Texting from the toilet.
A new study finds an astonishing number of people are using their cellphones on them.
A marketing agency surveyed a thousand people, and from web browsing to conference calls, 75 percent of them admitted they used their cell phones while on the can.
Here's the gross part!
While 92 percent said they washed their hands after, only 14 percent washed their phones!
The study also shows: Generation Y'ers use their phones the most in the restroom.
Alright, time to fess up: do you -- or have you ever -- used your phone while on the toilet?
