I have brought my phone into the bathroom (not shower) exactly twice, in my entire life.. and both times it was because I was expecting a vitally important call, and could not wait for the call to come before getting in the shower.

I can not imagine the necessity of regularly taking your phone into the goddamn shower itself

You take it out of your pants pocket before entering the bathroom?

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

No, I dont walk around my house with my phone in my pocket.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

I don't either but I often use the bathroom after coming back home from outside, and the phone is still in my pocket at least then.

And so at work?

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't regularly shower at work

[–] PurpleClouds@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You said bathroom hence my confusion

[–] boonhet@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Unless they use bathroom as the term for the room where you wash yourself not the toilet.

Someone saw the movie Jexi.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've never even heard of the word Jexi.
