Do you, or do you not, poop at work<\/a>?<\/p>\n This makes me think of a tangential discussion: are you able to poop in a public bathroom stall at all? This may be only applicable to women – or MOSTLY applicable to women – not sure … but many of us sit around agonizing about this.<\/p>\n I got no problem with it. Bathrooms are THERE for me to do my thing. Why should I be embarrassed about … er… using the bathroom appropriately<\/i>?<\/p>\n I swear to God that … from wherever I am in NYC – you put me down on any random street corner – and I will be able to tell you where the nearest public bathroom is. I mean, to some degree, you HAVE to have that talent here in the city. If you want any freedom, I mean, if you want to be able to spend 6 hours window-shopping in Soho. (And sorry, but the women who work in the shoe stores in Soho NEVER poop. Those women look inhumanly perfect, and it would be impossible to go up to them and say, “Uh … I need to use your bathroom … ???”) No. They would shame you. “Bathroom? Wow. I<\/i> don’t need to use those<\/i>.”<\/p>\n Maybe I’m weird, but I have no problem doing my business in a public bathroom. I don’t know. IT’S A BATHROOM. WHAT THE HELL ELSE AM I GONNA DO IN THERE? It’s not like I poop in the fountain at Lincoln Center, or on the escalator at Virgin Records. IT’S A BATHROOM. THAT’S WHAT IT’S THERE FOR.<\/p>\n However, I do know many people (not just women – although they are MOSTLY women) who are completely unable to poop in a public bathroom. I am glad I am not cursed with that. I have a level of ambulatory freedom that these women don’t. (Especially with my talent for knowing where all public bathrooms are, in all of the 5 boroughs.) Don’t want to make it sound like I poop all day long. Of course not. But if I have to go? I am able to go. And I know where <\/i>to go. Immediately.<\/p>\n I have pneumonia. Forgive me. I’m a bit consumed with bodily functions right now, and Dooce’s post <\/a>brought it to the forefront.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Poop discussion following.
