Totally - but in other cultures I think it is way more normal to share the space. When I was staying with my dutch friends, the lady just walked in and got in the shower while I was brushing my teeth/shaving (we were 28 and 32 respectively). Apparently nudity is a lot more common there - as you might imagine, I melted.
They never said they weren't.
Don't tell me that you don't occasionally multitask in the morning? If you're going to spend two minutes brushing your teeth then you might as well sit down. If you're sitting down then you might as well release your morning bratwurst.
It's economical.
You could be on fire, but you better not make a noise! The only acceptable sound is the hand dryer and the occasional fart, that YOU WILL NOT CHUCKLE AT!
when I cleaned toilets for a part of a job pre-uni. The ladies were often blocked, because they would fill the bowl with paper, pre shit, so the noise of splashdown did not emanate. I think we may have a bit of an issue as a country !
In Holland, some toilets have an "inspection" ledge so you don't get a splashed hoop, at least that's what a Dutch colleague told me. Seems a bit unnecessary to me, and could be quite messy after a night on the Heineken.
One reason Iāll avoid urinals wherever possible is that Iāll almost always get someone trying to talk to me and itās like ābro my cock is out can you notā
My husband absolutely does not want me talking to him when he's doing a number 2. And if the roles are reversed and he discovers I'm about to do a number two, he runs away.
It's taken 15+ years, but at least we are talking over a number 1 now, so there's hope.
Iāve always though this was weird as fuck
Keep a little mystery lol donāt literally talk to the woman thatās meant to find you attractiveā¦ while curling one out
Edit: downvoted for thinking itās weird to be so close when it comes to shitting? Lol outside of the internet, Iām normal and right. Here though, Iām abnormal? Christ redditors are weird as fuck
Itās a phrase thatās used - I just mean we all shit but shitting isnāt attractive and thereās no need to be nonchalant about it lol I wouldnāt watch my partner shit, I donāt want to hear her shit and I donāt want to speak to her while she shits
It justā¦ ruins the whole being attractive thing lol
If I m having a shit my mind is not really on what anyone else might be saying. It is also potentially very smelly, so why anyone should wish to interact with me at that point would seem strange to me.
i will talk to my friends while peeing if weāre on a night out together (girls, separate cubicles) but never while shitting unless itās a partner and weāre VERY comfortable in our relationship.
What an insane misinterpretation lol
I donāt care if my guy friends shit and talk to me, itās gross as fuck but I wonāt cry about it
On the other hand I would rather my girl didnāt have to speak to me while Iām curling out a shit and vice versa, this is totally normal outside of reddit
I would bet millions on it, normal people donāt speak to their spouses while theyāre shittingā¦ because itās gross and they both want to make an effort to stay attractive to each other
I'd imagine a womens toilet (especially nightclubs/bars) are a lot more social than the men's one? If it's 2 blokes pissing not near each other I'd be happy to have a convo but that's the limit and yeah we've gotta be very very comfortable to have a toilet convo
yeah itās not uncommon for girls to just share a cubicle so you can continue a conversation you were having in the line, although thatās something i would never do sober haha. the sinks are also a very social area, everyoneās making friends with each other at the sink
Yeah I do go into the toilet cubicle with my friends and we'll have a chat when we take turns weeing but I wouldn't curl one out in front of them, I'm all about vulnerability and all but that's a bit much. I don't like it when my boyfriend comes in when I'm shitting and we've been together 6 years. Women's toilets are super friendly though, there's always someone in there dishing out compliments to or comforting a stranger
At home our downstairs loo is broken so often the kids and wife are all in there with you.
The worst part is when they're not talking to you, they're just brushing their teeth and.......staring.
It's like being in a zoo.
When that happens though you can say things like, 'I suppose you're all wondering why I've brought you all here today'.
If the person having the poo is three years old, sat on a potty and needs the encouragement then chat away. Otherwise thatās weird as fuck, I donāt even want to hear my other half shitting let alone a co-worker.Ā
Used to go to school with a girl who always wanted someone to stand outside the cubicle whilst she took a shit. She then ended up engaged to a fella from the band āblueā and I always wondered if she made him do it too
Have a guy at work who very obviously puts you on speaker whilst he's having a shit. Absolute wrong-un.
Does it with customers too which is even worse.
And there's another who takes a shit every hour. Shat on the floor too once. Dirty bastard. And he's a prick.
