to think dh is disgusting taking the iPad into the loo when he has a poo?

[CocktailQueen]

I asked where the iPad was, he lied and said it was in his office and then wouldn't let me stay while he 'looked' for it - he was obviously embarrassed that I'd caught him. Is it just me or is that disgusting??? I don't want it now. He says he wasn't using it, was just carrying it when he needed to go to the loo but wtf? Why not leave it in the office/the lounge/wherever he was using it? Yuk.

Err I take my samsung tab into the loo with me, I'll mess about on it while "busy" but then put it down while i wipe/flush/wash hands so no extra germs getting on it.

Basically every time you take a breath of unfiltered air, you're inhaling aerosolised poop. Farts, mainly, but there's ... splashing. Of course, any of those particles that land in your saliva, you swallow.

We live in a cloud of floating dung. Getting worried about something haveing been - GASP - near a toilet is way precious.

Unless he came out of the loo with actual brown smears on the screen, YABU.

No different from reading a book/paper while having a dump is it?

I have a toddler - there's probably poo particles all over the place.
If some sort of poo aerosol does escape from the small gap between the toilet and the lid it is going to go straight out all over your knees and unlikely to suddenly change direction to attack your iPad on the window sill/toothbrush on the sink.
You have more to worry about from people who don't hand wash properly.

My dh does this as do in laws with books.

I hate it. Books are impt to me and to get poo on them possibly is just Urrgh

I take mine to the loo :) often talk on facebook to my mates at the same time. saying that I am the only one that uses it though

How long are people spending in the toilet?! You go, you do, you wash hands and you leave.

has a poo particle ever killed anyone??? never heard such ridiculousness in my life.. lol!

some people have constipation hopalong.

I am currently in my office loos ... and MNetting on my iPhone whilst taking a shit ... I also have my work Blackberry with me and have managed to send out some very important and productive emails ... Some would say that I'm being gross - I call it being an efficient multi-tasker in and under constrained circumstances ...

There are limits, though. Some years ago I had a colleague who used to take her portable dictaphone into the bogs with her and the typists were somewhat unamused by how much of the background soundtrack came through on the tape.

I thought everyone had an ipoo these days?

DP took the laptop once! He said it was totally pointless because it took too long to get going (the laptop!)

I use my phone when on the loo. what's the difference?

I take books or magazines, sometimes my phone. I sit, I read, I put down, i wipe, I wash hands, I pick up. It's the same as if I left my kindle in the living room, went for a poo, washed my hands, came out and picked it up, no?

YABU.

Totally riduculous.

Do people strip naked before having a poo so their clothes are not contaminated?

Do people wash their hands before pulling their jeans up etc?

I know people that actually brush their teeth in the morning in the bathroom. Just after having a poo. Gross dirty fuckers

Get a grip!

Having a shit whilst reading this thread. Yup,just squeezing one out. I hope it's an angel wipe....

I love the MN poo particle threads :o

My whole family does this.

One of lives small pleasures.

I don't understand the need for reading anything whilst pooing.
DH does it, he sits for ages on his poo nest reading surrounded by the smell of his own shit, lovely

Eat some roughage and read on the sofa you mingers.

My dh does this as do in laws with books.

But how on earth would you get poo on the books? The only possibility I can think of is if you pick up the book after wiping and before washing your hands, and that's easy enough to avoid.

Get over it. Tis only poo.
