no, im too afraid that people will hear something!

vinnyr

that is gross. also, do not use cellphones in the gym. i dont care if you are using hands-free, its annoying.

MFlick

The bathroom is for draining the lizard, or dropping a log, NOT texting, or talking or writing this blog.

Rabid Penguin

I would only use a phone in a bathroom in my own house.

funman895

Well now we know why so many Cells end up in the toilet.

I'm a shitter twitterer.

JiltedCitizen

if the douchebag who makes "business deals" in the can on my floor does it one more time, i am going to start grunting, groaning and making offensive noises. dude, here's a clue: if you refer to it as a "business deal" it probably isn't. go back to selling phones for t-mobile.

Nice video!

@DeathInNovember: But you know, there's something about that bathroom acoustic that gives away that you're talking in a place that is lined with hard ceramic tiling.

Kaiser-Machead's BSDM Shenanigans

I was sitting on the can the other day reading a news paper and thought to myself, "how old skool is this?"

CaptEO2000

The worst is when you're on a loooong phone call and have to pee, so then you're like, crap, they're going to hear the tinkle, so you end up peeing in the sink to keep the noise down.

ill never buy used mobiles or pdas cause of this...

My favorite thing is to have a intimate and romantic conversation with a lady friend, then announcing at the end I drooped a huge deuce in the mists of "I love you." There's a lot of sarcasm in these comments but I assure you, I'm being completely honest lol.

DeathInNovember

text, im, browse, but not talk.

that's just fuckin weird.

I did only once. I was crunched for time and had to make a phone call to help someone out with something.

Yeah, talking on the can is just rude, but I see nothing wrong with getting a quick Internet fix while I'm in there...

Why not? I put it on speaker, put it in my pocket, and go. Only with a select few persons though.

Seriously, guys - talking on the can is plain old rude.

I just did... at work.

Parapraxis

gadgets and bathrooms go hand in hand. what if nobody ever invented motion activated sinks, paper-towel dispensers, toilets, urinals, or even a past gizmodo feature - the dyson airblade and mitsubishi competing models. humans spend a lot of time in the porcelain palace, it's only natural that our expensive investments and forays into technology follow us there.

Zarathustra Studios: Male Restroom Etiquette. Pay special attention to whether or not men should talk in the restroom.

Rabid Penguin

No, I don't. However, other folks in my office building do... all the time. Whenever someone enters the stall next to me on their phone, I am certain to "Courtesy Flush" a few times and also squeeze out as many bodily noises as possible. They LOVE that.

SockMonkey

I'm the guy who flushes the toilet a multitude of times the moment I see an active cell phone conversation in the men's room.

slungsolow

Just don't forget to mute when you flush!

Joseph

@jcrockerman: in which direction?

sos10

I text, email and browse. I tend to avoid talking though.

i didn't realize how many people are doing this. i'm not touching anybody's phone anymore.

Cellphone, DS, AND laptop. why the hell not?

Yes. iPhone + toilet = poo smeared touch screen!

rochec

I don't talk while taking a dump. But I do surf, text...and maybe stream a video while i'm there...

jcrockerman

Only to play a little Golf while I crap. Talking on the can is just rude.

CaptEO2000

@Kaiser-Machead's BSDM Shenanigans: Usually I start yelling, "Oh my fucking rock me sexy jesus h christ on a crapper what in hell died in here. Son (pounding on their stall door) could you please give us all a courtesy flush over here?"

If they're not on the phone and someone's in a stall next to me I just sort of whisper it loud enough for them to hear...

Xavoc

I do not even bring my cell in the bathroom. I leave it teathered to my laptop, but I do bring my food with me.

Spank, the Monkey

I use my jawbone so they don't hear me taking a piss, or dropping the kids off at the pool. I also browse the web and check email, and I sometimes txt.

Sam_Zebian

Next time a guy is talking on his cell in the stall next to you, wipe your ass, then hold the paper under the stall wall and ask, "Does this look healthy to you?"

GeekyNerdGuy

Of frickin' course! I still can't fathom why anyone would read magazine/books in a bathroom when we now have the entire internet in our pockets ala Web-Capable phones. Well, unless of course you're poor...

