What do YOU do while you're on the toilet?

I read this on another forum and thought it might be interesting to start it here. One guy said he beatboxes... another likes to drink tea. And I just realized that I actually have the ingredients and directions memorized off my toothpaste tube, in English and in French!

So what does everyone do?

I read reference books.  (Yes I'm a nerd, and I'm proud of it.)

I play my Nintendo DS...Mario Kart!! :)

drink tea and take a number 2? Ew. 

sit there...and stare out the window

Well everytime i go to the toilet, my cat comes to see me... and wants to be cuddled.. weird cat this is,... she will jump onto my lap and just sit there so i can cuddle her eheheh...

Or i play sudoku, or as i am in asia we have a water spray next to the toilet and i hose down the floor... I brush my teeth as well ...

I read and/or watch my cats if they run in before me.

Why would anyone drink tea and go to the bathroom at the same time?! O_O

You have too much time on your ass....literally. 

 

I sit there and pout for sitting on such a hard stool.

And then wonder how much weight I've lost pooping.

BTW... I read my toothpaste in French, I haven't read it in English yet. I'll have to do that next time.  Je me lave mes dents. :-P

I read ingredients on various things.  I do my business in less than two minutes and can't see opening a book, reading a few sentences, and then setting it down.

Usually we have some form of new product in and out of there and I'll read the ingredients in English, French, and Spanish as well as sign them out (I use sign language at times) and read them backwards in all languages.

If something goes wrong and I'm there a while, I'll call someone to keep me company.  My mom usually answers her phone.

I pretend I'm Queen Elizebeth on my amazing throne.

(lol not really :P)

One of my cats will come in and want to be cuddled.  I have been known to take a calculator in the loo with me and sometimes the mail.

hmm, let's see, I'm either 1) peeing, or 2) pooping...

yeah, i'm not there long enough to need a secondary activity.

Same as PG and always found it curious that folks would even have 'waiting' time. 

ha yeah, im never there long enough either. i just wanna be in and out :/

my cats like to come up to me though as well. one will go in the litter box at the same time....or try to get inside my pants that are wrapped around my ankles.

Crosswords. I keep a small book of crossword puzzles on the counter. Doesn't take long.. 1 or 2 clues and I'm off.

Read.

I do one of many things or more than one thing at a time.

First of all, I do my business. Because no one in my house can survive for five minutes without needing something, I am normally yelling at them to get out of the bathroom or kissing a boo-boo or telling my husband I don't know where he left his right shoe, did he check in the living room closet?

On the rare occasion that I am not bothered during this intimate time, I sit there in silence and enjoy it. :)

My motto is get in and get out. No time for reading or playing games.

I'm in and out pretty quickly.  We do have a stack of comic books for my husband who likes to take his time, though.
