Having just completed a test FaceTime call with a rep at Apple (1.888.FACETIME), it occurs to me that a system of etiquette and standards for FaceTime calls is probably a good idea. Here are my initial ideas:

  • No nudity unless both parties agree to it. If I am videochatting with you and suddenly I see your d*** on my screen, that's not cool. (Of course, it probably took about one minute for the first video phone sex call to occur once a couple got their matching iPhone 4s. And that doesn't count the calls made by Apple engineers "testing" the phone. I imagine this will be the unspoken reason why a lot of people use FaceTime.)
  • For God's sake, no FaceTime calls while you're on the can. It's bad enough that people make regular phone calls while they're on the toilet.
  • If other people are in the room with you, you must disclose this to the person on the other end. No fair having a bunch of people sitting quietly out of eyeshot of the camera but watching what's happening on the screen.
  • No aiming the back-side camera at the Sun.
That's all I've got for now.
 
How about I do whatever the heck I want on my personal phone calls?

Not like I am going to call a random number and face-time with them, just like i dont random dial and talk to people.

If I feel comfortable showing my junk to someone on the phone, that is between me and said person.

Get a grip dude.
 
OP: this is like making a thread about how to carry out phone calls:

Dont scream loudly. thats a given lol.

personally i would think it rude for me NOT to flash my dick at everyone i FaceTIme with.
 
What a buzz kill…..

It OCCURS to me that you putting forth your ideas is just that, your ideas…..

That's all you’ve GOT for now? Gee thanks let me know if there is anything else you come up with Mrs. Manners…..

Lets do facetime K? clay……… Pinky finger down, ring finger down, next finger UP, pointing finger down……
 
Sounds like I need to develop the newest app: FaceTime Roulette ... like chatroulette.com but better.
 
Sorry clayj, doesn't seem like your rules have much backing in the community. :D

You forgot the teacup and Chamomile.:D
 
Who wants to facetime? I'm going to have my dick on screen while im on the toilet in a room with a bunch of people (out of eye-shot) and i will occasionally change the camera around to face directly into the sun.

PM if interested.

:D

ring, ring....I think clay jay is calling??? :eek:
 
I disagree with the facetime on the toilet.

I plan to put different backdrops behind my tolilet so it looks like I am on safari or in outerspace when on the toilet.

As long as I don't do too much grimacing and grunting, I think it is fine.
 
I think I'm going to market an IP4 accessory dongle that attaches to your bumper with a bottle of hand sanitizer...

Who knows where that screen has been!?
