No. Not much you can do with a flip phone in the can. I bring whatever book I’m reading at the time.

Same here. Having a flip phone has saved me from being exposed to a lot of the social media that so many folks seem to be addicted to. Also, I’ve never dropped a phone in the toilet.

Just something to read. I know a guy who said that he would read the back of the soap bottle if that was all that was available.

Of course, its my most consistent TBP time. If one is going to be a shit-throwing monkey its best to be around a stockpile of “ammo”.

Don’t have a cell phone or laptop. I read a magazine (Veteran or American Legion) or a free local pictorial.

Flip phone here too. If you can’t shit without a phone you are mentally ill.

Thumbs up for the flip phone, that’s what I’ve got. Per minute charge, so I hardly even answer it.

When I was a teenager I used to do that after getting home from school–tried to read the contents label of various medicine cabinet bottles to correctly pronounce the chemicals. Weird, I know, but a good time-killer.

Have a stack of books and magazines. In fact – now that I know this is common practice I’ll think twice before asking to borrow someones phone…

Heck no I don’t. Why would I care to call someone while on the toilet? Oh, you mean you use your telephone for something other than to make and receive calls? I have a telephone, not a “smart phone” (which I believe would belong down the toilet, not in my hand), so there’s no point.
As for the computer: It’s plugged in in the office with a CAT-5 line. How’s that going to reach the bathroom even if I wanted it to? Oh, wireless? I don’t use it! I naturally block wireless signals and it’s not healthy, anyway.
Yeah, I’m not really plugged-in to these stupid modern electronics, sorry. I never saw the point (and no, I’m not an old fogey, either). That said, does it really take you that long to empty yourself? I don’t know about you, but a label is about the most I would be able to read in that short timespan.

Cell phone while on the can, no, never. Like T4C says a couple minutes and done. I have never understood the need to take reading material on a trip to the toilet.
Most of the time I have no idea where my cell phones are and as a result I often leave home without them; Most people would panic if they found themselves without a phone. I just look at it like I managed the first fifty years of my life without carrying a phone I don’t think it’s a big deal not carrying one now.

No. I leave the thing at home more often than not. Sometimes I leave it at work too but that can be a problem if any of the guys find it. There’s an unwritten rule where I work that if you forget your phone there, you’ll have (updated) pictures of everyone’s twig and giggle berries waiting for you when you get it back.
My phone is an 11 year old flip phone.

Flip phone here; if I’m carrying it, it sits in the belt holster while I’m busy in a bathroom.
Never used a laptop in a bathroom; it can wait, nothing is that time-critical.
What is wrong with these people? Maybe a Wall Street day-trader doing derivatives needs a phone on in the bathroom, or an on-duty nuclear warrant officer, but I can’t imagine anyone else.

Never have, never will.. Almost always leave it at home when I head to town – not intentionally, I’m just not programmed that way. I’m an old dog…new tricks take a good deal of work sometimes..I recall when we got our first dial phone…
Sometimes people might text me and I don’t see the message for a day or two….
