I have ibs so I have no choice. When I have the 'call to stool' I have to do it, sometimes it's painful if i don't go. I'm past caring, I try to time it but sometimes you just can't. I try flushing as well.

I've nearly pooed in my pants trying to get to the loo in time.

So do spare a thought for them!

Yep, that does sound extremely odd and repressed. Did ex-h learn to be a bit more free and easy?

'in the 38 years i have been married to MIL i have never known when she was menstruating'.

Shock blimey, that's something!! Did your chin hit the floor!!?? I think my face would have said it all!

With us catus because it was so normal and not a novelty no one batted an eye lid - it's not as if any of us stared at genitals or did cartwheels.

Whereas i found my friends would really stare at people in changing rooms etc so fascinated were they by the bits.

Spuddybean · 05/07/2012 15:23

i just stammered 'how could you not know? why wouldn't she just say, i'm feeling a bit unwell etc'

He was getting redder in the face with rage and explained that some things are 'personal'. Hmm weird more like.

(this is the same leg in the air murder family)

catus · 05/07/2012 15:27

Spuddy. Agree.
And I also don't get the outrage at sharing a toothbrush. What's the big deal? I even lent my toothbrush to my MIL once. Why not?

squoosh · 05/07/2012 15:30

spuddy you should have started saying things like 'vulva', 'anus', 'penis', and then worked up to 'blowjob' and 'bum sex'. Purely scientific, just to see exactly what it took to bring on a mild stroke.

TheSmallClanger · 05/07/2012 15:45

I have IBS and get horrible cronking stomachaches if I hold it in. I can poo anywhere, as long as there's no-one standing directly outside.

People who are prissy about the true function of the toilet, and who like to make up rules governing its use in public, annoy me.

Spuddybean · 05/07/2012 15:59

catus i mentioned on a lighthearted thread once that i shared a toothbrush with DP, and used my parents and friends when i stayed at theirs, and that they always used mine. It almost went nuclear -Seriously people were being extremely unpleasant to me and how they'd never allow me in their house etc.

People were saying 'how can you put your DP's toothbrush in your mouth'?? i felt obliged to point out that when you regularly put someones cock in your mouth their toothbrush isn't such a big deal!

I think i actually heard a gasp Grin

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 05/07/2012 16:02

I know you speak sense spuddy but I could t do it! Even though dps cocknus arguably a lot more unpleasant than his toothbrush.

Spuddybean · 05/07/2012 16:06

whos what's a cocknus? it sounds like some unholy genital combination!

Krumbum · 05/07/2012 16:14

We have our own toothbrushes because it makes sense to, They do last longer that way. But we have occasional used each others accidentally or when we have been away and forgotten one. It's not the end of the world. I'd rather have clean teeth.
But neither of us has gum disease. If someone does don't use their toothbrush!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 05/07/2012 16:22

Blush my dp said all men have them? long and pink with bristles on the end?

SPsFanjoLovesRussellHoward · 05/07/2012 16:24

spud I thought the same! I thought she was sayin his cock anus Grin

Never heard of them

Spuddybean · 05/07/2012 16:25

i feel quite hard done by that my DP doesn't have a cocknus :(

Does it clean your teeth at the same time?

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 05/07/2012 16:25

Shuddering at the thought of a cockanus!
I think I meant cock IS more unpleasant than his toothbrush.

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 05/07/2012 16:26

Thats a good idea mind. CockyBrush - Kill Two Birds with One Stone.

Spuddybean · 05/07/2012 16:28

i dread to think what the 'toothpaste' would be!

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 05/07/2012 16:30

Im on the phone to the patents office right now!

Steely57 · 31/01/2020 20:26

You dont poo quietly. Do what you need to do. I dare you! Do you have the confidence to be a real human being

IcedPurple · 31/01/2020 22:23

What's 'pebble dash'?

bridgetreilly · 31/01/2020 22:25

Oh, FFS. Toilets are for pooing in. This is completely normal and natural and it is utterly ridiculous to expect people to pretend they are not doing it. EVERYONE POOS. Literally everyone. Get over it.

bugbhaer · 31/01/2020 22:30

Why post on this zombie thread? What is wrong with you @Steely57 ?

Sparklesocks · 31/01/2020 22:30

Steely57 this thread is almost 8 years old...I doubt this is still in the forefront of OP’s mind...

TheDarkPassenger · 31/01/2020 22:39

I was so embarrassed by poo for so long. Then I got bowel issues and now I don’t give a shit Wink

No honestly like I’ll poop anytime, anywhere.

My partner shat himself when he was poorly and tried to hide it, I knew exactly what he was doing (from experience) poor guy. We (I) laugh about it now.
