I don't like any of the Lady Gaga or Bradley Cooper music. So, the one song? Lol. Or do you mean her songs separately as well?

I can poop without abandon in pretty much any public restroom except at work. I just switched jobs in April and my old job had 3 single stall restrooms on my floor which was amazing for this purpose. My new job has a few throughout the building but they are often in use because everyone wants to poop privately. For some reason I just don’t like to do it in a place where I will see my secretary or boss come out of the stall next to me. 🤷🏻♀️ I just don't exit until everyone else does. If it takes an extra five minutes of waiting, then so be it lol I think this is what everyone does and then sometimes it turns into a battle of two people waiting for the other to exit first lol.

Yeah I’ve been in a few of these stand (sit) offs at my work. But I refuse to poop until everyone exits so it can be a difficult time for me.

My office had some leftover money in the budget for building improvements and installed a speaker system that allows piped in music to be played in the lobby. Various other departments requested that it be installed in their areas too. The woman I share an office with requested that it be installed in our office. I do not want to listen to music all day. I struggle to hear people on the phone as it is. I prefer to work in relative quiet. Plus my officemate and I rarely agree on anything so I am positive our tastes in music would vary. I am sure it would be just one more thing that irritates me about her/my office/my job. But I feel like an asshole being the only one in the entire office who doesn't want to listen to music all day. I don’t think your request for quiet is unreasonable. In my former job, we actually had a policy against music in the lab for this reason. I didn’t like it but I understood it.

Yeah this would be a hell no for me. Are y’all allowed to wear headphones? There isn't an official rule but since I have a number of walk-in people to serve daily, I probably wouldn't. Also I'm sure it would start a whole big thing with coworker drama which I try to avoid like the plague but somehow keep failing at. I have some very determined (or bored?) coworkers. Blech.

I actually don’t know if my current job has that policy, but I usually listen to the radio for a couple hours in the early AM and then shut it off when people start filtering in around 7.

We had 2 private rooms before and it was phenomenal. Especially for my first couple post partum periods. Thank God we had a cabinet where I could store a change of clothes. I get so annoyed when people interrupt my pooping now. Hurry up and pee and get out, I'm in the middle of something over here.

If there is a standoff, the other person surely won't be coming out until I leave the restroom altogether.

I would be so upset about mandatory music in an office setting. It sucked having to listen to musak when I worked at a bank in college but hell no to in an office. I listen to my own music quietly most of the day but I have my own office and white noise blasts throughout our office suite so it’s not an issue.

I accidentally showed my FIL my butt via FaceTime while trying to show him my gnarly bruise on the back of my leg. 🤦🏼♀️ One year for Christmas we got FIL a new chair for his desk. He put it together, sat down, started spinning, etc. I happened to be sitting on the floor and saw that a certain part of FIL's anatomy had fallen out and could be seen since he was wearing shorts. 🙊

I need to work on the TETO thing.

The idea of constant music in my workplace is making me angry.
I'm pretty noise sensitive. I would be wearing noise cancelling headphones and if they had a problem with it, I would tell them it's the music.

I do listen to stuff while working but in my personal earbuds.

The cabbage soup diet was in my mom’s regular fad food diet rotation growing up. So, so bad.

I can't imagine any circumstance in which I would be having any piece of this conversation with my FIL. He asked about the equally gnarly bruise on my knee and tried to show him the one on the back of my leg. Both from the attack of the baby gate. Why are baby gates attacking you? All of mine are pretty well-tempered. #blessed

I hate people pooping in the bathroom. Literally we had to install an extra air freshener because all day long people are shitting in the first floor bathroom. They leave their shit piles there half the time. You can smell it in the hallway.
Also, everyone knows the poop floor is the most vacant floor of the building. NOT the first floor. Come on, man.

my two year old is showing signs of wanting to go on the potty, and as excited as I am to become a diaper free household, I am not mentally prepared to do potty training so soon. with the 3 year old, we basically waited until he was physically ready and just cut him off cold turkey. the two year old can't even really get himself ONTO the potty safely. ugh. I've been putting my 2YO on the potty for a while and it doesn't seem like a big deal to help him on and off the potty. We also have a little one in his room that he can use by himself.

I hate people pooping in the bathroom. They're going to start shitting right on your desk with that attitude.
Kidding. Maybe.

I think if others can easily hear your music/radio, I agree you should use headphones. For me, no one can hear my music outside of my office since I've tested the volume to make sure. I think its extremely impolite to impose your music/talk radio on others. I'd just be annoyed at being forced to listen to the same music pipeline every day without any choice in the matter.

Maybe helps somewhat fill you up? This diet seems like a disaster. But I also have terrible willpower, and am already hungry most of the time.

FILs birthday was earlier this week and it was a BIG number birthday. On the day, DH took his dad to lunch and learned MIL hadn’t done anything to acknowledge it. Only after letting her know we were going to surprise FIL with cake at our house did she step up and do something. I had many private thoughts since and today I am just sad that MILs behavior is fully accepted in DH’s family even though after nearly 20 years together I should be used to it.

But I also have terrible willpower, and am already hungry most of the time. There is zero chance this is prescription for long term weight loss and keeping it off, so presumably it's a detox kind of thing. I don't like it, it feels quite disordered to me, but I am not an expert.
