What are your bathroom quirks if any?

Geez, I was practically born for this question:
1) For a long time I had to be completely naked to sit on the can. I wouldn’t feel comfortable unless I stripped.
2) If someone is within earshot, I will turn on the water or shower. I’m very much like a cat, I like to slip in and out without leaving a trace.
3) I always have to be reading something. Anything. I will read the bottle of toothpaste if I have to.
4) I avoid public restrooms like the plague for many of the above, but also because it makes me get in a slightly awkward position cause my snausage keeps hitting the bowl. D:

Freud would have a field day with me.

@sinscriven Awesome answer.

Toilet paper rolls over, not under.
If yours changes directions, it’s because I was there ; )

I am a very efficient showerer. I get wet, lather up, brush my teeth, shave, pee and rinse and repeat all while standing in the shower.
I’m always sparkly clean all over when I step out of there.

@sinscriven I used to have to strip when I was younger for some odd reason too.
@EnchantingEla Lol I always flip toilet paper over too if I see it the other way. It drives me fuckin mad. For a while me and a roommate had a constant battle going on with flipping the toilet paper one way or another. :P

I find pictures in the marble tile patterns while I sit there. Mostly what I see is anatomical.

@mazingerz88 You’re details are the cutest! You gave me a good laugh :)

I used to bring my homework in with me sometimes.

@Ayesha Thanks. But what gave me a good laugh as well was @sinscriven‘s first line, “Geez, I was practically born to answer this question.” LMFAO.

When showering I often think my penis looks like an elephant with a heavy cold.
With his dripping “trunk” & hanging “ears”, a dab or two with a warm towel makes him all better again….ahem, yeah err, carry on.

Bwahahaha

@ucme Well thank you for that elephant image now imprinted on my brain! Don’t you mean to say elephant with a cold wearing a lion’s mane? Lol.

tmi! tmi!!

@mazingerz88 Hmm, wet pubes atop an elephants head, looks rather like Michael Jackson’s bubble perm more than a lion, but there you go.

I have dermatillomania, it’s part of my OCD, and the bathroom is brightly lit which makes it the perfect place for that sort of habit.
I never read on the toilet. I can’t really understand how people can find time to read, since I’m usually only sitting there for 30 seconds at a time.

angry birds. quick rounds, not a big time commitment!

@tweetingreen If I bring in my iPad to play Angry Birds in there, that would surely lead to all sorts of epic crusty situations. Lol.

What are Angry Birds?

When the soap wears down to a very thin slice I squeeze it onto a new bar of soap so it becomes part of the new bar. That way no soap is wasted.

Oh, that’s another good one. I Fluther and play Words With Friends from the bathtub on a regular basis.

Came to this Q out of curiousity. I don’t think I am very quirky in the bathroom. I rarely sit on the pot for a long time, I just do my thing and go. My showers and baths are average time I think? The only thing I can think of is when I get out of the shower I dry a little and then put on a robe. I sit around for a while, I call it my “drying time” drives my husband crazy, just let what traces of water are on me soak into the robe or air dry. It annoys my husband I don’t dry off well with a bath towel and start getting ready fast. While I sit in the robe I might watch some TV, or put on my make-up, eventually dry my hair.

I agree toilette paper over.

Hour long hot soaks in the whirlpool tub. Candles, etc… Kind of like my own spa.
One bathroom is large enough that it has a treadmill in it. Kind of like a mini gym.

I do laundry and shower at the same time (washer/dryer in bathroom – the heat from the dryer warms up the bathroom on wintry mornings), and watch videos/read emails on the can. My Kindle is in there pretty often, too. I do stretches and brush my teeth in the shower, and then moisturize all over and throw on a big bathrobe… seeing the above responses, I guess these things aren’t that unusual.

I don’t mind peeing in the shower or washing my butt while on the toilet.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Ah ha ha ha…I love it!

I used to have to strip to crap, I used to sit backwards on the crapper to pee (transgendered and bitter about not being able to pee like a boy), pee in the shower (once heard 75% of the population pees in the shower), I too must have the tp roll OVER and not under, reading like a fiend when droppin a hot one, talk to people that have passed on that I miss, talk to “God”, talk to myself (self coaching), Learning to pee 3 feet away from myself in the shower to feel more like a man, cover my entire head (and sometimes torso) in shaving cream (for fun and cuz Helouise says it unclogs pores)... I’m sure there is more, but this is all that comes to mind for now.

I like drawing skulls and inverted crosses on the fogged up mirror.

And I mean after my shower, it doesn’t fog up when I take a dump. Well, sometimes…

@Simone_De_Beauvoir @worriedguy Peeing in the shower? I have been led to believe this was frowned upon deviant type behaviour, particularly for those of the female persuasion. Not that I am condemning such a heinous act but just that I was led to believe I was sinning. I mean, that it was just not done!

Body wash, shampoo, soap, face scrub etc. are all interchangeable. It doesn’t really matter as long as it gets me clean.

I have a fully loaded bookshelf in my bathroom and refer to it as the upstairs library. Is that odd?

Sitting down for #1…

Not all the time, but I have been in the habit of it recently. :\

@sinscriven Your answer is SO fantastic. When my older brother was little he would always get naked to go to the bathroom too, and he would want my mom to put his clothes in the oven so they were warm when he was done. And he would sing patriotic songs. haha….the man knew what was up.

I am sorry I missed this question the first time around. Its fantastic and I now will be pondering my bathroom quirks all night.
