OK, I'm in bathrooms and I see other guys enter the toilet stall while they're talking on their cell phones. Some will enter the stall holding on to their coffee mug.. ....and some take reading material in with them while they're doing their business. Now, I don't consider myself a Jerry Seinfeld type germ-a-phobe; but I do think its gross that these guys are taking these items into the bathroom stall w/ them. Do you agree or not?

Ummm...the cell phone and coffee thing is absolutely disgusting! And who the heck wants to read something after someone had it with them in the pooper? Yep...its gross alright.

Taking the coffee mug into the restroom is ultra-gross! Now, as far as the reading material is concerned, that's commonplace when I'm at home but I'd never do that in a public restroom (mainly because I usually try to get in and out of there as fast as possible). Talking on the cell while restrooming? That's super nasty, too!

I personally think that all food and drinks should be kept out of the restroom. Especiall the stall. Who wants to talk to someone while their doing their business. Even if that person didn't know, its a little on the nasty side. However, if they want to take some reading material, make sure its theirs and that they don't pass it around afterwards.

I have a rule, food stays out of public restrooms. Mugs included. That is just gross. Cell phones and reading materials get a pass.

Doing business can be boring and time wasting. Why not spend some time reading and gain some knowledge? The only thing I do not agree with is eating in a bathroom. You should know why.

I would think that the magazine is a common item to take into the bathroom. I wash my hands after handling public magazines anyway... this is a perfect example of why you SHOULD wash hands after handling any public propterty. you never know what the person he handled it before you did to it!
the coffee is gross though... so is the phone because they are getting jerms on it then holding it to their mouth. disgusting!

Magazines are pretty normal throne-room reading, but it's a bit nasty to take any food or drinks into a toilet stall.

I Agree. Some twirp here was asking a while back if it was wrong when someone called him about a job interview and cancelled when hearing the idiot flush the toilet, "Were you talking to me while on the pot?" I thought, yeah, well he probably gets his best ideas there, of course they disqualified you!

Yeah, that is gross, but also funny. That reminds me of when my brother in law braged about eating a chocolate bar while doing his business. He said it was a really cool feeling. I'll take his word for it.
