Here's what's going on in the bathroom... -- 42 percent read newspapers, books or catalogs. -- 22 percent have conversations with another person either inside the bathroom or just outside the door. -- 16 percent talk on the phone. -- 17 percent sing in the shower. Finally, the scariest stat of all: Only 45 percent of college-age adults wash their hands after using the bathroom.
