Do you take your phone with you into the bathroom?

[SkyKnight03]

I was watching a video on phone use, and for the majority of people this is a 'yes'.

If you think about it, phones are pretty gross as people bring them and place them down absolutely everywhere.

I use mine for teeth brushing. I play a song and when it ends I stop.

Usually when I shower I'll leave it on the bathroom counter so I can play music on it while I'm showering. Can't say I'd bring it to any other bathroom though or anywhere else. While my phone is water-resistant, I don't want to get any germs on it if I can avoid it.

I do lol. I've upgraded from reading shampoo bottles.

I never bring my phone into the bathroom, and that's because I'm a germophobe! I wouldn't feel okay just putting it somewhere. It could also get wet, or dirty. Not what I'd like to have happen!

 

[Croconaw]

I do. I always have my phone with me.

me and my phone are almost never parted i use my phone in the bath, but not when i shower. when im washing my face & brush my teeth ill watch tiktoks or insta reels.

 

[moonbyu]

i do but i wish i didn't it makes me feel addicted, which i guess i kind of am haha

Probably in the minority here, but I actually don't. I only really bring my phone anywhere when I think I'd really need it. Most of the time I'm charging it or carrying it in a bag or whatnot.

I used to, but I stopped around Covid.

I usually leave it in my pocket when I'm going to the bathroom. ^^ But I'm trying to not bring it places where there are lots of germs. :3

 

[mogyay]

no (yes)

 

[Snap Crackle Pop]

I do not bring my phone with me to the bathroom, I've never thought about it even if I wanted to listen to music I still probably wouldn't do it. I'm too afraid something will happen to it.

thats very reasonable ^^

 

[Dunquixote]

I do .

 

[Chronos314_XD]

I don't use my phone on the toilet like some people do but when I'm just doing stuff like brushing my teeth I'd have like a YouTube video or something playing in the background.

 

[Kamzitty]

Oh absolutely. I bring my phone to play music when I shower, I play podcasts while doing my makeup, and most importantly I scroll tiktok while using the toilet I most definitely have an addiction to my phone. I’m almost never without it!

The only time I take my phone with me into the bathroom is when I'm out in public (and it stays inside my pocket the entire time).

 

[Soigne]

i do not, i have a pretty big fear of germs and contamination. if i'm in public, it'll come with me but stay in my pocket or my bag.

 

[Envy]

I do, even when I just pee. I blame my ADHD and having a need for lots of stimulation whenever I'm awake. Although I think it got worse when I worked in retail and I'd always use that time in the bathroom to check my phone and text real quick. I don't know that I'd feel such a need to have my phone when just peeing if it weren't for the habit I built up over years working that job. >.<

I've never jumped aboard the smartphone train yet, only really bothering to get cheap flip phones, though with every passing year the temptation to finally get a smartphone is stronger and I'll probably end up with one sooner or later. So, with that said, there's no real reason or incentive to use the phone in the bathroom, and I don't.

Even if/when I eventually get a smartphone, I more than likely won't. I don't bring any other electronics like DS/3DS or the tablet in the bathroom either. Not only does it seem unhygienic, I wouldn't want to risk anything happening to any of these things. I also don't really feel a need or urge to utilize technology all the time and like to disengage from the stimuli.
