What do you do when you sit on the toilet (apart from the obvious)? Do you read a newspaper or a magazine? Take your time, is it healthy to sit too long or is it a bad thing to rush too much? Is it 'common' (vulgar) to read on the toilet? Personally I usually play chess on my mobile phone. If I want to know where the toilet is in a public place, I often ask where the 'bathroom' is, like what Yanks do; I just think it sounds nicer.