Anyway, In my case... I have an iPhone and use it all the time when I take teh dumpz at work. Shitting without it is like... well, torture.

At home however... I play my DS. Super Mario 64 while unloading is pure bliss.

SkoGoody

No gadgets at all at work. The only time I would ever consider bringing the phone in is at home, and only in an extreme emergency - but 99% of the time I'll hang up and call them back.

Geisrud

@VirreVojj: I don't know about where you're from, but where I was raised they teach us not to crap on our hands when going to the restroom.

If you use the phone, and put it away, prior to wiping, and wash your hands like a good boy when leaving the restroom, where's the issue?

Besides, I just rent a room at the Extended Stay and send the cute blond in to like the toilet clean before using me phone while on the throne.

Xavoc

This begs the question of hygiene...

Pressure

Better not shake anyone's hand ever again, or touch a doorknob for that matter. Actually it'd probably be best to never leave the house if you're afraid to borrow a cell phone after realizing it might have been in a bathroom. What do you people do, check it with the doorman before entering? It's not like people are using them to wipe!

Barth

i'm having flashbacks to that Seinfeld episode when George takes a book into the john and the store won't take it back..

Only in my own, private bathroom, and only with close friends. My friend Cortney did it to me a while back without me noticing, she said she was a new type of Ninja; a "Ninja Pisser."

KarinDiscoGirl

I browse the net, use apps, and send texts. I don't make calls though; kinda hard to explain the rumblings and... ploppings in the background.

Sqube

@lostarchitect: Sort of strange but amusing to admit, I've done this. Guy was talking to his associate or something on the phone in the next stall, and I just came back from my lunch break. No one can complain, since this is a place of "business" lol

Kaiser-Machead's BSDM Shenanigans

So does the CFO of my company, he's not afraid to flush with the client on the line either...

I just play some brick breaker on my BB while I lay bricks. And I may respond to a sms if its really important. Its just easier to lay one out when your not thinking about it.

since my GF despises my Iphone 3g (she is jealous of it) the toilet is the only place i can safely browse, play games, and use the apps on it w/o risking her throwing my Iphone across the room.

mcjake

@rochec: Poo smeared touchscreen? Good lord, man! You're doing it all wrong! In my several decades of defecation, I think I can count the times I've had poo on my fingers on one hand (as in the number of time is less than five, not that I get poo on one hand and not the other). I mean, "breakthroughs" happen...but they are very rare. At least for most of us...

I'll admit to spending a good deal of time on the can playing Mahjong or iSolitaire, but never, ever talking to anyone in there. Well, at work anyway. I suppose my Lovely Wife has been subject to a couple of home-based toilet conversations over the years (it's not my fault she has really bad timing when she calls). I swear, only with her do I cross that line! Oh, and I always put it back in my pocket before I..you know...finish up. It doesn't get touched again until after my hands are well washed!

I don't see what's gross about using a device like that when you're sitting there. I mean, it's not like you've already touched anything else that could transfer poo to your phone (again, unless you're really doing it wrong!)

dwarfgoat

Hell no.

iSmithx

I text in the bathroom at work, only because I can't out on the floor. But never on the toilet. And never ever will I talk, to some one on the otherside of the door, even. It's disgusting.

xzenkx

@Bittermormon: You shouldn't be grunting unless you want to end up with a hemorrhoid. ;-)

Sean Robertson

WTF would be "other"? wiping?

tcarreon

It's disgusting to see how many people use their cellphone in some way on the toilet. I'm never going to use someone else's laptot or cellphone again. Yuck!

VirreVojj

....what else am I going to play with while on the toilet?

JEmlay

If I'm talking to you and hear a toilet flushing in the background from your cell, you'd better expect me to give you hell. That is rude both to the person on the other end and to everyone trapped in the bathroom with you.

Sean Robertson

I play Peggle while I poo. I find the bouncing ball help me regulate my self.

saivior

I usually don't.
Toilet time and bath are both good chances to have ideas and think more thoroughly about certain things... using a cellphone during these events would ruin my creativity. :P

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

I chose other because while I will browse the net or read my emails on the can, I'm OCD enough to make sure that the hand that handles my naughty bits does not come into contact with my phone (and vice versa).

