LOL, Sorry Peeps, I guess it's not that you read in the loo it's just that you leave your reading material in there for other people to see! My husband reads in the loo but he has to pack it in and pack it out if you know what I mean! 

didn't even realise that other people did rinse until I joined this forum )!

We let our Labrador lick them clean, that way there's no need to wash them at all.

OK, this one really gets to me. I just think it's so disgusting when people read on the toilet! I obviously have never seen them in action doing this (thank god!) but I've been to peoples houses and go to use the bathroom and there is stacks of magazines and books in there! BARF!

I lent a book to a friend, and she asked to keep it so her husband could read it. I was over at their place the other night, and noticed it was in the loo. Yeah, I don't think I really want it back anymore.

I think it is kind of nice to have a pile of mags or a couple of books in the loo actually but only if you have a shelf or somewhere to keep them ... not piled on the loo cistern.  Plus I would keep those books only for the loo, not anywhere else.

I kind of like it too, but DH is so disgusted by the mere thought of it, that I wouldn't even suggest it. But a lot of my friends and relations have a loo bookshelf and I think it's pretty handy!

It's the best place to read your Reader's Digest!

That's just sick and wrong! I mean at least use your own book not loaners. Hope you wont mind letting that book go Kate.  

I once saw a loo entirely fitted with bookshelves, like a proper library. Pretty funny. I can't imagine damp from the shower did the books any good, though.

I detest the use of emoticons to inject pathos or humour or sarcasm into material. If it cannot stand alone it should not be shored up with scaffolding.

Moving on, Jupy, it sounds to me rather as if you have some "issues" around lavatories?

While we are on the subject of bathrooms, I'd add public bathrooms.  We all know public bathrooms are notorious, but I'm talking about even office communal toilets!  People become savages whenever they are in a public toilet I've come to the conclusion. And of course, I mean this worldwide.  I am always left wondering as I wash my hands in boiling water which of my smartly dressed colleagues in this "professional environment" did any number of the following things:

(some of the following could be TMI as a heads up)


-pee on the seat
-not flush
-tear up tp and leave it sprinkled around te base of the toilet... building a nest I presume?!?
-leave female Auntie Flo products, used, ON THE DAMN FLOOR.
-wipe boogers on the stall walls
-leave twisted bits of tp with suspicious substances on the ends of them on the floor   

And I'm sure we all have one or two we could add.

colleagues in this "professional environment"

I am aware of senior managers who do not wash their hands after peeing and then expect their colleagues to handle the paperwork they have just smeared with willy germs.

I think I begin to understand what Jupy is getting at...

I wouldn't say I have an issue, I just think it's gross! The Thread is titled "things that gross you out" and it does gross me out. Saying I have issues is a bit much don't you think. Now the part I find sick and wrong is using somebody else's book. Everytime that toilet is flushed feces particles go floating about and I don't want anybody's poo on my book. That's all no issue!

I'll add wet door knobs (you never know if it's just water or...you know)
