    I used to be a huge advocate for “boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I shit on company time”, but now that I have a bidet at home, I would just as soon die that shit at the office. I’ll hold it until I get to a place where I can clean my asshole properly after

      Two words. Portable bidet. I have one everywhere i poop often and one to take with me for longer trips. They’re good and cheap so why not.

        So you take an apparatus with you every time you use the bathroom away from home? I’m not judging, I’m just genuinely curious about how that works

          They are small. It’s like taking a phone around with you. For me they are not sufficient as a TP substitute but as an adjunct. I am partial to the Toto motorized one.

            What about splashback? Do they need to be cleaned? How does one transport them? I love bidets, but I’d feel icky tossing a portable one in a backpack along with my lunch…

              Keeps in a bag. Propels stream at an angle and waste water falls vertically down, so it’s not getting directly bathed in waste. It folds up and tip is concealed. I just wipe down tip with some TP.

                It goes on the rim and hangs inside the toilet bowl, right? That thing is festering with shit particles if so.

                  No. Look up portable bidets. Many options but I don’t think any are like that

      I’ve never in my life been a baby wipe user… Untill I got a bidet at home. Now I stock work with them just so I can clock those work hours.

        They are really bad for pipes, and I don’t give a fuck about my employers pocket book, but I don’t want the poor custodial staff of the building to have to unclog pipes because of my asshole.

    Ok, so I get the meme/reference - but I can’t relate at all and need to ask. Is this a real thing?

    I started drinking coffee only 5-6 years ago, have 2-3 cups in the morning. Sometimes nothing else, sometimes a little food. I have NEVER had to “run to the bathroom” due to coffee. Except to pee all the water out.

    Am I broken?

      I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. Once that cup is done I will definitely need access to a bathroom within the next hour or so. I’ve never had to “run” to the bathroom, but it does become quite… persistent after that

      Caffeine is a stimulant and it creates bowel contractions. If it doesn’t make you have to poop, it’s probably due to your BM schedule. You might be one of those people who poop in the afternoon or something.

      I don’t like coffee so I usually drink about one or two cups a day (when I am at work and don’t wfh because the coffee is free) and I never had any problems with it.

      if I ever drink coffee or anything with caffeine and I’m not really active after drinking it - I’ll need the bathroom within an hour or so. If I’m active I’ve noticed this doesn’t happen, though I don’t drink caffeine often so it could be a coincidence.

    He wasn’t very powerful. All he did was make his staff flash and set off some fireworks.

    He says he killed a balrog, but can we be certain?
