I experienced something recently that I found so bizzare a concept that I just have to pass it on. I'm in the men's room, doing my business so to speak when I hear a familiar sound from the stall next to me. (No not THAT sound!) I hear the unmistakable sound of a hand reaching into and rummaging around in a bag of chips. I think, no, it can't be. Perhaps its just a newspaper or something and my imagination has....but no, just then I hear the unmistakable sound of potato chips being munched. Some nutter is eating and evacuating at the same time! WTF! I left before they emerged so never saw the culprit. Then the other day I saw a woman leaving the ladies room with an open tub of potato salad. Don't know if she ate in there or what her business may have been but an OPEN tub of potato salad? What sort of mad bizzaro world do I live in? Anyone else experience something like this? Am I nuts or is that just wrong?

I once ate a sammich while taking care of my business. And yes, I've done worse things while eating. Don't see what the big deal is.

maleficent

Eating in the john? Seems a little unhygenic to me... kinda icky even.

Reading, yes, absolutely... but eating? Are they that busy?

Though I have seen people in airports, WOMEN, talking on their cell phone while peeing -- and flushing - and I know they didn't mute the phone.

Thank God I have never witnessed such a disgusting act. Why anyone would eat in the god damn bathroom (a public bathroom for that matter) is completely beyond me.......absolutely sick. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in peoples heads.

The other day I went to the bathroom at my work (which is located outside because we are in a office) and some guy was at the urinal with his pants and underwear FULLY DOWN!!! taking a piss.....he didn't give a damn that someone might walk in and see his bare ass at the urinal. I wanted to use the bathroom but decided to just wash my hands and leave to to the downstairs bathroom....some people are just strange.

Blasphemy.

Ahaha, I see nothing wrong with it at all. Killing two birds with one stone.
I brush my teeth on the can, and I even play bass on it too. You can't go wrong.

Painted

I bring my drink into the restroom if im at a party or something. I don't drink it, but its there.

A little OT: Has anyone noticed that guys always stare down at their dicks when they're taking a piss at a urinal?

Coppertop

Not always. It's either down, up or sometimes straight ahead (especially if there's wall adds or something - and yes, I know it is obvious). But what else you gonna do? Looking at the guy next to you (or his wang) is pretty uncool with everyone I know.

FngKestrel

I was at work once and saw a guy drinking a soda while peeing. Probably could have cut to the chase and just poured the drink into the urinal.

VitaminH

At bars and such it's not uncommon to bring your drink in with you to void...but eating chips while pooping? Kind of gross to me at least. To me my hands are dirty once I'm in the bathroom until I wash on the way out, I'd rather not be using them to put things in my mouth...

My gawd! Absolutely bizarre.

I googled to find the article that I read about a year ago that said under certain circumstances, bacteria from the bowl can become airborne and even land metres (I mean yards) away. I could not find it to quote it properly, but I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, for the sake of your health, DO NOT eat while you are defecating, it could mean e-coli poisoning, which is not pleasant.

Go ahead and play base, read, talk on the phone (eww!), do whatever you want, just don't put anything into your mouth until you've WASHED YOUR HANDS.

A bag of chips? Eww...

Peace,

Pierre

eating while taking a dump is indeed a bizzare concept. not sure how one concentrates on one act or the other?!

Ishmal

If you think that's bad, you should see what I saw a guy do in the potato chip aisle at the grocery store.

Psycho Dad

Oh I've seen this shit. One day I was in the restroom at the urinal when I hear some commotion going on over towards the stalls. I looked over and from under the bottom of the stall door I could see an Igloo cooler and a hand reaching in and pulling out a sandwich. I made a point in waiting outside after I was done just to see who the fuck would want to have action on both ends of their digestive tract at the same time and the guy that came out didn't surprise me any. And for what it is worth, I've seen the same fucker headed back to the shitter with his igloo several time since that one. And as you can guess, the damn fool doesn't wash his hands afterwards either.

The first thing I reach for in the head is the FLUSH chain when some dipstick comes in there on the phone or has the nerve to answer a call while in the arena. The noise and the subsequent reaction is usually worth a chuckle.

I'd never eat while in there. Get in, get busy, finish and get out.

I've been known to take my coffee with me at work....if I've just fixed it....but Im the only female so Im the only one using my bathroom and it saves me from backtracking...but I set it on the counter I dont take it in the stall

oh....and I talk on my cell phone in the bathroom too, I didnt know there was anything wrong with that

uncle_el

guess it's sort of irrelevant that he doesn't wash his hands afterwards, considering he makes a conscious effort to lug an igloo in with him to a bathroom!
now that i think about it, i'm not sure which part is scarier!

Coppertop

You sure he was shitting in there and not simply eating in the stall? I can see how he might have just been eating and wanted to be alone for some reason.

