no it's just wrong to be surfing the web on the crapper
But why is it wrong? What's the difference between reading a book or magazine on the toilet as opposed to a digital device like a ds? Germs are germs and they don't discriminate.
At the end of the day if you don't wash your hands afterwards (preferably before the end of the day) then you only have yourself to blame. Don't forget your keyboard or mouse isn't free of germs either. In fact it's crawling with them. And people usually snack at the computer. I know I do.
As for ettiquette, you're only posting in a forum, not having a video/voice conversation. Even instant messaging is OK. It's not like the other person knows where you are and even if they do they can only blame their own vivid imagination.
I could be having a wank right now while typing this, which I assure you I'm not but you see, I've already created the mental image and you go ooh yuck or maybe a small percentage of sicko members out there are getting turned on and jacking off themselves but it's basically just perception people.
People talk and text on the toilet all the time, it's now the norm like using a mobile phone (cellar) while driving and at least it's not illegal. It is common courteousy, though, to cover the speaker when you squeeze out a big one so the other person won't hear the plop!
As for fears of dropping your device into the toilet, where the hell are you sitting? Are you a midget size leprechaun with his feet dangling over the bowl? And if you're stupid enough to hold the device over the toilet then you're just asking for trouble and you shouldn't be allowed to wipe your bum in the first place.
