Stop reading if you don’t like to read about bodily functions.
I can’t decide -
Let’s say you’re in the men’s room at the office. You’re a man, at the urinal. A co-worker enters the men’s room and steps up to the urinal adjacent. While you’re both pissing he winds up (I’m talking full grunt, face squint) and then blasts a huge noisy fart.
Yes, this has happened to me with two co-workers.
I’m torn - neither would ever do this in the public office area. If they were in a stall I would probably just ignore it. But to do it at the urinal - I dunno, I can’t decide. Yeah, if you gotta break some wind, the bathroom is the acceptable place. But at a urinal? Where’s the decorum?
WAG, he’s either trying to finish peeing faster or he has a nervous bladder so he’s pushing a bit harder then normal. Either way he ends up farting as well.
I’d say both normal and gross. Just one of life’s little ‘Things you put up with when you have to be around other people’ things.
I’m a girl, though, and would use a stall for that kind of thing.
I think.
Though perhaps the headiness of being able to relieve myself that quickly might make using the stall seem like a godsawful waste of precious seconds or something.
Crass, he should go into a cubicle. Does anyone else prefer to ensure the bathroom is empty or at least no one knows you’re in the cubicle before taking a dump? You don’t want your co-workers hearing bathroom noises.
You might be onto something there. Like the bellowing and snorting of a bull-walrus when lesser males come into his territory
FWIW: I’m a chick, and I’m poop-shy, I prefer nobody else to be around when I’m pooping. BUT I don’t get all offended if other folks fart in the bathroom. It’s what it’s for, doing gross and impolite shit.
If there’s anyplace where it’s socially acceptable to rip ass, it would have to be a bathroom. Pissing, pooping, farting. Hell, even nose-picking-- let 'er rip. Bodily functions, be free.
As some others have said, this is exactly what the bathroom is for. I find it hilarious that some people think that it’s inappropriate to fart in a bathroom.
Also, as Dio suggested, farting is often an involuntary accompaniment to urination.
