    I’ve been wondering for a long time whether I’d ever meet somebody else who doesn’t use their phone in the bathroom.

    I don’t really judge the people who do, might as well be entertained rather than doing nothing, but I personally feel like my hands are dirty while I’m on the toilet even if I don’t do anything (probably just a mental thing). Also, even on the bus, I had a tendency to just get lost in my head.

      I only use my phone in the bathroom when I’m on the toilet to avoid something else. A while ago, I had to take an extremely boring class and would go to the toilet and look at memes for ten minutes, or when I’m in public and bored because I’m waiting for something, then I might sit down and browse memes for a bit. But unless I’m actively trying to avoid something, I spend two minutes tops on the toilet, and if I genuinely need longer, I won’t have the mental capacities to process visual or any other kind of input.

      Hard agree on the bus thing, though, I like to space out on public transport.
