as if we don't all have enough weighty issues to deal with in RL.

FFS, do people really come on here wanting to discuss climate change, rocket science or the LAW?!!!

Well, whatever - I don't.

I want to know if IABU to to go this far to consider my other loo cublicle users' sensibilities?

When using a public loo I will often refrain from doing a poo out of consideration for my fellow users (smell and possible fart noise issues). This can cause considerable discomfort

Should I just go ahead and to hell with it?

If yes, how to look next door in the eye if we exit at the same time?

People come on here to discuss all sorts of things, it's up to them if they want to discuss astrophysics or jordan.

Re the poo, hold it in please until you get home.

I hope that clarifies things

if it bothers you, you just have to wait in the cubicle till you can't hear anyone else than exit in a hurry before anyone else comes in!Might be in there a long time if its busy!!

But it's what they are for, and I have heard some pretty impressive noises, doesn't bother me but I dread DS 3 making some comments about it VERY LOUDLY !!

("Mummy whats that smell? Mummy I can smell something. Mummy Is someone doing a poo? Who is it mummy? Was it that lady mummy?" etc etc)

If a single cubicle toilet run the taps whilst pooing. Put down toilet paper to eliminate any splashing noises. And cough if farting accompanies the poo.

If a multiple cubicle then make sure you pick the loo next to either a small child or an elderlyu woman. Both can be successfully blamed for any noises, smells or noxious fumes i find.

no yanbu

why mrsseanbean? Isn't he a wife beater of note?

hecAteAMillionMincePies · 06/12/2008 21:38

1 - people are free to talk about whatever they like. Different things interest different people at different times. If someone doesn't like a certain topic, they should feel free to keep the fuck off it.

2 - when you've got to go you've got to go.

MrsSeanBean · 06/12/2008 22:13

Oh, poo at will, you won't be the only one. Though it is polite-ish to try to avoid vocalisation ('GNNNN! AAAAAAHHHHH1' especially of the kind that suggests sexual gratification). AIBU to be a bit disbelieving or possibly envious of people who actually have the option of holding in a poo if they decide the time/circumstances are not right? When I gotta go, I gotta go.

Though I really do hate people who try to make conversation from the next cubicle when one is having a major dump.