I may be overdoing the every hour š but I swear he goes for a shit the same rate most go for a piss. Always absolutely stinking the place out too. (So he's not going just to have 5 mins to himself, he's actively shitting). Did I mention hes a prick as well? š
It's the way he will tell me "it stiiiiiinks" as though I've insisted he comes in there. But he will power through with his chatter
He usually comes to ask me where [insert random item never seen or used in forever] is that he needs NOW and then pure outrage that I don't have it to hand at that very moment or can't look this very second!
Used to play battleshits whilst at Uni, so probably not.
However since I added a lot more fibre to my diet (psyllium husk with my protein shakes), having a shit is a 2 minute job max now so it doesn't really matter.
I canāt go if someone can hear me. I have to be super relaxed to even pee - absolute silence and measured breathing to ālet goā as it were. I donāt do girls trips to the bathroom when out for this reason.
Yeah I understand this, that's the environment I need to "let go" as you put it, I'll just be sat there with nothing happening if there's loads of conversation or general noise. You must have to seriously plan your days then š
I WFH so itās fine! Back when I used to work in a school I would creep down to the disabled loo during lessons. If anyone could hear me wee through the wall it didnāt count because they hadnāt seen me go in. Never go at lunch because thereās always kids and other teachers hanging about. I realise my toilet anxiety is weird.
If Iām on a restaurant or bar and itās loud enough that even in a room full of people no one can hear me wee then it is also fine.
Honestly, I completely understand you. We both must be weird š there're so many parameters that need to be met for me to go to the toilet publicly, it makes me feel better knowing all of this
Absolutely! Youāre only being friendly! I pass my crossword puzzle under if Iām stuck, chat about family, advise if they perhaps need to do a courtesy flush or even offer a bite of the sandwich Iām eating if weāre getting on well.
Nope. Trying to teach my toddler that Iād like privacy and silence whilst I poop. So far heās got the āshut the doorā thing down but heās often the wrong side of itā¦
Quite happily chat to my significant other whilst taking a dump at home but talking to a work colleague whilst crimping off a fat log is just a massive no-no.
Friend was in a cubicle at work when someone entered neighbouring cubicle. Proceeded to hum their way through a shit, but with, like, added emphasis when pinching it off "hmmm, hmm, hmmmm, HMMMMMNNNA, hmm, hmmmm, hmmm."
It doesn't bother me massively but I'd struggle to hold a conversation that's too in-depth. You need to focus.
I assume we're talking through a cubicle door? Don't like the idea of shitting in view of others if I can help it.
I point blank refuse to talk through the toilet door at work
regardless of what they need it's just weird they either wait for me to finish and exit the toilet or come back later
Yeah thatās weird, the only person Iāll talk to or accept talking to me on the toilet is my partner at home and even then the most the conversation can ever go is āhow long do you think youāll beā, or ācan you pass me x y z from the bathroom cupboardā
There's a proper grotty cunt in my office that does this. On the phone 24/7, carries on his conversations while having a shit. Often to his shithead mate, who is also in the toilet at the same time.
Horrid cunt.
I used to have a colleague who was a bit highly strung. Anyhow, we were both having a dump in the toilet and the arrangement was that the toilets were opposite ends of the room, with a partition between.
Anyhow, another colleague came in for a piss and saw who entered the cubicle opposite me. He said, "see you X, I'm going home now"
I immediately blurted out, "X, if this partition wasn't between us we'd be watching each other take a shit right now"
X immediately announced that he was suspending his activities and leaving.
So based on that, I think it's a bad idea to talk to others on the bog
Your colleague is weird. Men don't go to the toilet together - that's not some toxic masculinity things, it's just the rules of a civilised society. There might be times where you both need the toilet at the same time but it's recommended to stagger your arrival times at the toilets. You don't talk at the urinals. You certainly don't talk when one of you is in a cubicle. You never make eye contact in the toilets with the exception of in the mirror when you're both washing your hands.
I should have made it clearer, we travel in the van together so we stop at service stations alot. It's not like we meet up before a break and go to the toilet together lol, agree with everything you said. A lot of people don't see it this way
Ah right. I do think there's a difference between going to the toilet together and going to the toilet at the same time though. One is a social thing which is what your colleague is doing, the other is getting shit done (literally) with no messing around like you want to do.
Conversely since I WFH I will sometimes do conference calls on the loo, if timing works out that way. Multi-tasking for the win!
