The term "powder room"

[Anonymous]

Wouldn't it be strange to ask to use the upstairs toilet if you had to poop? That would be WEIRD.

My 5 year old son. That is his favorite bathroom to take a dump. We have 2 others but he prefers the "pOwder room". I deal with real estate in Georgetown and the 1/2 bath on first level is always referred to as the "powder room". It's not a suburban term.

Unless I am staying for an extended overnight visit I NEVER crap in anyone else's house. That is frickin' weird.

Do u all have serious GI issues that you'd poop at somebody's hose during a dinner visit or BBQ???! Nasty!

I always wondered about the ppl that crap in bars.

If I have to "move my bowels" I'm gonna do it anywhere there's a toilet that flushes and a sink to wash my hands. Holding that toxic digested stew inside your body when you need to "evacuate" is even nastier. No hang ups here. If you have a problem with it spray some Glade or light a match. Yeesh.

Rich people never say "passed away?" I like passed away better than died.

Anal retentive, much?

Yes, I wonder about people who can only take a dump in their own home. They're like a petulant three-year-old holding it in. Def something weird going on there. It's only feces. You're not leaving something precious in the "foreign" toilet. Let it go, in more ways than one!

Come on--- I CANNOT believe you ppl crap at dinner parties. That is seriously foul.

I have never gone over to a friends or neighbors house and taken a crap. I really don't think I am the weird one. Now if I were suffering a stomach ailment of course I would crap in their toilet vs my own pants..but I'd be leaving shortly thereafter.

You hold your poop? Seriously? This is fascinating and incredibly bizarre. Encopresis can lead to loss of function of your sphincter. In other words, being afraid of using another person's toilet now will result in your enjoyment of anal leakage when you are older.

WHY is it foul? You're flushing the toilet, right? You're not leaving a big pile of poo in there for other people to look at. You're washing your hands, I presume. The only thing you're leaving behind is a smell that usually fades away quickly. Most people have some kind of spray in the bathroom if they have guests over; use it. You're not announcing to others present, "I'm gonna go take a crap." You're just discreetly going to the bathroom to use the facilities. Why are you so ashamed?

No. I do not hold my poop. I am incredibly regular. I wAH and take it every day after my morning coffee. I am a once a day person. I can't fathom taking a poop at someone elses house. Period.

I agree with OP. The half-bath on the main floor is the powder room, regardless of geography.

As for pooping at someone's house, you and your first-world problems are hilarious! I travel to developing countries for work, and I;m just glad when there's a proper flush toilet instead of a hole in the ground! PP with the poop hang-up, I urge you to never, never leave the U.S. You would die of poop retention if you insisted on a clean, private receptacle for your precious shit!

Your life sounds very limited and depressing. I don't make a habit of pooping in other people's houses, but I am sure it has happened on rare occasions. I believe that friends have also occasionally pooped in mine. It doesn't pay to worry about it.
