How Do You Keep Yourself Busy While You're Taking A Dump?

Sitting on the toilet bowl can be boring, unless you really need to concentrate. Sometimes you are left with nothing to do but wait for yourself to finish unloading. The sound is quiet, the wall tiles are plain and corny, you can't stand up, you can't do anything at all. What I usually do is bring my psp with me and play. Oftentimes I really get into what I'm playing and I will still be sitting there minutes after dropping the motherload. How about you? How do you keep yourself busy?

this is a funny thread. i have a routine. i would usually feel the urge a few minutes after i drink coffee in the morning. i find myself not being able to concentrate if a am doing something else. my father, on the other hand, loves in read while doing that. sometimes, he'd be in the bathroom for 45 minutes. :)

I love how you phrased this one lol. You don't expect to be reading along and see a discussion about "taking a dump" lol. Well, usually I'm in and out pretty fast so I don't need to worry about what to do while I'm going. sometimes though if I think its going to take me a little while then i'll grab something to read. If i'm reading a book i'll take it in with me. If i don't have a book i'm reading at the time I'll grab a magazine.

For as long as I can remember we've always kept a book or magazine in our bathroom to read while we are unloading. I remember sitting on the commode as a child reading whatever I could put my hands on while I was in the bathroom. Now I'm grown and with a home of my own, but that is one of the habits from my childhood that I've taken to my own house. The greatest thing is that the back of the toilet makes a perfect place for keeping a book.

Wow, what a question! I need all my focus to take care of business I think. I'm rarely in there long enough to need to do anything. And if I am, then I have more pressing problems then occupying my time. Usually sickness or something that I ate not quite agreeing with my system. After all, I like food but sometimes it does not like me that well.

In the past I would keep myself busy solving sudokus, but I wasn't the one who bought the magazine. Now as I don't feel like buying a sudoku magazine, I carry my NDS to the toilet and keep myself entertained. To tell you the truth it doesn't take me long, so I have to continue the game outside the toilet.

I usually pick up some magazine to browse or play my mobile phone, psp etc. It's easier to transfer your attention to something else hehe. In the office if I have nothing to watch, I would just watch my watch for one or two sights haha.

This is a very unusual and somewhat weird discussion to talk about, but this is what I intend to do, as I haven't done it yet. Whilst doing my ....(you know), I was intending of buying a t.v. and watch it whilst...yeah. But, since I don't have a t.v. screen in my bathroom, I often read the newspaper which is now becoming boring.. that's why I want a t.v. screen. I also turn on the radio and listen to my favourite music channel if that counts. I'm pretty sure everyone has his/her own way of doing something whilst they are...(you know).

I..read stuff, like if I have to read homework, I read my homework, that way I'm productive in two ways haha. Other times, if I cant find anything to read, I sing, or try to think of stuff I gotta do.

Um akward question but i think about what I did in the day and all other stuff i don't have time to think about. usually it only takes me up to 3 minutes so i really just scan through everything and there, by the time I'm finished, I'm out of the restroom and on with the rest of the day. taking a dump is really relaxing and takes a lot of weight off me. Lol i now it's really funny but that's what i think.
