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?

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!

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

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

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.

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

kfallon · 28-06-2012 11:32PM

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

downwithpeace · 28-06-2012 11:33PM

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 · 28-06-2012 11:36PM

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

Palytoxin · 28-06-2012 11:37PM

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 · 28-06-2012 11:39PM

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

MaxSteele · 28-06-2012 11:42PM

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:

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.
