Back in the days, before the advent of phone, some people will pick up a newspaper, novel, magazine and the likes when going to the toilet.

Why?

Most people claimed they take these reading materials to the toilet to read why doing the deal.

Some people have even claimed ‘the best place they can read and assimilate well’ is in the toilet while pooing.


Coming to the new age, where our phones have taken the place of our reading materials as their are now soft copies.

New age where we now have Social media sites, applications, games and wonderful selfie applications.

Many of us have become so addicted with our phones that we can’t let it out of our sights for some seconds.

Some people can’t stand few minutes in the bathroom while their phones are charging in the other room.

While people who were alive before the advent of phones took Newspaper to the toilet.

Most people of the new generation take their phones to the toilet with them.


Though, many people will claim they have never done such but majority must have indulge in this habit at one time or the other.

Whether you have or not, there are some dangers that come with it.

Below are some things that could happen if you take your phone with you to the toilet.

1. You could end up staying for hours in the toilet.

This is very possible, that urge that continues to come why reading a status on Facebook.

Checking feeds on Twitter and the likes.

All of these can keep one for long unnecessarily in the toilet.

2. Forgetting to Flush.

Some people who have been carried away while making use of their phones could end up forgetting to flush.

Having stayed long in the Toilet, they unconsciously stand up and leave.

3. You could contact germs.

The toilet is a place were we release body waste.

So, there is an high chance the phone will come in contact with germs.

Especially, if you forget to rinse your hand after doing the deal in the toilet.

4. It becomes difficult to stand after spending a long time in the toilet.

So, are you among those that visit the toilet with their phones?

apart from toilet and bath room

a take my phone with me any where i go
I can't be in zone A and leave my phone in Zone B
phone is something we need to carry along
no one knows when an emergency call is coming because that is why it is called mobile phone for quick response

nothing is more annoying in life than when you calling some one and the person is not picking up just because he left the phone in zone C while the person is in zone D
or maybe he intentionally ignored the call or the phone is on silent
girls do that alot . placing phone on silent

Nonsense!

Do you know how much knowledge I have gained on the toilet bowl with a book or phone in my hands? Of all your points, only #3 stands correct. Then again, you can contact germs just by shaking hands. Should we now stop that too?
