Taking a poo in the office - is there etiquette to it?

[h0llywood]

How about taking a piss wearing flip flops and you get backsplash, from all directions.

 

And I hate people who use the toilet to piss when there are urinals. I know damn well you didn't pick up the toilet seat.

Didn't someone post a cartoon video on how to poop at work here a while back?

I seriously contemplated amputating my foot after some dudes piss splashed on it while wearing flops. Verizon Wireless Amphitheater problems.

And to answer the initial question, you are taking a dump. Etiquette and $hit is an oxymoron.

I usually try and disturb the hell out of the guy that walks in while I'm dropping a deuce. I'll act like I'm making a call and tell my best friend all about it. Size, color, consistency, and even offer to take a picture and send it to him. Usually they turn around and walk right back out the door. If not, I do my absolute damnedest to make sure they are traumatized by any sounds/smells I can produce. 

 

This works really well at a movie theater in the solo bathroom when someone jiggles the handle. When you open the door and walk out, just grin and say all yours.

The older I get, the less I care about stupid men's room etiquette.

If I have to drop a deuce in a some communal bathroom (whether at work,  a restaurant, whatever) I just do it.  I don't make a production about it.

 

I try to keep ridiculous farting and other such noises to a minimum, but I refuse to worry myself too much about it. I'll courtesy flush, but I'm not going to purposely hold back a turd or pinch one off just to do so.

 

If I have to blow up a public bathroom, it's not by choice. It's not going to be a pleasant experience for anyone. It happens. Deal with it and move on.

Speaking of spreading bacteria while flushing...

Is everyone here aware that in much of Europe, the toilet is a separate room within the bathroom? Let that sink in a second. Then like me you will probably ask yourself, "Why the hell isn't it like that everywhere in America?" I mean, think of the applications! You can deuce while someone else is showering/brushing/applying make-up. You have a smaller area to de-odor, and 2 doors between the funk and the rest of the house. And most importantly, no fecal coliform bacteria is being splashed all over your sink, shower, toothbrush, etc. every time you flush!

How did we, the greatest country in the free world miss the boat on that?

I grew up in a house that had a separate room within the bathroom. It was built by Mennonites and everything about that house was top notch.

europe is that place where people just dumped poo out their bedroom windows and into the street 100 years ago

I doubt bacteria and hygiene is much of an issue as long as you keep it relatively clean and don't use your toothbrush as toilet roll.

I think sometimes we're too ana...fussy when it comes to cleanliness. As kids we used to play in dirt and stick everything in our mouths. If all the fears about bacteria were true we'd be using hand sanitisers every minute, and thinking this would be enough to close down all the hospitals.

Mennonites? Are you sure that's not an outhouse inside a barn? I thought they were like the Amish.

Just kidding...
