America’s obsession with smart phones has come to a head.
Approximately 75% of people take their cell phones into the bathroom with them, according to a survey by the marketing agency 11Mark.
Out of 1,000 people polled, 87% of Android users admitted to talking, texting, or surfing the web while in the restroom, reports MobileBurn.com.
BlackBerry and iPhone users were also unlikely to part with their phones just because nature called.
According to the survey, BlackBerry users are most likely to answer (75%) or make (48%) a call, while iPhone users are most likely to participate in social networking (52%) or to use an app (57%).
Not only are we addicted to our cellphones, some people literally won’t go, literally, without it.
About 30% of men, and 20% of women say that they won't go to the bathroom without phone in hand.
While people of all ages are guilty, it’s mostly the younger set that’s guilty of toilet tweeting.
An astonishing 91% of those born between 1977 tand 1993 admit to using their phones while seated in the bathroom stall.
No wonder cell phones are havens for germs.
According to Mashable.com, 16% of cell phones have fecal matter on them.
