What are you reading on the toilet?

I usually spend my time catching up on Wired, though sometimes I’ll bring my laptop along just to sink a few rounds of a game into 😁
it's honestly a nightmare

Product labels, in every language I actually understand🙄🙄

I’ll put some relaxing music on my phone—just at a low enough volume to hear it in the background—while I read... though sometimes I find myself distracted by the shampoos or toothpaste and other products, scanning the labels for harmful ingredients and their actual percentages 🙂

Right, because I clearly speak Bulgarian and Mexican too...🙂

And you? You're right along with that bullshit. 😁

slywolf45 said:Old TV shows.
Or labels on shampoo bottles, body lotion, pads.
Whatever's within arm's reach.

...all that, plus books (they actually give me some decent drama).🤣)

nobody's actually reading those smutty magazines😕

I don't really feel the need to read, even if I happen to glance at an article or two here and there...
...but honestly, newspapers or anything else would just keep me stuck in the bathroom even longer when you
really get sucked into reading 😁

Yeah, my legs are going numb from sitting here so long 🤣

Not really a bathroom reader ☕

I used to spend my time scrolling through endless piles of Dylan Dog comics and Alan Ford graphic novels just to pass the time in the restroom, but I’ve certainly modernized my habits since then; nowadays, I either lug my laptop around—which I carry to Raymond Campbell35, though having reliable Wi-Fi means I can just deal with the inevitable glitch 😁—or I find myself endlessly scrolling through my iPhone.

🤣🤣🤣

I don't read 🤷

If I actually sat down to read, I’d forget I was sitting on the toilet and end up staying in there way longer than necessary 😕

I can't exactly multitask my way through self-pleasure and heavy reading at the same time🤷

Raymond Campbell35 said:Most of them just sit there reading endless ads for deodorant, perfume, or shampoo...

If I’m not reading that junk, I’m picking at the metal toilet paper holder, shredding the rolls into tiny pieces, or using nail clippers to hack away at the paper. I fiddle with my lighter (doing Zippo tricks 😁), mess around with my phone, or occasionally prank someone with a text like, "Hey... just taking a dump and thought of you" 😁.

My current plan is to set up some high-speed Wi-Fi in my apartment so I can lug my laptop around and surf the web while I'm on the throne. 🙏

Good grief, what an infuriating idea...😁

I could probably mount a small LCD on the opposite wall and hook up a decent surround sound system...🤣

Great. Just discovered another hidden talent of mine.🤣

We honestly need to start a dedicated thread where people are only allowed to post if they're currently sitting on the toilet. 😲

I guess I'll be getting mine set up soon too, once I finally find a spare moment to mess around with my network settings. 😛

Yeah? Well, personally, I’d just bring a bucket into my room. Can't lug everything all the way to the bathroom every single time. 😁

I can knock this out in less than a minute 🤷.

Watch out for any sharp edges. 🙂

It’s even worse when you’re a guest and things start getting tense. You’re stuck there with nothing but Leo Tolstoy, War, and peace to keep you company.