Life's too short to just sit on the can and stare mindlessly at the scribblings of rascist, homophobic, and insecure madmen on the stall walls and doors.

That's what they invented wikipedia for.

TendoMentis

grrrrunt...oh...no...I'm just opening a jar of pickles

Bittermormon

reading a paper or a magazine while laying cable has been perfectly acceptable for decades. This is just a new media, same cable.

shamusjack

do i want to know what "other" is?

Sunlokyee

So glad this came up.

Audible keys in public toilets are the only reason I returned my Moto Q9h and the only/main reason I never used the BlackJack II that replaced it and went back to my Nokia E61i and Treo 750. I am not kidding.

Razor1973

Talking on the phone while in the bathroom is rude, though I do make exceptions for my close friends as we give each other plenty of shit anyway (pun intended). Anything else is fair game.

I actually had a conversation with my boss just the other day when he called me while I was in the bathroom, then walked over to find out if I was in just as I was exiting. He told me that he would answer on the toilet, I told him that's because he is rude.

yanni85

@GeekyNerdGuy: Bloody corn is never healthy.

Gann

Browse the internet and listen to music w/ my iPod Touch. However, I don't make phone calls when duty calls. It's even worse when you talk to someone and can hear diarrhea sounds on their end.

thecodingeye

Ok. I am completely fine with using my cellphone/laptop to browse the internet. It is a bit weird to IM/Text but since no sound is transmitted that is also fine. But calling while on the can? come on people, that is just weird.

Gary Katsevman

Apps on the pot are great. As for cross-contamination, phone goes in pocket before the wiping, comes out after the hand-washing.

@Rabid Penguin: As for the urinal rules, I'm always confused with the short urinal (shortie). First guy of course takes the one furthest from the shortie, but does second guy take the shortie, or the one next to it?

Gann

I won't make phone calls while crapping in a "professional capacity", i.e. I won't call my boss or any of my co-workers/clients/support personnel while crapping.

But my friends, hell yeah, and if they call ME and I happen to be on the can, I will occasionally grunt just to let'em know...

bpapa9013

@craighyatt: This book has been flagged!

Xavoc

I text once in a while, but usually only while I'm at work, and when that happens, I went to the bathroom to get away from the idiots I work with specifically to respond to a text... Email, web, etc. I can do from my desk with no problem, but people get upset if you're using your phone. (wtf?)

The Amazing Ant

Never #2, never in public. If I have to pee and I am on the phone if the other party hears I tell them I am adding water to my aquarium.

@Spank, the Monkey: Bring food with! ewwwwww.

Elijah86

may sound odd... but i have a friend that texts me every time he takes a shit and brags about how extraordinary it is. they're lovely texts indeed

for instance:

"I'm currently making a deposit to the Bank of Deuce Nastiness"

wolfenstein-3d

I text, email, and browse the web. I rarely talk but when I do its usually just a quick piss. Nothing ruder than dropping an audible deuce while having a conversation.

spimoles

@Gann: Ignore the shortie, but always make sure to keep at least one empty urinal between you and the guy next to you. If you have to use the shortie in order to obey the every-other-urinal rule then use the shortie or an empty stall.

Rabid Penguin

I only browse ratemypoo.com on the bowl...gives me inspiration.

rxe7en

Why the hell would you want to talk on the phone while making a doody?

Anyway, this reminds me of a story: a friend was taking an exam in a very large lecture hall during college. Because the hall is so big, any professor must use a microphone to talk to his students. Most wear a wireless mic. In the middle of my friend's exam, her professor decided to duck out of the hall to use the restroom, but unknowingly left his wireless mic that he was STILL WEARING on. Needless to say, his students quickly discovered why he had to leave the lecture hall :P

dangster

Making calls on your cellphone while on the can doesn't appeal to me.

*Plop, plop, plop FLLLLUUUUUSSSSHHH* is something that would confuse even my friends if they heard it over the phone.
Text messaging is fine though.

