No, I dont walk around my house with my phone in my pocket.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

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.

And so at work?

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't regularly shower at work

[–] PurpleClouds@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You said bathroom hence my confusion

[–] boonhet@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago

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