My wife cant understand it. She wants to know why I take so long on the loo. She wants to know why I feel the need to take a book or mag or laptop into the loo.

Is it just me that actually savours the time spent on the loo? There is something peaceful about going to the toilet, its almost like a sanctuary.

Not to mention the sheer relief of doing your business.

I accept I am wierd!

Nope - straight in and out. Drop the kids off, do the paperwork and move on.

Time spent contemplating is time wasted.

I invariably tend to think I've clearly been involved in an explosion at a Union Carbide chemical plant.

Women usually are very quick, don't know why. Different physiology, maybe?

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

Can't say I've ever taken my laptop into the bog with me, sometimes it's the only place you can get some peace and quiet, just sit there for 10-15 minutes.

It's simple... it's the only room with a lock on the door. Ergo, it's the only room you get any peace!

I'm the same (no homo)
It's purely a function to get it done and get out.

Out of interest, where does the time actually go? before? after?
I can't imagine sitting there ready to crap, but just waiting to finish a cross word.

Sort of like driving, i imagine everyone here likes driving, but i can't see them sitting in the car for 5 mins before setting off, or just staying in the car after getting to where ever you were going to enjoy the experience.

I go to the toilet when I need to go. When I need to go I don't have time to sit and read. And as soon as 'the business' is done, I want to get cleaned and out of there a.s.a.p !

I take as long as I can get away with.

Newspapers, sudoku, blackberry,

I draw the line at taking an i-pod though. Listening to music while you have a crap is just wrong.

I don't understand why anyone would sit over a steaming pile of st while reading a book.

Definitely! Shopping is like being behind enemy lines, you go in, grab the target and get back to the LZ as quickly as possible!
