S/O the ae post on ML

I think glitzyglow mentioned that taking your phone into the bathroom is a red flag on the surviving fidelity website. Do you think it is?

[wrathofkuus]

Nope. I just posted in there asking if he could be playing Words with Friends while he poops.

[Deleted]

Soooo am I to assume that this is what you are doing when you're playing WWF with me?

[fussbucket]

Not in the total absence of other red flags, not at all. But if there are other red flags, maybe best to look at those than wonder too much about your SO's bathroom habits.

That is a fair assumption about half of the time. The other half, I'm taking my basal body temp and trying not to fall back asleep while the thermometer does its thing.

That alone, no way. DH and I both take our phones almost everywhere. They're little mobile entertainment systems!

Good to know.

I have tetris on my phone for this very reason. H usually just trolls around on amazon.

Apparently H ordered some of my Christmas presents while pooping.

I love TIP ladies.

LOL...I would never think to go on my phone or do anything while sitting on the toilet. I sit down, do my thing, wash my hands and leave!

You don't ever read a magazine or book mort?

You're so efficient. I'm pretty sure this is what Pinterest was made for.

No. I think of it as my quiet time to just veg if things aren't going as quickly as I had hoped! LOL Otherwise it's just in and out as quickly as possible.

It oogs me out that people read magazines in the bathroom at work and then leave them sit on the floor next to the toilet. I would not pick one of those up unless you paid me a decent amount!

[bowies]

I'm either on Pinterest or posting on this board. YWIA for the visual!

ETA: And, yes, with the other red flags the AE posted, him taking his phone into the bathroom is a red flag. My XH did that and I remember thinking how cliche it was. I knew he wasn't playing Angry Birds while in the shower. Dumbass.

We have a basket that they sit in on the floor.

Definitely not weird, although I do think it's weird to take your phone into the bathroom while you're showering. Apparently I don't care about poo particles, but I do worry about water particles.

Ok, that's just gross. I'll agree with you on that. My phone is in my pocket or my hand (or on the sink or shower ledge if I'm at home) and that's it. I don't put it on the public bathroom floor.

Where I work people talk on the phone while they are in the stall and then will sit their phone on the floor while they pull up their pants and flush the toilet...then they pick up the phone and continue to talk. I just can't imagine doing that and I am far from being a germaphobe.

OMG EW

I'm not a germaphobe either. I'm just realistic about how often they don't mop the floors.

[Deleted]

That is nasty. Putting your phone on the public bathroom floor? And then putting it on your face? Gross.

[Muddled]

You should not talk on the phone while you poop. I do not want to hear your private business.

Typing to me is ok because I can picture you somewhere else, although Bowies will always be sitting on a toilet in my mind from this point on.


That being said, taking the phone into the bathroom is not unusual, but if Brad were hiding his phone in the dresser, we would have some problems.

[malibu]

That alone, not a red flag. I think my H would fall asleep on the toilet if he didn't take it in there with him.

[gault]

I have an exclusive bathroom book at all times. That or a bathroom magazine.

A poop periodical, if you will.

[dixienormous]

I take my phone or the iPad in with me. I go on pinterest, play my Simpsons game or check FB. I can't poop if I'm staring at the wall.
