In any case, I don't see how once can find a comfortable position on the toilet. You can't lean back, too much room to the sides, lean forward and you'll probably fall off eventually. 😕

what you can do is, instead of facing the door turn around and face the tank. it doesn't feel too bad and you can use the tank as an arm/head rest. its more comfortable if you are sitting on the toilet cover.

The tank gets pissed on sometimes, you know. :disgust:

So does the toilet seat, the floor in front of the toilet and hell...god knows what else.
 
Had a roommate that passed out on the toilet once but no, never took a nap. Usually to busy pushing a big turd out of my anus.

the floor behind the toilet is where its nasty... im not facing the other way... FVCK no. Not even in my own bathroom.
 
I nap all the time. My jobs usually have old 50's/60's style toilets, which are massive. Tall and spacey, your legs dangle when you sit on them. I put the cover down, edge myself into the corner against the wall, and sleep for 1-2 hours. It's not the best sleep but you do get those warp phases where you shut your eyes and open them and it's 50 minutes past. Makes the day go by a bit faster.

Sometimes if I know the janitor just cleaned a washroom I will bring a gym mat up and lay it down on the floor and pass out, but whenever I do that I feel pretty bad about myself.
 
And yes you do lose feeling in legs if you sit on the toilet withou the cover down. There is not a lot of space for weight distribution and it digs into your hams cutting off circulation.
 
sometimes the tip of the third leg touches the rim, I hate when that happens, especially when the rim is full of 9 wires.... 6 months later...
 
I never did, but a co-worker came back from a lengthy bathroom break one day with a huge red circle on his forehead. He made the mistake of putting his head down on his arm where he wore a watch. Took about an hour to disappear. Years later he still gets razzed about it.
 
I tried, especially when going in the morning. You never quite fall asleep. It's like sleeping at school. No matter how tired I am, I can put my head down for an hour, but I force myself to stay awake so no one feels me up...

I remember back in elementary school I would go to take a crap during class (with the teacher's permission, of course). I would usually take 10 minutes and the teacher would send some idiot to come down to the bathroom and see if I was ok. I just kept thinking to myself, "can't a man crap in peace?"



Most of us were still kids back in elementary school.

 
So no one's afraid of falling in if they nod off on the can... I role arund in bed, I'd hate to unconsciously shift into the shape that puts me through the hole.
 
Never have at work.

I've been so drunk and/or sick in the past at home that I've slept on the toilet, but I was able to lay my head on the counter next to me and put a hand towel under it 😛


If I'm really tired at work I'll just eat something at my desk and use my hour lunch to take a name in my car.
