Most of us do it regularly—we’re about to be sitting on the toilet, so we whip out our phones.
The phones come everywhere with us, and have long since replaced newspapers and books as the main reading choice while in the bathroom.
If you have a few minutes, it seems only natural to check the latest sports scores, see if you have any new messages, or play a quick game.
But it’s actually a really bad idea.
When you flush the toilet, water with feces and urine sprays about six feet in every direction.
