Why would I want to sit on a hard toilet huffing my own shit stench long enough to read?

Magazines into the bathroom?

What kind of self-respecting man pulls that type of silliness??

When I hit the head, I bring small block engines in with me to work on.

Since space is at a premium in the tiny bathroom at my late Moms house, I took out the metal magazine rack I had in there and put in this magazine holder from Amazon inside the vanity door. Hides the crapper reading material and keeps the floor uncluttered.

Used to have a pile of NRA mags and Midway and Dillon catalogs weighing down the tank.

Thank you. And if it takes longer than that I'm more focused on pushing than reading. The whole concept of reading in the bathroom, preplanned, is bizarre.

Have you not seen the food threads around here? Guys eat a 72oz steak for dinner nightly.

GD loves meat and cheese.

That’s why the majority have to sit on a pot for an hour plus.

This also coincides with the hemmeroid threads.

Thanks for the post.

Put the owners manual to new appliances, power tools, vehicles, etc. in there.
You're welcome.

Half of them wipe sitting down and don’t check if their ass is clean either. Same people who wonder why their feet stink but think the water running down their body is enough to get them clean.

Many people need to relax and take their mind off of what they're trying to do for just a few minutes to get going.

If your ass is that tender and your shit that stinky, you may want to reconsider some of your life choices.

Yes, before smart phones I'd see people do this. I didn't like people knowing I was pooping so I found what I wanted to read on line and printed it out in a foldable format. (This was during the internet but before smartpones were good.)

I always keep an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader in the can. Sometimes I end up in there with no phone, so it gives me something to occupy myself. Or sometimes I choose it over my phone.

No. I’m civilized. There’s a plethora of quality reading material already in there.

And I don’t bring my phone in there. Fucking disgusting.

I read Arfcom GD while I poop.

It seems like there is a common trope in TV that men go into the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine tucked under their arm. Do people actually do that? I go in there and I sit down and I get the business done. I'm not sitting there and reading the newspaper. Quite the opposite. I'm in and out.

I used to read in there, but not for the past couple years. I have been unable to use the restroom by myself since taming a feral cat in '20, since said cat has decided that I am all that is good in the world, and she cannot risk my getting sucked into the toilet or something.

In my younger days there was no time waisted. As I got older it took a little longer to get the troublemaker. Reading also relaxes things.

What else do you leave on the tank lid?

I don't, sit, shit, wipe, and get off the pot.

I still take a book or magazine in to the crapper with me.

My great granddad would read a whole newspaper while on the crapper!

I have an iPad specifically for reading in the bathroom. I don't understand the "get in and get out" thing, personally.

Sometimes it takes longer than 2 seconds to shit, what am I gonna do, sit there and ponder the meaning of life and kittens playing with string?

Nah, I'll read on my iPad while my bowels figure out wtf they're gonna do.

Universal sign to your spouse that says "I'm gonna be a while."

Universal sign to your kids who you haven't seen all day saying "come knock on the door and give me attention"

Our master bathroom has a built in magazine rack next to the toilet.

There is a magazine in the pistol and a spare magazine, so yes I actually do use it

The nice thing is due to the design you can't see it just looking into the bathroom

How about, "No".

It's called multitasking.

Plus people tend not to bother you when you are in the bathroom.

Ever since I was a kid. I've never been a "shit n' go" person, so a book or magazine is required. I never take my phone because I want some peace and quiet. They can wait until I'm done.

Once I got married, I realized that women can't stand to see a man being comfortable and reading a book. They want to talk about stupid shit while you're reading. If I go to the bathroom and read, I don't get disturbed.
