Just saw a coworker head for the Men's Room ....

[Love Bug]

... with a newspaper tucked under his arm. Ewwwwww--too much information!

Why do men need to take so long doing their "business" that they need reading material?

[matcom]

1. every Tuesday my Time Mag comes

every Tuesday it get put in the bathroom magazine rack.

i usually finish it by Saturday :D

[democracyindanger]

2. Where do you think

multitasking started? We're just super-efficient.

[SaveElmer]

3. We should be encouragd to read ...but why do women

Insist on going to the bathroom in packs!! It's like you're scared to be alone in there.

[JohnKleeb]

5. guys do that too

You dont remember elementary do ya?

[Q3JR4]

4. I like to read. In my experience,

the bathroom is the quietest place in the house. Hence, I "do my business" while I'm reading my newspaper (or whatever), not the other way around.

6. different man-visits-bathroom question:

Why do some men drip on the floor and water the ceramic, but not clean up after themselves? :puke:

17. Men are pigs Bertha.

Just like leaving the toilet seat up.

19. Good thing I'm a lesbian, then, eh?

;)

7. The rocky road to hemorrhoids is paved with printed materials...

Too much time spent sitting on the can will eventually -- literally -- bite one on the ass!

Beware.

8. I'm a female and even I read on the potty

And I realized it comes from the fact that my mother had one of those "Learn to Potty" books when I was learning to potty train.

So I suppose it was just something I picked up from my early childhood

9. MEN? Uh, it takes us 45 seconds to do our business and wash our hands.

It takes women 80 seconds.

[4morewars]

10. 87% of statistics are made up on the spot !!

You made that up, didn't you ?

[Love Bug]

11. You wash your hands?

Now THATs a topic for a whole other thread!

:crazy:

12. "Out of the closet pooper"

http://www.bathroomlife.com/other.htm

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER
Definition: A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out of the Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out of the Closet pooper before entering the bathroom.

[Love Bug]

13. Well, I suppose someone named "underpants" should know!

:D

[LynneSin]

20. See, I solved that problem by keeping a little book in my desk drawer

that I can take with me when I need to go.

no one is the wiser!

[underpants]

21. IN the desk drawer?

:eyes:

[gatlingforme]

22. LOL

[The empressof all]

14. I know what they are NOT doing in there

Just was doing laundry.... hubby's underwear.....skid marks....

euwwwwwwwwwwwwww

How's that for too much information!

[Love Bug]

16. I hear you..

my sister swears toilet paper must be like Kryptonite to men since they won't go near it! :D

[prolesunited]

18. Eeeew!!!

If that's the typical condition of his underwear and not just a careless mishap, he would be washing his underwear himself if he were my husband.

[gatlingforme]

23. I don't know any women who scrub their hubbys undies in the sink

nor do I want to know them. Sounds like a 50s problem.

[terrya]

15. It's the "Al Bundy Syndrome"

:-)

[Florida_Geek]

24. 4 yo female friend

forgot to close the office bathroom door and I saw her on the toilet with a large book reading...... I almost laughed but thought better of it. So it isn't only "men",

[Placebo]

25. Am I the ONLY MAN Who Doesn't Read In the Bathroom?

I have never read anything while doing my business, it seems freakish that anyone would want to!

Personally, I kind of want to get in and out asap. :eyes:

[SoCalDem]

26. Men are fascinated with stuff that "leaves their bodies"

you know the stuff.. boogers...spit...belches...sweat....farts...and all the rest too..

Maybe it's their way of compensating for the really spectacular things that women "release"...like babies :):P

:)..

I was always taught that EVERYBODY goes to the bathroom..it's not a big deal.. We don't go around announcing.."Hey everyone, I just inhaled...whoaaa.. now I exhaled... Isn't that fantastic?"..
