Why do men read on the toilet?

I take either my laptop or ipod in to the Bathroom, i suppose it beats just sitting your arse down and the doing nothing while your bowels do all the work for you :hmmm: it can get really boring while your on the loo.

YES! I do that. I normally just play Solitaire on my phone or read the paper o_O

Though I am telling you now that GBA was invented so many could game whilst on the crapper. Nothing beats a game of Pokemon whilst on the pan. I wish I still had my GBA now.

Whatever happened to the GB and GBC? They were before GBA, and they were portable! And they had the first 6 Pokemon games on them :ryan:

Anyway, I don't read or anything in the bathroom. Now, if I'm doing something prior, and it's portable, like reading (pfft, hardly) or playing my DS or PSP, I'll bring it with me. But I won't just bring something in just because I'm going to the bathroom and need something to do.

I get annoyed when people take forever in the bathroom because they are reading or something. That, and I just want to finish and get out.
 
Well from this video, I'm assuming all women sing and tape themselves.


I get bored, I read game informer's mostly, because the wife doesn't allow me to renew the maxim subscription. Well, that's all I got.

Can I UNSEE that now? :ness:

Ok, that video did make me think of something though. If in general, men read on the toilet, why do women sing in the shower?
 
most men don't read on the toilet, there's hardly time to read anything if you're a normal human being and only spend 20-30 seconds at a time in there
 
You take 20-30 second shits? :srsly:

When I have a major case of the runs, I'm usually on the toilet for 10-15 minutes. What better way to manage my time by busting out the PSP, or reading a book? You're taking a huge, smelly, dump, and still getting shit done. (Pun intended) That's time management at it's finest. :mokken:

Those were my thoughts, but this thread has surprised me with how many people do.

I just assumed that in movies and such (when people take magazines and books into the toilet) it was just a joke, as if to suggest that they would be using it as toilet paper. I knew that some people would probably read during the toilet, but I just assumed that the majority would not, and that those that do are people with problems which mean that they take a very long time on the toilet.

Even if you did take 15 minutes, or lets say even 20 minutes, I still can't understand how people manage to fit in the time to read much of a book or to get anywhere significant in a game for the effort to be worthwhile, before having to put everything away again.

I thought everyone did, unless you're 60 and have diarrhea or something. How the hell do you need 15 minutes in the restroom?

Typically, my shits last a full minute or less. But 20-30 second shits... It's like you're trying to break the land/shit speed record or something. :gasp: Even with diarrhea I stay on the toilet longer because you know you get that lingering sensation that shit is still there... Waiting to strike... Then you get up and go back to your room, only to find that you have to shit again. :rage:

So, no taco shits = 1 minute max
Taco shits = 15 minutes max
General diarrhea = 8 minutes max
Runny taco shits = WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT.
 
I knew that guys spend a while in the lavatory, but I never thought that a significant number of you bring along games to play in there as well. That has me rather amused. :wacky:

Well, I can sort of see why guys want to read in the toilet, especially if the house is exceptionally rowdy or something and you want to have time alone doing what you want.

But still....taking about 20 mins in there is ludicrously long in my opinion, especially if someone else wants to use it during that time. I know I'd be annoyed or just raise an eyebrow if I knew that someone was taking about 20 mins in there. If you're really aiming to get something done in the toilet to warrant the need for that length of time in there....you may as well just come out and do it. :8F:

You'd be surprised at how much leveling you can do in a FF game in the time it takes to go to the bathroom!

Thank you for that :x3::awesome:

That was a pretty epic description!
 
Well, when discussing the amount of time it takes to drop the load, there's really 2 ways to look at it. You can go 10 times in a day, each worth about 20-30 seconds. Or you can go twice a day taking 10 minutes a pop. With work and life and such, I can't keep interrupting processes to take another 20-30 second pitstop. There's no problem with it if that's how you roll, I just prefer to do it them with as few of stops as possible. :ryan:

Oh, and I try to avoid going in public restrooms...I'd much rather poo in privacy :wacky:

Public restrooms are usually teh nastiez. :panic: I don't personally understand the fascination with having to bring something to occupy yourself when you go to the bathroom....unless you want to have time to burn or are constipated. I can't totally assert that its a guy thing either because on the rare occasion that I use a public restroom...there is always someone in there talking on their cell or arguing with their bf...I once heard a girl accidentally drop her phone in the toilet while she was on it and that "Ohhhh f*ck" moment was hilarious. I tried not to laugh...didn't work.
 
Does anybody else feel sometimes that they can't go in public bathrooms? Like, I'll feel like I have to poop at the mall, or at work sometimes.. and I'd go to the bathroom, sit for 10 mins and nothing. My bum is just not comfortable with going in places that aren't home. D;

I believe it actually took me working for 6 months at McD's before I pooped there for the first time.

For me, it's not that I can't go in public, I just refuse to. I'd rather hold it.

#1 is fine in a public restroom
#2 no thank you to a public restroom
 
I don't know why men read on the toilet, I definitely do not. I just do what I have to do, wipe, wash, dry, and get the hell outta there :x3:

I find it strange that people choose to read in such a location...
