Am I the only one who does this?! Feel massively judged by my friends

[Hatsoff92]

Girly dinner this week - not the classiest of conversations but it was somehow brought up that I use the loo at work for all ‘eventualities’.

They were horrified and said it’s strictly wee only for them.

Am I really that unusual?!

I honestly don't understand how people can hold poo in, when they need to go. Just go to the toilet! Why on earth would anyone be funny about pooing in a toilet? That's what they are for. Weirdos.

😆😆😆😆 It certainly felt like it! The boss was even a bit like Matthew Kelly.

I try to mainly go at work - saves me a fortune on loo paper, I reckon I'll pay the mortgage off 3 years early doing this.

@CopperWhite

It’s selfish to stink out spaces that other people are forced to use when you could just wait a while.

Nah. My health and comfort is more important than other people's fastidiousness about a normal bodily function.

You're not doing a shit in the office are you? It's a toilet. It's literally what its there for.

Why do they know whether you poo at work or not and how do you know theyre being honest when they say they dont

Working in a male-dominated field, I often have a whole loo block to myself anyway, and the loos at the other end of the building are entirely enclosed single units. So it's on work time, and using their loo paper rather than mine.

Usually it's done with before I leave the house in the morning, but if I need to, I need to.

I read on the loo too, or sometimes do a crossword.
And why hold it in and deprive yourself of the fun? https://www.verywellhealth.com/why-does-pooping-feel-good-8647425
Nb. Has anyone else noticed the overwhelming niff of vegan's poo?

I find it odd you’d hang around sitting on the loo over your own poop while you read.

You've obviously never met a man then have you?

It's not even about femininity, if you've got to go, you've got to go!

As for not going all week whilst on holiday, this lady would've had the most un-ladylike breath.
God, when she spoke it'd been coming out such awful rotting poo breath!
Can't bear the thought of this, eurgh 🤮.

I think that ppl who don’t do what they they to are very odd and are putting their health at risk.

@captainoctopus are you friends with your pooh too?! 😆

Everyone at work would much rather you took a shit in the toilets than held it in all day, stinking up the office with your farts.

but settling in with a book is fine! And its poo btw not pooh

Of course I poo at work. That's what toilets are for. Why would you hold in shit all day when there's a perfectly decent toilet available?

You should go when you have the urge, basically there's a point the poo sits in the rectum which causes the urge, at this point the poo is easy to push out. If you don't go the poo gets sucked up a bit, and its above the muscle, it becomes harder to push out and your more likely to get piles, tears etc. Your body also sucks up the water from the poo tge longer you hold so your more likely become constipated.

It's good for your body to poo when it needs to

What the actual...?!?

Is this real? You'd rather take a dump OUTSIDE in the woods like an animal, than in an actual toilet at work?

Either this is a wind-up, or I have stepped into a parallel universe.

I bet these ladies hover, too, in case they "catch" something.

Never hovered. Never caught anything.

I once worked in a converted mews and the only loo was a wooden cubicle between the tiny kitchen area and the stairs, open-plan office. It was awful to have to even have a wee in that toilet but one woman had a poo every day without fail and we all had to sit there listening to the plops 😂

Only when I’m utterly desperate. Unfortunately I work with some immature goons who shame people who stink the toilets out.

This!! I kept thinking about the south park poo friend, hanky the christmas poo!

Well I’m bloody glad I’m not in the minority judging by the poll!

I think the only time I felt genuinely uncomfortable about going was on the flight home from a DTui AI in the summer, but that was because I’d had a dodgy final meal!

I’m no doctor, but I’m fairly sure poo can’t get so backed up that it reaches your throat.

I regularly poo at work, although I will turn the camera off if I’m in Teams. Afterwards I message someone in Facilities to come flush.

I only poop at home because it triggers something in me and I have to run around the house like I've been possessed by a demon afterwards.

In the office of a former employer we had a lovely big atrium with shiny marble floors and columns.

Someone got caught short one afternoon on their way to a meeting and literally did a poo in the middle of the atrium. The stench reached all the offices across four floors.

Let that be a cautionary tale to those of you who think its sensible to hold it in. Better to stink out a work toilet than do it at the reception desk when you're checking in for a business meeting.

I poo in all toilets and would much rather poop in toilets than in my pants which has happened before 😂

Your friends are nuts. What exactly is the alternative? Wait til you get home??
