Pause? The pause that refreshes?

This is without a doubt, the most annoying of all...that being said, I've been guilty of it on one occasion.

This dude I used to work with came in, and sat in the stall next to me. Seeing as I had the preferred location (the handicap suite), I had a sufficient angle to easily see his shoes beneath the partition as he sat down. He wore these goofy lookin' surfer shoes, so he was an easy ID.

He sat down, and opened up a magazine...then proceeded to start ripping out all those annoying perforated pre-paid mailer advertisements. When he was done, I couldn't help myself...

"Hey Buddy - if you need some TP over there, just ask."

A friend of mine called me one time and I actually heard farting noises in the background followed by him making a "strained groan" noise. I asked if he was at work and he said yes, he was taking a bathroom break and calling me while taking a crap! I said LATER! YOU'RE GROSSING ME OUT!!! PIG! Some people...

Thanks for the laughs, Justin.

I recall a post made by Howi (when he was MedMech) about using the restroom when on the phone with a telemarketer. I remember him holding the phone to the toilet, and cutting loose, and the telemarketer laughing...

it's automatic.

the "Nessie" - - the.... how to put this diplomatically....aaah forget it... gigantic turd which is so long that it goes in vertically and remains there, rearing its head above the surface, like that old grainy photo of the Loch Ness monster.

If I were President I'd call for a constitutional amendment to ban shi*ting at work. IMO people spend too much time shi*ting at work. It's completely unnecessary in most cases.

No you cannot ban this. There are times that you really gotta turtle head and you cant just drive home to do it can you? If you want to stop toilet-break abusers, you have to make a "pay-can". If you really gotta go, you will gladly pay to drop one off, but if you are just trying to put work off, then perhaps paying will make them think twice.

Unless you ate something bad, you can always wait until you get home, or better yet, plan ahead and do it before going to work. All it takes is some discipline and scheduling. Shi*ting at work isn't just about lost work time. It's also about having to smell foul odors every time I go to the bathroom. It gets annoying.

Suggest you check the FLSA. I think you'll find you cannot stop employees for bathroom breaks

I realize that, that's why I'd like to see it banned (as far as #2 goes) at work places unless it's a true emergency. A little discipline never hurt anyone.

I never used to like pooping at work, but I have found that at my new job, there is a seldom used bathroom, and I no longer mind a little trip to drop the kids off at the pool, double down, deuce a pooper, etc... I think I could even dare to say I enjoy that little break when it occurs. I'm no out of the closet pooper though - I keep it to myself. If I bring reading material, I do it discreetly, I usually bring my PDA with WIFI and surf the internet!

Also, I don't know if it is just me, but if there is coffee at work, you can pretty much throw discipline or any kind of planning out the window. It tends to speed things along.

I $h!t you not, one of my college roommates gave birth to a Nessie/python that wouldn't go down. Our other roommate and I were washing dishes in the kitchen when he yells to us that he's having problems with the toilet and to come give him a hand. We run in and there's this abomination in the bowl, encircling the perimeter and he starts laughing his @$$ off. I'll make the disgusting story less so by just saying that he required implements to perform the flush cycle.
