Please don’t ask me why, but part of my job involves perusing plumbing trade magazines. That’s how I came across this little number. Highlights (I read them so you don’t have to):
“Over a seven-year period, the average person spends nearly 90,000 minutes, or more than 62 days, using the toilet seat. The average person uses it for about 35 minutes in a single day.”
“According to a survey conducted by Opinion Research Corp., 76% of a nationwide sample of more than 1,000 adults admitted to inspecting their friends’ toilets.”
I think they left out the fact that the survey was apparently given only to plumbers.