Eruanno

Thank your lucky stars I can't attach a photo from my iPhone.

dingus

I do use my phone for texting on the toilet. and I never tell where its been.
my last phone fell into the toilet, that was even harder to not tell to people (usually explain it afterwards)

simmo

No way, that's nasty!

Besides, that's what your Nintendo DS is for.

dry-roasted-peanuts

I rarely talk on the can. Only if it's a friend/family, and I know the call will be quick(i.e. finish before I'm fnished) and even then, I wait until the call is done to flush. If I need to piss during a long call, then I'll tell the person to hold on, do my business, wash hands, get out of the restroom, then resume the call.

But yeah, Apps/Games/Text in the can all the time. Either iPhone or DS. Like most are saying, it's just new media.

Oh yeah, my little cousin dropped his DS in the toilet while he was taking a crap one time. My aunt called me to ask if there was any way to fix it(cause it wasn't turning on) and I just burst into laughter on the phone. It made my day.

Dj75728

oh yea, aside from the obligatory stock check, news, and the occasional text msg while "dropping the kids off at the pool" I must say that I got 1M+ points on Trism (iPhone 3G) yesterday while clogging up one of the only bathrooms in the building! Damn its been a slow news day hunh?

MrBlonde29

@Gann: The "Shortie" is actually for the well endowed that hang lower than the rest. You don't want your junk dangling in urinal water.

Xavoc

I find bringing anything other than what's necessary into the head to be disrespectful and unsanitary. Unless it's deadly urgent, there is NO reason to be defiling electronics in the toilet.
Maybe I'm regular. Still.. No phones in the can!

Bonkuro

No, but I have forgotten I had it on in the belt clip and dropped it in the toilet (clean water). Twice.

Curves

The thunder-mug is definitely a no-talk zone. It is the only place in the office where I can be free of users and relax. I usually use it as an opportunity to catch up on voicemail, solitaire, or texts, but draw the line when I have to make any sort of non-grunting noises. The urinal is a no-phone zone, period. You can usually pop a squat no handed, until the final stage, but draining one's lizard is much more hands on. Even with a headset, there is still a no talking policy. Folks who come in discussing plans for lunch just ruin the peaceful solidarity of any download.

That said, there are a stack of folks in my office, mostly upper management, who feel that the stalls are the best place to argue with their spouse, discuss investments with their clients, or schedule a round of golf. I've heard everything from fart-n-go, to the most extreme non stop assplosion occur while the culprit chats away as if they were in a closed-door meeting.

"Well let me tell you Bob, *BRRrrrrRRrrttt* I think that you might *Ptthhhhbbbbbb* find *Splat* that *grunt* the depreciation of your *Splaaaaaattt* assets outweighs..."

CpuZapper

even if you don't use your phone while on the toilet, cell phones are among the dirtiest things that people own so you shouldn't be touching other people's phones anyways

Calling on the thrown is just wrong. Now surfing the internet or responding to text or email? GUILTY AS CHARGED!

nice use of allusion. prior giz references deserve a +1

I don't do it, but when you think about it, most people never clean their phones but still take and handle it everywhere else. So every germ, piece of dirt, or bad odor is on the thing.

mferrari

i try hard not to, but my brother always calls me when i'm in a restroom. once i had to text him to ask a store employee to get some toilet paper as i had none to clean up after my explosive diarrhea

freddyg

My gf routinely pees & flushes whilst talking to me on the phone. She thinks its hilarious.

Jackhole

what does other involve?

imaginaryplaya'

@Rabid Penguin: Disagree. I prefer the shorty because it makes for less turbulent splashback when you have a steeper stream angle. Less drain aroma, too. My preference is the full-length fixture, with the drain below floor level, but you don't see them much anymore. I've always said that if I ever have the chance to design and build my dream house, I'll be putting a full-length in every bathroom, and a bidet, too. Better to wash, imho, than to smear oneself with paper. Sadly, I only have that option at home.

ninjagin

I'm in constant need of entertainment, so i usually end up firing up the ds, even when I pee sometimes, which can lead to me playing Warioware touched with my pants down five minutes after the last drip drops.

