Laptops and Wi-Fi networks have a lot to answer for it seems! A survey by internet service provider Plusnet has found that 10% of their users have used their laptops to surf the net during a trip to the toilet either at home or at work.
Wouldn’t you find it a bit weird if a work colleague went into the toilets with a laptop under his arm and didn’t come out again for a while? Or maybe when you’re in there and hear “click! click! click!” coming from one of the stalls beside you?!
It’s a bit like that famous Dilbert cartoon where Wally gets told that he’s getting a new cubicle, only to find out that it’s a bathroom stall. Delighted, he sends an email to his mother from the stall saying “Mom! I got my own office – with a door!”

I am surfing on my toilets right now.
And what ?
Lol I do that all the time, in fact that’s half the reason I bought a phone with WiFi so I wouldn’t have to carry my laptop in :D
They have a fantastic, cheap, rollaway at Office Depot that works perfect in front of the couch or toilet. Not that (ahem) I’ve tested it.
Anybody that owns a laptop, can’t deny they haven’t done this. 10% may even be somewhat low.
Am I wrong to think that maybe this is a guy thing? Because I don’t care how geeky she is, I don’t think I’ve ever met a girl who’s done this. :-p
That’s what Entertainment Weekly is for!
@The Windows Fix: Well actually I haven’t take my laptop to the bathroom yet, I prefer to use a phone like “Study Babes” does.
