The concept of Kiramin Katibin?

Kiramin Katibin are two angels who sit on a person's shoulder and record their good and bad deeds.

It is recorded that Muhammad once said, "The (scribe) on the left hand raises his pen (i.e., delays writing) for six hours (this may refer to six hours of 60 minutes as measured by astronomers, or it may refer to short periods of time during the day or night, according to Lisan al-'Arab) before he records the sinful deed of a Muslim. If [the Muslim] regrets it and seeks God's forgiveness, the deed is not recorded, otherwise it is recorded as one deed." A further respite is granted after the deed has been recorded; up until the moment before death approaches, one is able to repent and ask for forgiveness

What I'd like to know is why God needs two angels to record stuff for him? He is omnipresent and omniscient, but he needs two angels to keep a record book of my actions? Is he afraid he will forget?

Also my Quran teacher said the two angels don't follow you when you go into the bathroom for privacy reasons Huh?

. Does that mean my actions in the bathroom are not recorded? So I could do something totally haram in the bathroom and get away with it?
