    It’s even worse when I go in prepared. I have young kids who will barge in and take my device while I’m on the throne. Now I’ve got to start taking in 2 devices so I still have something after losing one.

        Bathrooms have privacy locks, not security locks. They can be opened from the outside if someone tries, and my kids have little fingers that can open the latch from outside without any additional equipment.

          Then add a security lock you can close from the inside.

          Hang it at the top of the door so it can’t be used by children.

          Or just discipline your children to not barge into occupied bathrooms.

          Difference being that you generally throw away a newspaper, whereas the surface of your smart phone is almost certainly the object that most people spend the most or second most time touching during a day, they rarely wash it, and they also carry it with them everywhere.

          It is astoundingly unhygenic to use a phone on the shitter.

          Oh, you washed your hands afterwards?

          … Did you wash the phone screen?

            Is it that bad? Just being in the presence of poop? If that’s the case we should change shirts and pants after a poop.

            I wipe with the help of my hands but never my phone so it makes sense to wash my hands.

            Back in my pocket it goes when I’m done, then I wipe and wash hands.

              It is that bad, because most people do not continue to finger their assholes when they’re not in the bathroom.

              Touch butt. Touch phone.

              Only clean hands?

              Touch phone again, you’re touching your butt again.

              Touch face after touching phone?

              You have stuck your finger in your butt and then directly in to your face.

              Put phone in pocket?

              Yeah, now your pocket has your butt in it.

              Bacteria adhere to and will keep growing on a phone.

              Just think of how clean rules work for a surgeon doing prep.

              Now, the danger is not as extreme as contamination isn’t going under the skin… but you are consistently touching a dirty, potentislly infectious surface all the time, and then touching everything else.

              I cannot believe I need to explain this, but unless you have shit all over your shirt and pants, you do not need to wash them every time you poop.

              If you have shitstains on your underwear, yes, you do need to wash them, and generally speaking, you should be changing your underwear more often than other articles of clothing… though if you sweat a lot from your arm pits, change your shirts or under shirts often as well.

                ”I cannot believe I need to explain this…”

                You don’t lol. Chill out. I don’t have shit all over my phone either and I don’t “touch butt touch phone.”

                  If you sit on a toilet, take a shit and use your phone at the same time, and then only wash your hands…

                  Your phone likely now has bacteria from your butt on it.

                  If you now touch your phone after washing your hands, without washing/cleaning the phone screen… your hands now have your butt’s bacteria back on them again, negating much of the point of washing your hands.

                  Germ theory does not stop existing and being correct because a smartphone is involved.

      Usually you put your phone away before wiping. And the real Gs use a bidet / ass squirter thingy anyways.

    People who use their phone on the toilet are gross to me. I put in wireless earbuds and listen to a podcast. Preferably one without ads so I don’t have to touch them until after I’ve washed my hands.
