    Not gonna lie, I want this.

  2. RazerMuffin says:

    With all the sexuality in today’s pop culture, employers are making it easier to fap in the restroom.

  3. Noah says:

    Um, that’s a phone line not an Ethernet jack. =P

  4. Anodean says:

    Yes, people used to talk on the phone while in the toilet even before there were cell phones. *sigh*

  5. cwg says:

    Obviously the connection to the recycling center of the office.

  6. Eric says:

    Funny enough, I have a phone jack in my bathroom. I didn’t put it there. It was there when I got here…

  7. yolanda says:

    I dunno, this isn’t a kludge. If I still had the wires strung I’d show you MY kludge, which was a series of cat5 cables with rj45 ends joined by adapters to run across the ceiling via cup hooks from the router in the dressing room, down the hall, over the transom vent, and across the plumbing pipes in the bathroom ceiling so that I could plug in a laptop from there. I’d set the pc on a step stool beside the tub and internet away while soaking in bubbles. THAT was a bathroom computer kludge! This? It’s actually IN the wall with a proper plate!

    • stiggy says:

      thats my sort of kludge

    • Captain Video says:

      My God. You’re actually proud of that, aren’t you?

    • Kay Schmidt says:

      My first thought: but what if it fell into tub with you? I’ve listened to a lot of those safety adverts.
      I’m glad it didn’t fall in with you!

      • Jimbob says:

        Not much dangerous would happen, unless the power block with the mains lead fell in as well…

        And presumably she runs it from battery anyway.

        • yolanda says:

          Yeah, the biggest problem would have been the damage to the laptop but as it never was over the water, but beside the tub, I just had to be careful to keep my hands dry. I still use the laptop in the tub, but have wifi now. it’s so much more convenient.

    • karhell says:

      Indeed, that’s not much of a kludge.
      Everything’s done by the book — the wires are in the wall, the plate is screwed in properly, the wallpaper conceals any plaster work on the wall, and no duct tape seems to be involved — it just seems a little out of place for the layman.

      To be honest, I was actually thinking about doing something similar at home…

  8. waldo says:

    A true multi-task office.

  9. Cainam says:

    Not a kludge. Telephones in the bathroom in upscale houses used to be very common. The idea wasn’t that you could talk and poo at the same time, the phone was only there so you could hear the ringer.

  10. Doug says:

    That’s just a typical phone jack in a hotel bathroom. Many hotels have phones in the bathroom as a safety measure.

  11. rewboss says:

    Hey, I’ve run out of toilet paper. Could you fax me something?

  12. Orwellian says:

    I am SO not working on his laptop!

  13. Bilbo says:

    Probably for old folks. My wife’s grandpa has one in his bathroom at assisted living. Knock it off the hook and they send the calvary.

  14. Bethany says:

    When staying with a disabled friend in a handicapped accessible hotel room, they had phones in the bathroom, just in case someone with limited abilities needed help. Not so much a kludge.

  15. Alleycat says:

    “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!!”

  16. sergeydgr8 says:

    Here’s the whole story behind all of this:
    I was in a robotics competition in Portland, OR in the first week of March 2010. It was the FIRST NW Robotics compeition and we had to stay in a hotel overnight, a Marriot as far as I remember. So into the bathroom I go in, and I see this ethernet port right next to the toilet (by the way, snookie’s comment earlier made me LOL). This ethernet port was probably built in to the wall a long time ago, because the hotel did have WiFi.

  17. Dogmeat says:

    Want to get in touch with fun and exciting people who have something in common with what you’re doing right now? Tired of sitting on your throne just thinkin’ and stinkin’ with no one to talk to? Well, you don’t have to drop the kids off at the pool alone anymore! You can be a part of the nation’s hottest potty line! Dial 1-800-LIGHT-A-MATCH from your bathroom phone line right now!!

  18. Brett Thomas says:

    I mean, heck, if Elvis had one of those, he might still be alive, today!

  19. RCGD says:

    I always knew telemarketers spewed crap from both ends… I just didn’t know it was at the same time…

  20. bon says:

    The reception in there is crap

  21. SCAScot says:

    Now you can log on while you log off.

  22. William says:

    I’m thinking that someone is finally getting hooked up with Google TiSP

  23. klutzo says:

    Don’t have Wi-Fi where you Chatroulette? We have the setup just for you.

  26. john says:

    Ethernet or phone jack it’s only there for one purpose and that’s [in borat's voice] SEXY TIME!!

  27. Brent says:

    Gosh I sure hope that phone has a mute button!

  28. redngreenshow says:

    it does look like a port for an RJ45. But someone commented that this was common in the 90′s and I will second that fact. The biggest builders (home) in the country did it in all homes over 400k.

  29. perv says:

    Three KluDgeS here. 1 is that it’s upside down! It’ll get ruined that way. 2 is that bathroom phones should be wall phones. 3 That is a network jack.

  30. blackf1ng3r says:

    When I settle down, I don’t get up for ANYBODY !

  31. Jeff says:

    Remember the good ole days when people used to read books or magazines on the crapper? Now you have to crap and twit about crapping in these multi-tasking times.