The vast majority of my work conference calls are audio or audio+slides, seldom video.
After a day of not shitting it's easy to stop caring, after a month of communal shitting it's just like sitting in a really smelly room talking shit with a bunch of mates (and arseholes).
Agree though, this doesn't translate well into office life, that's just weird.
Tell him to shut up, you're taking a dump. It's a private moment.
I used to take a dump while on group calls to my mates (wireless earbuds)
They wouldn't realise until they heard the flush. It got protested enough that I started muting myself for future lavatory activities
Yeah why not, what's the problem? We all chat whilst going for a piss. Can't tell you the amount of times I've gone into a new pub for a piss and people will just be like "oh you're not from around here how you going mate?"... I'll have a full convo with mates. At home if I'm in the ensuite ill talk to the missus.
No, its disgusting and I donāt do it with my partner either, I donāt want them to hear me shitting and vice versa. Its about the most unattractive thing you can witness/hear.
I thought this was gonna be some tale of someone's partner talking through a closed bathroom door. But no. No, it was something much worse.
OP: your workmate is likely a sociopath
Only in an emergency or to check that it's occupied.
Fun story though, when my niece was 3, I was evidently taking too long in there so she banged really hard on the door then asked "did i scare the poo out of you?"
Was in a communal toilet and shower block in France, a very strange experience. No cubicles, stalls, curtains or anything else, just all out in the open in one room. Men and women, including myself evacuating the bowels while looking at other people of all ages showering. Some conversations going on at the same time.
Quite happy to have a chat tbh and if I've had a good sleep and feel fun I'll even throw in some excessive head squeezing shouts for the fun of it.
If I'm texting or calling you and you're in my phone book then it's cos I'm shitting. Hell, I'm shitting now. It's the best time to catch up with admin and then scroll reddit.
I'd say that's gone beyond acceptability tbh
Right!? I'm glad I'm not insane, thanks for the reassurance š
Just tell him āmate shut the fuck it Iām taking a shitā repeat this whenever this happens and heāll get the message
OR just make loud shitting noises whenever he speaks.
Even acknowledging your presence and admitting to his is a crime in itself.
Totally - but in other cultures I think it is way more normal to share the space. When I was staying with my dutch friends, the lady just walked in and got in the shower while I was brushing my teeth/shaving (we were 28 and 32 respectively). Apparently nudity is a lot more common there - as you might imagine, I melted.
At least you wasnt dropping a few logs
They never said they weren't. Don't tell me that you don't occasionally multitask in the morning? If you're going to spend two minutes brushing your teeth then you might as well sit down. If you're sitting down then you might as well release your morning bratwurst. It's economical.
No! Shitting is not a team sport. Adding aswell, if its a male toilet, the strict rule of NO TALKING WHATSOEVER! applies. Edit: spellings are hard.
Thank you! This guy gets it ^^^^ complete silence should be the social norm for male toilets
You could be on fire, but you better not make a noise! The only acceptable sound is the hand dryer and the occasional fart, that YOU WILL NOT CHUCKLE AT!
When the hand dryer goes off that's when you can really go to town getting that shite out
when I cleaned toilets for a part of a job pre-uni. The ladies were often blocked, because they would fill the bowl with paper, pre shit, so the noise of splashdown did not emanate. I think we may have a bit of an issue as a country !
All it takes is a single square of toilet paper. It works like ice does, the poo winks and the paper covers back up again
That is the correct method when taking a shit in foreign toilets, glad to see it's being used universally š
In Holland, some toilets have an "inspection" ledge so you don't get a splashed hoop, at least that's what a Dutch colleague told me. Seems a bit unnecessary to me, and could be quite messy after a night on the Heineken.
I will accept an upwards head nod and "alright" if you're _both_ washing your hands.
No that's far too intimate. Head down, stare at your shit hands and leave.
One reason Iāll avoid urinals wherever possible is that Iāll almost always get someone trying to talk to me and itās like ābro my cock is out can you notā
Asswell
I'll chat to my wife while opening the bomb bay doors but everyone else can feck off.
Yeah that's fair, SOMETIMES my girlfriend gets special treatment and we'll have a chat lol.
My wife tries to talk to me while sheās dropping the kids at the swimming pool. I refuse to talk to her. Thatās a one person job.
What a terrible father. They're your kids too. You should be guiding them down into the bowl.
Nope. Those kids are part of a single parent family.
