    Option 2 for definite.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Our staff toilets are separate from each other so I can do my business in peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I go at home.

    Do you sit very near the toliet OP?

    Every office has a special toilet that is hidden away for number 2s. find it.

    Or getting off on people getting off on knowing that they can hear you do your "business". I'd make as much noise as possible. Y'know alleviates any and all embarrassment. Quick stroll back to the desk paper under arm, whistling some random tune.

    Honestly Neesa, just because it's also called a cubicle doesn't mean you should use it like a cubicle you'd find in a toilet. The one where your computer is, is a completely different thing.

    At this stage it's just embarrassing for everyone in the office.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭hiltonhater


    thankfully you cant hear anything here BUT when my boss goes he ALWAYS takes around 15 minutes in there. and this could be anything up to 4 times per day. i didnt think it was natural to need to poo that many times in a day and i dont wanna entertain the idea he could be otherwise occupying himself!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭hottstuff


    What's worse is talking about knowing how uncomfortable some poo's can be.

    Exits with a whiff........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,375 ✭✭✭kmick


    Whats actually worse is that some dikchead out there decided that instead of having a seperate private cubicle we should be forced to endure the sounds and smells so that we dont stay in there too long. In the US now a lot of the toilets in work places actually have gaps in the frame which allow people to see in as you drop the kids to the pool. As you can imagine it forces people to do their business at home or VERY fast.

    Yes, I do sit very near the toilets. One person kept going in there quite frequently yesterday and soon as the door was shut some very loud noises came from the room. Although there is a chance he could have been just constatly blowing his nose but why shut the door for that?

    There aren't seperate mens/ladies toilets in my office. Just a room with two little cells cubicles and a sink. One cubicle for the men, the other for the ladies.

    Some guy in work was taking a shyte in the cubical beside me, I was in tears laughing at how bad it was. Sounded like baghdad after 9/11. I can't imagine how he felt in that positin being laughed at through the walls and all he could do was continue in shame.

    sorry

    The "toliet room" is right next to the kitchen. Would you like me to send you out an application form?

    Not mine :( And the light's broken so you have to leave the door slightly open. Obviously I wait till I get home to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    There's four cubicles in my work and i always go for onE ON either end, i hate sitting in the middle. Imagine being surrounded, either side.
    But what really wrecks my head is when i'm in one of the end cubicles and the other three are free, someone comes in and goes into the cubicle right next to mine!! Why would you deliberately choose to have a ****e beside someone with only a frame to separate!!!???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    I sh1t as much as I can in work. It offers me occasional respite from the drudgery of the working day. I also make a point of being as noisy as Ilike and really enjoy my dump.

    I sh1t in the disabled toilet where no one can hear me. There is also like a head rest thingy there you can lean you head on for some post-peristalsis relaxation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Just ask them to stick down a 'silencer' before they go.

    I too like to shit as much as possible in work. I'm a contractor so I get paid to sit there and shit :D

    Also it saves on toilet paper at home.

    I've noticed that!! Why is that happening??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    I'm a social poo-er, tear down those walls people!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 324 ✭✭Joe Cool


    People in my place tend to make seriously weird noises, mini productions (involving pre and post preparation) and some even mutter.

    Would much rather they got to listen to my stealth manoeuvres.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    The hearing doesn't really bother me, unless they're a squeezer that is. It's the smelling that I'd be worrying about.

    Nothing worse than being in a cubicle next to someone dropping some serious A-bomb material.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    You people never heard of "The Firemans Blanket"??

    Two or three layers of shíte paper into the bowl to break the fall.

    She'll plop into the paper like a dropped cat and sink gently beneath the waves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    I was in a cubicle once and the guy next to me let go a MASSIVE fart. i could hear him giggling afterwards.

    thats bad public toilet etiquette i reckon.

    you should have told him to get out of your cubicle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    Luckily in my building, the jacks are away from the main office. I know which cubicle to avoid because the toilet's useless at despatching no. 2.

    I'm a bit weird though - if I'm in the jacks and someone in the cubicle beside mine finishes their business first and heads out to the washbasins, I stay put til they clear orf. I once had to stay in the cubicle for 10 minutes because some stupid cow was putting on tons of make-up and then her phone rang. She took the feckin' call in the toilets. After hiding in my cubicle for the guts of 5 minutes what could I do only stay hidden?

    askin people to get out of your cubicle is also bad toilet etiquette. you have to contact your solicitor who will ask a judge to order him to leave. :D

    I'm mostly working during the night so I have nothing short of serenity to launch Mr. Hanky.

    My previous Job however was like this....

    The second option is worse... Where I work there are single toilets dotted around the building aswell as the main jax, so I use them, no cubicles, just privacy and comfort!

    the disabled jax FTW


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭Hansel


    I'm very stealthy in my pooing. I drop a load of bog paper down before i go to prevent and sploshing sounds (this also prevents wet arse). this way, the only sounds i'll make are the inevitable farts echoing around the bowl.
