    what is wrong with you all that you’re attention span is so short you can’t just sit for 5 minutes also don’t take your phone in the bathroom it’s disgusting if you have to do something have a dedicated toilet book I guess that never leaves there but don’t take your phone it’s filthy

      I can’t go if I’m not physically reading something, it’s like an instant laxative. I don’t know why but It’s not an attention span thing since I’m never in there for more than a minute(since reading makes me go so fast). I don’t even get to the end of the shampoo label.

      This feels awfully intimate to be sharing on Lemmy, I kind of feel closer to you guys now. I also read this while in there too which feels kind of poignant in its own way.

    • 5 minutes?! Even if I’m about to shit myself (which isn’t too uncommon because I’m lactose intolerant and always forget xP) it always takes me at least half an hour

      But I only bring my phone if I’m doing something on it and don’t want to wait half an hour doing nothing, normally I just let my mind entertain itself x3

      Also that would only be filthy if you don’t wash your hands in which case everything you do will be filthy inside and outside the bathroom

      I’ve been wondering for a long time whether I’d ever meet somebody else who doesn’t use their phone in the bathroom.

      I don’t really judge the people who do, might as well be entertained rather than doing nothing, but I personally feel like my hands are dirty while I’m on the toilet even if I don’t do anything (probably just a mental thing). Also, even on the bus, I had a tendency to just get lost in my head.

        I only use my phone in the bathroom when I’m on the toilet to avoid something else. A while ago, I had to take an extremely boring class and would go to the toilet and look at memes for ten minutes, or when I’m in public and bored because I’m waiting for something, then I might sit down and browse memes for a bit. But unless I’m actively trying to avoid something, I spend two minutes tops on the toilet, and if I genuinely need longer, I won’t have the mental capacities to process visual or any other kind of input.

        Hard agree on the bus thing, though, I like to space out on public transport.

      I don’t even have time to do anything while shitting. When I get to the toilet it will just come out.

      the attention span part isn’t even true, also try punctuation.

      also also, literally everything is filthy. your phone probably has the worst germs on it, even if you didn’t take it to the toilet.
