    Is this a joke?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I shouldnt say this, if my woman saw it shed spot me straight away, but the first time we spent the weekend together, i went for a poop downstairs in the pub while she was asleep...it sounds funny, but for me, i didnt want to be making plopping sounds. seriously, everybody is human, but its understandable that youd be hesitant the first time away. after a while, it wont even cross your mind :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭kittex


    Bring a spray. ;)

    But seriously, girls know you go to the toilet. We also go to the toilet. She's probably worried too. You could pick your moment, make sure she's finished in the bathroom for the time being, have a shower etc.

    Make a joke dismissing it, laugh it off with a "Don't go in there for a few minutes".

    Maybe light a match or something? Does that work? Im sure a lighter would work also, if matches are a problem.:D

    Toilet seat up when your going for a pee.

    As a ski-holiday sharing an apartment with 5 other heavy drinking guys taught me, striking a match does indeed work...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,245 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Just pray you don't have an unflushable floater! i recommend a starting a high fiber diet now so as to avoid this potential problem!

    if only all lifes problems could be flushed away so easily

    Throw some toilet paper in the bowl before you go so you dont get a splash, turn on the tap if you're really paranoid. Spray/match for the smell. Or you could just pick up the paper and tell say "well, time for a poo" and just go.

    Almost right funk ...
    Throw some toilet paper in the bowl before you go so that the turd sits up nicely out of the water to allow the odours waft around do not flush :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    In all fairness, she's gonna have to go to the loo aswell. I was on a college field trip last year, sharing a hotel room with 2 girls in my class, we just did what we had to do!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭Ag marbh


    Do it with the shower on :)

    It's funny how everyone must have thought about this at some stage but yet it's something every human has to do. It's like being embaressed about blinking or breathing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,074 ✭✭✭BendiBus


    Do it while she's in the shower. Chat to her through the shower curtain.

    Don't flush in case you scald her in the shower. Let her flush it away when she's done.

    :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 114 ✭✭armitage_skanks


    I guess when you go away for the first time, you want everything to be perfect, and disappearing into the jacks for half an hour with a copy of the sun under your arm isnt exactly romantic. Just go easy on the curries and you should be grand.

    What's so uncivilised?

    Even Prince Charles has to use the bathroom around Camilla!

    great, thanks Slumped, thanks for bringing up the topic of the Royals, I just got a mental image of the Queen on the bog with an awfull dose of bad digestion


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    If it's brown flush it down. If it's yella leave it fella.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    what u should do is secretly rent out another room in the hotel or wherever and use that for goin for a crap. or u could say something like "OH MY GOD! U NEED TO GO TO THE SHOP QUICK AND BUY ME SOME ANTI-LEPROSY TABLETS!" or some other item. then while shes gone u can see Mr Brown and his friends off to the seaside in peace!

    luckily in my house i have an en suite and a main toilet on the landing. if i ever need to go when i have company, i leave the room and go next door! theres like 2 layers of walls in between so its handy for sound and smell purposes! haha.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 538 ✭✭✭~Leanne~


    Ah yous men are funny!!!
    Honestly she wont care - like its human nature, spray some lynx or similar afterwards or open window / leave fan on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    don;t mind the women! they dont know what they're talkin about! would u go around fartin in front of her? NO! even though "its natural"!!! easiest thing to do is wait til shes asleep! after all, would u wanna see her havin a big dirty crap? it'd turn u off a bit.

    girls don't go number 2. girls don't go number 2. girls don't go number 2.

    right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    What if you let a really huge, smelly fart ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    Everyone goes to the toilet. Fact.

    Just close the door first for the love of God, and most hotel bathrooms will have extractors anyway.

    After 6 years living with my bf, such relationship issues seem trivial ( as indeed they are)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Just close the door, don't laugh if you fart loudly (try spreading your cheeks if it's worrying you that much), and make sure to use a brush if you leave any residue.

    Flush the toilet, wash your hands, and then check the seat for any liquid (often, water can splash up while the toilet is flushing - you can get the blame). If it smells, it smells. She's not under any illusions about your **** not smelling. If you're *really* worried, tell her not to go in there for five minutes and leave the window open.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭hshortt


    If it's yellow let it mellow,
    If it's brown flush it down!

    From - Meet the Fockers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    If you put some shampoo or shower gel in just as you are flushing it'l mask the smell somewhat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭bounty_hunter

    Surely that would cause suspicious bubbles?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    Ahh but you see if there is some blockage - the bubbles will cover for a short time. Plus if you leave the seat down she wont look into the bowl.
    Mission acomplished

    I would consider a man leaving the seat down suspicious enough on its own tbh :p

    To keep on topic: OP, don't worry about it. Everybody does it. It might be slightly awkward for a minute or two if you're not very familiar with this girl, but she'll think nothing of it.

    TBH i've been in this situation loads of times and it has never occurred to me before that the toilet thing might even be an issue. Should I be worried??? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 494 ✭✭meowCat


    Totally stupid question now, but what's the story with the match or the lighter? Does it really help with the smell? :confused:

    I'm guessing the carbon absorbs the smell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Selik


    Or you could just make sure you have a dump that day shortly before you head out or whatever.... sorted. Unless you get the runs that is.:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭bug


    I imagine its a new relationship in which case I'd say if you're so mad about each other then it won't matter.
    Rose coloured glass and all that.

    But after my brother uses the jax I spray it with dettol spray. Its the only thing that makes it stop smelling like the dog died three years ago under the floor boards. :D

    Spreading your cheeks stops you from laughing? Must try that one some time. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    What a mad thread!

    OP, is there something seriously wrong with your bowels or is this some sort of phobia of yours or what?

    Well, on a practical note (ding!), go to the toilet soon enough after her each time to avoid her having to go straight after you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,784 ✭✭✭Dirk Gently


    Cough when you plop to disguise the sound of your superhuman mars bar hitting the water. Spray lynx in the room before you leave. As for the toilet seat, when will women ever think about mens needs. Seat should always be left up when you leave. Why should men do all the work with the seat. A little consideration from the women folk. It’s all me, me, me with women. What about my needs. What about mens needs I ask. An upright toilet seat will make a man appreciate his girlfriend more. Scientific fact! :p

    very true, this is indeed the highest stage of a relationship. True love.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    i think methane is supposed to be flammable. Im sure the match to clear the smell ploy is apocryphal though

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    :D Haha this is a funny thread it reminded me of something in a relationship I had. She'd always "allow" me one big fart a week. lol

    I being the romantic I am would always ensure I saved up the best for her...and with prior warning would let it go ...9/10 she'd cry laughin .. :D
    thats definitley when you know you're in love :D

    As for going the loo my experience is women are far worse in there than men (I should know I've worked as a barman for 6 years.) we may miss and hit the seat but how can you miss the toilet at point blank range :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Actually, you're staying at a hotel right? Well, if it really is that much of a deal, you could use the toilets in the hotels lobby, assuming they have them.

    I've actually tried that, and to be perfectly honest.. I don't notice much difference. It just adds the smell of smoke really ..

    Just do small things; wipe the toilet seat, put it down, and if need be.. bring a can of deodourant into it with you. If you're going to leave a smell, you might as well cover it up with a stronger one until they both go. Also, you can say that you were spraying deodourant in the toilet as you don't want to make the room all smelly.
