Are people constipated? Is that why they have all this free time in the bathroom?
Some people don't need to/feel like rushing life and can take their time to use the bathroom.

#22”Public restrooms are not at all restful when it comes to the battleground of modern manners.” I agree and would add that even private bathrooms are non restful if you live with someone. That’s why I’m launching Loodio - A music player for bathrooms that plays music during your bathroom visit automatically thanks to a motion detector.

How hard would it be to add a heat sensor? My motion sensing lights shut off all the time because scrolling my phone is not enough motion to keep them activated whilst multitasking in the loo.

We are going to look into this for the next version and perhaps combine the pir-sensor with a proximity sensor. (You can’t use proximity only since people walking by the bathroom will also trigger it) but in the current version this is instead solved by letting the user adjust the time it will play since last motion detected, and the side lights (acts as night lights during night) also indicate when the music is about to turn off so you don’t get a quiet surprise ;)
I have tested this myself for a year and it works great.
There are some features so that you can have it playing without the need for motion if you know you’re going to spend a longer time in the bathroom without moving (for example showering/bathing).

#24Long long before the internet and portable computing devices I remember how I (and most people) would reach for whatever was closest to hand during long bathroom breaks. If you were lucky there would be magazines (Readers Digest being common) or maybe a book or even a mail order catalog. If you weren't lucky then you'd reach for a shampoo bottle and read the ingredients out of boredom. Kids these days etc..
I used to be quite familiar with the extensive offerings of Uline.

Does it also play music during urination?

Yes. But easily muted with 1 button press if you don’t want music this bathroom visit. (Then jumps back again to music for the next person)

I did the same thing at the dining table, reaching for whatever I can grab, a tin can for example, and read the paper indicating its contents and recipes.
Nowadays the smartphone is dominating.
