You know what really grinds my gears? 16DEC10

[kittyciara]

People who have no issue taking a shit in a stall right along side you.

I desire to take my #2 alone, with no disturbances. I don't want to feel restricted during my bowel movements. And as such, I pay the same respects to others- if I walk in the bathroom at work and see feet in the stall I kindly exit and go to the next bathroom in the building.

What type of person walks in the bathroom, sees the feet and thinks "eeeh, I'm gonna join them in their shit taking".

It's gross and inconsiderate.

[Methix]

But how would you play BattleShit?

[Mod]

Dude I do the EXACT same thing. I seek out an empty bathroom. I only settle if it's an emergency.

[Kiratal]

What the hell lol, where do you guys work?

We got like 250 guys on the same floor and 1 shitter with like 7 stalls. Either you're shitting next to people or you aren't shitting.

[Phegan]

Yeah we only have 1 bathroom. I don't like to see anyone when they take a shit, or after I take a shit though. I get the fuck out if I hear a flush, or wait until it's empty to leave my stall.

Also, quit crying and play with your phone while you shit.

[Mod]

At my work there are 2 men's bathrooms on a floor with 2 stalls each. There are 2 buildings with 5 floors. There are 20 bathrooms and 40 stalls for me to choose from. I only go to the other building if I have to.

One time, in school, our varsity team went for an away match with one of the private colleges in Northeast. i can't remember if it was Amherst or Hobart or Bates - but at one of these schools for the very rich we made our way into the lockers and the toilet section was just a long row of toilets with no walls in between. there were literally ppl sitting there taking dumps having conversations.

it was the weirdest fucking thing. we just gave each other incredulous looks and tried not to laugh too much.

[Methix]

Ok, that's just fucking weird...

[Magina]

i have had the pleasure of shitting into a very long ditch alongside a hundred other chinese people... suck it up princess

Are you sure you didn't wander into a prison?

[Pilar]

it was atypical to say the least. then u actually play these guys and find out during introductions that they have first names like Wordsworth, or Mcguire, or Atticus. like who names their child Mcguire? i suppose the no-partitions policy must be steeped in some age old tradition.

[Phegan]

My first son is named McGuire.

Magina is kinda right.

[lornfang]

I honestly can't see the issue. Each floor in my building has a single restroom with 2 stalls and 2 urinals. There are several hundred people per floor. People are in the bathroom to get shit done (ha). Sit down, do your business, pay no attention to the rumble in the stall next to you. Oh and use a seat protector.

The exception I make is when the tall urinal is in use, but that's because the short urinal is so low I would splash on my pants.

Business deals happen in bathrooms.

Seriously though, this is a bit much for me. I'm fine with taking a piss next to another dude, but do not engage me in conversation.

[Estellios]

Everybody shits so whatever. My only exception is when I'm "having a bad day". I want my privacy then :frown:

[Miro]

You know who doesn't have this problem? Fat people. I've never seen a fat person who is shy about their bowl movements.

I'm the same as Shane and Matt but it doesn't bother me as much, if there's a party going on in the restroom I'll just go to the next one or try again later.

[Beefisgood]

It's just taking shit.....

What annoys me if when people bring their phone in the restrooms and starts to talk on them. This makes it a perfectly great time for me to muster up the dirtiest farts I can.

[kittyciara]

Haha. I definitely play with my phone whilst shitting (where do you think I am when I make posts?).

The expectation of professionalism at my job is pretty high. Also our workforce isn't huge so I often times go into the bathroom to find myself talking to the director of my department who is 3 major steps above me. Grunting and releasing of gas is all fun and dandy, but walking out of a stall afterwards and coming face to face with my director it's hard to maintain the perception of "serious business". He'll always have in his mind "that's the guy that shits really loud".

But that whole paragraph was off topic. It's the person who shits beside me I can't stand. I don't mind smelling my own shit, and I don't mind hearing myself struggle. But I prefer to not hear or smell someone else.

Whether you agree or not, at least I got some people posting again. Geez it's been slow around here!

[Kiratal]

While we're on the topic of bathrooms, a few more rules of the brown road.


#1 - If you elect to piss in stalls, either sit down, or lift the seat, if you are too brazen to do either of these simple tasks, wipe your fucking piss off the seat.

#2 - Whether you pissed or shat, flush whatever it is, and if your shit is still caked to the bowl after 1 flush, keep flushing until it isn't.

