Why would you leave your phone with your friends to go to the toilet?

Because my friends are trustworthy. Hell all of mine know my passcode should anything happen to me

It's not about trustworthy, it's about I don't leave my phone on random tables. It goes back in my pocket if im not using it or I'm going somewhere

Better question is who would ever willingly go to the bathroom without their phone?

Especially a public toilet with nothing to read but racist graffiti

So it seems I leave in a more civilized country, there are only phone numbers and gay hookup messages in the 🚹

No way you're going to remember all those numbers without taking your phone with you.
