That’s insane. If I were your manager, I’d make you log bathroom time and deduct it from annual leave.
I swear, bathroom visits have become the new smoke breaks.
Sit down - I have unlimited annual leave so nothing to deduct bathroom breaks from.
Most people with a professional job are not docked for bathroom usage. That PP must work in a blue collar field? I am a teacher and we cover each other for the bathroom all the time. It’s a non issue.

Most people don't. But with certain medical conditions, you are supposed to drink more, like 80-100 a day.

Pp here. Super funny but I actually had a manager who wanted me to sign in and out for bathroom breaks. The bathroom was basically right next to my office and I never spent more than a minute in there. She also didn’t want me to snack and only eat at my designated lunch 30 minutes. I got her disciplined since I’m a T1 diabetic and their highest performer. I’m still furious years later.
Good for you.

OP , I was thinking this at the airport the other day. So many people tote around those dumb water bottles + look like desperate camels lining up to fill their bottles at the water stations. Ewwww...who wants to use airplane bathrooms?! Not me. Surely, people can go w/o drinking so much water when flying.

I apparently have an iron bladder and can hold it for long periods of time. Some people can't.
The only legit answer here. OP, why are you drinking so much water?
Op here. The thing is I’m not but seeing everyone else drinking makes me think I should be drinking more. I usually feel like I pee too often as it is and I’m barely finishing one whole 16oz water bottle. I may sip on a sweet tea during the day or coffee depending but I want to drink more water just not spend the day in the bathroom.
I am working with a registered dietitian. She has asked me to try for 64 oz of water daily

Doctors, lawyers, teachers, anyone having a meeting of any sort or working on a project with others…. You can’t run to the bathroom every 30 minutes at these jobs.
I am a lawyer and I pee at least every 90 minutes all day long. A total non issue

Totally agree.
Do you manage an assembly line? Office workers have all manner of ways to kill time on the clock not working.

I don't drink while on walks outside. I don't own a water bottle.
The water bottle culture has become really absurd. My kids take water bottles to school but that’s because it’s hard to make the time to get water between classes. The only other time we use them is at Disney world. The idea that you need to leave your house for every errand with a water bottle is crazy.
Why would you even notice if other people have water bottles? Why on earth would it bother you?
How do you not notice?
Agree. I do not carry a water bottle nor drink much water. I am very aware that everyone seems to be totting these giant jugs of water.

I mean, sure, but how do you know people aren't just thirsty and need to drink water? There is nothing wrong with staying hydrated.

It's one thing to notice, but entirely different to be bothered by it. I always find people who worry about and moan about irrelevant stuff like this extremely intellectually lacking.
