This is bullshit because no bloke has ever mumbled a word in a dunny block.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No one has ever offered to play battle shits with you?

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's a solo game unless you are in the special competitive pvp stalls

Your use of "bloke" implies you're in the UK, so perhaps it's just manners... But as someone who has worked in a large, multi-cultural office in the US, it is definitely a cultural thing. There are some people that have no problem chatting on the phone at full volume, in an echo-y stall, while audibly shitting. And I mean audibly lol.

I have had one experience where I was sitting in the middle stall, of three, between two people who were having a full-on conversation back and forth over me. I kept like clearing my throat just in case maybe they didn't realize someone was there... Nope, they just didn't care lol.

Just the thought of behaving like that is mortifying to me lol, especially in an office where I have to then interact with those people...

I'm an Aussie. Same king, different colony :P

Crosstalk while trying to dump a load sounds horrendous.

I experienced that in New Jersey once. A man was speaking Spanish, presumably while on the phone. And he was very audibly taking a shit. He even continued talking while straining to push the poop out.

I've seen this mostly for couriers or workers who are actively monitored and don't have time for themselves

I've talked on the shitter. I heard someone dying and asked if they needed help, they never replied, just did up their belt and fled in panic. Never again!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 27 points 2 months ago

I rather die alone on a toilet than talk while pooping. I'd flee too.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep. Heard a coworker vomiting her guts out in the accessible stall and I asked if she needed help. Turns out she was just having morning sickness.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A few months ago I went to a steakhouse with some friends and learned that 3 ladies from the wedding party in the party room had had too much to drink and were sharing a stall (small bathroom with only 2 stalls) puking their guts out for a solid 20 minutes straight. As we paid and left we saw the paramedics arrive to escort the ladies off of the premises and an employee poised and ready with cleaning supplies to begin cleaning up the wreckage their stomachs had wrought upon the porcelain.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Some of those who shake cocktails...
Are the same that clean stall spills...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

LOL oh man this story is so funny to me. I'm picturing it from both people's points of view and its hilarious either way.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The urinals didn't tip her off?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I've been in men's room recently that didn't have urinals in view when I walked in. Which did give me a slight panic for a moment that I had walked into the wrong door.

I opened the first stall door, and there was the urinal. Interesting.

They had also adopted the European style of floor to ceiling stalls and stall doors. It was actually a very nice experience.

[–] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 months ago

Common European W

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The stall only contained a urinal? What happens if you need to take a shit?

[–] Matthew@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

You don't use that stall. What happens if you have to shit at any given time, go looking for urinals?

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a bit weird though yeah, especially if you are waiting in line for that stall to open and only when entering discover it's not going to suffice your needs.

There were multiple stalls

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe the guy sitting next to her was in the wrong bathroom.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

chooooooooke on the water~

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

snack pack in disguise…

Hand dryers in the skyyy

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like that the response from guys isn't "a woman?! In MY bathroom?!?!" But "who tf talks in the bathroom?!"

Something that definitely happened

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

And all the guys at the urinals cheered, and bumped hips whilst continuing to pee

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Who the are these people talking in the stalls. I be worried someone would try and kick my ass. I've seen people go ape shit if you disturb them during a shit in public.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

I once had a friend of mine go into the stall next to mine and loudly declare that we were "pooping buddies"

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know about being mad, but if a coworker tries to talk to me in the restroom regardless of specifics they immediately go on my "perhaps has body in basement" list. Usually it's the Cxx people...who are sociopaths. So the math works out.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I only know that some people use CXX as extension for their C++ (programming language) files, but I don't think that's what you meant

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That was my first reaction as well, but probably C-suite people, like CEO, CFO, etc.? (I say "etc." here bc I can't think of any more:-P)

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Y'all nerding out on here about the gnu compiler tool chain but don't have a chief technical officer? :p

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, most CEOs and most c++ users are sociopaths

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

All of my coworkers, they will just strike up work combo.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

Yep. Savin' that one

[–] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

I hate that I laughed

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

you're both liars

[–] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Who is drinking water is a toilet stall? Don't ya'll know the little poo particles go in there?
