Oh, they know... they're just too embarassed to say...

*restrains herself from posting a picture of Picky on the toilet using his laptop*

At the moment I cannot do anything other than concentrate on doing what I am there for and not passing out/dying mid way through

I have been known to take a newspaper or my focus magazine though - generally before I jump in the bath so I can take it in there too and read. Played on my DS too whilst using the toilet. And called people to talk to them.

I call people where ever I am. I think a few BDers have had me on the phone to them whilst I'm in a bubble bath

So no... it's not just a man thing. But men do seem to take longer and are smellier so imo need more distraction to keep them happy

Definitely! It's the perfect time of solitude, just sit there, read a paper, or a book, with no distractions. Especially at work

In fact, sometimes at work if its *really* hectic, phone calls flying about, deadlines etc, I'll take 5 minutes out, just go sit in the cubicle and chill for a bit, helps to just get out of the work environment

NokkonWud · 10-10-2008, 14:15

Yeah, imagine having work as a distraction! Just not my bag.

Not normally for loo visits but always take a book into the bath with me

I'll text people when I'm in the bath too

It's been know for me to take the laptop in the bath to catch up on email and stuff. I got the position all worked out so even if it does slip it will fall on the floor rather than in the bath

It's a judgement call for me. Depending on what else I have to do at the time, I'll take nothing, or a book, or a laptop... whatever. I used to have an en suite bathroom with a mirror on the door. If the door was half open I could see the TV in the bedroom.

I never got around to seeing if I could invert the horizontal axis on my 360 controller...

Nothing better than to get a new copy of PC Zone, or Gamer TM and have a long sit eeking out as slow as you can to get maximum enjoyment.

My bogs full of books and magazines, but nothing beats a new gaming mag and a full tummy, i probably prefer it to sex.

I normally have a book in the bathroom that stays there. I have been known to spend 15 minutes on the loo due to being absorbed in reading.

I play solitaire on my phone, got it down to a fine art, and normally finish a game in around 80 seconds.
