Men and Toilets!

What the hell is it with men and toilets? Does anyone else’s husband take fucking ages on the toilet? It’s driving me nuts!

Husband just looks at me like I’m moaning and says it takes time. 🙄 Feed up of him wasting all our time! He’s driving me and the kids round the twist!

I’m very lucky my dh isn’t like this at all. He waits until he needs to go, and then he goes. He is in and out.

@Soubriquet can you send him round to have a word with DH

Yup. Every morning, 20 mins on the toilet. He's vegetarian and "regular" so not like he's constipated. I have no idea what takes so long.

He would be more than happy to! Even he doesn’t understand men sitting on toilets for 10-15 mins. He’s like…why?! It’s not the comfiest place to sit

Take away their phones?

I have this issue with my current DP and also with my last one...pretty sure some men just hide in there on their phones to escape and get some alone time. If he's in a hurry for some reason, it miraculously doesn't "take time", is yours the same? You're not alone, it drives me mad!

@Applebyapples yes, funny enough it seems to magically happen in minutes when he needs to be somewhere!

Wouldn't it be a shame if the wifi stopped working while he was 'shitting'?

Men do this to avoid their families or have a wank. The first shit after I pushed out my first baby was quicker than my ex-husbands family-avoiding-log-production.

Think its in their DNA - not just the phone as a distraction, my grandad used to have books on the go in both toilets in their house in the 80's way before the phone as a distraction!

Smart phones can go online without wifi
