Where's the "Andy has waaaaay too much spare time on his hands: Yes/No" question? :)

Blech

Mo is going to enjoy this poll when she comes home.

I probably would if I'd ever had internet capacity in the bathroom. ;)

no no no no NO NO NO NO NOOOO

[holyoutlaw.livejournal.com]

If I had a netbook or similarly small computer, all my "Nos" would have been "Yeses". Hah!

[anton-p-nym.livejournal.com]

The only reason I answered "no" to the first question is that I'm usually a "one-book-at-a-time" reader of printed material, so any reading on, er, "personal time" would consist of whatever literary work is in progress at the time.

You need a button for 'In no circumstances.' Really, sir, one has standards... :-)

Reading while in the smallest room - particularly when it's the only smallest room in the dwelling, and when there are other people in the dwelling who might want to use that room - are reserved a special place in Hell stuck behind all the people who stand on the left on public escalators*


*unless they're Japanese. Then it's forgivable.

I don't remember specifically having posted to LJ or FB or whatever while on the loo, but that doesn't mean I haven't, necessarily.

My ideal shower would have a water proof touch screen monitor in it linked from a terminal server so I could access the internet, music and tv while I was relaxing in it. Toilet, less of a priority.

[a-pawson.livejournal.com]

I'm curious. How much time do people generaslly spend in the bathroom (not in the shower etc.) that would necessitate a supply of reading material?

[cybik.livejournal.com]

I would never have a bathroom with books in because I care about my books. Mildew makes sana sad. Toilet would be fine. And yes, I know reading matter doesn't have to be books, but I don't have a huge amount of non-book reading material..

Also, I have dropped my phone into a sink before. It'd be worse if it fell in the loo because then I'd have to bleach it.. Doing the same with a laptop? Nah.

How is anyone taking that long to toilet themselves? it's a thirty second job at most!

So, you're a Twitter shitter?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I often take a book into the bathroom, but it would feel strange to have a collection of reading matter near the toilet (because it would feel irrationally icky) or near the bath (because it would feel like it was going to become damp and shrivelled).

Was there any discernible differences between genders? I have always assumed reading on the loo was a bit of a bloke thing!

[davidcook.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this poll, I now know just who not to lend my books (and/or Internet-capable portable devices) to :-)
(I was a four-"No" person, in case it wasn't obvious ... )

I mostly take my own book into the toilet. I quite miss having a decent supply of reading in there, but there just isn't space for it in my current bathroom - though there are a couple of Dan Browns on a rather hard-to-reach shelf. 'Emergency toilet paper', according to my flatmate.
