Ladies, just in case you are losing your plot over your boyfriend?or husband spending hours in the loo, there's scientific evidence that these guys are doing it to escape responsibilities! A new study found that men found they spend a total of seven hours a year in the bathroom 每 just for brief respite. Researchers who polled a 1000 British men found that they also escape to the toilet when their other half is &nagging* them - or to avoid the kids.

The research also found one in 10 visits to the bathroom are interrupted on average 每 that*s 171 during the course of a typical year. The Mirror UK quotes a spokesman as saying, ※We all need a little bit of time to ourselves - to take stock or switch off completely. And the bathroom appears to be the go-to place for those moments 每 it*s very much a sanctuary, somewhere we can cut ourselves off from the outside world, albeit just temporarily."
25 per cent of men said if they couldn*t escape to the bathroom from time to time they "don*t know how they*d cope." For a third, going to the bathroom is the only way they can get any time to themselves.
