Another thread got me thinking...

Why do some people enjoy sitting on the throne for an absolute age, reading a book/paper etc. and sitting in their own smell?

What is it with that?

(as you can tell, I like to get in and get out again)

I do it until my leg goes numb.

Always have loads of car mags by the toilet.

When hungover, I've fallen alseep a couple of times......really bad when you wake up and lost all feeling in your legs.

Most embarrassing trying to walk out of trap 3 like a stroke victim.

rofl

Someone told me recently of a guy who fell asleep (pissed) kneeling on the edge of the sofa, ie, kneeling on the floor with his face on the edge of the cushions.

Woke up 14 hours later and as there had been no blood to his legs for that long they had to amputate!

Half hour sat on the bog with a copy of Evo is a nice way to relax, no family on at you, no phone going off for work its just peace and quiet whilst I do something I gotta do anyway.

Agreed. Its the only place where you're guaranteed not to have someone come and annoy you...

I've recently been advised NOT to do it.

Increased chance of 'Farmer Giles' apparently...

...but seeing as I'm now sponsoring my own loo breaks (self employed), the amount of time spent doing paper work in the small office has been cut right down anyway.

I subscribe to the Readers Digest specifically for this reason. Most articles / stories are just about the right time to read!

Perhaps the Readers Digest team do this intentionally as they know they cater for the crap end of the market?

(did you see what I did there? did you? did you?)

I find reading the "Rotten Boroughs" section of Private Eye irritates the s**t outta me.............

I dunno about Crime & Punishment but I always read magazines on the throne. Guaranteed privacy, it's relaxing!

I only really park a buffalo when the need arises and so end up being in and out pretty quick like the OP. If I wanted to read for a long time in private I'd rather have a long bath!

All this talk of passing out on the throne reminded me of an 18th birthday party I attended. One of the guest's passed out on the loo, mid st after being sick on the floor. Wasn't too nice for whoever found him.
