only one of these is really doable but it's never particularly satisfying

I have worked at places where I was able to find a preferred pooing toilet but have never worked at a place where I was able to find a preferred napping place, i.e. somewhere you could disappear to for thirty minutes of guaranteed uninterrupted napping. tbh if there was a workplace where such a place existed, it would probably be occupied by office boners 9-6.

because the last thing i want to be confronted with when i get to work and need to simply have a pee and wash my hands, is someone else's poop noises and foul odors

I don't think I've ever taken an actual nap at work, but I've always said that if I ever owned a business I'd have a nap room and anyone who wanted could take a 20-minute nap break.

i may have a story relating to this on the co-workers thread fwiw

banlieue jagger (darraghmac), Friday, 28 December 2012 04:29 (twelve years ago)

our office is over two floors, with a small wc on my level (upper) and bathrooms down below.when i moved up to this floor a few months back one of the ladies took me aside and explained rather genteely that 'we only use this floor for wee-wees and make-up' and 'we all know how boys are, hmm?' so, would i, bearing this in mind, take pains to respect this practice which, fair enough and a little o_Oily at the request, i have done.

but this morning somebody clearly broke rule number one about number ones, because she started dropping wrinklenosed hints around me about the 'disgusting smell' as she was putting her face on while the rest of us were busy housing the great and good of rural ireland. i was having a bit of a nightmarish morning as it was, numerous mishaps and administrative pratfalls by superiors with me as the arsecushion, so after the sixth or seventh scatalogical slander slung in my general direction across the heads of two other colleagues i'm afraid i put my third crying tenant of the day on hold and hissed at her-

"look, i didn't shit in your precious toilet"

the rest of the day passed in glorious silence, i'm hoping next week follows suit

Lost its luster a bit now that I work at home but definitely pooping. Napping at work, at best someone walks by and either sprays water in your face, tries to wake you up, or yells at you, but one can't be disturbed when atop his throne.

we had an empty office on a seldom-used floor at my old job where i would sneak off to on slow days (and there were a lot of slow days) to take a 15-20 power nap. really did wonders for my mood in the afternoon

Actually we did have a men's lounge where I used to do this, and it did help me recharge, but the damn thing didn't lock properly (like you could lock it, but someone turning the handle from outside 'overrode' the lock), and even despite putting the placard into "In Use", some fucktard would walk in and say "ooooh sorry didn't know nobody was in here", or occasionally one of the maintenance guys would tell me to leave so he could throw chairs in there.

NINO CARTER, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 00:18 (twelve years ago)

which kills me because it was a room designed for either short breaks or laying down when you didn't feel well.

What about skidmark leavers? Was is the proper office protocol for skidmarks? I'm always so mortified when I go into the washroom (even to pee, say) and discover skidmarks in the bowl. Because then the next person might think it was me...

I can't believe I missed this thread.

Anyway, when I worked for state government, my officemate and I would sometimes take 10 minute disco naps at our desks. One wall of my office is glass so I can't pull that off at my current job.

Would have had to vote pooping, though, since that's when I catch up on Twitter.

three years pass...

My office closed and we moved into another building in the area with another division in the company. Shortly after we moved in, I walked into the bathroom to hear someone from the other division not only talking loudly on the phone while in a stall, but FaceTiming

I may need a new job.

There's a guy in our office whose stall time sounds like an obscene phone call. "Mmm..eh. Eh. Eh. Mmm. Mem. Um...ehh...mmmmmm. Eh. Eh. Muh." It's the most unsettling toilet vocalization I've ever encountered, and it never varies.

the office i work in has one shared, unisex toilet for fifteen or so people

some disgusting savage regularly manages to leave a poop-smeared impression of their crack on the toilet seat and it's staggeringly vile

i like everyone i work with for the most part but the knowledge that one of them is wandering around with a poop-crack is starting to weigh heavily upon me :(

A friend of mine worked in a (large, global, household name company) with hundreds of people in the office where, for a period of about a fortnight, one unknown individual would just shit in random places throughout the building (bathroom sinks, waste paper baskets, a stock cupboard). I started demanding pretty much daily updates on this at one point but the culprit was never caught :(

Some say he or she is pooping in a file cabinet in an office somewhere at this very moment...

Evan, Thursday, 18 February 2016 16:04 (nine years ago)

A colleague of mine took an emergency shit in an empty council flat, even though all the tenants had been moved out there was a strict no shitting policy on site and they had a 2 yellows and you get thrown off site card system. It was on a massive housing estate and the toilet facilities at the site office were appalling, image like three shitters that about 80 labourers been have emptying their guts in for weeks and nobody is cleaning them. All the windows in the flat had steel covers so he didn't see that a plumber was working on the soil-pipe outside and he sprayed his shit all over his open tool box. He got a straight red for this one and was thrown off site and billed for a whole new set of hand tools by the plumber.

two years pass...

When I started this thread, I was in my fourth week of my first Real Job, having moved from the US east to west coast. Being jetlagged and with no real responsibilities yet, napping at work was both feasible and practical. I probably took no naps at work after December 2012 or January 2013.

On the other hand, sometime in the last 7 years I started doing nearly all weekday pooping at work, before noon. This routine, the evidence it gave me for my regularity, and the cost savings in toilet paper for the home were minor but undeniable comforts.

Now, under covid, I must poop at home, and I've had some difficult BMs in that time. I have to use my own toilet paper. I have to scrub the toilet more. Trials all.

But, after years of inaccessibility, I can and sometimes do take a nap bang in the middle of business hours, and only god can judge me.
