Do you read in the bathroom?

supernova84

I can't get my head around how a person could read a book or magazine while making a deposit or draining the lizard. Do you read in the bathroom?

ceegee

As above, Often read and post on Boards while doing my business

Mint Sauce

Magazines, the TV listings, back of the shampoo bottle, or the smart phone.

Read while on the toilet?

I'm doing a barry white as we speak!
*ploop*

baldbear

Ohh yes. Shampoo bottles etc. Aldi/lidl material is the best whilst sitting on the throne.

Red Hand

Of course not. Some people treat the toilet as a santuary, when it's just a place to void your bowels.

antodeco

There's nothing better to sit back and relax while moistening a nut log from within. Reading through a story, I choose which paragraph shall be the start of the evacuation procedure. Struggling to concentrate and clearly see the letters, the tears build up in my eyes, as my knees rise, as a darkened moist baguette plops from within.
Sit back, wipe the tears from your eye, reading on, knowing the spicy nutty aroma absorbs into the freshly smelling paper of your book.

Crosswords and Sudokus, great to work things out in the W.C.

Ddad

Takes your mind off the filthy act. I also read during sex, washing up, muddy walks, handwashing etc DDDDUUUURRRRRTTTTTYYYYY.

kfallon

Nope, in, get the business done, wash hands and get out!

downwithpeace

No time, not in long enough.

tempura

Yep , I do and I have the entire collection of these

You can learn things on the loo.

Yep. Otherwise it's just time you're not getting back.

Getting all 3 stars on an angry birds level never felt better!:D

hairyprincess

Yep I read, and I've often replied to threads while moving my bowels :pac:

Palytoxin

I squat and surf, it's the best!

Especially the super sudoku in the indo on Sat. Made for that tougher crap.:D

I sometimes sit with the laptop so long i get pins and needles in my legs.

Nope, toilet ninja. In and out in record time, not a thing left out of place, and I leave a window ajar so it looks like I might have escaped that way.

What's up with people leaving the door and window closed after they've taken a smelly crap, like it's important that they contain the smell for as long as possible for the next unfortunate? Is it like a joke like a dutch oven, or is there some logic to it?

Shryke

Anyone using the toilet long enough that they need to read something has health issues.

MaxSteele

I don't need any of that.

I basically end up searching for the meaning of life, plan the future, update my list of enemies and figure out all of my little worldly problems while unleashing the mighty brown battering ram on the gates of Rome. :pac:

lookitsme

i have a mini library next to my porcelain throne. when you know you are going to be engaged for a while why not browse some "toilet trivia" some chap once said "every action has a positive and negative reaction" in other words a well planned trip to the john can result in loosing some fecal weight but gaining so much useless information. a win win situation in my book (qi. the book of general ignorance at the moment)

tip from the top number 23: if you feel yourself getting interested in your read, stop for a minute and wipe up. its harder to do it after it has formed a crust.

Please Kill Me

Yep! I have a selection of motorbike magazines and a PSP with Grand Theft Auto if I think I may be a while!!

Ah yes.. nothing like having the latest book or bit of tech covered in fecal matter.

You're doing it wrong.

emzolita

The boards app comes in handy here

Dangerous Man

There's no point to this thread unless flutterinbantam somehow arrives in...

Tesco Massacre

I have a book of poetry beside the loo.

April is the cruellest month,
Breeding lilacs....



*faaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttt*

More germs on your phone than the toilet seat:mad:

Larbre34

So here i am lying in bed looking at AH to amuse myself to sleep. and then you lot start talking about leisurely dumps. and now i need to go. well ill tell you what, you lot are bloody coming with me

nacimroc

Have hundreds of books in my toilet bookshelves! I could easily spend an hour reading away whilst ****ting! Don't see why anyone would have a problem with it to be honest!

pragmatic1

Yep. It relaxes me. I just sit and wait for nature to take its course rather than forcing it. Nothing worse than a rushed and forced poo.

no i'm just in & out, lucky that way I suppose.My OH takes the newsp & emerges half an hour later. T.G for 2 toilets

Skerries

I specifically buy a magazine for this very purpose

Min

I think some people have bad diets and are constipated, otherwise one wouldn't have enough time for a read.

Your missing the point. I get up when I'm finished reading, not ****ting! I'd be done with a **** in 5 mins, but I read for ages, then get up! Its more about the reading tbh. Feels great to completely clear out everything though

Very important to bring some reading material with you to the lavatory.
You never know the day when you're in there, job done and there's no toilet paper. . .:D

Mance Rayder

I am on book 4 of Game of Thrones. All from reading on the Throne!:pac:

af_thefragile

Nope.

I try to do what I need to do and get out as soon as possible!

fox_1973

even my 7 yr old grabs a book now going to the toilet, all thanks to my OH, my loo downstairs looks like a library sometimes with magazines, books and the resident toilet books in there! Cant say i do it myself.....well only sometimes

PattheMetaller

Ahh the beuty of an iPad. Every newspaper in the world at your fingertips while having a jobby!!!

Aglomerado

I have a copy of Stephen Pile's book of Heroic Failures in the guest jax. Very handy short snippets for reading while pushing brown. Magazine rack in bathroom with the supplements from the Sunday papers. Nothing like Dr Ozzy in the Sunday Times Magazine when crimping off a length.

kfallon

I never read in the jax but sometimes I have a good old pray depending on the size of the 'log' I'm trying to squeeze out :eek:

bren2001

Usually just play a bit of angry birds, get to a level that I find hard, just finish up and leave. That levels for a different day.

Shenshen

Of course... I always have a stack of comic books in the bathroom for just that reason.

It's a bit of a family tradition, my parents do it, too.

Roadend

I wait until the turtle's head is poping out before I go, no time to read at that stage
