Do you think this is a strange place for a clock

[goofyernmost]

If you don't want to be using a 7+ year old phone, yes!

Your missing the point. Why carry around a phone when all you have to do is look up to see a clock. How dependent do we have to be on phones. On top of that I don't have a clock in my bathroom anymore it is just the concept that we need to be umbilical corded to a damn phone. Yes, I have an updated phone, but I only use it for communication. The rest of life I can handle on my own. We are so attached to our phones now that we use it as an excuse to not think for ourselves and look at the mess we are in now. Todays phones are terrific and allow us to have a window to all possibilities and yet we use it to prevent from looking up to a wall to see what time it is.

You missed the joke, hence the smiley I placed in the response. Should you bring your cell phone into the shower with you? Probably not. Can you safely bring a modern cell phone into the shower with you? Yes.

As to looking at a phone vs looking at a wall to see the time, I don't see one as being better than the other. You seem to be placing the blame for a lot of the wrongs you see in today's society on cell phones. Technology has been transforming society since the very beginning of time.

Sorry I misread your smiley but I interpret the smiley face as just a calming friendly type reply. A joke is the winking smiley. But you do have to understand that in spite of my appreciation of technology, I think that as a society we overdue our dependence and obsession with that technology.

I skimmed, but was it explained why the clock is above the toilet where he can't see it?

I typically sit Nose-Out when using the toilet, and wouldn't be able to see the clock above the toilet. If he sits Nose-In, that's entirely his business, I'm sure.

I guess to me it doesn't matter if I can see a clock from a toilet. If you are on the toilet you are going to finish up your business no matter what time it is !
If I need to go I need to go. Doesn't matter the time.

I think I will try that later today!

We have two clocks in our bathroom. One above the door (which is the one I use the most) and a 'decorative' one on a shelf with hand towels, so no, I don't think the placement of your clock is strange. Sometimes you just wanna know what time it is. And as a man, if he had to turn his head, his aim could be compromised.

 

[mrodgers]

I’ve never in my life needed one in the bathroom. Never spent that much time in there.
Especially needing to see it from a toilet - that’s so gross and so weird.

I have to ask, what is gross about knowing what time it is when you're on a toilet? Or is moving your eyes to look at a clock the gross part? I really do want to know.

This reminds me of a time when I went to a party where a few college aged women lived together in a house. They had set a mirror up over the toilet so one could do her makeup there, while another roommate was doing her makeup with the mirror over the sink. At the party, all the guys mentioned having to pee while seeing themselves in the mirror and how weird that was.

A restaurant in Pittsburgh, well the men's room with urinals, the urinals are lined up along the wall on the other side of the bar. It's one way glass so you are standing there doing your thing looking out at the bar and the bartenders running around right in front of you, LOL. It was way weird. Jerome Bettis' Grille 36 near Heinz Field (or Azricure or whatever stadium weird name they just renamed it as, LOL) and PNC Park.

Not my picture...

These are upscale steakhouse restaurant chains in the USA.

From what I understand, Ruth Chris is upscale in price. Coworker had a $100 gift card and said it still cost him twice what Texas Roadhouse would have cost, and Texas Roadhouse was far better food.

If we're nose-in, we're not sitting

When we remodeled we put clocks over the doors of both main bathrooms where they are visible from the entire bathroom including the shower and toilet. Water and watches aren't a good combination so I don't wear my watch in the bathroom. Our third bathroom is really just a powder room, no clock in that bathroom'

We have clocks over our bathroom doors as well.

Ruth's Chris is expensive enough that I've never been there. I love Texas Roadhouse!

I'd take a Ruth's Chris filet over any steak at Texas Roadhouse any day (well except for the salad - love TR house salad).

I said sitting, not standing. Sitting is when your eye is going to find something to occupy itself, hence the clock. If you're standing....

We have clock/radio in our bathrooms. I like to listen to music or local news for traffic and weather while I'm getting ready in the morning. Nothing in the powder room.

South Park already did this episode and made a decent case for why it might be better to face nose-in.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I find it to be remarkably strange.

I can agree that not everyone wants or needs a clock in the bathroom but it’s very odd to me that anyone would find it weird, much less gross. It’s a clock, not a power tool. Clocks are pretty useful in every room.

Don't you love when it all just comes together like that?
