EQUTE — Alright, it might be a bit of an overstatement, but a survey of Twitter users’ shows that they love to tweet from restaurants, movie theaters and the bathroom.

The survey, from Crowd Science, aimed to see how the boom in mobile devices affected social media use. Some of what they found was more than a little disturbing.

A total of 31 percent of respondents said they access Twitter from public places like restaurants — hopefully while their friends are smoking or away from the table. I wonder how many people are having a wonderful conversation with their oblivious friend who is they tweet about mittens.

The survey also showed that 8 percent of Twitter users tweet form performances like movies and the theater. I’m sure Hamlet loves to soliloquize to an audience awash in the blue glow from their cell phones.

And the question which will keep me from ever borrowing a phone from a Twitter fiend, 17 percent of them tweet from the bathroom. I wonder if they ever tweet about walking by the sink while staring at Twitter trends.

To add a little danger to the mix, one in 10 Twitterers surveyed said they have checked tweets or shared a tweet while driving. This is fairly disturbing, since research by the Department of Transportation showed that people ignore the road for two seconds while answering a phone and 10 seconds while texting. That’s where their study ends, perhaps they didn’t think anyone would actually head to Twitter in traffic. Sure, they could be safely stopped in a parking lot or stopped in rush hour, but I highly doubt it.

This isn’t to say I don’t like Twitter, I love Twitter, but people should really show some sense. Tweet away during intermission, walking to the car or while you’re waiting for friends — and don’t use it in the bathroom, that’s just gross.
