PCS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/toilet-tablets-35-percent-of-tablet-owners-use-their-device-in-the-bathroom-20110823/ No one really wants to touch anything that someone else has brought into the bathroom and brought back out. There’s just a gross feeling about knowing you’re reading a magazine that’s been sitting on top of the toilet for two months. However, tablet owners are apparently trading in the magazines for their shiny new toys.According to a study by Staples Advantage, Staples’ business-to-business unit, 35 percent of people bring their tablets to the toilet. The study polled 200 tablet owners from various companies across a number of industries. One of the main reasons why tablets, like the iPad, have become so popular is that they’re so portable and easy to take just about anywhere with you. In addition to taking the tablets to the john, 30 percent of the subjects admitted to taking them to restaurants. *Click Link for More* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandymac27 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 LOL@ Larry Seriously, if I had one I'd probably use it in the bathroom too. I mean, it is mine after all, and it's not like I don't wash my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Local news station did a Facebook survey on this article. They included Iphones and such. After reading the comments and such,I decided I should be a lot more cautious about borrowing a phone if the need arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I used to bring newspapers and magazines in there. My phone has replaced both and in turn gets a lot of use in the bathroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Redskin Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have carried my laptop in there before.....:paranoid: I do that regularly and I'm not the least bit ashamed of it. After I drop a deuce, I set the laptop down, wash my hands, dry my hands, and pick the laptop back up and take it out. It's not like I wipe my ass with the thing and or rinse it with turd water. Hell, half of my thoughtful posts on ES (all two of them) were drafted on the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
