Long long before the internet and portable computing devices I remember how I (and most people) would reach for whatever was closest to hand during long bathroom breaks.
If you were lucky there would be magazines (Readers Digest being common) or maybe a book or even a mail order catalog.
If you weren't lucky then you'd reach for a shampoo bottle and read the ingredients out of boredom.
Kids these days etc..

- ignorantguy 6y agoI so relate to this. If I dont have my phone while at bathroom break, I will read the contents of shampoo bottle or something else.
- Yhippa 6y agoI used to have a basket of magazines. This was probably one of my favorite things to read though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Bathroom_Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Bathroom_Book.
- anamexis 6y agoI used to be quite familiar with the extensive offerings of Uline.
- astkaasa 6y agoI did the same thing at the dining table, reaching for whatever I can grab, a tin can for example, and read the paper indicating its contents and recipes. Nowadays the smartphone is dominating.
