If you have that much time on the toilet, your diet is not exactly right. You also have a higher probability for hemorrhoids when you sit in a "western civilization" donut seat and put that much pressure on the muscles in that area.
My wife says that since most Japanese homes only have one toilet, reading and pooping would not be welcome. I tell her it's the most comfortable seat in the house...I've read more books on the toilet last year than most normal people read period. She thought I had bowel problems!
If I poop, there's just no way I can read anything, knowing that I have poop stuck to my butt that needs to be wiped off. And If I just wiped, I have no desire to hang around in the bathroom to read - I'd rather read somewhere else.
Speaking of this illustrious subject, I just had to "improvise" after running out of toilet paper.....
Read? I take my laptop in there with me and surf the Internet.....really. I've made many a post on ClutchFans while killing some squirrels.
LOL...yeah, I'm a big ingredients reader...hell, just trying to pronounce some of them is a challenge. (probably not a good idea considering I'm there trying to focus on something else!)
Wait, what? My family's from Arkansas, and I've never heard that euphemism. I always keep a short story book by the toilet for this very purpose. It's a perfect spot to read, but I don't want to get wrapped up and stay there. It puts my legs to sleep.
Well, I do it before not after as I don't think that's right...Only do this when I'm at home...HOwever, I don't understand people that do this at work...Take work papers, etc and then go back to work with contaminated papers...
You should include an option for those that reading during the poop itself and afterwards. I'll read anything from bottles in the bathroom to some quick 1-2 page articles that I've printed out. "One must always expand the mind, even on the toilet" - 2Pac
I'm super interested in reading while pooping for some reason I walk around looking for something to read before I go in. Sometimes I hold it until I have found something new to read and sometimes that doesn't workout...I've read through the instructional booklet for Gears of War about 26 times on the toilet. Oh, ok active reload...as if I don't play all the time Oddly enough this thirst for knowledge ends as soon as the Browns are off the team bus.
Definitly surf the web during............and Play some music while im on the toilet so people dont hear the "ploop" sound........
