This idea that everyone uses their phone while on the toilet is disgusting and a reddit meme. Everyone on that site is posting while they take a shit. It's pretty much a perfect allegory.
Using the bathroom is one of those blessed times where I don’t have to look at a fucking screen. No one can take that from me.
My bathroom light routes audio from my computer when I hit the lightswitch so using the phone is optional but when I do it is set phone on towel rack, wash hands, retrieve phone, flush.
I find it pretty repulsive as well. Our phones are already dirty as they are, why would you keep exposing them to fecal particles regularly? Also, imagine if you dropped your phone in the bowl before you flushed. Disgusting.
And similar to what Trope said, it's a small period of time in your day where it is truly just you and your thoughts.
