  • AmyVernon, on 11/14/2008, -3/+30Totally not awesome, because I think it's horrible to think that I would have to do work in the bathroom. I do not. DO NOT take phone calls in the bathroom. They just have to freakin' wait.
  • thegrantman, on 11/15/2008, -0/+16Why use the bathroom?
    I just use the bottom drawer in the desk of the guy across from me.
    Rick Roll me again and see what happens Todd.
  • inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+15I've never understood people who take enough time in the bathroom to do stuff like this. What are you eating? I'm like 5 minutes tops.
  • deviouskoopa, on 11/15/2008, -1/+15I know, sheesh, I do enough work in the bathroom as it is...

    ;D
  • MondoPest, on 11/14/2008, -0/+10Awesome, but I think I would avoid an 'executive toilet set'. I like me toilet seats cold and ceramic.
  • RoroCo, on 11/14/2008, -0/+9OK... I'll admit it... I squat and surf every so often... I mean, it is a laptop and even though your pants are down, it is still considered a lap... right? That being said, some of these are pretty cool.
  • inactive, on 11/15/2008, -1/+8If you need a newspaper or a laptop, you spend way too much time sitting on the can. Or maybe you simply enjoy the smell of *****. Reroute the public restroom vents to your regular office.
  • lololol1, on 11/15/2008, -0/+5What happens if the sink fish die?
  • aobtd, on 11/15/2008, -1/+6thanks, but no thanks
  • inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+4Or maybe 53% of Americans just happened to receive a very ***** important call while they were in the bathroom?
  • Menoats, on 11/15/2008, -0/+4I already let surfing eat away at my sleep time, it use to be that I would lay my head down and think for a bit about the next day now I just surf till I am a zombie, I am not going to let it interfere with the one part of my day where I can think straight without any interruptions, plus this is really gross, and there isn't a normal person that would not make fun of you if they saw your bathroom like that.
  • ReDoEr, on 11/15/2008, -0/+4me too. Nothing beats a work-time ***** nap after staying up too late the night before.
  • briantw, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3"many of us do our best thinking in the bathroom. Our productivity could skyrocket..."

    Isn't the reason we can think precisely because we don't have a desktop full of gadgets in front of us? (just the one)
  • iJessicaRabbit, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2All day you'd have ***** to do
  • maximilen, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3Yah, didn't dare use the word 'restroom' in your title did you?
  • retawd, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Why is there a bullhorn next to the toilet in the last picture?
  • ch40sBr1ng3r, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Man, the last two pics are quite scary. If i walked into someone's bathroom and saw that, i wouldnt sit on it. I would politely excuse myself, and tell them that their toilet running xp has a virus.

    I liked the fish sink and toilet tho, those are stylish.
  • EonZ, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2The last pic reminds me of Home Improvement's Tool Time bathrooms they featured from time to time. Those were freakin awesome!
  • CTabuga, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3who drinks while they poop?
  • FishHammer, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2call me when toilets can project a touch screen hologram that will allow me to access Digg while also squirting warm water up my ass.
  • bipolarruledout, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2Sad but true... your not "working" unless your inundated with phone calls and e-mail all freaking day!
  • CatsAreGods, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I just while away the time reading my email and SlickDeals RSS feed on my iTouch.
  • TheScreamer, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2I find the technology of 802.11x works just fine for my "on the pot" digging.
  • linagee, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Incoming video call for Mr. PussInBoots
  • VelvetBlues, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1Wow! Now, why would anyone ever leave the bathroom? All you need now is a microwave and a flat screen...
  • inactive, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1It's a daily ritual for me. I haven't read a magazine in ages.
  • jflaker, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Receive phone call:
    Hello, this is John CEO, how may I help you?
  • flarn2006, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1http://www.allfunnypictures.com/images/office2.jpg
  • linagee, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1"IEEE 802.11x - (reserved and will not be used, can be confused with 802.1x Network Access Control)"

  • soondot, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Umm...gross?
  • zendegany, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I always get my most important work completed in the bathroom.
  • bubba9999, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I would put in a candle that smells like cookies.
  • ReyX, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2Dugg for "Loo Read".
  • soonermandan, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1hell yea! squat n' surf ftw!
  • JonnyCasino, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1Whatever you're working on in the bathroom, I wouldn't want to touch it afterwards...
  • v4vishal, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1An idea to nowhere.
  • ellecon, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1My daughter...but she's only 2 months old.
  • turkoftheplains, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2Buried for low-fiber diet.
  • wastern, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1an eeePC might be nice for the john, forget having a stack of magazines in there
  • stinkypickles, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1Burried: Should have just been "Bathroom Gadgets" instead of Bathroom gadgets to turn your bathroom into an office. Half of this stuff has NOTHING to do with office funtions at all. How does a fish toilet turn your bathroom into an office? Or a 70 inch screen? Cmon!
  • EvilPizza22, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1Dugg for "The Office" thumbnail.
  • nickceleb, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1I DIGG. Why not make use of that time spent in the bathroom? Plus, making uselfulness of the time in the bathroom makes you take your time.
  • inactive, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1You don't freshen up with toilet water? Hmm.. I wondered if I was weird.
  • SurlyDuff, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1Then you, sir, are a boor.
  • 101dotcom, on 11/16/2008, -0/+0Fish n' Flush Toilet Is too crazy
  • rowlodge, on 11/15/2008, -1/+1makes me wanna take a dump.
  • gkiltz, on 11/15/2008, -1/+0Sooo, then what do you do when you gotta go, lean out the window?
    Sooner or later, you're going to have to be around other people so you might need a shower, or even a bath at some point!
  • supferrets, on 11/15/2008, -2/+1Squatting and surfing is the way of the future.
  • maximilen, on 11/15/2008, -3/+2I prefer the term RESTROOM over bathroom.
