The only time it happened to me was once when a sneeze caught me by surprise.
Yeah, how would one even poo if there legs weren’t spread. Seems like I’d be asking for a big old mess if I kept my pants around my knees and my legs shut. Maybe some women can answer that.
And bullshit to you too, Ms. Roll-Eyes. Try for a bigger off-load at work tomorrow; maybe your mood will improve.
Like the other poster said, my pantlegs are loose enough that at least at the heel and on the sides near the heel, the pants will touch the floor if allowed to drop.
And count me as a woman who not only poops at work, but sometimes does so twice in the same day. My system’s pretty regular; I don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this, and my body just gives me the “time to go!” signal so I head to the restroom, do my business, and leave.
You… stroll… as you defecate? I hereby request that you respond with the general neighborhood in question so that I can avoid it. 
Throwing another hat in the ring for “I’m a woman, I poop at work, and from the sounds I have not-infrequently heard coming from other stalls, plenty of other women do, too.” Some **people **prefer not to poop at work. Some **people **don’t care. Some **people **deliberately poop at work as much as possible.
Between this and the “all women love chocolate and all men don’t” thread… Can everyone please agree stop speaking as though their habits and the habits of their particular group of friends are indicative of an entire gender? :rolleyes:
I’ll try to do so, if you and Broomstick in turn brush up on the concept of the “obvious generalization”. (How the hell would I know the habits of “the entire gender”?) :rolleyes:
If you want to take issue with the validity of the generalization, fine. But acting like you don’t even know that’s what it is, is just silly.
Not to hijack, but 30 minutes? What does one do for 30 minutes? Maybe a new thread on that subject. I figure you go in, sit down, do what you have to do, and leave. A minute or two tops.
I always thought a constitutional was a walk.
You can’t call bullshit on somebody’s privacy level. Own stall with opaque door is not enough privacy for me.
I have had the gap pee happen a couple times when I have been semi-erect while peeing. Thankfully it has always been at home.
All you non work poopers are truly missing out. Sure you get an extra break from work, and who doesn’t like to disgust their fellow coworker. The cost savings alone is what makes it totally worthwhile though. I only have to buy TP like once a year as all my pooing except the occasional weekend load takes place at work. In these tough economic times you have to save wherever you can you know.
As far as a 30 minute poop, the actual pooping only take a couple minutes. However, give a man something good to read (preferably about sports) and he can be in there all day.
Your an engineer right ?

I have to admit, I’ve done it once. And I’m female.
Not exactly sure how the stars lined up, so to speak, but I do remember I was very tired, and my bathroom at the time had one of those little round toilets, as opposed to the oval model. I sat, let loose, and heard something that sounded a bit like rain on the roof. It took a couple of seconds to discover that it wasn’t rain, it was my pee, hitting the crotch of my underwear (which were hanging a bit below knee level).
Afterwards, I checked the underside of the seat and the toilet rim, and missed hitting those entirely. I still don’t know how I managed it.
Sudoku.
Sudoodooku…
Female, so that has never really happened to me but at least that explains how the pee gets under the seat in the community restroom at work.
So, since you admit you have no way of knowing what other women do, and that the comments you’re making are a broad (and potentially inaccurate) generalization, why are you making them?
I *know *what an obvious generalization is, and that’s why I objected when I saw you doing it. So stop using “I was generalizing” as an excuse for, er, generalizing. “This is what I do”–no objection. “This is what I, and many women I know, do”–no objection. “This is how most women are”–WHOA nelly, hold on a minute there.
TMI alert:
I have screwed-up guts that occasionally don’t like to function properly. Sometimes things start slow and take a while to finish up; sometimes they feel like they’re gonna start any minute, but take a while to show up; sometimes, they come out quick but then feel like they’re gonna keep going any minute, but then don’t. And sometimes I’m waiting for chills and/or nausea to pass.
And it’s not one 30-minute visit, silly. It’s ten 3-minute visits. 
I’ve had it happen twice, both times were at my new work, and I’ve never encountered it previously. So I’m putting it down to some weird incompatability between my equipment and the loo’s at work.
I just am really careful at work now and have not had a problem since.
I know it’s a sexist joke, but I couldn’t help but chortle just a bit.
I never thought of this before, but I can’t imagine it was anyone but me. From what I recall, I was alone, both in the stall and in the bathroom in general. I would have had to be asleep for someone else to wet my pants, and that’s including the pee under the seat and on top of the bowl rim.
