    Well AH do you?I often do this in work or at home if things are manic. Just go for a sit down on the jacks for 5-10 mins..whip out the phone to see whats happening on Facebook or twitter and just chill. Sometimes If I am in the jacks at home and some1 comes into the bedroom( Its an en suite) I will make noise with the Toilet Roll holder just so they think Im doing somethingDo you do this?

    Can't say I do.


    eta: There are much more comfortable seats in the house/work.

    Absolutely, I thought everyone did.

    I used to bring a newspaper but now I just need a smartphone.

    If you are too long, you do get pins and needles.

    Anyone who doesn't do it most likely doesn't have kids.

    I go in for a valid reason but do extend the 'logging period' to an altogether unreasonable length of time to allow for some rumination, light reading and Tetris.

    Yup, i have a library in there pretty much for this very reason

    I presumed this was a given. It's a stupid employee who drops anchor in Crapistan Bay while off the clock. Most decent employers would take into account that their employees are taking 15-20 minutes a day to sit on the can and pass away some time.

    Not a fan of using a mobile while doing so to be honest. It's an ideal place to practice some short mindfulness techniques.

    I've never read a magazine or used a phone while on the bowl.

    For the sort of goods i'm delivering, my whole concentration is needed or else a bio-chemical team have to be called in to quarantine off the estate and a massive clean-up operation ensues.

    Never again...

    I have applied for jobs whilst on the throne.

    It's only the No. 1 sign of homicidal mania, nothing to worry about - for you anyway.

    I don't think I will ever look at the movie title The Big Chill quite the same ever again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭Sheldons Brain


    Most people who sit on toilets are full of crap.

    I can see the telly in my bedroom from the en suite.

    Pure luxury right there people!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭smileyj1987


    Yeah I do it from time to time . I also send selfies of me on snapchat sitting on my throne too .

    There was a guy leaving our office one day after working with us for 2 years. I saw him doing the rounds and knew he was on his way to me. Didn't really like the guy so I didn't want to be fake and tell him it was nice working with him. I nipped out before he got to my desk and then sat on the throne for 15 minutes just waiting for him to finish his rounds.

    My last job had no disabled personel and a great disabled jaxx. Nice head rest, comfy arm rests..... it was hard not to have a little nap. Place was always spotless too.

    I have gone to the loo in work for this very reason on a few occasions. However, there is only one cubicle so I've had to be mindful of 'hogging' it a couple of times when others were gathering outside

    I hear you. Good southpark episode, toilet-time is the last bastion of american freedom.

    Couldn't really relax if there wasn't a multi-cubicle setup here in work. What really grinds my gears is when you've just dropped the kacks and are settling in a good 15 minute read/cry/snooze/meditate, only to have some cleaner knock on the door to see if anyone is in there. Really wrecks my buzz.

    Almost as annoying as those eco lights that automatically turn off after a few minutes.
