I had a coworker who used to tease my by giving out "(My name) just took a shit" cards to coworkers if she caught me doing it. Mortifying.[/quote]
That actually sounds like a hostile work environment. I am wondering if you made a big deal of it? How would your coworker even know?
+1. Really horrific and invasive.

I poop in 10 seconds. Maybe 5.
Feel the urge, sit down, bam, done.
My husband is the typical guy who sits for a solid 10 minutes. I have wondered for years what goes on during that time (while also never wanting to know).

I have noticed when I have less fiber in my diet, I am more like you. When I have more fiber, I'm more like the others you cite. I'm a guy and about 50. Pre-40, I didn't have to worry about diet as much. Post-40, I definitely have to pay attention to my diet or my body will start misbehaving more.
+1 but you have to eat the "peel"; wash/scrub vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumbers and bell peppers (don't peel them) and you'll get the fiber you need. Eat oranges and apples, instead of drinking their juice. Drink water instead. It'll make all the difference without resorting to chemical supplements.
Otherwise, ask your doctor.

Another woman here with no problems pooping. I prefer not to in public places but if it can't be avoided then fine.

You need more fibre and water in your diet

When the urge hits me - I go. Doesn't matter where I am. Although I will try and suppress the urge if there are only portapottys around.
Drinking lots of water helps - it just slides right out. No struggle.
I am a woman FWIW. And there are not typically farting noises that accompany it (sometimes- but that is unusual).

I think different people have different poop speeds and frequencies. I see this with my two kids--one poops right away nearly every time he sits down, the other one only every other day or so and it takes forever. I am pretty fast, but that's just how my body works. Maybe it's based somewhat on what you eat?
Anyway I would not worry too much about it. There are many other things to worry about in life other than the speed of your pooping.

You're funny, OP.
Are you as deliberate, a little perfectionist and anxious in the rest of your life as well?
Because truly I think it's a personality thing. And you may want to eat more fruits and vegetables to loosen you up. Alternatively magnesium works on both constipation AND anxiety.

(Sorry -- a little gross, but you saw the topic line.)
For me, going No. 2, esp. in a public restroom, is complicated. Getting started, knowing when I'm finished, wiping -- it can take a while.
But for a lot of people (well, a lot of men, at least), based on what I've heard in the next stall over the years, it's a piece of cake. No different from No. 1.
It never ceases to amaze me to hear somebody walk in, sit down, immediately make a series of truly spectacular fart noises, wipe (well I hope), flush, and walk out, in a minute or two.
I'm kind of appalled but kind of envious.
Are more people like that, or like me?
