Men bringing newspapers to the "sh1thouse"

xzanti

I've noticed a lot of men doing this, my other half included, why do they feel the need to bring reading matter into the loo when moving their bowels? If the body is ready to excrete the waste it should be a fairly quick affair Are they forcing it out or what?

petes

I don't bring a paper but find myself reading whatever is to hand.

Don1

I reckon it's for quiet time!!! Or, depending on the reading material it could be something requiring a little more privacy!!

Pighead

Just because a lad goes to the loo doesn't necessarily mean he's going for a Number 2. A lot of the time Pighead goes into a cubicle just to get a break from the constant moaning and nagging of the chicks in his life. I call it "Cubicle Of Calmly Quiet" Time or COCQ Time for short.

Wishbone Ash

I thought I was the only one who hated that. It's so unhygienic especially at work when people take the communal paper. It's even worse when they leave it on the floor for someone else to remove. Yuck.

I would make about 3 trips a day to the loo, and if possible i will bring something to read, it can take anywhere from 2 minutes up to 15, so boredom tends to become a factor on the longer trips.

Nothing wrong with it! I read books, play games and play guitar on the bog sometimes.

Would you prefer men to have sex simply to empty their testicles quickly? Perfection takes time, and all good things come to those that wait... etc

connundrum

I find it to be quite the relaxing affair.. when the world is rushing by, there's nothing like grabbing the Indo/Times/anything at all and heading off to the dump-machine.

2 minutes might actually be spent doing the business.. the other 18 are spent reading the paper

I'll take your 'Men bringing newspapers to the loo' question, and I'll raise you a 'Women going to the bathroom in 2's and 3's' question!

Fajitas!

Get with the times. Laptops and wireless connections

But yeah..."Perfection takes time, and all good things come to those that wait... etc"

Don't bring newspapers but read whatever is around. Ingredients of shampoo bottle or whatever. Might as well get comfortable sure!Here we go.

Damn straight! I'm on the can right now!

admiralofthefleet

we do it because when we go for a number 2 we dont dont think about make-up or hair or a nail we broke that morning or that pair of shoes we saw that we MUST have.
like other people have said, whatever is at hand we read, i know the back of a domestos bottle off by heart now!

Sleepy

Yeah, my mother's always going on at me for that when I'm at home. TBH I see it as proof that men can indeed multi-task.

What's so complicated about the process of moving one's bowels that women are unable to keep up with current affairs whilst doing it?

projectmayhem

women don't poo, so they just don't know what it's like to sit there and begin contemplating life. i've come up with so many ideas for scripts and stuff while on the loo

can't really read newspapers on it. i did try playing my psp once though

peasant

Newspaper flyers like Aldi or Expert leaflets come in handy.
Pictures to look at, not too much text, enough to keep you occupied but not too much so you don't have to spend ages sitting in your own cloud because you have to finish reading that article.

Dave!

I don't bring anything in usually, cos my movements are for the most part quite rapid.

If I'm in work I sometimes bring in a paper and look at the front page (only if I have it to hand), or else I play a game on my phone. Just cos it gives me time to relax lol

I usually take about 3 minutes tops in the bathroom at any one time but once I did take my DS with me, playing Advance Wars. Was still on the jacks about 90 minutes later.

I find my en-suite at home to be a supremely relaxing room. Sometimes I'll get just my book and sit in there, reading. My bathroom in my flat isn't so nice because my flatmate also uses it, and may wonder what I'm doing in there for long periods of time. Also, the colours aren't as soothing.

Blitzkrieger

You really wouldn't want to know the horrifying, haunting truth.

Let's say it's about peace and quiet where nobody wants to disturb you.....

faceman

Reading on the jax is one of life's little pleasures. Altho playin guitar can be tricky. I find its the best time to play games in me moby.

Just always remember to put the lid down before you flush..... (those of you who saw the late late show a few weeksn ago will know what i mean...)

Another big pleasure for a man is peeing sitting down. i love it and i bet lots of other guys do too.

