Haha guy at my work says the same thing. He actually gets mad when people start talking to him. I make it a point now to start up a conversation with him whenever he just enters his stall. he can't poop until I shut up.

People react this way when facing a grower rather than a shower in the locker room.

yeah of course, if that happens people better clear the way.
 
Meh, must be my military background but pretty much anything goes in the bathroom. Ever had to poop in a room that had no dividers at all? Just a wooden plank with 3 holes next to each other. You literally had to sit next to the other guys pooping. The "urninal" on the other wall was a trough.
 
Tallbill I've done the trough urinals, but only in awful parts of Europe (like England).

I liked the vid above of the fart contest.

awkward
 
More than anything, it bothers the hell out of me when a coworker decides to strike up a conversation while walking down the hallway, and then follows you into the restroom, continuing the conversation, even when they aren't using the restroom. I'd advocate passing laws prohibiting conversations in restrooms. 😛

I've seen people fall down on occasion when trying to do the whole change under the towel trick.

I just assume these guys are embarrassed by a below average endowment.

Indeed. 🙁

It's all in the head. There's all sizes and shapes in the wold, being self conscious about what you're packing is a waste of time.

I'm with you on this one. When that happens to me, I ask if they're gonna hold it for me, or wipe when I'm done. That usually gets the message across, and they F off.

With only two stalls and probably 150+ men on our floor, I'd never get to do my business if I followed that rule.

Skoorb's rule seems to be for the closet homosexual that is overly concerned someone will find out.

Seriously, grow the fuck up go in drop your duece and get out. So what if someone see's you. Be proud of your stink.
Though I agree there should be no talking unless you are praying to God or some other diety that the 3 day old turd will finally leave your bowels in one giagantic push.
 
I was sure this was a parody or joke thread by you, Skoorb. I am now forced to believe you were serious. This news saddens me. 🙁
 
I was just laughing at that. But it was your fault, you stopped to wash your hands. When you are alone you can stop, because no one knows what you were doing if they come in. But when your not alone, its up to you to maintain privacy. You wash your hands some other time. Upon rising, you walk straight out.

I agree that in retrospect that would have been a valid play. Plus, if I had escaped post-flush and before anybody else had come in, nobody would know I'm a non hand-washer.

I'm surprised this thread has drawn so much anger, including people insulting my sexuality and endowment. I can only assume that they enjoy seeing other men in the bathroom and sharing that special olfactory moment with them. Moreover, to bask within the stink of another and put a face to that stink, they can treasure this memory. Or maybe they didn't know about this rule that all men should know and are forgetting the lesson Aesop taught us about the sour grapes.

Next thing we know guys will stop respect the cardinal rule regarding #1 and which urinal to pick when another guy is already on one and there are only three.

Come back and post when that happens. Then you'll gain some sympathy.