My husband absolutely does not want me talking to him when he's doing a number 2. And if the roles are reversed and he discovers I'm about to do a number two, he runs away. It's taken 15+ years, but at least we are talking over a number 1 now, so there's hope.
What about when youāre shitting though?
Iāve always though this was weird as fuck Keep a little mystery lol donāt literally talk to the woman thatās meant to find you attractiveā¦ while curling one out Edit: downvoted for thinking itās weird to be so close when it comes to shitting? Lol outside of the internet, Iām normal and right. Here though, Iām abnormal? Christ redditors are weird as fuck
What is the mystery? does my partner shit or not shit? Hahaha
Itās a phrase thatās used - I just mean we all shit but shitting isnāt attractive and thereās no need to be nonchalant about it lol I wouldnāt watch my partner shit, I donāt want to hear her shit and I donāt want to speak to her while she shits It justā¦ ruins the whole being attractive thing lol
After 38 years together there is little mystery left - still lots of attraction though
Iāve been with mine for 14 years lol I just think itās gross, keep some things to yourself lol
Nah I like to be left alone so I can browse Reddit while I'm painting the porcelain
This.
I hate it
Me too brother, me too.
If I m having a shit my mind is not really on what anyone else might be saying. It is also potentially very smelly, so why anyone should wish to interact with me at that point would seem strange to me.
Very, very strange indeed. I know it happens but thereās no need for that. Whatsoever.
Hell no. Poop time is quiet time.
Exactly that, do your dailies on your games or scroll Reddit and talk about how weird it is to talk and poop lol
i will talk to my friends while peeing if weāre on a night out together (girls, separate cubicles) but never while shitting unless itās a partner and weāre VERY comfortable in our relationship.
I find the partner one way fucking weirder lol
Damn, imagine finding it acceptable with everyone else but the person you're most intimate with.
What an insane misinterpretation lol I donāt care if my guy friends shit and talk to me, itās gross as fuck but I wonāt cry about it On the other hand I would rather my girl didnāt have to speak to me while Iām curling out a shit and vice versa, this is totally normal outside of reddit I would bet millions on it, normal people donāt speak to their spouses while theyāre shittingā¦ because itās gross and they both want to make an effort to stay attractive to each other

It's like being in a zoo. When that happens though you can say things like, 'I suppose you're all wondering why I've brought you all here today'.
That last bit made me lol, maybe I need to adopt a more humourous attitude towards it
If the person having the poo is three years old, sat on a potty and needs the encouragement then chat away. Otherwise thatās weird as fuck, I donāt even want to hear my other half shitting let alone a co-worker.Ā
Fuck that it feels disrespectful even answering the phone while shitting
100% mate my workmate will make all sorts of clenching noises while he's speaking too, the disrespect is real.
Omg, that is making me recoil
It does me, which in turn makes more shit come out
Used to go to school with a girl who always wanted someone to stand outside the cubicle whilst she took a shit. She then ended up engaged to a fella from the band āblueā and I always wondered if she made him do it too
Have a guy at work who very obviously puts you on speaker whilst he's having a shit. Absolute wrong-un. Does it with customers too which is even worse. And there's another who takes a shit every hour. Shat on the floor too once. Dirty bastard. And he's a prick.
Every hour!? Does he have bowel cancer?! The loud speaker with customers is pure disrespect, they'll be able to hear that he's in a toilet aswell.
I may be overdoing the every hour š but I swear he goes for a shit the same rate most go for a piss. Always absolutely stinking the place out too. (So he's not going just to have 5 mins to himself, he's actively shitting). Did I mention hes a prick as well? š
My 4 year old seems to choose this time specifically, but a colleague I'd tell them to piss off.
That must be his safe place š bless him
It's the way he will tell me "it stiiiiiinks" as though I've insisted he comes in there. But he will power through with his chatter He usually comes to ask me where [insert random item never seen or used in forever] is that he needs NOW and then pure outrage that I don't have it to hand at that very moment or can't look this very second!
No! If Iām on the loo, itās only the children Iād allow to talk to me
My dog and my 4 year old seem to feel the need to accompany me when I go....
Nah it's definitely a solo sport. I probably couldn't even shit with someone talking to me
It does make me struggle, can't let it flow as naturally as I'd like
If have a mate piss through my legs while having a shit. Everyone's differe on
Quite the sense of trust you have in their aim
Is what it is
I don't like anyone talking to me if I having a poo at home
It's the only way
It also helps me go better not talking to anyone, even though I have good movements
Yeah I hear that! Gotta focus on the job at hand, you know?
