Ode to pooping at work

Yes!
When I used to work for a larger company, the younger crowd (men, since it's engineering) used to occasionally have discussions on the unspoken rules of using stalls & urinals.
Which one to go to, which to choose... and most important, who-uses-which.

LOL on the shoe thing.
I usually sway my feet to one side if somebody adjacents-me.

The fake-cough when somebody enters is my fave unspoken communication. All must understand the meaning.
It announces "I'm in mid-dump. You can piss & leave, but you shall not stay for your own dump. Get the **** out."

Hillarious...and true on so many levels.

I go through the same recognitions... "Size 15 loafers... that's Andrew in Developing" "Columbian Mountain Climbers - Gord in Systems Analysis" ... And "Black and White Loafers... that's my BA buddy Colin...oh Colin such funny shoes... and SHIT SHIT SHIT... he's the only one who recognizes my shoes and will toss stuff over the wall at me".

"An anonymous shit is a beautiful thing!!!" lol exactly what goes on through my mind when I have a new pair of kicks on casual friday!

Thanks dobber... great way to start my day!

LOL! The benefit of wearing a uniform to work is everyone has the same style of shoes (well, for us its boots) so unless you worry about the size of someones feet and their boot size, they all look the same.

Good one.

(Common sense!)

Although, I actually noted something to suggest the cases were not "life-like".
All men were holding with their left hand.
Most men are RH, and thus hold with their right hand.
{Gattica. Good movie.}

Also, this is why any public bathroom designer worth their paycheck will put in an ODD number of urinals. The only difference between 5 and 6 is that the sixth urinal effs-up the selection logic.

Fifteen years ago when I was in Turkey on vacation, my brother and I had adjacent rooms and the hotel had really thin walls. One day it just happened that we went to go number two at the same time. So we kind of take turns letting huge farts rip and just laugh our asses off because it's all clearly audible through the walls. We also, to this day, frequently call each other when we're sitting on the john. Are we weird?

Only if you call unloaded just to listen

No, we get that out of the way first, then call. We're not barbarians.

I had to go there! I read to quick and went oh my, then I read again and couldn't resist.

Ahh the joys of a family business I can walk to my parents house to shit in peace. It's one block from our office.

That story reminded me of the time I took my son into the washroom at the mall. He was about five years old, and had to do a number two. I allowed him to go into a stall by himself, took a quick look around, saw no one else in the bathroom, and ensconced myself in the stall next to him to do my duty while he was preoccupied. The short silence that followed was interrupted by my son ripping a fart that echoed off the walls. I let out a chuckle, and in doing so, may have passed some gas myself. He then took to laughing uncontrollably, and, shocker, the farts started ringing loud and clear. To make it even funnier he said (quite loudly I might add): "It sounds like bombs going off, Dad". Very funny. Afterwards, I warned him not to say anything to his mother as I suspected her sense of humour was not quite as twisted as the two of ours was.

The moral of this story is: Poop is always funny unless somehow you get it on you. Then it is just s**t.

We have this one truly awesome bathroom at work. Sink and toilet out in the open, plus a stall. Truly idiotic design, because if you were to sit on that toilet in the open, you are creating a horrendously awkward situation for the poor sap who comes in and has to walk past you to use the stall, or who just wants to wash his hands. If someone is already in the stall, and you were to sit on that toilet in the open, you would effectively trap the other guy in the stall until you were done. He'd have to sit there and pretend he was still pooping, just to avoid walking past you, and standing next to you while washing up.

We also have a bathroom/lunchroom combo. Stall, sink, table and chairs.


And no, I don't work in Sochi.
