Bathroom tile activities
Jul. 17th, 2017 06:36 pmI'm wondering what other people do when they're sitting on the toilet in a bathroom with a tiled floor.
I have various "games" (not games in the usual sense obviously, really they're what Tom Vasel would call "activities") I play while I'm sitting on the toilet, staring at the floor tiles. A common one is imagining a ray of light, moving diagonally, passing through the light-colored tiles and bouncing off the dark-colored ones.
I don't think I've ever really spoken about this before except once -- it was the summer of 2013, and I was talking to Angus and Patrycja, and... I don't remember whether I mentioned that I do this and Angus said "oh, I do that too", or it was the other way around, but basically it was a case of, yeah, we both do that (the light ray thing, specifically). Patrycja on the other hand said she never does anything like that. ("Didn't anyone ever teach you how to use a toilet?", I joked.) So I'm wondering who else does this and what their rules are specifically.
What follows are the ones I do. I'm putting this below a cut since I'm guessing most people won't care.
( Cut for pointless boring detail )
So: What games, if any, do you play with bathroom floor tiles?
