Phone in the Bathroom?

[SharpWit 2,708]

I've heard this might be more of a guy thing but I have no basis for this. Do you take your phone out in the restroom? Pass the time, text a few friends, check social media, catch up on the latest news and entertainment, or do you just get your business done and over with? For those who say it's gross, there's a good chance the toilet is actually cleaner than your phone.

Personally I do use my phone while in the bathroom, but I'll never go so far as others and make or take phone calls and any videos I view either at low volume or with headphones. Used to even keep a book in the towel cabinet.

Yeah, I do take my phone sometimes but only if I'm at home and I'm likely to be on the throne for a while.

[ShadOBabe 19,011]

Well it depends on what I’m using the phone for. If I’m just reading messages or surfing the web, then sure. But I never take calls in the bathroom.

[Lucky Bolt 35,085]

I don't think that's any of y'alls business. 

[Fritzy 1,692]

Yeah but still kind of a weird question.

Who's to say I'm not on the toilet on my phone at this very minute?

Only time I ever bring my phone into the bathroom is if I need to listen in to some conversation / Skype call while muted. I'm not one to mess around in the bathroom, id rather get what I need to get done...done, and leave (after washing hands ofc~)

I don't even have a cell phone, and when I did, I never used it in the bathroom because that's just downright stupid and disgusting.

Nope. If I'm in there for more than well, you can figure that out. I don't make calls, but I check the weather, check my emails, text, things like that. I don't like talking to people while sitting in the smallest room though. this is at home though. In a public rest-room...Ew! Too afraid I'll drop it. I don't mean IN the toilet. Public bathrooms have disgusting germs on the floors! I know my bathrooms are clean. I can put the phone down on the sink and play music and such.

Never, not in the restroom, not in the bathroom. Public restrooms might be an exception. Would still be very dumb.

We're having reactions across the board 

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

What the heck is this? Of course I do! I can't even last 2 minutes without internet access.

The only restroom I don't use my ipad in is a public restroom, I mostly have my earphones in all day at home unless I'm baking, taking a shower, or meeting with someone.

Not that I need to(?)

[Treeglow Flicker 13,852]

The only call I make in the bathroom is a call of nature.

[Splashee 28,566]

I'd only bring my cell if I need to keep track of time.

[Envy 6,192]

It's not a guy thing at all. I do it all of the time.

[SharpWit 2,708]

@Bas For me it was mostly Archie, but I have one of those 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Nope. I don't really see the point, I don't spend hours on end in the bathroom, plus, I don't want to get my phone wet or anything. I fI do bring my phone into the bathroom, it spends the entire time in my pocket.

[Phosphor 11,532]

Not anymore. I have a flip phone now.  

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

I used to, but recently I've been trying to waste less time, so now I normally just leave my phone in my room whenever I have to do something around the house.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,315]

If I had access to Rick's toilet, I'd leave my cell-phone at home.

 

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,008]

Yeah, I almost always bring my phone into the restrooms. I'm in there roughly about 2.5x more than the average college student (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and I get bored easily, so to me, taking my phone in with me is basically mandatory.

That said, I appreciate that it's not a very hygienic action to endeavour in, so I'm always sure to wipe it down with antibacterial wipes after I've finished.

Oh my~

Haha, anyways! Going to the restroom is a small break for me, I won't do anything at all, so no phone. I'm literally always doing anything and I totally should do more breaks now and then, but somehow I can't. Going to the restroom is a good way for this. The same with sitting in the waiting room in the doctor's office or similar. It's funny watching 90% of the people with their heads down looking at their phones.

Oh right, shall we not go to the gutter so quick? I usually end up with the automatic sink that sprays water out at a million Miles per hour, causing everything within a five foot radius to get wet. That's what I meant by that.