The communal paper at work is ALWAYS the Sun...

a man sitting down for a pee is called a peemale, being either too lazy or too drunk to pee standing up

"OK who took page 3?"

Times when there is nothing to read, I just whip out.....the mobile and play a game on it, or read through a few drunken text messages I got and laugh at them.

Black Swan

Perhaps men are being practical? It seems like a natural outcome after reading the Herald.

Muzzy

As pointed out, it's not neccessarly the reading but the timeout in a quite place where nobody can bother you that does it for me.

I usually read through my texts and sort out and clean up stuff on my phone. Or in public toilets, read all the stuff that people scratch into the doors and walls.



.......Come to think of it, at lunch today and went into the jacks and in the cubical next to me was a guy taking pictures of god knows what, hopefully some great artwork/graffiti on the door or something!!:eek:

Redrocket

i normally empty my phone's inbox while sitting on the loo,
i dnot really understand brining newspapers there....
the phone is in the pocket and convenient, a newspaper has to be planned and brought there intentionally

Reading on the toilet is great.

In my jacks at home I have issues of FourFourTwo, The Far Side books, a Shakespeare Quotes book, Shampoo Bottle and some issues of Q Magazine.

Tar.Aldarion

Nah, I'm an in and out man.
Reading is for everywhere else. Probably best in bed or on the train.

Waltons

Don't tend to take the paper in, but we've several Sudoku books/electronic games in the toilets, and I generally have a go at one.

thebman

I've played my DS and Brain Age Sudoku games but I don't bring in a newspaper ever. The DS is handy if its in my pocket. Otherwise I just play Sudoku on my phone (it isn't as good but I'm not going to go get my DS if I don't have it on me).

If I don't have my phone or DS with me, I'm in the toilet for a few minutes but if I do, I can be in there for 20 minutes or so.

Again its quiet so why not?

No idea. I like a nice efficient 30 second evacuation myself. I've got better things to do than hang around in my bathroom.

I asked this question of a group when I was 18 and was told they do this so they can talk about me. I've always been quite happy with that answer so I've never sought to clarify it.

Thrill

[Way off topic] Sorry about this but there's something thats been bothering me for years now and i need to get it off my chest.

Why don't women take a newspaper into the bog with them?

Theres the local rag, lying on the table, in plain sight, and they walk past it and go straight into the lav to take a dump.:eek: :eek: I just don't understand it. I lie awake nights tossing and turning trying to solve this weird behavior but its beyond me.It really is. I'm at my wits end.

Please help! (cos i really need it):)

FlutterinBantam

I was in a dumphouse in Zurich last month and they had a screen about the size of a tabloid newspage on the back of the dunny door.The dumper could select a language and get up to date front page news from around the world.

Quite a relaxing and informative way to assist one's cable laying I opined to myself, as I trawled the headlines.

jester77

I don't know why women get upset by this. It's the closest thing to multi-taking us men can do, ye should be proud

Yes but I could have lived with out the IM from the loo stating there was not toilet roll in there.
Why can't people check there is toilet paper in there first.

My boss does this !
It belong under the behaviour I don't need to know about from the opposite sex

I'm sure there's some thing's men would hate to think women do

Red Hand

One word:


Freaks!:)

Stephen

We bring newspapers to the toilet, the jacks, the bog, the sh1tter, the crapper, the sh1thouse, etc. Never to the loo. Never.

empirix

My mate stocks up as he puts it while on bog i.e. rolls about 5 or 6 joints, quite creative really.

The restroom?

Stephen

Only if you're american
Nice change of thread title.

BossArky

I agree that playing guitar is great in the bog, excellent accoustics. Didn't Tom Waits record an album in his bathroom once? Whenever I am recording vocals on a track I do it in the toilet (not necessarily sitting on the throne).

Steyr

Its a man thing you wouldnt understand.

Thats certainly a pleasant change of the thread name Xzanti.

I would imagine (hope! :eek: ) they probably don't wipe their actual arse with it.
