World Toilet Day!!

Today is World Toilet Day, and here’s a random stat for you.  In a recent poll, 12% of men admit to watching MOVIES while on the toilet.  That’s more than DOUBLE the number of women who watch movies on the toilet.

I assume this is on a mobile device, although if you do it regularly, maybe you have a more elaborate set-up.  In the poll, these movies were described as “guilty pleasures” with cheesy action scenes and slapstick comedy.

It’s unclear how many people watch FULL movies in the bathroom.
