I was just in the restroom, taking car of business, so to speak, when I hear the rustling of cellophane coming from one of the stalls, followed by the unmistakable sound of chewing.
UGH!!
Can you think of a worse place to be eating lunch than the stall while you’re dropping the brown babies off at the pool?
Nasty, nasty, nasty!!!
No, no I can’t. That’s yucky.
Believe it or not, when we were teeners, I saw big bro go into the water closet, a book ine hand, and a PBJ in the other. The fart fan being turned on was a real giveaway as to what he was doing.
I asked: “EW!!” (yeah, I know, not a prper question) and he said, “Well, I was hungry, and I needed to go. So?”
Obviously, we are no longer close. ( 
)
You should have called out, “George? George Costanza, is that you?”
I don’t have a Time Machine™!
We were teeners in the 70s
Okay, so eating in the kitchen is fine. Eating in the bedroom is fine. Eating in a city street is fine. Eating in the middle of a cow field is fine. But not in a room that happens to have a toilet in it? I mean, if you’re careful about what you touch you shouldn’t have any trouble with eating your own shit or even someone elses shit.
I’ve done it before. Will probably do it again too. ::shrug::
So if you’re careful, you needn’t wash your hands afterward?
When I was in grade 6, I ate a candy bar in a stall in the girls’ room; I was hungry and couldn’t wait until lunch. The funny thing is, another girl heard the rustling and thought I was reading a note.
But I should add, I was standing up in the stall, not on the pot.
Talk about trying to maintain your weight.
Why not just cut out the middleman and drop it right in the bowl?
I have eaten a plate of peanut stew over rice while in the bathtub. Is that OK? (It was delicious, I must say . . .)
Seems to me that the objection is not as much to the room as to concurrent activities. Isn’t “Don’t shit where you eat” a relatively well known expression? I’d imagine the converse to be equally wise.
I read somewhere that smell is a big component of taste. Obviously,some people have no taste.
WTF is peanut stew ?
That just sounds evil.
Or maybe the poor sucker was opening a safety-seal on some stomach medicine?
The kind that comes in chewable tablets?
Like pepto bismol ?
Cut the poor slob a little slack, people!
I read somewhere that Romans toliets were in the kitchen.
Ugh

No, it’s yummy! It’s an African dish. Mostly vegetables (my recipe has carrots, yams, cabbage, onion, red pepper, and tomato) stir-fried up in the wok, then cooked down in some veggie broth for about 15 minutes, then topped with about 1/4 cup of spicy peanut sauce and served over rice. I usually sprinkle some extra peanuts on mine. I don’t like cabbage, onion, or red pepper, but I love peanut stew.
OK, I’ll stop with the recipes so we can go back to the toilet talk.
Smell is definitely a big component of taste, which is why things don’t taste as good when you have a cold.
Eating while on the toilet is really really disgusting. I used to think it was pretty gross when people would eat in the lounge area of the ladies room when there was a perfect acceptable break room in the same building. Why would anyone choose to eat in the bathroom?
