Well, if all you care about is how you look, then you’re fine. You seem to be lacking in the empathy department. Also, your obsessive need to be right all the time makes you look foolish. Those things cost you more than your looks could ever offset. But given your need to be right, I’m pretty sure you won’t understand that. ---

I seriously cannot stop laughing at the kind of jackass who would purposely shit himself in front of everybody because he didn’t like the bathroom. ---

I don’t know why I’m even responding, the theme of purposely misreading what I have written, and then misreading what I have written to explain what I had originally written, just so you can fit it in nicely with the stupid responses you all here have cocked and ready is ubiquitous. But… **Living Well Is Best Revenge** = Nowhere in my posts did I say or suggest that “taking a dump in my pants was my only option”. That is ridiculous and offensive. I _clearly_ said, and reiterated, that I went back to the table to try to wait out the last couple minutes of my date’s meal and then we would go back to my house. **Mean Old Lady** = just put a cork in it already. :rolleyes: ---

> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > I seriously cannot stop laughing at the kind of jackass who would purposely shit himself in front of everybody because he didn’t like the bathroom. This sort of comment is why people like Jamie stay on boards like this, where most don’t seem to like them: because people like me will come on on and point out (like someone else did earlier) that that shit date (heh) scenario is not that unrealistic. You don’t want to have the waiter hold you up, your house is nearby, you’re leaving soon, you think you can hold it… then shit happens. Shitting yourself is just so much more likely if you’re paraplegic. (There is no nice way of phrasing that). Why not stick to the proper snipes, like the restaurant choice, not something which is related to his disability? ---

Why would you go back to the table if you had to shit so badly? You said it was becoming an “emergency” situation. You were in the bathroom already; why not figure something out since your bowels were so pressing? There was absolutely no way your body builder ass could have lifted yourself out of the chair and made it onto the john seat? Not ideal by a long stretch, and I would have been downright angry about the situation myself, but your best option was to SHIT YOURSELF in the middle of the restaurant? That could not have possibly been your most favorable option. Edit: @ Sam, he’s said before in the thread about airplane aisle wheelchairs that he would take dragging himself on the floor if necessary. I wouldn’t want to put my hands all over a public restroom floor either, but if I were experiencing something that can be described as an emergency, I’d begrudgingly do so rather than return to the table and risk voiding my bowels at the table. ---

Especially considering that’s what he wants the flight attendants to allow him to do to get to the plane restroom.
