Is it normal to eat in the bathroom?

Growing up, my family always ate in the bathroom. I mean, we didn't seek it out or anything, it's just that if we felt inclined to do it for the sake of convenience, we would. It was never a big deal. I always knew it was odd, but I was simply too embarrassed to bring it up with my friends.

I have since passed this habit down to my kids, who in turn have finally persuaded their mother accept it (which was no easy task -- they were born into such things; she was not).

And really, the story of how my wife relates to this is interesting; I told her of it and for the longest time she just wouldn't let me live it down. Practically the next day, I look over to see her buck-ass naked, eating tacos on the john.

What are your thoughts? Yay or nay? Personally I find it hard to believe that it's that uncommon; I'm inclined to believe that everyone has done it once or twice throughout their lives, for whatever reasons. And no, I do not intend to stop. Ever. Although I do confess that I'm tired of finding pancakes in the shower.

    Haha. For whatever reason, this story made me smile. It was probably the bit about your wife.

    When I was about 11 at school I would often eat my packed lunch in the bathrooms because I was far too socially anxious to go to the hall where everyone else ate, or to eat outside where people could see me. I spent the whole hour of lunch break locked up in the toilets. God, that was depressing :P

    I've literally eaten chocolate whilst crapping and I've drank lemonade whilst peeing.

    I recommend this weirdo experience to anyone just to say they did it.

    Is it normal to occasionally walk into the bathroom while finishing something you were eating? A sandwhich a donut etc. Yes, but to bring a full course meal into the bathroom while using the john or shower is just plain unheard of. Sorry my friend not normal in my book.

      I like to rub my lunch against the urinal - makes it softer and more flavoursome ! And kinda hot too !!

    Okay, that's just nasty. Do you realize how unhygienic this is?

    Your whole family? How big was your bathroom? It's not like you can't eat somewhere else right?

    I'm going with, nay.

    Eating is supposed to be a mindful activity. We are supposed to do it for sustenance and, as Americans-- who have access to lots of food and lots of variety-- we should appreciate what we eat as we eat it.

    I lead a very busy life, and have caught myself eating in the car (not ideal), but the bathroom seems dirty and the idea that a person might be so busy that they can't sit down and have a quick bite outside the bathroom is kind of, well, disturbing. However, like the fellow named CosmoWank said, it's better than the opposite...

    I eat breakfast in the bathroom while I use the hair dryer. It really saves time!

    I think you've missed the point of eating in the can. It's supposed to be a weight loss method. You're supposed to just throw the food into the toilet, thereby eliminating eliminating the middleman.

    No worries until you know that what you're eating is safe..
    It is uncommon but not too strange. I mean I know so many people who have confessed that they do it.
