According to a new survey conducted by British digital magazine iGizmo, 35 percent of Brits admit to using their phone while "on the loo." Cell phones may be everywhere these days but um, yeah, that's still weird.

When they first emerged on the scene, cell phones were considered a useful tool available to those who could afford them; now they're everywhere. As of last November, there were 3.3 billion cell phone subscriptions in the world. Cell phones continue to be the best-selling gadget in the consumer electronics market.

This could explain why people refuse to leave their cell phones behind, even in the most seemingly inappropriate situations. Two percent of Brits admit to talking on their cell phone during a funeral, while another 1.2 percent cop to chatting on their phone during sex.

iGizmo's UK-wide survey, which polled the gadget usage habits of nearly 10,000 British consumers, found that British women value their mobile phones second only to their family and health, while nearly 9 percent of under-16-year-olds consider their phones as important as their family and health.
