I can't poop publicly. Unless it's an emergency. It's like a mental block.

Now we are fighting about pooping instead of just talking about it a lot.
Huh.

I am seriously wondering if I’m pooping wrong now. Can you guys control how it plops? It just comes out how it comes out. I read everybody poops and there’s nothing in there about how to control how poop splashes and such. Or do people just hold it until they go home from work in 8 hours? What am I missing about not pooping in the work bathroom? I will say this until the day I die. The beauty of courtesy flushes is that it not only disguises the smell but it also disguises the plop! 2 birds with one stone.

So asking someone to pump your gas will give you social anxiety, but if you’re in a public restroom with other people, you have no problem blowing it up? I don’t get it, I guess I'll just have to find a way to carry on without you getting it. BTW for some who got super pissed at my not generally liking an exercise class that brings you mental peace, this was a shitty AF snipe at an actual issue I deal with. Cool. There’s no snipe? I’m being for real. You and I have talked and agreed we don’t let our kids in the bathroom when we’re going because it’s private. You have talked about how public interactions make you uncomfortable, which I get. If you’re reading it as a dig, it’s not. It doesn’t jive with everything I know about you. I think you’re reading it as if I’m throwing it in your face, and that wasn’t my intent. My intent was to say “loudly pooping in public is very un-Scoutlike.”

I spent 45 minutes on a toilet in a large public restroom at a concert venue last weekend, because I'm pregnant and constipated AF and I'll tell you the gas pains were hell. If I could have put a lid on it for others' sake, trust I would have.

You should assume some lack of privacy when it comes to hearing others. I don't believe people can control the volume of their excretions, as a general rule. Nor do I think they are purposefully excreting loudly. It's just what it is. I poop at normal volume, and sometimes in public restrooms. So I guess you can consider me multi-facited. I don't see much comparison between letting my children into my home bathroom, where I expect some level of privacy. There is exactly zero correlation between this and interacting with someone on a one to one basis, such as your pumping gas example. Where you have to talk, make eye contact, interact for request and payment. I don't know that I feel like explain social anxiety and how it works much deeper than that.

I’ve never been a public pooper.. so much so that when I went on two separate week long school trips, I held it for the entire week. That’s serious public poo anxiety.
A co-worker always uses the one stall attached to a personal office. The noises my co-worker hears is gross. It’s very simple to flush, or even run the water. An emergency I get, but every.single.day.. no.

I put this in both bathrooms at work and I use it often. It doesn't control any sound there may be, though.

I just pooped in a busy work bathroom. relevant anecdote
But really, if I have to go, I have to go. There is no holding it in my digestive life.

I also get apk being annoyed at a bathroom that’s constantly being blown up and the smell seeps into the lobby. I understand things happen and sometimes you make noise and public bathroom life, but I didn’t read apk as actually requesting people to stop using it, just having Private Thoughts of “ugh gross”, as most of us would. I have anxiety, I get it. I try not to poop in public, unless it’s necessary. I have seen it mentioned in this thread, movies, from other people, that pooping in public is a huge mental hurdle. That was the correlation I made and I was surprised. It would be like you being an avid rafter, it wasn’t the Scout I knew. Now I know.

The only time I have ever been annoyed by shitting in a public bathroom was the time I went into our mall family bathroom area (has cubicle things for nursing, bottle warmers, kids play area, and a large family bathroom stall with a regular toilet and a toddler toilet), and was waiting for like 10 minutes with my newborn in the stroller for the bathroom. This dude walks out, by himself, no kids.
I gave him a major side eye.

I can't say I'm bothered by people shitting in a public restroom. I don't feel that is A This Place. It's a bathroom. If people are literally having explosive diarrhea daily, perhaps the coffee machines and water provided need to be examined. That sounds like a hazmat situation. #PoopBreezy I was going to say the same thing regarding possible contamination issues or something. Why are people constantly just shitting their brains out every single day? Makes no sense to me.

I'm sure I'll get eyerolls and #thisplace-ed for this, but anyway....at my old office, there was a woman that blew up the bathroom on a regular basis. Noisy AF, and didn't care if someone else was in another stall. She "let her poop flag fly," if you will. It sounded so gross and it was so awkward.
I left that job, kept in touch with some former coworkers (but not the pooper). One day about a year later, one of those former coworkers emailed and said "Did you hear? Sue (the explosive pooper) died last week."
Sue died of colorectal cancer, which is fucking awful (my grandma also had it). So yeah, those poopsplosions were an indicator of a bigger issue that was not in her control. I try to keep my poop annoyance to a minimum now.

My confession: Last weekend we were at a museum gift shop and I told my son he could pick out anything he wanted as long as it was less than $10. He saw a plush Audobon society bird that fit the bill (lol) but I nixed it because it made noise (bird song, but still). He ended up picking out a little fossil page and seemed happy enough but on the ride home he had the biggest tantrum of his life. Like, he’s not a kid who ever cries because he doesn’t get what he wants and I don’t think he’s ever cried more than about 5 minutes in a row in his life but he sat in the car and sobbed for nearly an hour. All week off and on he’s started crying and saying that he wants that bird and this morning he started crying again I just caved and found the bird on amazon and bought it. Fingers crossed that it’s only two more days of random silent sobbing. (Also, I sort of get the feeling this bird might somehow be a stand in for our cat who died a few weeks ago). you know you're setting a bad precedent. Cry scream and tantrum and you get a reward.

I was soooo paranoid and careful when I spread some of my late H’s ashes. I brought them to a nice spot on a hiking trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, because the Rockies were his favorite place in the whole world. It was tough because I picked a beautiful day on the trail so there was a lot of foot traffic. So I did the spreading pretty quickly and then sat and meditated on it for a while to sort of pay respects. I guess part of that confession is that the hike and spreading his ashes was more meaningful to me than his funeral. It might be because I was over a year past the initial shock phase of grief though. This sounds really beautiful and I'm glad that you had that moment.

But don't you get shit water spray on your ass? This was going to be my question. I didn’t realize courtesy flush meant flush mid poop. That would not work for me because of the splash. But I guess not everyone has super high powered toilets at their work place that suck everything up as effectively? I have never done a courtesy flush, I guess.

I am watching dumb kid videos hoping YouTube can teach my kid Korean because I feel like I am totally failing it. It taught my kid sign language well enough that she was able to have an unassisted conversation with a child who’s deaf at a playground a few weeks ago. I didn’t even realize what was happening until the other mom approached me. I say conversation—they weren’t like, chatting about their day. They were just playing but were able to stay on the same page.

At former company a disgruntled employee pooped regularly in a trash can in the main conference room. It got to the point where management had to ask IT to set up cameras to figure out who it was.

And now he gets angry when I speak to him in Korean.
