The powder room—usually near the kitchen/on the main level—is for washing hands or a quick pee. It is not for you to sit there and grunt and drop a load while others are waiting to wash hands/quickly pee, and then have to smell your stench.

This also goes for when you are a houseguest. In my home, guests have the entire lower level to themselves—full bath, full bedroom with queen-size bed, private sitting area with TV. THAT is where you go to poop, don’t use the powder room on the main level for this purpose.

I said what I said.

What if you can't get to that bathroom in time. I've had a colocystectomy and sometimes you only have time to get to the closest bathroom. I think you have serious problems.

Then why are you vacationing if you haven't recovered enough not to have diarrhea on the floor?

Going to the bathroom to relieve yourself is hardly the same thing as having diarrhea on the floor. Quit being dramatic.

Oh honey you must be the poster who finds nothing wrong with blowing out the powder room. We all think you are disgusting and talk about you behind your back.

You're definitely a drama queen then. You've equated emergency bathroom visits to defecating on the floor, then suggested that I'm disgusting and deserve gossip. I'm glad I'm not part of your social group that normalizes such mean girl behavior, making fun of someone who has medical condition. I'm not the PP who has emergency bathroom visits, but I'd rather be her friend and she can poop in any of my toilets* than be friends with someone who's unkind and brags about making fun of people with medical problems.

*Add this to list of things I never thought I'd say. Thank you DCUM.

If you can’t walk 20 extra feet to the guest room bathroom it’s you who has the problem. Stay home.
