Toilet Surfing Office Workers
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.

You are a dumb-a$$ backwards A-h0le for still using the 15th century male name "John" as a substitute for toilet. Get a clue, loser.

You are a dumb-a55 backwards d1ck face for caring if someone calls it a "john".
What are you a 5th grade teacher?

Now, Jim~
Be careful about YOUR stereotyping and name calling . . .
I am one of those "fifth-grade teachers." Chill & chuckle -- word play makes for punny moments!

KLW, you cracked me up! Hey, so as to not offend anyone, how about what we called it in the Marines? The "head" or what the Army calls it, a "latrine." Now how are either of those offensive? I ams ure someone is bound to take offense. BTW, what does the Air Force call them?
