Confession Time
So, from where are you reading my blog right now?
It wouldn't be surprising if it were from the toilet.
A survey was released stating that many people are surfing the net in the bathroom.
And, because people are unlikely to be able to go online while in the bath or brushing their teeth, it can only be assumed that the toilet is the reserved location for online exploration.
Although I find that odd, I must say that's a lot better than being on the telephone and the toilet at the same time.
I don't know how many times I've had to hear "tinkle, tinkle" while I'm talking to someone, and I just know they're in the bathroom talking to me. And, you also know they're in the bathroom because there's this hollow echo coming from their side of the phone - a sound that can only indicate that the person's in a small, but open room.
I'm not one to do those kinds of things. I can't talk to someone while I'm performing such a private act. It bother's me when people try to talk to me while I'm in the bathroom from outside the door, let alone inviting them in by way of the telephone.
The throne is a sacred place to me,
I will not invite others in to hear me pee.

I have been known to print out blog posts at work and read them in the bathroom. Since I don't have a laptop, I have never posted in there, though.

LOL You remember the scene from Terms of Endearment where Debra Winger is talking to John Lithgow in the bathroom and her son needs to use it, so she tells him ok just hurry and then tries to whisper to him Don't Flush? But Mom, you told us to ALWAYS flush.

I caught my wife in the bathroom with the laptop the other day. While reading the net is one thing, I'd be rather disturbed to be reading a blog site with a tagline "Posted in: The crapper"

The bathroom is for reading mags. I don't have an internet connection there. :)

Hmmm that's an idea. I usually use the wireless laptop in the kitchen to pull up a recipe, or surf in bed.
I read you from work when things get slow. At home it's from the office, or as I said, from bed.

ha here's a different one! I've broken into a comp USA, snagged a laptop, hooked it up to a wireless router, and I'm outside in a dumpster chowing down on leftovers from Bob Evans.
ok not really, so I'm just sitting here in the living room with the tv on eating Arbys.

I've seen reports state that computer keyboards are the number one germ-spreader in the workplace.
Now we know why. ;) E. Coli anyone?

Printable things that ran through my mind reading this one:
1. When surfing on the throne...where do you put the computer?
2. Aren't your hands, er, busy?
3. Speaking of hands - if you surf on the john, remind me NEVER to touch your computer.
I used to work with a guy who would answer his cell phone in the men's room. The usual treatment for men who do this is immediate, loud flushing of all adjacent toilet stalls. Despite being on the receiving end of this treatment for over a year, the offender persisted in this behavior. I'll bet he's got a computer with him in there now.

One time I was on the phone with someone at work for quite a while when all of a sudden the guy flushed the toilet. I was left wondering at exactly what point in the conversation the turd hit the water.

I'm in and out... unless of course i'm in the bath! I would blog in the bath if I could.

You might be an Internet redneck if:
You've ever blogged from the toilet.
You've taken your laptop into the washroom.
You've ever considered peeing while posting.

I can't understand how people talk on their cells while in the public toilet. I was in a stall once, and all of a sudden someone in the stall next to me said loudly, "Hello!" I jumped out of my skin first, and then wondered what the proper response is for when you're addressed from an adjacent stall. I said meekly, "hello?" back, and then the other person preceeded into a conversation that made no sense and I realized that they were on the phone.
Cell phones play that trick on me anywhere I can't see a person is holding a phone to their ear, since I think they are talking to me, especially since I'M THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN THE ROOM, and their darn phone doesn't ring so I can hear it.
