To poo in a public toilet?

[ThePortlyPinUp]

Can't be arse to name change so here goes,

We've been out to our local social club for the evening, I went to the toilet and couldn't help but poo whilst I had a wee. My friends dc's (age 9-10) made a comment when I rejoined the table and asked if I'd had a poo, they made a bit of a song and dance about it all and I felt embarrass but brazened it out and said that at least I'd used the toilet and not shit on the table which I'm fairly sure would be anti sociable. Best friends do then took the piss too, so an ibu by using the public convience when I had no other option?!

I wanna know if they knew or were just being silly? At work if someone asks where someone is who is away from their desk some clever dick always says they're having a poo. Just stupid childishness not a actual intimate knowledge if the other persons bowel habits!

The dc's had come into the toilets behind me and obviously left before me hence them already being at the table before I got back. Friends dp is only just 20 and juvenile at the best of times but that's a whole other thread!

I really don't understand when people say they don't poo in certain places. When I have to go I have to go so don't have a choice about which toilets I use! I can't get up in the morning and decide whether to poo now or poo at work - I either have to go or I don't.

I was totally perplexed by the storyline in SATC about this. Remember Charlotte was saying she'd never "done a no 2" in a man's apartment. Had never even known that was a thing to worry about.

Do I have poor bowel control or something? Should I be able to dictate when I do or don't go??!

OP YANBU.

before reading this thread I innocently believed that loos were there for the purpose of expelling wee and poo.
Life is a learning journey and all that...

You're not alone Nugget. I need to go, I go. But I don't tend to need to go in a situation like that - in a stranger's flat or whatever. I poo often at work though!

I try not to. But I was at a campsite the other night and had to. Some people came in after and said'tut smells like someones pooed in here' I had to brazen it out too because my cubicle was the only one with loo roll so they had to wait for me.

The children were being rude as were their parents. You were a bit vile to say to the kids that at least you didn't shit on the table though. Who on earth says something like that?? Rise above rather than join them at their level.

What a bunch of ill-mannered weirdos - of course there's nothing wrong with going to the toilet. If you have to crap, you have to crap.
And I also am unable to poo to order, so I'd be that person at Dragon's work, too.

"Only wanting to poo in their own toilet"? Well unless they live in a brand new house or have just bought a new toilet, they're pooing in a toilet someone else used to poo in. What's the difference between that and a public toilet apart from the number of people who have pooed in it?

Rude fuckers.

Yanbu. When you gotta go, you gotta go! Many a time in town shopping I had to speedily shuffle off to John Lewis to use the baby and parent toilets that had huge cubicles I could fit the double buggy in!

The child was very rude questioning you on your toilet habits!

Yanbu, this is what loo's are for!

i have pooed in a public toilet - needs must - had a slight tummy bug and it was either poo in the toilet or shit myself

thats the point of toilets

This sort of stupidity can be handled with a very straight face and steady eye contact "yes we all go to the toilet and I am no exception, nor are you. I'm not prepared to discuss this inappropriate subject here, so just grow up"

Just ignore any further comment or jibe, dont get drawn in.

And definitely don't feel upset, you needed the loo, big deal!

If you're worried about putting up with someone else's smells or leaving smells behind when you use the loo, then carry a body spray in your handbag and spray it a little. I do that sometimes on holiday if I'm in an en suite B & B room and there's no air freshener.

I go when I need to go, whether it's a public toilet or my own. That's what toilets are for FGS.

Yanbu. I would have been very embarrassed and angry. Poor you.

I am interested in this subject though, as my dh agrees with the majority of you and takes the "when you have to go..." stance.

I don't get this - I never ever go outside of the house - pretty much when it suits me. Am I really weird? There is no effort or constipation involved in this - am I storing up a lifetime of hemorrhoids?

this is unbelievable. The kids were being silly and childish but as they are children that is to be expected. Your response should have been 'it is rude to ask that'.

you need some new friends.

and what else is the toilet for? Shared toilets need to be left as you would hope to find them (flushed and no skid marks) but the air clears in a few minutes.

Oh this annoys me!! I have ibs which can result in a sudden and unpleasant NEED to go NOW!! But, i work in an office full of women, two cubicles, no windows and always a queue. I actually leave work and dash to the nearestpublic convenience where i can do what needs to be done in peace.

A toilet is for ... errr.... going to the toilet in, no? What's their problem? Besides being extremely nosy, rude and crass.

Your mates were being wankers. I am v jealous as I can't go properly anywhere but home. This is not a hair tossing judgey thing, i cannot do it. Holidays & days out are fraught with poo related bloating/illness/preoccupation. just came back from a festival having needed to go the whole time but incapable

actually I can be very smug here I poo every morning at about 6.30 lol but on the odd occasion I have needed to poo at work or out if you, ve gotta go you, gotta go

no they are rude and impolite and your df shouldn't have joined in.

I wouldn't go in public loo unless I was desperate. at work our ladies loo is stunk out at times. I know people can't help it.
