Poop Brings Us Together

I already shared the story about my co-worker divulging her 'yes' and 'no' criteria when it comes to bathroom (and shitting) etiquette; that was amazing. But yesterday I had a meeting with my writing partner, and we were (somewhat) working and (mostly) chatting. At different points during our meeting (which lasted a little over three hours), we each had the urge to crap. She went first. 

When she came out of the bathroom (which was mediocre, by the way), naturally I asked her how she it went. It was alright, maybe a little hot, but the bummer part was that it pinched off a little too soon, and left (what I like to call) the "nub" still inside- refusing to come out. That really sucks, and I truly did feel for her- I hate that kind of shit. 

Less than an hour later, I had to drop one, and something quite similar happened to me- except that though I got the nub out, there was a sneaky second nub still left in there, not budging. FOILED! Of course I told her all about it, we laughed and bonded over our shared frustration, and I might have farted at the table just to punctuate. 

Thing is: everyone likes to talk about poop (except three people that I know). Ok, so almost everyone loves to talk about poop. I talked about poop again last night, and this morning... it's just so liberating to talk about what's really on my mind. And I'll chat about it with anyone... Although, not so much my boss, because she is grossed out by it. Always my family, though, especially my siblings, they love to talk about it... 

But I'm curious, does everyone talk about poop as much as me? Do you talk about poop, and with whom?

This talk of poop or shitting isn't great to be honest. The blog in general is pretty cool. Have a look at more modern bathroom furniture and bathrooms in the UK.
