Do you bring your cellphone with you to the toilet? Whether you admit it or not, most of us actually do some form of reading while in the can. In fact 63% of people read a book, magazine, or newspaper while using the bathroom; another 75% admit to using their cellphones or answering a text.

Those who read on the toilet don’t do that because they think it’s an efficient use of their time; it’s probably because they can’t not do something on the toilet. It’s become sort of a ritual, where something feels missing is they stop. In the following infographic by Magazine Discount Center, it reveals that the average person spends about 30 minutes in the bathroom each day.
