Is it seen to BU to go to the toilet at work?

[KittySocks]

Posting here for traffic. In the office this morning, there were 2 members of my team having a moan. Essentially, someone had gone to the toilet and had sprayed some of the provided air freshener. Staff member moans that the staff member in question should have waited until they got home before they "stink out the work toilets".

Staff members in question are mid 20s. It started a stupid debate in the office and basically, the older generation see no issue with going to the toilets at work. Younger generation claim they would be mortified and state they would not poop at work!

Is it a generational thing then? I'm of the mindset, if you have to go, you have to go!

YABU - Get a grip - poop away
YANBU - Gross! Hold it in until you get home!

I wouldn't be judging anyone's skills in comprehension after the utter shyte you just posted!!!

Toilets are there for you to, well, use as toilets. Anyone who thinks you shouldn't use them, whether for a pee or a poo or anything in between, is batshit.

Just when you think MN batshittery can’t get any worse there’s always someone to prove you wrong !!

They have stuff one can put into the toilet that keeps the poo not stink up everything. If someone is concerned, they can use it.

I have IBS. If I still worked, and when I did, if I had an IBS attack, pooing in the toilet and making a stink was the least of my worries!

I have IBS and also had a grade 4 tear 22 years ago giving birth. When I have to go I literally have to go and can go anywhere between once a day and 10 times a day.

It's a normal bodily function and everyone does it. I don't see an issue unless someone has gone into work with the trots!

For someone who disapproves of shit, she sure talks a lot of it !!

Very odd. Surely you go when you need to go.

It really isn't like everyone else!

We had a phantom crapper at work, used to leave a perfectly laid turd on the office floor last thing at night for the first one in next morning to find.

Ain't that the truth!!

Wait… the office floor? That’s taking it to another level.

This made me laugh WAY too hard! 😆🚾🚹🚺🚻😷😳🚽

'German friend of mine used to light a match after he'd been to the loo. Apparently it gets rid of the smell but I've never tried it!'

Isn't that what kids and drunks do following a farting fest? A small explosion usually follows!!😮^^

Must be nice to be a bat. Shit where you like and fly away. Not have to worry about other anally retentive bats obsessing about it !!

Do you all have toilets without separate cubicles with separate ventilation? Like the ones in a shopping mall or airport? We have proper walls inbetween them and the smell problem we have is the smell from the drains.

Yes, a match does work well, but I've only used it in a small home bathroom. At work, with multiple stalls, one might need to build a bonfire for it to work.

YABU for saying 'poop'.

My Nan used to hold hers in every day whilst she was at work. She died from bowel cancer. I mentioned this to my gastroenterologist once (I’ve suffered decades long IBS), he said my Nan would have caused inflammation from doing this which would have contributed to the cancer.
So holding it in is never a good idea, that’s what toilets are for and your work colleagues need to grow up and quit being so juvenile about normal bodily functions.

and go they did in one of our toielts, it was so full it would not flush down I was told.

Funny thing is I've almost walked into a toilet at work when I worked that was full of poo, saw it the stench hit me fits and as I backed out, and staff walked in and I had to say, "it was not me." I still fear they did not believe me - the toilet was disgusting

If I had to go, I'd go home as I often did visits to clients homes and went back home if I really needed to

I have pooped at work since I’ve been working which is age 14 to age 39 to date.
When you have to go you have to go! These people need to get a grip, god help their insides, that can’t be healthy!

Love taking a dump at work

Yep we just have partitions which don't go all the way to the floor or ceiling. You can literally hear the person in the next cubicle breathing.

Wank I guess

Red wine just came down my nose !!!

This is mad. Even the King poos. It's a normal bodily function, why must people get weird about it?!
