what's happening to our borad TMI

sarah - are you my ex g/f?

xp - ENBB - that is still so weird to me! also, the people who don't poop at work, like what? but then i remember that we were both baffled by the very existence of foot flushers. I do wonder if these are the same people.

also - the role of vodka-soaked tampons in oral sex on menstruating women

1. what is a foot flusher?

2. that whole last bit, huh?

Who are these people that have such precise control over their bowels?! That's . . . amazing, tbh.

otf(f is for farting)m!

tbh at work i try not to poop on my break because i dont wanna waste my free time when i can be getting paid to poop

Who are these people that have such precise control over their bowels?!

cutty

a foot flusher is one whom flushes the loo with their foot.

why?

Ppl who exercise that much control over their bowels kind of terrify me.

I feel like this fart/shit discussion is a good place to post James Joyce's love letters to Nora Barnacle.

friend of mine likes to fart in the car, pause a second, then ask his wife 'wow, doesn't that bakery smell good?'

Never not a good time to post that tbh

It took me a long time to work out HOW one foot-flushes too bcz aus toilets have press-button flush on top of the cistern, or in the wall at abt waist-shoulder height behind bowl. You'd have to be a contortionist to use yr foot.

oh shiii yeah now i remember that scene from commando

xpost

A hoy hoy: Here's one for the ladies re public toilets . . .

ok even bigger question- you had taken to watching people under the stalls e?

I don't flush with my feet because I don't want to spread my shoe germs to other people's hands

I was so invested in this topic and ppl's confusion over exactly how American's do this I even did a demonstration:

Here's one for the ladies re public toilets . . .

Yeah if you just peak you head down at an angle you can see people's feet but they can't see your head.

i have an old school toilet with the handle/chain you pull down to flush. still use my feet with that too.

And stop crapping in my sink!

ok but that seems totally gross and voyeuristic.

x-post - In your house? You foot flush at home?! That's next level, sir.

It was in the interest of science! Plus I was just looking at their feet not their bits!

They're calling it "butt flushing."

you see, i was only kidding (who even still has those old time-y toilets anyways?!) - you're weird under-stall voyeurism is bizarre and terrifying!

x-post - listen calm down ppl. I don't do it anymore!! Plus don't you ever have to look under the stalls to see if there's a toilet paper roll or something? It's no different. Jeez.

I look under the stalls to see if there's candy

so far, I have always been disappointed ;_;

you need to have a wider stance, Dan

I bring a periscope to public restrooms.

do they make beer bongs long enough so you can butt chug the dude in the next stall?

I'm sure someone at Reed has made one

I flush via doing a bicycle kick

I can understand trying to be discreet if you're going to be particularly noisy in the restroom, but women are already sitting! On the toilet! If you're being discreet, how would other women even know what you were doing?

dayo = winner

haha! Nice demonstration, E!

I'm a proud foot flusher at work with the same kind of toilets E showed us - BUT I'm really tall? And lazy? So this way I don't have to bend down and touch the handle that might be feces contaminated. Also if I pooped (because I do!) then MY hands don't contaminate!

I'm not one of those 'open doors with a paper towel' types or anything else. So really it's 75% laziness of not wanting to bend down, 5% "yay I control things with my foot," 20% anti-contamination.

lol at MH thinking the women to embarassed to take care of business in a public restroom would actually ever sit on a public toilet

If it's contact with the toilet people are worried about, wear stilts.

everything in the bathroom is feces contaminated! flushing aerosolizes the water

can we go back to how women poop on toilet handles for a second, because honestly I've never seen a toilet in a men's room that had poop on the handle, plus aren't you about to wash your hands thoroughly anyway

that offal smell you're smelling? those are tiny, airborne particles of poop melding with your smell receptors.

you should be washing your hands anyway

I once worked with some women who actually expressed horror/disgust because they had just heard a workmate in the loos, using them as nature intended for #2. This woman was genuinely revolted/thought it was funny (in a bitchy way) and was gossiping about it to everyone!? Like "omg so and so was making plopping noises so gross".

THIS might be why some women are toilet shy perhaps. Then again, I also worked with psychotic apes. so.

I'm not one of those 'open doors with a paper towel' types or anything else.

Nearly EVERYONE at my work seems to do this. It's a nice clean bathroom and everyone just washed their hands! Seems excessive. I do this sorta thing at gas station bathrooms but not somewhere that looks fairly clean to begin with. LIVE A LITTLE.
