump while on the phone?

MBandBud · September 2010

I was on a support phone call the other day and pumping. I could not decide whether the other caller knew what the sound was. Do you pump while on the phone?[Poll]

I share an office so I had to use our pump room and it doesn't have a phone so I couldn't, but if I had a private office I probably would have. I don't think it's a big deal and probably easier just to take calls as they come rather than play catch up when you're finished.

Don't do it. The sound is distinctive and it is like anything. Don't take a call when you are eating, etc....

I said "yes, anyone," but really not just ANYONE. I wouldn't call a client, for instance, without turning off the pump. But I'll talk to coworkers or make annoying personal calls (like calling customer service at the cable company or whatever). I don't really care if those people know I'm pumping or not.

I said anyone, but that only applies to personal calls. I never made work related calls while pumping, it was just too weird. I would call my parents, my husband, any phone "errands", etc. Also, I was not in my office and only had my cell phone, so it wasn't practical for work calls anyway. While pumping, I was either reading or on the phone, otherwise I got bored and felt like I was wasting time.

I've pumped while on personal calls. I pump in my office while I continue to do work. I have pumped while on conference calls, but only when I have the line on mute. When I have to talk, I always turn the pump off. The sound is distinctive and, even if someone didn't know what it was, I would be very embarrassed if they asked.
