Poll: What do you do on "the throne"?

[ottenni]

I boogey down. Oh yeah, toilet disco.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I just poop and go, I don't see how people can actually have the time to sit and read. Unless they're constipated, in which case they should probably get off their fat ass and stop eating junk.

 

[ultimateownage]

I act has a figure head for England. On my toilet I take a shit.

*EDIT* You forgot wank on the pole.

 

[Chicago Ted]

There needs to be a combinations choice.

 

[hippykiller]

i shit what do you think? well if i just got my newest issue of Game Informer Magazine then I'll shit and read that at the same time.

 

[Croaker42]

Im surprised by the number of people that use laptops while on the crapper. I sense a new communit forming. You can call it; 'Escapist on the can'

As for myself, im all business. Get in and get it done. Mostly I don't want to risk destroying something dear to me (book/handheld/whatever) in what could be called a natural disaster.

EDIT/SIDE NOTE: If I do find myself out and about with a little extra time, I usually try and high dock one and leave it for next poor bastard.

 

[Nalesnik]

Play mah PSP. Currently, I'm doing a second play-through of Crisis Core. (My goal is to complete the game all entire on the pooper.) =)

 

[RobbinHood]

how the hell do you people have that much time doing that o.0 ......
i go in do my business and go out ......
why would you want to spend any more time then you should in there.... wana read? do your stuff go out take a book sit on your couch and read.....
o.o

This has been a question that always bothered me too. "Let's hang out in my own stink for a while." WHY?! The weird part is that the "in and out" poopers seem to be the minority. Can someone explain what's so great about this multitasking.

I am right there with you Wickerton. Get in then get out, why would you want to spend more of your life around fecal matter?

 

[ValentinesAshes]

I've got agree with all of the poop-and-goers. I never understood the people who have the time to read on the toilet. I mean, have they lost their muscle control and need to wait for gravity to do the work or are they making a life-sized clay baby and need the time to dilate for birth.

 

[Dark Knifer]

Wow so far I'm the only one who listens to music... SCORE!

I also read mainly, think, etc.

Not anymore hehe... Is it wrong to listen to BOOM! by system on the throne?

 

[Alberio]

At home I relax and take my time. At Uni nothing, I like to be in and out as quickly as possible, you never know when the fire alarm is gonna go off.

 

[Nova5]

Meh, usually just let the natural result happen.

However, if I'm sick of have just eaten Asian food (seriously), I'm playing my PSP.

I've always heard about people reading a magazine on the toilet, and it's always confused me. Are you that constipated that you can actually read a magazine on the toilet, or is your attention span so short that you can't spend five minutes without outside stimulus? Take a crap and spend some time with your own thoughts. Myself, I poo and go. If you have to spend more than ten minutes on the toilet regularly then you should probably call a doctor and adjust your diet.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Usually i just listen to music.

If i can feel that it's a big dumb, i step on teh bathroom scale befor eand after, mu current record is 1.1 KG (2.4 Lbs) it was a fucking brown mountain.

No idea as to why however I found that hilarious. Perhaps because I have done the same, I believe 3lbs was the highest as disgusting a topic this may be.

Anyhow, I contemplate or read a strategy guide of the game I happen to be playing upon the time and I must shower immediately following. I have something of a paranoia about cleanliness. If such is not a possibility, I play the waiting game. Probably not a healthy game however what can I say, I loathe this necessity and delay as long as possible. Five to seven days is the general average.

Edit: Lovely topic by the way, TC.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Reading. I used to catch some flak for how much I liked to read while using the bathroom. One of my cousins kept, like, a library in the bathrooms at her house. It must be genetic.

Or maybe it's just a good time for books. I mean, I'm not really doing anything anyway.

I've played a handheld a few times on the toilet, but was never very comfortable with that. There's so much that can go horribly, horribly wrong.

Well, it doesn't take as long to use the bathroom when you're a green zombie who only eats brains and blood.

Tom Cruise, on the other hand, is under a LOT of stress these days. You couldn't begin to understand how much he needs his quiet time in the bathroom.

 

[Disaster Button]

Wow so far I'm the only one who listens to music... SCORE!

Nah course not, of course the last time I listened to music in this situation I ended up dropping my iPod down the toilet, not a very good thing to do as it turns out.

 

[Caligulove]

I poo of course.
That shit should not take long, otherwise its kind of a bad sign. And theres nothing I could really do in that amount of time. Maybe if I was already reading a book and didnt want to stop Id take it with me?

 

[crudus]

I bring my laptop in with me and watch Youtube, listen to music, post on The Escapist. Whatever strikes my fancy at the time.

 

[fenrizz]

I read, half my library is actually on a stack-shelf aside the toilet

I do the same thing.
I have an extensive book and magazine collection on the toilet.

I don't have to use that much time, I just like to.
On the toilet no one will ever bother you, you get peace and quiet.
It's a very nice place to read.
