Why do men take so long to.....
Why do men take so long to take a freakin' shit?!?!?!
EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. Nick has to take a 20 minute crap. And, almost without fail (today is no exception) this is timed so that I can't get into the bathroom for 20-30 minutes during my morning-getting-ready time... thus making me stressed and behind schedule. ARGH!!!! When we move, we WILL have at least 1.5 bathrooms, because this is getting really freakin' old!!!!
I can shit in about 2 minutes... why can't men do that?!?!?!
ETA: On a related note, I REALLY want a bathroom with an exhaust fan!!

I said something to Alex about that this morning, and he took the hint and took a shit in record time.
Actually, what I said was that yesterday when I was home with Reed (he's sick) and had to go, I had to leave the bathroom door open so he could come in with me...and he (Alex) goes off, shuts the door, and takes a 45 minute shit. He tried to make some excuse, but when it happens on a daily basis, excuses don't work.
He went to the bathroom, closed the door, and came back out about five minutes later.

Luke usually is in there for 5-10 minutes tops. It doesn't take him an unusually long time. However, he totally refuses to poop anywhere except our bathroom. We could be across the bay at IKEA or something and he'll hold it for 2 hours. All the while getting increasingly more impatient and tense. By the time we get home he's like running for the apartment. It's really ridiculous. And he gets all defensive, like "I don't bother you about when and where you poop". He won't even talk about it! LOL
Luke WILL take hour long showers. We'll have our plans set and then he goes in the shower and I don't see him for another hour and a half. Makes me so mad.

YES!!!!!! Only Nick won't hold it.... we'll have to stop what we're doing, come home for him to poop, and then head BACK out for whatever additional errands/etc we want to do!Annie wrote:.

WTF is up with that?!
Yep. that's Jason too. Except that we have an, uh, open-door policy, so even if he takes forever, I can do what I need to do.Annie wrote:Luke usually is in there for 5-10 minutes tops.

(and sometimes I take a long time too )
That is so Cary . He has to go at home. He's very quick about it. And he would die of embarrassment if he knew I just told you guys that. He is very private about that kind of stuff. We definately do not have an open door policy like April and Jason! Some things are better off kept a mystery. My sister leaves the door open when she uses the bathroom at our house, though!Annie wrote:Luke usually is in there for 5-10 minutes tops. It doesn't take him an unusually long time.

OMG...I had no idea this was such a guy thing. I thought it was a Bo thing!
I deal with the whole poop at home thing too. I'm with you CL, we used to run out, then have to run back home for pooping then get back out again.
And the sitting in there for 20-30 mins every morning. When we bought our house we had to have more than 1 bathroom, so we ended up with 1.5. Now I want 2 fulls or 2.5 next time around because when he gets ready in the morning he spends ALL his time in there. Sometimes I wish I was a fly on the wall so I could see what takes so damn long. Of course I'd need a tiny fly noseplug though.

I couldn't agree more. That's the ONLY mystery left after a few years after all .He is very private about that kind of stuff. We definately do not have an open door policy like April and Jason! Some things are better off kept a mystery.
I gotta say I'm jealous of all of you. You guys don't know what a special occasion it is for me to poop. I could never EVER go anywhere except home, and I need to know I have plenty of time. If I know I have to leave the house soon, forget it. NOT gonna happen. But I *am* quick once I'm in there.
Why is it that the poop threads are always the most popular?

Since having Julian, it's become a special occasion for me, so I've started to sympathize with Bo, a bit. LOL I like the private time I get in there, noone will dare bother me, and I can surf the internet on my PDA, read a magazine, do a Sudoku, whatever. So I guess I've started to become guilty of longer poop times. I used to be in and out in 5 seconds.
