Women are from Venus - men just watch telly on the loo.

when I go over the OH house, I end up reading shampoo bottle on the loo cause I forget to take my own reading material. It's a habit I've got into but does occasionally lead to me sitting there for too long and people start shouting for me to get out.

Im a man & I read in the loo. Sounds like the opening sentence in an AA session.

Maybe we should use a name like "Loo anonymous"

What's the problem?

I hate going to the loo without soemthing to read....for some reason I just don't feel as though as I have had a full 'experience' without a good read....lol.
Often I have to search for something to take in with me.....even DDs teen mags and wifeys Hello etc have come to the rescue!!!?!!!?!

I'm never there long enough and wouldn't do it either way. I find the idea pretty unpleasant. I'm male. I suggest that some people's diets or health conditions mandate a longer time spent, enabling reading. For me, it's almost always over in less than two minutes, start to finish :beer:

Can't say I do, but we have a sign in our downstairs loo if anyone wants to do any reading which says " Guys, stand closer - it may be shorter than you think":)

I'm female & have read on the loo as long as I can remember. (constipation is a family problem lol). Now I have children so don't always have a book on the go (I can't put books down I have to finish them - I read very quickly but even so not good to ignore the kids & the house too much lol esp as a single mum) & if not got a paper or something to read then I play games or read facebook on my phone - tho sometimes that's too much of a distraction from pooing lol n have to stop n concentrate for a bit till it's started lol. do get the dead leg sometimes cos got too distracted lol!!!

Of COURSE I read in the loo. Old age doesn't come on its own, so I find I spend a lot more time in there than I used to. I'd hate to simply waste all that time just staring at the wall !

I love reading and checking up on e-mails when on the loo. It is otherwise wasted time and as an OU student it's a great time to catch up with some work.:j

My boss admitted to us a couple of weeks ago that she used to do that, and once dropped the remote control down the toilet because of it! :eek: :rotfl:
