Tinkling Talkers & Texters

According to a recent survey, about 75% of the participants admitted to using their cell phones while in the bathroom. The survey, "IT in the Toilet" was conducted by 11Mark, a Marketing company. 1,000 Americans were surveyed and asked about their bathroom cell phone habits. Android users were the most likely to use their phones in the bathroom, followed by Blackberry and iPhone users. According to the survey, 63% of the participants have received a call while using the bathroom, and 41% have placed a call. Blackberry users stated they used the bathroom while talking the most. Android and iPhone users were most likely to use social networking sites or use an app while in the bathroom. The survey also indicated that more men than women stated that they couldn't go to the bathroom without their device. Although not part of the survey, it's easy to understand how and why users drop their phones in the toilet.
