[QUOTE=gigi] This reminds me of the time I went over to a friend’s house. He was living in a crack shack that he was slowing fixing up to be basically livable, though it would never be House Beautiful. So I’m sitting in the kitchen which was one doorless opening away from the room where he had set up an uncontained pot. It clearly was an urgent matter when he excused himself during a dinner of just us, dead silence except for the usual, and the stink. No one would have batted an eye if he had gone in the woods in that neighborhood, a much better choice with someone ten feet away with no barrier. [/QUOTE] Now, see…why didn’t he crank the stereo? I mean, it’s the obvious answer! ---

[QUOTE=jay-c] Thank you for taking it in the spirit in which it was intended. Poop humor is pretty commonplace in my family… [/QUOTE] Excellent! Why the hell not laugh if you think it’s funny? Life’s short. > [@](#): > > As children, we referred to our digestive systems as “the rocket sled”, as that’s roughly equivalent to the speed at which most foods exit our asses. See, this is funny.

Perhaps that’s a neurosis, perhaps that’s courtesy for my coworkers. Call it what you will. No worries. No need to explain. It was a rant, it was funny, it was good.

I thought the post was hilarious. Very well done jay-c! I can’t believe anyone would take it as anything other than a simple rant. By the way, I am a sometimes Offender of the Work Bathroom tm, and I can still totally relate with this. The other day I went to take a leak and opened the door to a smell that is quite possibly the second worse smell I have ever experienced. Needless to say I turned 180 degrees on my heels and decided to hold it until I could make my way to the bathroom on the next floor. And by the way, someone mentioned how simple it is to vent bathrooms. Our bathroom at work is usually around 80 to 85 degrees, and with 0 air movement. Taking a dump in that place is like going in a sauna- a very smelly sauna. Nothing having all that sweat on you for other people’s poop spores to stick to. Yuck. ---

[QUOTE=El Cid Viscoso] As for the OP, from what I’ve seen she’s a biscuit. Hot chicks can always get away with this kind of stuff. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. [/QUOTE] Not being familiar with the term “biscuit”, I’ll infer from the rest of your statement that it’s a _good_ thing, so thanks! I wondered if posting my picture in the MPSIMS thread would end up biting me in the ass, as my face is now forever associated with poop in most Dopers’ minds. Hell, there are plenty of Dopers in my city, most likely a couple in my workplace, and I just outed myself as the girl with the shy sphincter. :eek: ---
