Mine too...I just hates when he does it to me in stores...I always get sooooo bored...

Ditto. It is time to leave to meet some friends for Sunday brunch. At 11:07 I said ok we need to leave at 11:15. It's now 11:23 and he's still in there.....

since i started replacing the bathroom reading materials with the tabloids that feature "celebrity cellulite" and "plastic surgeries gone bad" dh is in and out much quicker

It is the ONE place in the house that we can get away from our wives.

ROFL! that's an INSPIRED idea!

I can't help you there. My DH is in and out when it's potty time. No need to bring a newspaper/book etc in with him.

We go in for thought, not to chat with the others that go in with us, plus it's the only place in the house to have some quiet to read the Sports section.

I taught my kids that it's not their business what other people (male or female) do in the bathroom.

They need more fiber

, too bad it doesn't always work when we need to get away from our husbands, they bring themselves and the kiddies to hurry us along too

My friend's husband HAS to finish whatever chapter of the book he's reading. I suppose if that's your only neurosis?

What MY husband's issue is I'll never know. Half hour, every time, and ALWAYS when I say "Dinner will be ready in 5 minutes."

 

[disneyhand]

We call it the "library" at our house

Doesn't seem that comfortable to me.

OMG YES!

One day I had had an awful day. I had a headache, the kids were whining, I burnt dinner, etc. Just THAT day. SO after the kids were in bed I said 'I'm gonna go take a bath.

I light some candles, get a glass of sangria, put on Vivaldi, and grab my book. I'm relaxing in the suds and my husband comes in, sits down, and starts POOPING!

Meanwhile I have TWO other functioning bathrooms!

"Well this is the one where I like to poop" he says. I wish I was kidding when I say I almost left him right then.

We had our high school class reunion last night. I told Dh that I planned to start getting ready at 3:30. At 3:25, he goes in to our bathroom (we have two other also), and...let's just say when he came out, the bathroom was unusable for quite some time, making me late to the reunion.

I can't get him to use the other two bathrooms, even though they are downstairs, near "his" den, and aren't being used that much since DD went to college.

When I hear him say, "I'll be in my office"....I know it'll be a while before we see him again. But when I do venture in there afterwards, for some reason there's always junk mail in the wastebasket and sometimes a couple snack bags of M&M's Tell me.....who in their right mind eats while in the bathroom?

 

[PatsMom]

My husband is not a bathroom reader so he is in and out pretty quick. At work, however, it is a different story. We have three men who all disappear regularly with the newspaper or a magazine. And only two bathrooms for 10 people and any clients who are there! We all want to know how one person has himself trained to go at exactly 7:05 every morning - he arrives at 7, turns on his computer and disppears with the newspaper!

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

Not me... in and out as fast as I can. I doubt I have EVER spent more than 15 minutes inside the bathroom as an adult..... now, my wife can EASILY spend up to an hour depending on the day.
