    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?

          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.

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