Is anyone old school and not use their phone on their home toilet?

I am on the toilet for ninety seconds at best, no need for a phone there. Besides, the last thing I want on my phone is any bacteria that could be found in a toilet.

As someone with a chronic bowel disease, i dislike you. What I’d give to a healthy bowel like yours!

I have IBS myself actually. The cumulative time I spend on the toilet is more than a minute, however each trip is still less than a minute. That shit comes out fast.

[-]

pajamakitten@reddit

You have my sympathy. Bowel issues are why I am vocal about free public toilets.

100% and disabled access. When you’ve got to go, you’ve really got to 😂

I'm old, old school, I don't use my phone on any toilet 🤣

[-]

Pink_Flash@reddit

Not all the time, because I have an an suite and can see my monitor from the toilet. YouTube baby 😂

[-]

_methuselah_@reddit

But then how would you photograph it?

[-]

God no. I daydream in bed at night after reading a book, but to be unentertained on the toilet? I don't think I can hack it. I tried reading the shampoo again when I forgot my phone, but I couldn't read the writing now I'm middle aged.

I tend to keep a book or two in the bathroom for particularly long 1s or 2s. Just in case.

Was reading books and magazines on the toilet before mobile phones infact was doing it before we had a landline

The lead doesn't stretch far enough for me!

[-]

GuyOnTheInterweb@reddit

if you go to an old, posh hotel, it will have a telephone mounted in the toilet! you know, for those biz negotiations.

[-]

Hairy_Ad5141@reddit

I am old but not posh, unfortunately 😕

[-]

Milky_Finger@reddit

Ah so crazy instead of eccentric.

Something to do with one of the party being full of bullshit?

prustage@reddit

I am never on the toilet long enough to either use the phone or daydream.

[-]

Forward-Tap2730@reddit

I'm usually done within a minute or two, but I like to nest in the cludgie and read for another 45 minutes.

[-]

pajamakitten@reddit

Same. People need more fibre and water if they are spending more than a minute on the toilet.

[-]

Forward-Tap2730@reddit

We keep a selection of books in there, hence it's known as the 'library'.

[-]

Many_Yesterday_451@reddit

There is no need for it in there. There's loads of reading material on bleach or shampoo bottles, etc.

[-]

theonlybandthatmatte@reddit

There is an Interesting parallel between this question and piles…

[-]

aurora_ethereallight@reddit

Exactly.

[-]

NiceCaterpillar8745@reddit

I try not to now. I find I spend more time using my phone. Just on the bog for an hour scrolling social media because I get so distracted, I forget why I'm really in there.

[-]

PowerApp101@reddit

I get dead leg if I'm there that long

[-]

hardboard@reddit

But do you depart thinner and lighter?

[-]

Apuonbus@reddit

I still have a land line. Is that old school?

[-]

aurora_ethereallight@reddit

Us too 😉

[-]

aurora_ethereallight@reddit

I do not use my phone whilst going no2... I dont even understand touching the phone after you've touched the toilet! (We've put the lid down for years because of cats, so if you want to use the toilet, you have to touch it first).

I am a software engineer working my but off to live off the grid farming and be rid of technology. Honestly, so tired of tech addiction.

Keep a copy of Rodgers Profanasaurus by the bog.

Hehehe thought I was the only one

Low-Cauliflower-5686@reddit

Never take phone into toilet at home nor take it out in public loos

[-]

BlindingsunYo@reddit

I play guitar 🎸 on my toilet

[-]

hardboard@reddit

To squeeze out a tune.

[-]

BlindingsunYo@reddit

Basically

[-]

skibbin@reddit

When else am I to find the time to re-read the shampoo bottle?

[-]

hardboard@reddit

Never shampoo, you need to concentrate on realpoo.

[-]

Grimdotdotdot@reddit

Oh god damnit, guess where I'm sitting right now?

[-]

intangible-tangerine@reddit

I only take my phone in to the bathroom occasionally to play music during a long everything shower.

I'm totally fine being alone with my own thoughts and find it worrying that other people aren't

[-]

hardboard@reddit

Agreed about people not being able/willing to not listen to anything for even five minutes.
I remember an engraved sign I saw a few times:
Some people come to sit and think, others come to shit and stink.

[-]

FromAcrosstheStars@reddit

I take my phone in case I get bored but usually don't take long enough to need it

[-]

Spam_Frittering@reddit

Never. Wee jobby and gone. I've never lingered on the lav.

[-]

Vegetable-Meaning-31@reddit

I went more than 10 years without even owning a mobile in the end I had no other choice because everything requires one these days for code verifications and all the rest of it. Worked in a call centre for years and just developed quite a disliking towards phones and for that matter people.

[-]

ProtoplanetaryNebula@reddit

I was never really a fan of phones, but I always loved computers, so when smartphones came around, which were essentially pocket sized computers, then I became interested.

[-]

Dragonogard549@reddit

idk about you but my toilet doesn’t have any optional extras

[-]

OllyDee@reddit

No, this one of the few technical advances I’ve seen my lifetime that has genuinely improved it. Before I’d sit there and read the backs of cleaning products or sing or simply repeat the word “boring” in a monotone voice. Well arseholes to that lads, it’s the fucking future.

[-]

Spiritual_Weather656@reddit

This is crazy because its my favourite time to process my thoughts. I get a 5-10 minute window of just thinking without distractions... It's like meditation or self therapy for me.

[-]

OllyDee@reddit

I get plenty of time to do that throughout the rest of my day, I’d rather just switch my brain off when I’m having a shit. I save the introspection for the train or when I’m at work.

[-]

phatboi23@reddit

nothing better than a bath with a tablet playing your favorite music of TV show and just "soak" for a solid 30mins.

[-]

OllyDee@reddit

Mate, I listen to music and audiobooks in the shower. That’s some real sci-fi shit as far as I’m concerned. I would never trust myself with a tablet in the bath though, that’s just asking for trouble with my level of physical competency.

[-]

tbf i prop it on the shitter haha

[-]

OllyDee@reddit

That’s resourceful of you, I’ll have to try that myself. Life just keeps on getting better.

[-]

phatboi23@reddit

I’ll have to try that myself. Life just keeps on getting better.

watching some TV while having a soak is peak relaxation imo :)

if the shitter isn't in the right place get a case that's a stand and prop it somewhere away from the bath so when playing with the rubber ducks you don't splash it haha
