Anyone lucky enough to have a tv attached to the back of the bathroom door so you don't get bored?

No, seriously, what do you do when you're going to the toilet (except the obvious of pooing, weeing and vomiting)?

Anyone read books, go on their phone, sleep - what? I need ideas!

Those 30 minutes every few days is the only time the cat finds it the best to play up, destroy everything and if it's not destroy, it's eaten. So I sit on the loo yelling at her to stop it. I'm her mum, I know what she's doing...
 
I have fallen asleep on the loo before! Mostly I just make pictures in my head out of the floor tiles. I really want an ipad!
 
Hey Tasha,

I don't really do anything, it's more thinking time for me haha.

A bit like your cat, I often hear my dog making trouble or snuffling at the bathroom door!

xx
 
Slightly off topic - in the mornings my cat licks and scratches my door to wake me up, same time everyday!

Animals are amazing!
 
I read, play with my phone and daydream. Never fallen asleep there but sometimes I do in the tub. No real pets here - just a fish. My kids are allergic to dogs and cats. I miss puppies.
 
I am sure once or twice I have gone to sleep while sitting there, in my defense that was during the early hours of the morning once the worst of the night attack had passed lol... I make sure to have a book or magazine in there for the longer sessions.
 
Beatbox.
And the habit has slowly crept out of the 'home office'. I find I do it in public toilets unconsciously all the time now. I think it weirds people out, but at least I usually get the place to myself now.

Except one time in a bar in Toronto where a guy at the urinal started freeestyle rapping along with me.

You can't make this stuff up.
 
when i was 13 my mom put a massive where's wally poster on the bathroom door for me, but once i found him it got a little boring lol.

....i've also done homework and assignments in there too lol.

fortunatley i now have an ileostomy so them days are over :)
 
When I went on holiday to Italy I was very poorly, as usual! I didn't poo that week, so I wee'd to make up for it - damn cystitus.

Anywho, in one week, I lost my dignity from peeing on road sides. One unfortunate time I was a rabbit caught in headlights! Then the police turned up! We got in the car and left. And on the autostrider in Italy we had to pull over so I could go.

Thanks to that holiday, going to the toilet anywhere is fine - if you gotta go, you gotta go! Haha!
 
Where else but a Crohn's forum could you ask this question and get serious (and funny) answers? Ever since I have gotten my laptop, I read the morning paper in the early sessions. Then it's on to sudoku and crossword puzzles. Love that beatbox answer!
 
I either read or look at the forum on the iPad. I know they are not cheap but since we have got it (about a year now) I have only used the home computer a couple of times as I use the iPad for everything. One of my cats also follows me into the bathroom and lies on my feet demanding belly rubs.
 
I have a selection of books in the loo - so if I'm there a while I can read.
I also take my mp3 player and Nintendo DS - just in case I get bored.
I have fallen asleep on the loo before - more than once.
 
I usually read, but if my grandson isn't here I smoke bongs. I find the coughing helps me with releasing.:cool2:

poopaholic you made me laugh so hard i got coffee coming out of my nose!

I find the coughing helps me with releasing.... you made my day!!
 
Now I have my tablet I take that with me.
Before I would take books, magazines and suduko puzzles to do. I have also taken the kids ds in as well.
I have fallen asleep on the look many times.
 
I take books, papers, magazines with me when I know it is going to be a long session. But, I have a hard time concentrating through the cramping. Sooooo, I think I have to get an iPad now so I can play angry birds! I have fallen asleep a couple of times when it was in the night. Mostly, I just sweat and swear under my breath!
 
The other night I as sat on the loo in pain and being a bit tearful, luckily I put a stool and the laptop in front of me to chat to people - didn't tell them what I was doing tho! But I found it hard to talk to people whilst on the toilet haha.
 
I'll definately take my laptop in with me next time I have a relapse, it'll give me no end of laffs knowing that I'm on the loo chatting to people who have NO idea what I'm up to :ybiggrin:
 
1st thing in the morning when on the toilet I get my electric shaver out & have a shave. Might as well make use of the time.
