So where do you stand, uh, sit?
Ever think of bathroom statistics -- stupid bathroom statistics? For whatever reason, I had this thought this morning while stumbling to the bathroom at 5:30. I guess I had too much water before I went to bed.
54% of Americans fold their paper neatly while 35% wad it into a ball. I fold it.
60% of Americans prefer the paper over the top, 29% under. The rest don’t care. I prefer it over and, in fact, will change it if I find it otherwise.
50/50: Americans who wipe front to back or back to front. It does have something to do with whether you have inner parts or outer parts (woman or man). Most men wipe back to front, whereas women wipe front to back. I wipe back to front.
Also, how you wipe may also depend on whether you wipe standing up or sitting down. Standing up? I can’t imagine, but I guess a lot of people do it. Because I wipe sitting down, that may be why I wipe back to front.
Other things to consider: do you examine the contents of the toilet before flushing? Do you put toilet paper in the toilet first to prevent splashing? Do you use toilet seat covers while in public restrooms? Take the Bathroom Survey to answer these and other questions about bathroom habits.
How smart are you? Apparently we can tell by whether you read while on the toilet or not. More than two thirds of those with graduate degrees read while on the can, 56% with a bachelor’s do the same. Only one in two with high school degrees read while relaxing on the throne. I read, sometimes.
And did you know this? A lot of men sit to pee. I do this only when I awake from sleep to go pee. I am generally too tired to aim or it’s too dark to aim and I don’t want to turn the light on.
So there you have it. More than you ever wanted to know about my bathroom habits, and maybe more thought to your own than you ever thought you’d give. Nonetheless, it makes you think, and if you’ve read this far, you probably learned something new. See, it was worth it after all.
