Toilet etiquette

[dillydotty]

I was going to name change for this but didn't want anyone thinking I was the poo troll.

The women's loos at work has seven cubicles. I needed a poo and hate going at work. So I got to the loos and it was empty, result. I chose the end cubicle and sat down. I heard the main door open and someone came in. Out of the six remaining loos whoever it was chose the only one next to mine and started straining loudly.

Am I being unreasonable to think that it is only good manners to choose one of the five cubicles that don't adjoin the only other occupied loo?

Animal instincts i suppose, animals also like the far corner of the room

Yeah, but everyone has the same instinct so everyone's huddled in the last 2 or 3 cubicles getting upset about their personal space

I normally just go to the first empty clean one, never think about who may or may not be in the next one.

[Albadross]

Dilly but what about if they've done the same? You know there are always quiet lurkers that are doing their makeup or something silently...

[Albadross]

Or what about when there's a full bathroom at the start of lunchtime, and someone audibly farts whilst pissing?! I hear that so often.

[dillydotty]

Farts you just brazen out.

Poo troll lol

but yanbu i really hate when people do stuff like that even with seats, was in an empty doctors waiting room couple days ago, the one seat were my foot was as my legs were crossed a woman choose to seat there So i had to uncross my legs. There were about 20 free seats.

[dillydotty]

I have moved in situations like this. That's what old magazines and leaflets are there for: get up, pick up a leaflet/old fishing magazine, sit back down elsewhere.

Oh the empty beach thing. I had that once. Beautiful wide beach, no one else there and some family come and pitch up next to us.

What made it worse was that they were potty training their toddler and as she was putting the potty away the mum flicked me with piss

Be thankful it was only wee incognito

[dillydotty]

Ewww. Some people are so minging!

[starfishmummy]

Maybe it was her favourite cubicle?

[BillBrysonsBeard]

I hate this! Never pooed at work but got wee shy if it was quiet and someone plonked down next to me. And then there's a standoff.. They feel awkward so wait for you to finish but you can't relax while they are sat so quietly less than a metre away... So I just leave and come back later!

[PirateJones]

leaving a coming back later is my method too. At school i could hold for well over 6 hours, time has certainly taken its toll on my bladder.
