Toilet Surfing Office Workers

by Tom Conlon on May 25, 2007 at 10:29 AM

Why is it suddenly so hard to find a free bathroom stall at work? Well, it's not the new chili recipe in the cafeteria -- it's the Internet! According to a new survey of 2,000 people by T-Mobile and YouGov, 26 percent of office workers are blocked from accessing the Web at work, which has led to many people bringing their Web-capable cell phones with them to the john.

The survey found that 23 percent of workers are banned from using social networking Web sites, 11 percent are blocked from using Web-based e-mail and seven percent are even cut off from Google. On their cell phone browsers, however, they're free to go where they please.

But, c'mon, the office bathroom? That's a place for napping, not surfing.
