My mother is also chronically constipated. For her, I think it is partially a psychological problem that has turned into a physiological problem over the years from managing her colon through pharmaceuticals. Once during an early marriage she refused to go for 2 months and had to go to the doctor over it.

Yeah, unless it was really egregious (like it sounds like a toddler is in there just playing with the flusher) I can’t imagine actually saying anything. Once the door is closed, the people behind them basically cease to exist to me, and I hope I cease to exist to them too. Plus, it might sound like a courtesy flush,…

Oh man, I wish it all the time, on lots of people. But don’t worry, they are all pieces of shit like this couple.

That’s exactly why all of them should be taken away. It’s pretty abusive to teach your children to be cruel.

Ah yes, because it is their YouTube viewers who deserve an apology from all of this, and not the poor kids.

Generally I have no problem going in the office bathroom at all. The only thing that gives me pause is when someone sees me come in, starts talking to me, and then keeps talking after I go in the stall. Shut the fuck up, Pam, once I’m behind the stall door I don’t exist to you. Of course, it doesn’t really stop me,…

Same. When I have to go, I have to go. I’m incredibly regular, and I probably go 3 times a day. I don’t even understand how people can go once in the morning and be done.

Tea also makes you poop.

The earth-mother is correct.

Unless you live in a drought-ridden state like California, and then you really oughtn’t.

I don’t drink in the bathroom, but I will buy a coffee if it looks like the Starbucks line will be too long if I wait until after, and I will bring it into the room, set it on a shelf, and grab it on my way out.

From conversations I’ve heard, it seems like men are more shy about pooping (and even peeing?!) in public restrooms. And for some fictional anecdata, Shitbreak was a male, not female, character in American Pie, and it was Marshall, not Lily, who rented a hotel room for pooping during the work day on How I Met Your…

I’m definitely voting in earnest, in that some of these could be surprisingly badass beauty trends. Like, I may take some of these randomly for inspiration regardless of who wins.

Anyone else get My Sharona stuck in their head every time they read La Llorona?

I didn’t see the movie. What is a Babadook, other than a thing wearing a top hat? (Top hat is a good look.)

I’m going to go with it was none of those things, and women will get dragged by someone for literally any comment, so it would be dumb to give in to unreasonable people.

They can feel how they feel, but she said nothing dumb.

This reminds me of the people I saw on my friend’s Facebook who were mad at Marissa Meyer for taking too short a maternity leave for herself. I was like, “She has a completely different set of circumstances and resources from you, but what you both have in common is that you will use your own judgment and whatever…

Works for me.

Okay. Agree to disagree.