#3 - If you're one of these anti-bacterial purrell loving nazis, and you use the toilet seat cover, flush it down after you take a shit, stop leaving them on the seat to get covered in piss by the retard who can't follow rule #1.

[Miro]

I'm the grunt around our office (Help Desk ftl) and I find I'm more often the one the Manager or Director comes face to face with after they punish the toilet. That's when I tell them to give me their job or I'll tell everyone how loud they shit.

Hasn't worked yet...

[Kazaloth]

Jumping in on this convo...we have one office bathroom and it's been one of my biggest pet peeves is to the people who do not leave a bathroom how they found it. I can't stand people who can't do an extra courtesy flush so I don't have to see your streak marks... although it has made me wonder a couple of times how the hell do some people have streak marks that are almost underneath the lip of the toilet bowl.

You crazy chinese fucker.

[lornfang]

I really think someone should write the unwritten rules of the bathroom, so we can all ratify them as a culture.

[Miro]

Though shalt not enter thy stall when thy neighboring stall is occupied.

Oh you said rules, not commandments..

[Balthor]

I always find it funny when I'm walking down the main hall talking to a coworker on the way out to our cars and we both enter the bathroom and start using the urinals. Usually the conversation immediately dies like we just hand a couple of strokes and only starts back up once we are washing our hands or exit.

Biggest annoyance for me is when there is a huge row of urinals and the next guy to come up picks one right next to you when all the others are free.

[Grah]

I can't shit in public restrooms. I won't even take a leak if a guy is taking a shit in the restroom at work.

Man we had the worst urinal setup at the last place I worked. As you can see by the attached diagram, there was a problem when someone was in the left stall. The door to the left stall would actually run into you if you were positioned at the left urinal, which means you would want to use one of the 2 urinals on the right. But if someone was already there, you'd have to choose between being in the way of the stall door (which is REALLY awkward when someone comes out and you have to kind of move out of the way while you're taking a leak and mumbling apologies for being in the way) or taking the urinal next to someone else when the other one is open.

The worst thing is people would ALWAYS use the stall on the left even when the other two were empty, and people would ALWAYS be stationed at the far corner urinal which was out of sight until you were already committed to standing next to them awkwardly. If I took one of the two I'd always take the close one so people could see I was there before committing.

Worst bathroom design ever.

[kittyciara]

Nice shit stains!

[Beefisgood]

Another issue I have is how lazy people have become to flushing the toilet. All of the restrooms in my regional office have those automatic flush devices now...well for the past year almost. Located on the top of each of them there is a button to manually flush the toilet. People have become so use to the toilet flushing itself that they totally forget to look for the occasional double flush manual need or the manual flush the automatic shit is not working need.

[Desiree]

I refuse to use the men's restroom at work. The thing that sucks for us is that there is only 1 set of bathrooms for staff. If there is a line it means I have to go into the girl's bathroom, which can be a scary place.

I do however think tidiness issues are more typical for guys. So far I've never seen our bathroom dirty.

However, I did have to go a whole year with Eastern style toilets, aka squatter toilets. That was very very unpleasant. The tea lady we had (her main purpose was to make tea for people, hence the name) for the first part of the year would clean out the women's bathroom trash cans, which had various...things in them... However, she changed schools mid way through and the new tea lady refused to do that. Our vice principal (a female) told the staff that what we should do is use the girl's bathroom when there were no students to change our feminine products. This way the girls cleaning the bathroom (no janitors, students did it) would take out our trash. Pretty warped imo.

It also took me like 9 months to figure out why the other teachers would flush the toilet before going to the bathroom when there were 2 of us in there. It was so that the other person can't hear you peeing. We also had to wear special slippers into the bathroom, so that your own shoes don't get contaminated...

Des, I'm confused, I thought you were a woman?

[lornfang]

She refuses to use the men's if there is a line for the women's. Keep up.

[Methix]

I think the point of confusion may be that as a teacher there is more than just mens and womens. There is staff male (mens), staff female (womens), student male (boys), and student female (girls).

So if there is a line for the womens, she has to use the girls vs the mens.

[Desiree]

1 set implies 1 for men and 1 for women, otherwise I would have said there was only 1 staff bathroom period.

[Miro]

I've been ripping some nasty farts all morning....poor co-coworkers.

Move along now..

[amisme]

I had an issue with my last multivitamin, it was fine at first but after a while it would make me fart like a punctured zeppelin