Ahh, the things i'll tell the internet

branchclarke

The best use of an office stall, a nice clean one, is to catch up on some Z's while getting zen enough to drop you deuces. Thus, for me, phones and magazines alike are a no-go.

Antioch18

If you use your cellphone while in the toilet, don't forget to wipe your ass with it.

sos10

hell i do take my laptop, psp and other forms of entertainment to the toilet with me as well. psp on the can is the best. especially when you're on hot shots golf, it could ultimately determine how much of a load i'm dropping off too.

acekrn

my friends always wondered what those splash sound effects were while i was dropping the children off at the pool

acekrn

I think a lot of posters here aren't eating enough fiber. I don't spend long enough in the bathroom to bother w/ magazine/computer/phone. I never understood the whole magazine thing anyways. There is also an interesting debate as to whether or not the western style cause hemorrhoids vs. the Asian squat toilet. [www.uow.edu.au]
I don't know, I don't have'em.

jkr2

I don't have reception in the bathroom (it's virtually underground, as my house is in a hillside situation). Otherwise I would.

hanswurst0815

Recipe for using cellphone on the can (if you're a dude, otherwise it's a no brainer), and remain clean.

1) Have celly in pocket
2) drop trow, and plop a deuce (was that too graphic?)
3) for those of us with small wangs (myself included) hold junk with LEFT hand so you don't piss all over the stall or bathroom
4) grab celly with RIGHT hand, and operate
5) when done replace celly in pocket
6) wipeth
7) pull up trow
8) wash the hands
9) vacate the premises

Any time I walk into a public restroom and hear some idiot talking on the phone, I go flush the nearest toilet repeatedly.

@CpuZapper: Just like the scene from "The Naked Gun" with the wireless microphone...

infmom

No! Ack!

WTF is it with people?

DisposableInterloper

My old roommate used to talk on his cell phone while dropping a deuce. Worst part was he'd usually finish up before finishing his conversation, and rather than flush he'd leave the gift for others to find.

ejl10

I play my PSP in the toilet, I (prank) call people in the toilet, and there was this one time I was playing Counter-Strike in the toilet. So I'm a big Toilet/Gadeget nut.

michaelleung

Really there is nothing gross about using your cell phone on the throne. There are more germs on door handles than toilet seats and I bet people dont make a fuss over people touching those while talking. Also, who actually gets sh*t on their hands? Are you people SERIOUS? Its called tactics people.

I dont talk while Im taking a sh*t but I might if Im just draining the lizard, depends on who it is and how drunk I am. I also sometimes take my laptop into the bathroom with me if Im in the middle of an awesome game and hear nature calling, no harm no foul.

pevans34

This post has gotten me wondering...

..how often do you people clean your phone?

For example, I wipe down my iphone every few days (helps get the oil smudges off) otherwise I can FEEL the grime on it....ewwwww

melikespi

I use my iphone/ipod touch on the can - I get bored. I don't shit on my hands, and I never call people from the toilet.

And at home, back in the day I was guilty of playing Age of Empires or Total Annihilation on my laptop in the bathroom. Hey, when you have been playing a game for 4 hours, and leaving for 15 minutes would cause you to lose.. you bring it with you!

shockwaver

I actually listen to podcasts while on the crapper.

AJ_Syrinx

I think my sentiments have been covered by everyone else, but:
If you're worried about poo on your phone, don't use it to wipe your ass!

There's nothing remotely gross about texting or checking your email on the loo. I'd be more worried about your shirt or pants, as they're exposed to more toilet stuff than your phone is!

reckless_inoz

@rochec: You shit on your hands when you go to the toilet?

Dude.... time for some potty training.

jbang

This isnt news - mobile companies have done studies on location usage for over 10 years and the bathroom has always been the #1 location for data use overall.

I thought this was common knowledge.

brundlefly76

@ninjagin: ... I don't really spend enough time in the bathroom to really give it that kind of thought. You're in and you're out, that's how it's done.

Rabid Penguin

isn't this kind of like asking people if they use their computer for porn? The real answer is, "who doesn't?"

Scrum

Multiplayer online Tetris!

