Time for a Off Topix survey for both our male and female members! :lol:/>
A quarter of men admit to sitting down on the toilet to urinate so they can have both hands free to use their mobile phones, a survey has claimed.The survey just happens to have been commissioned by companies that want to sell you a water-resistant smartphone.Three quarters of people of both sexes polled said they used their phone while on the toilet, and half said they took their handset with them when they had a bath.The survey found that 59 per cent of people admit to texting while on the toilet and 45 per cent to sending emails.Almost a third (31 per cent) admitted they had taken a mobile phone call and nearly a quarter (24 per cent) said they had made a call while on the toilet, according to the poll by Sony and O2.The companies are now launching a water-resistant Xperia Z handset after the survey found 15 per cent of the 2,000 people surveyed admitted they had dropped their mobile phone down the toilet.

I have answered the phone when on the toilet, but have not made a call.

Thank you and I have added that as a poll option.
 
Yes to the first and no to the rest. Though I have answered calls from people [cough]mydad[/cough] who were on the toilet. And the worst thing is that he doesn't pretend he's not on the loo. He outright announces it....

Wut.

I'll be talking to him and then he'll go oh by the way I'm on the toilet and then continue with the conversation from before.

Next time when he says that, just say so am I.
 
OK. True story time.



Once upon a time we were up at one of those I hate the damned place but there's really no better option store when I stopped the proceedings and ventured into the 'water closet' to take care of some work.



I was there, doing my business, listening to all this beeping and blooping and clicking from a stall. And it was still going on when I was washing my hands on my way out.



The only thing I could figure was that whoever was in the stall was playing some sort of game on their phone.



More than likely, it was an employee given the general level of customer service in the place.



Oh well.



But maybe, they'd be better off with the sound off next time.
 
@Doc: Thank you as I needed a good laugh!

I answered no to all questions.

I wouldn't talk to someone while Im on the toilet but I have done things that involve typing.



I used to have the bad habit of putting my phone in my front work shirt pocket and whenever I'd lean forward to flush, I'd be at risk of dropping it in there. It happened a couple times.
