So I'm in the ladies' room and I notice this woman talking on her cell phone. What could be so Earth shattering that one has to be having a conversation in the ladies' room??

I'm with you, Therese. There is one particular woman I work with and I HATE to find out that I'm in the ladies' room with her. She can share if she wants - I don't want to.

Theres, you clearly don't have a big enough opinion of just how interesting your life is to everyone you can tell about it! Either that or you just don't know enough gossip (or make enough up)

Poor focus behind the camera creates as many bad photos as poor focus through the camera!

One of my pet peeves are people who talk on the cell phone in the lavatory. I still retain that vestige of a sense of privacy!

I few years back, I stopped at a Luvs in Weatherford for gas and restroom and the guy in the next stall says, Hey, Hows it goin'?"

I'm kind of taken aback, but I reply, "Uhm, Pretty good, how about you?"

Then he says, "Well what are you up to?"

I'm still feeling really weird, but don't want to be rude so I respond, "Oh, I'm driving out to Abilene to visit family."

Then he says, "I'm going to hang up now. Some idiot in the next stall is trying to carry on a conversation with me."

I was at DFW Airport one time and had to use the facilities. The guy in next stall is having a loud conversation with someone on the phone. I busted out laughing when he said "wait a second...I have to set the phone down to wipe my aXX"

She need a copy of the rules.... print this out and leave an anonymous copy on her desk when she isn't around.

HOW TO PROPERLY POOP AT WORK!!!

We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.

CROP DUSTING when farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.

FLY BY The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

ESCAPEE A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK when forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you has just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.


OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER a colleague who poops at work and is proud of It. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of the Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.


THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P. F. N) A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.

WATERMELON A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH
