42% Text in the Bathroom
When I was in high school, there was a song called “Smoking in the Boys’ Room.” 
Today, however, it’s all about texting in the boys (or girls) room.
According to iGR, women are 8% more likely to make a phone call from the bathroom and 5% more likely to send a text message from the bathroom.
And, for the pointless statistic of the day, 42% of Americans have sent a text message from the bathroom.
It is not known if those texting in the bathroom have participated in mobile marketing or commodal marketing.

We’ve all done it. I’ve read statistics that state up to 59% of mobile users text in the bathroom. I’d be curious to know the percentage of users who replace their phones due to dropping them in the toilet - gotta be a connection there, aye? But it’s definitely better than texting while driving!