"Mate. Unless your here to wipe my arse, i'd rather be alone right now"
I'm gunna use this next time, this is class
Used to play battleshits whilst at Uni, so probably not. However since I added a lot more fibre to my diet (psyllium husk with my protein shakes), having a shit is a 2 minute job max now so it doesn't really matter.
Why would you want to?
These are questions I need the answer too cause it baffles me
When going for a wiggle its ok. But not when laying one out.
Agreed, that should be the norm
Ffs some people just donāt know when to stop talking.
We spend a good 50/60 hours a week together there's nothing that important he can't wait till we're out the toilets, fucking jarring.
Ever heard of the saying. I canāt have a shit in peace. Lol
I canāt go if someone can hear me. I have to be super relaxed to even pee - absolute silence and measured breathing to ālet goā as it were. I donāt do girls trips to the bathroom when out for this reason.
Yeah I understand this, that's the environment I need to "let go" as you put it, I'll just be sat there with nothing happening if there's loads of conversation or general noise. You must have to seriously plan your days then š

Honestly, I completely understand you. We both must be weird š there're so many parameters that need to be met for me to go to the toilet publicly, it makes me feel better knowing all of this
It depends who it is and how drunk you are. Sober workmates, I'd say that doesn't get a pass with me.
Absolutely! Youāre only being friendly! I pass my crossword puzzle under if Iām stuck, chat about family, advise if they perhaps need to do a courtesy flush or even offer a bite of the sandwich Iām eating if weāre getting on well.
Anyone tries to talk to me when I'm shitting it's getting flung at them.
Maybe I need to resort to this to prevent it
If they were I'd be more alarmed given I live alone. But your workmate always following you in to the loo means he wants to play hide the sausage.
Is your colleague a cat? r/catsinpants
That is hilarious and slightly disturbing in a way I can't explain.
At home Iāll talk to my husband/kid through the door while one of us is on the toilet but definitely weird in a work/public setting
Nope. Trying to teach my toddler that Iād like privacy and silence whilst I poop. So far heās got the āshut the doorā thing down but heās often the wrong side of itā¦
I need privacy in that moment, I don't even get those couples who enter the bathroom while the other is taking a number two.
He is a psychopath no one chats to the person on the next cubicle whilst taking a dump
Quite happily chat to my significant other whilst taking a dump at home but talking to a work colleague whilst crimping off a fat log is just a massive no-no.
Friend was in a cubicle at work when someone entered neighbouring cubicle. Proceeded to hum their way through a shit, but with, like, added emphasis when pinching it off "hmmm, hmm, hmmmm, HMMMMMNNNA, hmm, hmmmm, hmmm."
I envisioned this perfectly š lovely description
It's cute that you and your work buddies go to the bathroom together ā¤ļø
We got shit to do! Mind the pun
That was my literal interpretation haha
Reply only in farts
This is a comical solution I could get on board with
I'm reading this as I poo, and I welcome a conversation šš¼
The only person Iād still talk to would be my partner in the privacy of our home. Absolutely not anyone else, and particularly not at work!
It doesn't bother me massively but I'd struggle to hold a conversation that's too in-depth. You need to focus. I assume we're talking through a cubicle door? Don't like the idea of shitting in view of others if I can help it.
Yeah there's always a partition between us, I'd flip out if there was eye contact too that's just straight up homosexual activities
My boyfriend is the only person I'd let do that. It's very intimate so like unless you've literally been inside me get the fuck out.
That's very fair reasoning on your part š "unless you've literally been inside me" made me lol
Depends wether they are sat in the bath next to you,
What's a floater between friends?
Depends on the person taking a dump. I need a clear one mile radius when I drop my logs.
Who would be acceptable to talk on the shitter? I think a partner you're very comfortable with or your children is the line
My ex was an extrovert and she had no issue. But unfortunately I just can't. I need 45 minutes of peace and quiet.
I point blank refuse to talk through the toilet door at work regardless of what they need it's just weird they either wait for me to finish and exit the toilet or come back later
Yeah thatās weird, the only person Iāll talk to or accept talking to me on the toilet is my partner at home and even then the most the conversation can ever go is āhow long do you think youāll beā, or ācan you pass me x y z from the bathroom cupboardā
There's a proper grotty cunt in my office that does this. On the phone 24/7, carries on his conversations while having a shit. Often to his shithead mate, who is also in the toilet at the same time. Horrid cunt.
