Toilets have been many things to many people, not just places to do your business and wash your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re places where people will read their favourite book, play on their phones and even hide from their boss \u2013 but who\u2019d have guessed they\u2019d ever use a toilet bowl as an eating receptacle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
