Okay, so-- meetings are often a neccessary evil. If you can't avoid them by ducking into the restroom, then you should entertain yourself in whichever way you deem least noticable. I've written whole operas during meetings. My theory is that once trapped in a god-forsaken situation like a long meeting, your brain deperately begins to manufacture entertainment. It's a defense mechanism to fight the death-like grip of boredom that overtakes you as soon as your brain realizes you've been forced into yet another meeting. You can't imagine the hundreds of pounds of material I created while waiting around on jury duty.
