Fun Freetime - Survey: Bathrooms as an Escape

The bathroom has become more than just a functional space, it's increasingly serving as America's unofficial escape room.

 

A new survey from Midwest Plumbing finds that 64% of Americans intentionally spend extra time in the bathroom just to enjoy peace and quiet, while 61% spend extra time in the bathroom beyond what is necessary at least once a day.

 

• On average, Americans spend 38 minutes in the bathroom every day
• 39% admit to going to the bathroom to avoid other people (31% of men, 46% of women)
• 84% of Americans bring their phone into the bathroom, spending an average of 9 minutes on their phone per bathroom visit

 

The survey also explores plumbing maintenance: 22% admit they have ignored a bathroom plumbing problem hoping it would go away.
