Jon Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 On the subject of poohs, I get annoyed at my work place when I try and have a peaceful number 2 in the sanctity of cubicle 1 (of 2) when somebody else comes in and uses the urinals (2 off) or even worse, opts for a similar pooh session in the other cubicle. I find it an invasion of privacy to think that somebody else is listening to me break wind (rare, but possible), push out, splash and wipe. It annoys me and embarrasses me. I have for a long time, put a smattering of loo paper in the bowl before I start to prevent back splash, and the tell-tale PLOP of a baby's arm incriminating my cubicalised activity. Why can't I take a pooh in peace? For the last couple of years, I have opted to use the disabled, single cubicle toilet opposite the gents in my work place - just so I can avoid the embarrassment of somebody walking in while I am mid-push or during the inevitable wipe. I stand up for the rights of jo public to have a dignified crap and without risk of humiliation. -- Also pooh related - I hate poohs that take an hour to wipe. But love the ones that require just a cursory, token wipe... First of all, it's poo. Pooh makes me think you're shitting out a cuddly yellow bear in a red t-shirt. Secondly, I'm sure the people coming in and using the toilet while you're taking a dump aren't amazingly comfortable doing their business with you in the cubicle listening away either, but when you gotta go, you gotta go. Just do what most people do and either get out of there before they finish so no one knows it's you, or wait for them to finish, wash up and leave so you never have to see each other. Thirdly, using the disabled toilet? Really? I mean, if you don't have any disabled people working in that area of the building then it's fine, but if there are I really hope one day you come out of there and there's a dude in a wheelchair looking incredibly pissed off at you because he's got a turtle's head poking out but you've nicked his toilet despite there being non-disabled toilets available. I'm afraid I can feel no sympathy for you. Everyone likes their privacy when they're laying cable, but I'm afraid sometimes you just have to deal with it. I can see raver's point, to a degree. When i sometimes go for a poo at work, there are only 2 cubicles in our toilets. That being so, if one is occupied be someone doing a number 2, I'll simply wait, go back to my desk, do some work, and go back 10 minutes later. I really dislike someone pooing right next to me. Obviously there's nothing I can do if I'm pooing and they then come and take the next cubicle, but c'est la vie .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've still not broke the habit of pissing in the kitchen sink, once the new baby comes though I'll have to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Cubicle etiquette does do my head in. I can't really complain about urinal etiquette as I can't remember the last time I saw someone break it...though the "run to the cubicle for a piss, someone is using the urinals" is amusing. But taking a dump in five cubicles and someone picking the one next to you is just so puzzling. Are they lonely? Do they want to share the gas in a sort of man boasting kind of way? Want you to hear their plop in a 'my dump is considerably bigger than yow' kind of way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sometimes I justifiably use the disabled loo. Extreme needing of a poo can be crippling and if there's nowhere else to go, what do you do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want you to hear their plop in a 'my dump is considerably bigger than yow' kind of way? While I don't condone this, when I go to do my business in a public facility, there is only one thing on my mind. If there are skiddies or any mark of previous defecation, I'm definitely not using it. So if the time comes where I can only use a cubicle next to someone, I will not hesitate in making a poo buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave me alone Don't shit near me Window opens after not during (potential for bee/wasp encounter) 1st wipe use 5 sheets, 4 sheets thereafter, folded on the seam NOT scrunched Bleach toilet after everytime I have issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I read once that upon entering a toilet most people head for the furthest cubicle which means that the first cubicle is often the cleanest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I once pooed in the sea. Lapalfan swam after it a little bit. You mean like, he was chasing it as it floated away? You two spend far too much time together. LOL at the lecture.

( http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pooh ) pooh (puː) interj 1. an exclamation of disdain, contempt, or disgust n 2. a childish word for faeces vb 3. a childish word for defecate Pooh-pooh to you Okay, pooh may technically still be acceptable as a noun for faeces (though poo is the usual spelling), but it's widely accepted that its main definition is to express disdain or disgust. Either way, it just looks daft spelling it that way, but do as you wish Secondly, I did say it was okay if you had no disabled people, though they are not purely for people in wheelchairs, of course. It's not like I don't agree with proper toilet etiquette. I will absolutely use the cubicle furthest away from the other guy dropping the kids off at the pool if I'm able to/if it's not skid-ridden, just like I will always go for the furthest urinal away from some other chap taking a piss, but sometimes you just don't have a choice.

villa4europe Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sometimes I justifiably use the disabled loo. Extreme needing of a poo can be crippling and if there's nowhere else to go, what do you do? first rule when the is a queue for the toilets - try the disabled plenty of times at gigs and games etc ive walked past 10-20 blokes in a queue and straight in to the empty disabled toilet if its not busy, then the disabled toilet has more space... and if you've got a bit of delhi belly then you're doing the kind thing and utilising the toilet thats used the least, it all makes sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Exactly. I'd give a disabled person priority if they were waiting but I'm not going to needlessly queue when there's an empty toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I went in the Womens once and got some really strange looks when I was comming out. e went to a shopping centre that I had never been to before and by the time we got there I could not hang on any longer,so I told the wife I have to go now and hurried along. It`s only after I came out ( and noticing the strange looks that I got ) that I realised some rocket polisher had rubbed out the wo in woman and I was in the wrong loo.
