According to a recent survey administered by the reputable folks over at AOL, Americans are by and large addicted to their email. No way?!? The survey revealed a number of rather disturbing interesting figures:

  • 59% of Americans check their email in bed
  • 53% of Americans have checked their email in the bathroom
  • 37% of Americans check their email while they drive
  • 43% check email first thing in the morning
  • 83% check email while on vacation
  • Average users check their email at least 5 times a day

What’s so strange about those figures and habits? We honestly have no idea. Finally, the survey identified the top 10 most email-addicted cities. Think you’re among friends? Hit the jump to find out if you live in one of the offending locales.