UrbanDEV

What do you do when your phone rings, while you're on the can?

I respond and tell that I'm in a place where I prefer to be alone, and call back when the "business" is done.

Besides that I always play java-games, I can hardly imagine sitting there without a game...

donfun

Do I use a cel phone in the bathroom? Don't be silly! Toilet paper is much more suited to that task...

Purple Dave

I guess some people are worried about germs? Well, news flash. Your ass, thighs, toilet or other toilet surroundings are not filthy. Your hands are filthy. The sane thing would actually be to wash your hands before you touch your dick. Normal public toilets are clean enough to pass as restaurant cutting boards, no bullshit!

Tapping your phone with your hand, and then putting it to your face is dissgusting, your´r just used to it, and you haven´t died from it yet;)

Mr500

Same here - but while it was held between shoulder and ear whilst trying to haul up the pants. Whoops! Plop! Call ya later.

robbo

Never, but that said I always surf the net on my laptop in the bathroom. I mean really how do you expect me to pass the time ... actually, don't answer that.

It's the only time I have to challenge my top score on Brick Breaker

txtanner88

I actually went to a metal show yesterday and had the uncontrollable urge to drop a deuce, so i scoped around and found the nicest stall, lined it with TP and took a seat.

I organized my pictures, viewed all my recorded videos, sent a text and listened to a band perform through the bathroom walls (singing along). 'twas a good session. especially since it as a double-dump. the kind where you finish up, flush, have the need to sit down some more, and you end up having another session.

SleepingMartyr

I play Sudoku, text and browse the net on my phone whilst on the john, but never make or answer any calls.

I had a friend who at his work used to take pictures using his phone, of the adjoining cubicle user's shoes and play guess the co-worker!
Unfortunately, I can't turn off the shutter sound.

jonnyollet

I don't usually carry my phone with me to the bathroom unless i'm already on it and i have to go. But, yeah, i've been active in chats and been in the shower at the same time. odd thing that.

Atriel

the contra of this is that you end up spending a lot more time in the can than you actually need :P

Macdelaney

My old roommate used to talk while on the can all the time. He also used to forget to flush since he didn't want the other person on the phone to know he was taking a massive dump. So I walked into the bathroom on a few occasions to find his, uhm, deposit, just hanging out waiting to be let free.

Gross.

kpburke

only to take calls from my best friend in another state.

ryusen

I get really annoyed at work when someone is in the restroom talking about nothing at the top of their lungs. From the looks other people give too, it obviously makes everyone trying "to go" uncomfortable. Amazing that the flushing and farting doesn't ever bother the person talking or the person on the other end.

And what's up with getting louder when you speak in a foreign language? just 'cause I can't understand you doesn't mean you're not fucking annoying, and now you're louder so you're more fucking annoying.

Zlevee

I don't do the two in public. My digestive track has GPS and has rarely let me down. I went to NYC for six days a few years ago, and I didn't have to sit down in the next room for four days. I wasn't constipated; I just didn't have the urge; that's after consuming Indian, Thai, pizza, beer, etc. After three days, I warned my friend that he'd wake up find me in a shit cocoon with something terrible lurking inside.

As for home, absolutely. All of it. A lot of you act like you have no control over your daily soundtrack, or that you actually bring it to light the entire time you're there. It's all about control. If I have to call somebody, I'll close shop for as long as it takes.

NetWeight

You forgot to include the camera phone on the survey! With an iphone, and my soon to be released iLog (Cr)App, you too can catalog your every poo, complete with geo-tagging and automatic updates to your facebook account. What, like it's any worse than the other crap posted there now? What better way to remember that trip to Cabo, when you forgot to tell them not to put ice in your coke?

I love the fact that you used a photo of former Tennessee State Senator John Ford and his lawyer coming out of the Federal Building in downtown Memphis. I think John Ford should be more concerned with his own ass where he is going.... Federal (pound-me-in-the-ass) Prison.

There have been a few times I have heard people talking while on the crapper. Usually, I will just yell, "That's a bleeder!" Or,"That's gonna leave a mark!" I've also made sure to flush while they were still talking.
