Survey Finds Many Americans Work on the Toilet

by Darren Murph on October 21, 2008 at 04:56 PM


We already know that a solid chunk of Britons use mobile internet while in the throes of passion, and now Captain Obvious (today known as Nokia) has awkwardly landed to tell the world that Americans do too. A recent survey, which we can only imagine was absolutely thrilling to conduct, found that some 53-percent of working Americans "have been interrupted by a work-related phone call or e-mail while in the bathroom." Furthermore, some 23-percent have allowed a call / e-mail to interrupt them while on a date, but that's probably because 59-percent of those polled never, ever turn off their mobile.

Just think -- the next time your buddy answers with a hint of stress in his / her voice, there's a statistically significant chance that you're barging in on some seriously personal business.
