I do. You do. The mods do. You’re friends do. Your enemies do. Your boss does. The dude or gal you were sweet on in High School does… or ‘did’, in which case, I’m sorry to hear that he/she has passed.

My parents didn’t read ‘Everyone Poops’ when I was a child. They chose ‘Once Apon a Potty’ and ‘Toilet Tales’.

I had to learn on my own.

Apparently the Queen of England does as well…

I was part of the pre-‘Everyone Poops’ generation. In those days, no one pooped – at least not the way more recent generations do it.

Two things came out (well, perhaps that isn’t the best word to use) in 1977: ‘Everyone Poops’ and ‘[Love Canal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Canal#Love_Canal_disaster)’.

Coincidence? I think not.

Some people poop in their pants. It’s easy to know who those people are.

Not true. My gf **does not** poop. She doesn’t fart either. Nope.

In my mind, I am reading the thread title to the tune of an old R.E.M. song.

Can’t think of any lyrics to go with the theme, though.

Not necessarily. Her household uses Andrex. That’s her husband, the corgis, maybe the ladies-in-waiting. It doesn’t mean she does.

I’d be forced to leave my SO if I were to find out she’s a pooper.
