This forum topic was actually something I thought of while taking an ex-lax induced poo [just now, and god did my stomach hurt]?

For long ones back in the day when the lap top was here I'd put it on a stool across from me and find something long to read. Usually if I had a book or magazine handy I'd read that.

Today... I felt the bathroom getting really hot so I stripped and made my poo.

Most of the time I think about things going on in my life.

I tend to go pretty frequently (at least 3 times a day), so I don't really have time to read on the can!

And by that I mean that I go often so that each time I do go, it's usually only for a couple of minutes, max.

i just go... if i have my phone i might just look on facebook or bloop to see if i gotten new comments... i dont really take a long time in the bathroom i do what i gotta do then get out... lol

if i cannot go and know i will go a lil later i get out then wait till i gotta go again

it never takes me but a minute or two - so I just do my thing, and get out, lol

Depends on if I'm sick or not. If I'm sick I grab a book (if I'm reading one at the time) or I'll grab a magazine.
I actually keep all of my old magazines in my bathroom. (I know odd place lol. But I have a lot of extra space in there, so they're in a box in a corner.)

Otherwise I pretty much just do my thing and get outta there. Not really a fan of sitting on a toilet when I could be sitting someplace more comfortable.

Read or text random family members. If it's my sister I tell her "Hey I'm in the bathroom taking a crap." She tells me I'm disgusting and we go from there.

lol Tami

If its apparent its gonna be awhile I take my book or if I have nothing to read I watch TV. I can see my TV from my toilet lol

i read bloop, text, read US mobile, or read a magazine.

i have a few books on my phone that i downloaded that i read.
i text people.
sometimes i call my mom and don't tell her until i'm done and she freaks out.. that's always a good time, haha.

Ugh, I can't even tell you how many times my father has called me from the toilet. It's so disturbing.

MY MOM DOES THAT! lol, she wouldnt flush she waits till the phone call is over THEN flush... it bugs my dad lol

I have a Nintendo DS sitting on the tank. :)

We have a basket of books next to the toilet. Sometimes I use my phone and read FML on it but I have always been a book on the can kid. It is actually one of my favorite places to read.

I'm not in there long enough to use a book...I poop more than once a day, so I just do it and go. If there's a book that I'm really into that I'm reading and suddenly I need to go, I'll take it in there, but nothing more than that normally lol.

I'm usually in and out. Unless I am sick, then I take a book.

I'm the kind of person that cant poo unless i'm in my own house. I also am the farthest thing from a morning person, so i drink a lot of coffee in the am. By noon i have to poop really bad, but if i say screw it and try and go at school..i'll sit down and nothing happens, i cant. So usually by the time i get home i've got some SERIOUS pooing to do, and i'm in there for a little while. Awesome for me, my bathroom is pretty small, and my sink countertop is right across from the toilet. So i just kick off my shoes, put my feet up and poop. It's pretty rad. If you ever get the chance to poop with your feet up, i highly recommend it. Sometimes i bring magazines. Sometimes i just hang out and poo.

I always read. It's something my whole family have done. My ex used to find it really weird but it's the height of normality for me!

I get in and out of the toilet as quick as i can. I hate sitting in there!

I do some Sudoku puzzles or text people if I am going to be in there a while! :-D

well it depends my mood like if im sick i bring a nancy drew book if my stomache hurts i bring a magazine if i just ned to go i bring my nintendo ds

Today my tummy was bothering me so I knew it was going to be a long toilet visit.

Since I'm in the middle of planning my wedding I took my laptop with me :) lol

Rigt now, I'm reading Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin, Founding Brothers by Joseph J. ellis, and American Heroes by Oliver North.

Tsk Tsk. As a British person, I feel its my duty to inform you all that it simply isn't done to discuss ones bowel movements in public. Shame on you all!

But as you asked so nicely... I generally smoke a cigarette.

I feel like such a bad person, but the blatant comma splice in the title of this forum makes me sad. =(

In response to the question: If I can tell that it's going to be a while, I take in a book.
If I'm at work, I feel weird taking a book with me, so I take in my iPod touch and I play games on there.
