I forgot to take my phone when I went to the toilet yesterday. Do you know something? There are 636 tiles on my bathroom wall.

Oh I think I must be one of your siblings!! When I worked I often wondered what the neighbours must have thought if they saw me leave the house, walk towards the car, then turn around and go back. Sometimes I would do this more than once, having already been in the loo 3 or 4 times before I even left the house!
I had surgery 4 years ago to correct the problem, but it obviously didn’t fully correct it, because my innards have gradually over time resumed their original slow motion routine (if you’ll forgive the pun!). So yes, I always have something to read/do when I know I’m going to be there for a while - usually my phone, which has plenty of word games on it, and the Kindle app so I can read if I want to.
But I do wonder why anyone would think it’s disgusting to read in the loo 
I am astounded that anybody spends enough time to read anything whilst on the toilet, I am never in there longer than 3 minutes, and that includes washing my hands! 
Maybe you all need more roughage in your diet!

Aw, Jazzi, sorry, I didn’t mean to be cruel, that must be very awkward for you 
I can’t see why if you have to be in there a long time you shouldn’t take some entertainment in. We’ve got a radio in our bathroom
I’m thinking of getting a TV installed in mine

I’d love that, not for sitting on the loo but for lounging in the bath
You can get special waterproof ones

I don’t think reading on the loo is disgusting at all. Providing we follow a proper sanitary regime.
And my problem isn’t the need for more roughage.
For those of you who are in and out in minutes, consider yourselves very lucky!

Gosh you look young in that photo 
My domain is the loo that forms part of the outbuildings (ex council house) so is only just wide enough to fit a loo 
so no chance of a tv fitting (well not one that I could see )

Perhaps these might be the answer?

I can’t see anything disgusting in reading in the toilet…trying to get my head round that one.
I don’t do it, but as a cleaner and a carer for many years…I’ve actually seen toilets with a rack full of books and did wonder what was going on, …after a while I realised some like to read there, as it could be more peaceful…each to their own I say…

Reading on the pot overcomes the need for any roughage. It assists the throughput by natural means: occupying and relaxing the mind, for example.

Do people really do that? How peculiar - and distasteful!
You are joking??!!
No I am not .
Toilet paper was not widely used until the invention of Izal in 1922 ( horrible stuff similar to tracing paper ) the softer sort didn’t make an appearance until 1942 ( andrex) .

I have never read on the toilet.
But, I do confess to taking phone calls on the toilet…” plop”….
Why is it distasteful?
Well it says “Engaged” on the door, so, each to their own interpretation.

yeah, it’s a private thing. I’d rather be reading something interesting that thinking about the task down the pot…sorry for my toilet humour, I’m so immature at times 
Ignore me, Jazzi, I have just been told I am weird! 
It wouldn’t occur to me to use the lavatory as a reading room - and I certainly would not want to handle any book/newspaper that had been loitering in there - will probably never touch a library book again!
you’ll probably never think of me and Jazzi the same again LOL. Incidently, I’ve never come to any harm by reading a juicy story on the pot teehee
