You think office bathrooms are uncomfortable? Try taking a sh!t in a public school. I've done it twice. Once I snuck into the faculty restroom and took the handicapped stall. That was pleasant. The other time, I was about to drop a wet load in my pants and had to hurry my ass up and get to the nearest john. That was not pleasant.

my gripe is when guys take a p!ss in the toilet with the seat down when there are open wall stalls that are for that very purpose.

if you are going to p!ss in the stall, stand on the floor
if you are going to p!ss on the floor, stand in the stall

The school restrooms at my high school were used exclusively for smoking weed.

Why don't you post your template for "how to live life" and we'll just all follow that. People have opinions & preferences. No really, they do.

by the way, that's what i call CRAPPING in a thread... :p

I used to read a column in the school newspaper about the writer going around town and campus reviewing different bathrooms. It was funny stuff, but I also got a few tips from it.

The worst, though, is if you need or want privacy. It's inevitable that the night after you drank a lot of beer and you're about to have one of those "sounds like you dumped a cup of water in the toilet" .... some one will come in.


It's actually gotten to the point where I have had show-downs with fellow bathroom goers... I'll try and wait them out, and from the lack of sound coming from next door, I assume that are doing the same. Some times when I really need to go I'll start talking smack to them in my head.

"This guy thinks he can out wait me? I hope he didn't have tacos last night"

"Oh for christ sakes, look at this wanker's shoes. What an amateur. I can't believe a guy with shoes like THAT is going to try to out wait me...what a tard

Your thoughts?

its so true!!!!! i agree 100% the wait out!

I remeber in university the washrooms in the well traveled areas were discusting all the time. I went over to the physics building and on the top floor which were all labs they had a huge washroom always in mint shape that no one was ever in.

I purposely try to make as much noise as possible... even when uncalled for, to make people like the OP even more uncomfortable. ;)

Some people need to get a grip. I've never wiped a toilet seat down before using it (unless someone pissed on the seat or something), yet somehow I've never suffered any ill effects. The same goes for the people who use a paper towel to avoid touching the bathroom door handle on the way out.

It's a fscking bathroom, folks. Do your business and move on. I agree that a certain standard of hygiene is a good thing (like washing your hands after taking a dump) but there's a very definite line between good hygiene and Howard Hughes-ish behavior.

If you can't handle the fact that someone might actually hear your poo plopping into the toilet, I suggest you get a colostomy so you can experience the joy of hauling a bag of half-digested feces around instead of using the bathroom and not freaking out about the fact that your boss might be taking a piss in the stall right next to you.

i once worked with a man at best buy that kept a box of latex gloves, heavy-duty paper towel, and some 90% rubbing alcohol. he was the lead tech. every now and then, you could see him stiff-walking his way back to the bathrooms with all 3 items in his hand :)

Be careful, meltdown75 may get ornary on you for telling people to get a grip!

I laughed, but maybe because I'm watching the Art of the Fart on the Harold and Kumar go to White Castle dvd extra right now.

The UNOFFICIAL USER GUIDE to using the TOILET in the OFFICE.

1. Lift the seat if you are just peeing. It's common courtesy and it keeps the seat clean.
2. Flush always afterwards and wash your filthy hands. (This is for the animals who don't do this simple step)
3. For the days when it's going to EXPLODE your azz into the toilet, simply FLUSH the toilet right before you release and that should cover up most of the sounds. If you have to do it more than 2-3-4, etc.. times, then flush it!
4. Wipe down the seat with a dry tissue,
5. Please use the paper/azz gasket.

:D Yep! No worries about clogging or anything (though I HAVE managed to clog even the super hi-pressure vacuum industrial toilets - just once.). And even if you do clog, no worries about plunging, just walk away whistling.

I have done this multiple times. I have clogged the best of the best crappers. I feel it is the one thing I am good at. lol

& Modeps, sorry dude didn't mean to freak out on you. In hindsight, it reads: "i am a bitch and am having a bad day." but thread crapping does hit a nerve the odd time. correct me if i'm wrong but you were telling everyone above to "grow the f up" - harsh?

i'm new, don't mind me
