I knew that cellphone use had become parasitic or symbiotic, depending on your point of view, (drivers and pedestrians, for instance) but this was new territory for me. I came across the info while reading up on upcoming medical technology.
The majority of Brits (57%) admit to using their phone on the toilet, including 8% who say they “always” do it and another 14% who say they do “most times”.
Among the youngest Britons, however, that figure is much higher. A majority of 18 to 29 year old men (61%) say they use their phone on the throne every time, or most times, as do 44% of women of the same age.
Overall, 86% of men and 84% of women under 30 say they do it to some extent.

The only time I even take my phone into the bathroom with me is when I am expecting a call I don't want to miss. Any other time it can wait until I'm finished. I don't want to be in there any longer than I have to be and messing with my phone only makes it take longer.

Otoh no one has a magazine rack in there anymore.

Otoh no one has a magazine rack in there anymore. Not so fast: I do! I always read in the...uh...reading room.
I just have an old flip phone and don't do facebook or tweety or any of that stuff, so in the bathroom, my cell phone is about as useless as a fish on a bicycle.

I'll admit to taking my phone in the bathroom once. I had it in my hand while dropping my drawers and it splashed down like Apollo 11.
Never again

The old fender product guides (frontline??) used to be my preferred reading material in the library.

I don't have a magazine rack, so I pile up all the catalogs I get on the counter top. This keeps them clear of the corn cobs nestled on top of the toilet tank.
