... to not poop in a toilet that's not at home?

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

If I can, that is, barring being taken short or being on holiday?

Paid for poo, can't beat it.

Get therapy for Christ's sake 🙄

Whether conscious or not, this seems to be yet another societal 'women #bekind' thing, to the extent that many don't even feel personally justified to do a poo in a purpose-designed designated 'poo bin'.

I wonder how many men willingly restrict themselves in this way on a daily basis, and make themselves uncomfortable, just to avoid anybody else being possibly subjected to a bit of a whiff in a place that everybody knows and expects to be stinky.

YANBU. When in a hotel I can literally go days before using the toilet if I'm sharing a room. When I did a 9 day hike, I only went twice because I just couldn't poo in a revolting hole in the ground.

And yes, I would judge someone having a poo in my home too. Sorry.

Would be nice to have a choice- I get about 30 seconds notice and it’s coming out whether I’m near a loo or not. Have had accidents at work and it’s mortifying trying to deal with it without telling anyone.

I lost quite a bit of weight from the middle of 2016 until April 2018. It was only when I’d improved my diet to do that, and also reduced the portion sizes of the meals I was typically consuming, that my visits to the loo reduced from 4 or 5 a day (not including solo wees) to maybe two. Typically around 0730 and 1600 hours. My mates still can’t believe how often and how regularly I go. One of my mates only goes once every 3 days. The only time that happens to me is after I’ve taken cocodamol for a migraine, and by say 3, I feel like I’m about to explode. I used lactulose for about 7 weeks after my hysterectomy, but it takes a couple of days to start working so not worth it just for one dose of painkillers.

As for other people in my bathroom, no one can smell as bad as my DH, so welcome one and all.

I struggle to go on holiday!

Having a nice time? No, I'm constipated as fuck!

My only worry is that it won't flush in a strange loo 😳. The downside of a high fibre diet. I'll never forget the breadstick thread on here a while back.

Well, what you can and choose to do is up to you, so long as you don't demand it of others. As someone with Crohns, I would be confined to the house if I couldn't go when I needed to go.

I know someone who will only poo at home. Those of you using the word poop, are you in the USA? If not please stop it.

i hate leaving the toilets stinking but cant help that

Why is it a problem, though? Surely anybody who goes to a toilet and is surprised if it pongs is the weird one, not you?!

Do they also go to the council tip and exclaim "Well, they could at least have tidied up and decorated it a bit!" ?!

Certainly not, it's them stinking up the loos.
I poo a good few times a day so can't hold it in if out. Toilets are literally for poo. Why would I refrain from using something for its intended usage?

I go wherever I am. Not literally, like, (not if I can avoid it!), but if I'm at work or wherever and I need a poo I'll use the nearest loo. It's a choice between there and my pants.

I always poo at work at the end of a shift. It's great as I use their toilet paper and water instead of mine!

I can be a bit like that. My body just seems to not want to sometimes. I'm actually not bothered (it's what toilets are for) and tbf since taking up both running and coffee about 10 years ago my body has much less choice in the matter!

I spent a couple of weeks travelling round Morocco in my 20s and did not go once. 😱

Is that you, Toad?!

Of course I wouldn't mind, so long as they flushed it! And how well I knew them wouldn't be relevant. I don't recognize my acquaintances by the appearance or smell of their poohs!

I absolutely prefer my own toilet but won't hold it if I have to go. I hate using clients toilets but will.
My autistic boy holds his in school as he prefers home and has the occasional accident because of this

Yanbu I hold till I can get to my own, hate public toilets if I need a poo try to time it for when someone flush's or puts the air dryer or so no one can hear, and gauranteed someeone will come right next door to me, even in an empty toilet room, there will be 10 other cubicles and they will come next to me!! Like GTF!!!!

It's literally factored in to your agreed working conditions, that work will pay for (timewise) and 'host' regular poos for you. Not making the most of it is the equivalent of not taking all of your annual leave - if you deliberately suppress a poo that rears its head at work and save it until you get home, you're actually doing unpaid overtime for your employer!

One would hope it would be undetectable when they were done as in they've flushed, sprayed, not shat on the floor, and not given you a commentary nor exit report.

I don't inspect my toilet for traces of faeces upon guest exit.

Why on earth would you judge someone for something they can't control? If I am visiting your house and I need to go, then I need to go. I can't hold it in until I get home. It's either I go in your toilet or I soil myself. I imagine you'd prefer my to go in your toilet?

Enthusiastic folk singing is your friend here!

That's can't be healthy.

You say you would judge but would that be a silent judge the person would never be aware of? ( I couldn't give a......)
