AIBU in liking to do poos high up in buildings

TiggyD · 23/04/2012 21:19

because I can imagine all the fun they can have on the way down? Especially in old buildings where the drains go here, there and everywhere. If you poo in the ground floor toilet your poo is in the overcrowded drain in seconds, jostling it's way down the sewer. With a high level poo, it gets whooshed around, up and down on an exciting roller-coaster of a ride.

Thinking of the welfare of my poos isn't unreasonable is it?

YADNBU - I have issues with doing one in the downstairs loo at home. It has to travel sideways to reach the main waste pipe, therefore high risk of blockage. Doing a poo upstairs, no problems at all, gravity helps it whizz along on its happy way.

DH is proud of the fact that he had to poo while we were on the observation floor of the Empire State Building.

Poophysics101: Aeroplane toilets have different ground flushes and inflight flushes. On the ground the poo is actively sucked away but in the air it's simply pushed/pulled along the pipes by the pressure differential between the pressurised cabin and the unpressurised waste tank. Here endeth the lesson

wonderfull. Laughing so much I have tears running down my face. Will find a tall building and think abou it lol

EduStudent · 25/04/2012 23:47

Tiggy That is genius! Why have I never considered this?!

Must find a tall tower. I do try and wee in the toilets of significant places. I have weed in Buckingham Palace.

TalcAndTurnips · 26/04/2012 07:55

And Tiggy - what are your views on Saniflo loos?

No fun there for poor Richard and his colonic compatriots - almost as soon as they are 'released,' they are dispatched with brutal speed in the whirling teeth of a macerator, before being whisked away - their pulverised remains certain to traumatise and terrify any innocent turd bystanders in the local sewer.

Amnesty have campaigned for years to have these weapons of mass fecal destruction outlawed - only to be thwarted time after time, by legions of selfish pensioners and overcrowded families wishing to install loos in cellars and downstairs cupboards Angry

Does anyone feel an MN campaign coming on?

theressomethingaboutmarie · 26/04/2012 08:47

I'm not sure about the high buildings thing but I recall immense satisfaction at having a crap in the Trump building in New York.

ColinFirthsGirth · 26/04/2012 09:44

I hadn't thought of it like that before but I am definitely going to now!

I really want to poo in a tall building now!

Can't think of any really tall buildings where I live though, may have to visit a city to do this.

ColinFirthsGirth · 26/04/2012 09:47

oh and I like sandy boots idea of an opening ceremony. Maybe every new building should have a bowel opening ceremony!

OlaRapaceFru · 26/04/2012 16:33

Tiggy, I'm getting a bit worried about you - you seem to be a little obsessed with poos at the moment Confused Grin

But ... I have to say this is a hilarious thread. I rather like ChameleonC's comment : "DH is proud of the fact that he had to poo while we were on the observation floor of the Empire State Building."

I'm afraid I have visions of a grown man squatting on the observation floor (I'm sure he just used the 'facilities')

PrisonerOfWaugh · 26/04/2012 16:41

I had some interesting poos in Nepal in their quaintly named 'long-drop' toilets (i.e. a hole in the ground of a hut built over a very big drop). Without exception they all had beautiful views - I thought at the time, what a lovely resting place for all those mini-me's

5Foot5 · 26/04/2012 16:54

Oh I didn't read the thread title properly - I had this mental image of you standing up on the seat and taking careful aim.....

TiggyD · 26/04/2012 20:55

Some loos mash up your poos Talc?! That's terrible. We don't do that to people waiting at a bus stop, so why treat poos that way?

The world would be a happier place if everybody were more like poos. Particularly ones that you've dressed up in little hats and jackets and put in rows so it looks like you've got an army of little poo men ready to fight on your behalf if some bastard vandalises you car again.

TalcAndTurnips · 26/04/2012 21:39

Yes Tiggy - these murdering BASTARDS ~Angry~

I saw a poo waiting to cross the road once (apols - I have related this touching anecdote before).

It was right on the kerb; standing on end, perfectly upright.

I should have taken a picture on my phone, but mobiles hadn't been invented then. Sad

This is clearly (!) what's needed here...

TalcAndTurnips · 29/04/2012 23:20

My god - I think you've just found Tiggy's fantasy loo Grin

OlaRapaceFru · 30/04/2012 06:52

Oh.My.Lord. There's no way I'd even walk into that bathroom/loo. Envy = vertigo

But, yes Talc, I can see that Tiggy would be in seventh heaven - what if the pipework was see-through as well? Shock Grin

TiggyD · 30/04/2012 07:50

I get vertigo and never step on those glass floors they have in tall buildings. I only go up them to poo.

My fantasy would be a building that's quite tall with plumbing that's see through and a bit like one of those marble runs. Wiggles, spirals, loop the loops, drops, etc.

The new look Houses of Parliament

TiggyD · 30/04/2012 07:59

That gives me a great new idea for poo world. The poos come out of a chute onto a table like affair. Along the side are water guns and you get to squirt the poos down the table to the next ride. A bit like men squirting urinal cakes along the trough with their own squirters.

OP posts:
TalcAndTurnips · 30/04/2012 08:05

Are you seeing this scenario as some sort of government Cabinet Office, Tiggy?

I think it might help them to make some more considered and fair policies - I'm all for it.

OlaRapaceFru · 30/04/2012 08:20

Shit Minister? Minister Of Poos? Hmm, they have a certain 'something' Grin

I think it would have to be a sort of glass trough, Tiggy, if it's a table they could go skidding off the edge

OlaRapaceFru · 30/04/2012 08:21

Oh no - I've got it - Grand Poobah
