Why do people "read" in the toilet?

The walls in my work toilet is blank so I usually connect to the wireless using my phone and have a good oul read on boards/check the hotmail etc etc

Whenever I see magazines in the toilet, I always pick them up with a certain degree of caution. I think once a magazine goes in there, it is forever tainted.

It's certainly the only place a politician really knows what they are doing.

Reading in the toilet is mostly a male thing methinks. During ancient Roman times they also used to have multi-toilets, sometimes in a circle, where they would chat. Matters of state would go down there?

That was also the beginnings of how getting the wrong end of the stick began

the Roman baths. Regardless, the outcome was the same! The person in the next stall may have asked for their neighbor to "pass the stick," instead of toilet paper since that was yet to exist. The stick had a sponge on one end and if the recipient grabbed the wrong end, they'd be getting the wrong end of the stick. Most definitely unpleasant

Er... nothing? It's a few seconds. And the amount one would get to read within that time-frame is a small paragraph at best.

Completely agree with you. Actually by the time i opened a book, found the page and even began to read the first sentence id be done. Id much rather read sitting on the couch or in bed with my feet up, not with my pants around my ankles sitting on a cold toilet bowl.

Never understood those who take longer than a minute on the throne.

You drop your drawers, relax your sphincter and hey presto! it all comes out.

Quick wipe and you're done.
IF you were on the Dutch Mould the night before, howeve, then you'll probably need a shower.

It's more fun to wait until you're touching cloth before deciding to make a break for the toilet... get a bit of turtling done along the way... ooh will it slip out... won't it.

I agree.

I prefer to read in bed with my pants around my ankles

Yeah I could never get into the reading on the toilet thing, I tried it but I was confused about which stage of the process I should start reading at. For example, when I initially go into the toilet I usually get to the important business straight away so that rules out reading before hmm.. dumping. Then of course you have to wipe straight away too cos otherwise it's gonna get somewhat crusty down there, so that rules out reading at that stage. Then by the time thats all done you're finished and there is no reason to remain sitting on the toilet. So if you do read at on the toilet what "stage" do you do it at?

At the first 'push' .

No use bringing in The Times if she is going to spray out handily and evacuate in one blow.

The first 'push' tells the story, if there is a bit of resistance and stretch,oooh, get the Tooimes.

If there is a bit of 'give' in the first push, then the Indo is yer man, the small version.Kevin Myers should soften it up for ya.

If there is 'negativity' in the first push, like, she doesn't spool up, well I go for the Irish Daily Mail to steady me up for the battle ahead.

Would steer clear of the 'Red Tops' as they tend to distract from the job at hand and put pressure on the gear stick.

I personally find that reading The Irish Socialist tends to loosen the gut and fire out the wad in one clean go!!

That's just me, may not work for you.

Just my 2c

how many of you that read whilst taking a dump get so engrossed in what your reading, you forget that you have finished your dump and you only notice when your legs and ar$e start to go numb from sitting on the toilet for so long?

It happens to me often

Jeez it must get crusty then, you'd need a hammer and chisel to clean your arse if you're sitting on the bog that long after a barry white.
