Do you poop at work?

Do you go to the gas station to blow your nose?

+2. Doing this would have bothered me as a teenager, or maybe right out of college. But know what? I grew up and realized that if someone thinks less of me because I have the audacity to perform a natural body function in a room designed for that very purpose, then screw 'em. I am not going to be uncomfortable all day because some people still have grade school attitudes about poop.

So do you hesitate at all to burp or fart in front of your coworkers or in a meeting?

A few times when my stomach's hurt though, I have ducked into a hotel on my lunch hour and used their restrooms on the main floor. At least then I won't be washing my hands next to anyone I know.

Yes, how mortifying it would be to have someone see you washing your hands. You people are ridiculous.

Not that poster, but come on. That's not the same as evacuating IN THE RESTROOM.

WTF.

If the restroom is a shared space then it is. If you consider it to be a natural body function and you don't see any reason why your coworkers wouldn't want to share in the sounds and smells of you evacuating your bowels then why would why you hesitate to share other natural body functions with them. There aren't any designated spaces for farting / burping. If that is natural and part of the human body function then why wouldn't you simply expel the gasses wherever you are?

No, and that is dumb and you know it.

A bathroom doesn't have to smell like roses, unless you're the type who likes to hang out in the office restroom for a hour or so, avoiding your responsibilities....

Because when you go to a restroom, whether public or not, that’s what you expect – for people to pee and poop. That is the raison d’etre of a restroom, like it or not. When you go to a meeting, you do not expect people to burp or fart (at least not audibly) any more than you expect them to pee or poop. The purpose of a meeting is not to attend to your bodily functions, so if I have a bodily function that needs attending to during a meeting and it would be disruptive to do so without excusing myself, I either hold it or I excuse myself and attend to it. I am the +2 poster, by the way.

As my 5-year-old says: "Mommy, sometimes you can hold a pee but it is very very hard to hold a poop."

more importantly... are you one of those horrible women who pees on the toilet seat?

I don't see it as being anal-retentive

Are you fucking kidding me? This is the textbook, literal definition of being anal-retentive!

All you people who care so much that you or other people actually use the bathroom for one of the things it's designed for are batshit crazy. Do you all enjoy sex?

If you will die from the aroma of another person's poop, maybe you should avoid public restrooms (or sharing a bathroom with a family member or having a child). The burden really isn't on the rest of the world to refrain from using public restrooms for their intended purpose.