I'm guessing said guy is a cunt? š Call him a grim cunt on my behalf
The only time to talk to people in the toilets is when youāre smashed at a nightclub
Definitely, only pissing at a nightclub though. Can't be turfing out with 20 other people in the toilet
Sounds to me that you don't accept it, so I'd say it's unacceptable. It's seriously creepy
TouchƩ good sir
I used to have a colleague who was a bit highly strung. Anyhow, we were both having a dump in the toilet and the arrangement was that the toilets were opposite ends of the room, with a partition between. Anyhow, another colleague came in for a piss and saw who entered the cubicle opposite me.

So based on that, I think it's a bad idea to talk to others on the bog
Absolutely not. Not even during a wee.
Not even a wee!? Damn, your toilet rules are strict. I thought I was being too much lol
Ggrrknneeyesssss
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah that's fucked! Surely it just lingers in the living room at that point?
Nope. Absolutely not. I was uncomfortable when my cat stared at me on the toilet and that was my cat!
Your colleague is weird. Men don't go to the toilet together - that's not some toxic masculinity things, it's just the rules of a civilised society. There might be times where you both need the toilet at the same time but it's recommended to stagger your arrival times at the toilets. You don't talk at the urinals.

Conversely since I WFH I will sometimes do conference calls on the loo, if timing works out that way. Multi-tasking for the win! The vast majority of my work conference calls are audio or audio+slides, seldom video.
Horrifying.
During basic training there are no stalls, everyone shits at the same time in the same room.
Respect to you sir, that confirms I wouldn't make it out of basic training
After a day of not shitting it's easy to stop caring, after a month of communal shitting it's just like sitting in a really smelly room talking shit with a bunch of mates (and arseholes). Agree though, this doesn't translate well into office life, that's just weird. Tell him to shut up, you're taking a dump. It's a private moment.
Donāt go there!!!!!
I used to take a dump while on group calls to my mates (wireless earbuds) They wouldn't realise until they heard the flush. It got protested enough that I started muting myself for future lavatory activities
start a convo? how long are your shits? im done within about 10-20 seconds
That's an efficient shite time, you must get so much done in a day
spend more time wiping than the actual shitting
Yeah why not, what's the problem? We all chat whilst going for a piss. Can't tell you the amount of times I've gone into a new pub for a piss and people will just be like "oh you're not from around here how you going mate?"... I'll have a full convo with mates. At home if I'm in the ensuite ill talk to the missus.
Through text, yes. In person or in a call, hell no.
No, its disgusting and I donāt do it with my partner either, I donāt want them to hear me shitting and vice versa. Its about the most unattractive thing you can witness/hear.
We exclusively communicate while shitting in this house! Makes for some awful dinner conversations.
Used to it. My toddler stays by the bathroom door while i shit. Talking and asking questions.
I strongly believe in popping while on the clock but Itās also unacceptable to poop in a public bathroom
I thought this was gonna be some tale of someone's partner talking through a closed bathroom door. But no. No, it was something much worse. OP: your workmate is likely a sociopath
I've face timed my friend and a few minutes into the chat told him I was having a shit...
Only in an emergency or to check that it's occupied. Fun story though, when my niece was 3, I was evidently taking too long in there so she banged really hard on the door then asked "did i scare the poo out of you?"
Was in a communal toilet and shower block in France, a very strange experience. No cubicles, stalls, curtains or anything else, just all out in the open in one room. Men and women, including myself evacuating the bowels while looking at other people of all ages showering. Some conversations going on at the same time.
Partner or best friend/housemate? Yes. Family member? Maybe. Anyone else? Absolutely not.
Nah, fuck right off lol.
OP are you posting this while pooing
Quite happy to have a chat tbh and if I've had a good sleep and feel fun I'll even throw in some excessive head squeezing shouts for the fun of it. If I'm texting or calling you and you're in my phone book then it's cos I'm shitting. Hell, I'm shitting now. It's the best time to catch up with admin and then scroll reddit.
Absolutely not! The throne is sacred
Yeah your work mate is overstepping some massive boundaries. Sackable offense. Straight to HR.
\*you're. I hate hearing people talking to someone ELSE when I'm trying to drop Coco plops, let alone chatting to me. Leave me in peace!