Suave

Hah yeah. I've taken a dump while on the phone. My friend would have been so impressed if he knew.
I don't think it's a good idea to eat on the john though, what with the risk of E.Coli and all that. Plus it's just nastah.

uncle_el

aren't there other places to be alone other than the stall of a bathroom?!?!?!?!?

Coppertop

As I do not work at the location in question, I have no idea.

Psycho Dad

By the smell, I'd say he needed left alone alright. And there are plenty of empy tables in the break rooms and areas that one can be alone at.

sorry, wasn't trying to be rude.
i just figured if you wanted to be alone, you'd go to your car, your desk, the corner of the building, somewhere other than the stall to eat. :shrug:

ChickenNinja

I've been on the phone with a friend while he was taking a piss. "Dude, what are you doing?" "taking a piss" "ugh. call me back when you're done"

Umm........ hmm.... this is akward, what can i say, i was in there for like a half and hour and had the munchies. And Rdr4evr, sorry about that too. I enjoy showing my bare ass. No, im just kidding, that is indeed very disgusting, why someone would do it, i dunno.

*Nikki*

This is funny because for some reason my boss has recently started putting food in the bathroom for employees to snack on. I think it is disgusting and I don't understand it.

maleficent

One of the "feminine hygiene" product companies is now making a product that comes with a quiet wrapper, so that when you are in a restroom, that telltale sound isn't heard.. It's quiet... (Now, I swear, i wasn't aware that this was a problem) However, maybe the snackfood manufacturers could take a lesson from the feminine hygiene product makers and make a "silent wrapper" for Twinkies... There might be a whole bathroom snackfood market that has just not been tapped.

As a few people have previously said, I too will bring a drink with me to the bathroom at a party. I have also been called from a bathroom, though it was more of a "Holy shit, theres a phone in the bathroom" call than anything else.

Yes, thats right, I was in a hotel that had telephones in the bathroom.

smooth

well, I might as well admit it: I eat while shitting or pissing, too.

I don't quite see the big hubabaloo about it. As far as I'm concerned, the dirtiest thing is the faucet I touch to wash my hands afterward (I kick the flusher).

The way people are describing flying shit particles, I'm left wondering if you people are taking full body showers afterward. Otherwise, how do you stand all those particles all over your head, face, and clothes?

I've read those things too. I also read that you should wash your hands before your business, not after. My dick is pretty clean, my hands throughout the day less so, so that makes sense to me.

But anyway, it's not like I'm sticking my finger in my ass. And if I do happen to slip, I don't go sticking my shitty finger in my bag of chips! E. Coli is only dangerous if it's someone else's, BTW. Go ahead and eat poop particles--as long as they're your own!

It's not for me, eating while shitting.

Now typing while shitting... That's another matter.

Hoooray for wireless internet!

I wouldn't want any food of any kind (except gum that would remain safely IN my purse) to accompany me to a public restroom. I don't personally believe that more than half the people (if that) actually wash their hands after using the bathroom. My grandma was on the obsessive side and would always grab one last papertowel to open the bathroom door when leaving. I may not do that but I can't help cringing and using the pinky of my LEFT hand to open the door. Maybe I'm wierd too.

On the other hand - at home. I have eaten a bite or two or taken an drink while on there. I find it hard to find a moment of peace without kids hovering near. Getting to have ONE bit of food without them watching or even begging for it is worth it over the grodieness of the act. That said I've only done it a couple times. I HAVE frequently taken medication while on the stoold. Mostly just at nighttime when it's one of those times and I don't want to be out of bed any longer than absolutely necessary cause I feel miserable.

i couldn\'t do that either. it\'s not necessary unhygenic if one does it carefully, yet it surely is unappetizing.

Conclamo Ludus

I used to have a roommate that was known to leave the bathroom door open while taking a shit, with a KFC Drumstick in one hand and an ice cold beer in the other. He though he was in heaven.

I read a lot in the bathroom. Reading I have absolutely no problem with.

Eat? Never.
For some reason that just crosses some unseen line I've drawn. When I was a smoker, I wouldn't smoke while using the bathroom. I won't even chew gum when I shit. I just have no desire to make myself do these things while I'm on the toilet.

A good friend of mine had a brother who after school everyday about 4:00 would come home make a bologna sandwich and go take a dump. Everyday. Like clockwork. A McPherson special - Sandwich and a Shit. He'd leave the bathroom door open sometimes too, but only to yell for another sandwich.

It was both funny and disgusting.

Yep - I finished it before it left. It was a pretty odd experience.

Since most of the human sense of taste has to do with the sense of smell, I can only imagine what that bag of chips might taste like while a big steamy load of slips out of your cornhole. A Baby Ruth bar, perhaps?

I guess some people like the taste of their own $hit?

Sorry. Not going to happen.

Seeing as my opinion is my own, I'm going to think you're one nasty fuck if I see you take food in the bathroom. I will treat you from that day foreward LIKE as nasty, dirty, uncivilized human. Yes, my image of you will change. To me, you will become someone who does not understand what a civilized human being is. You will be nasty, and dirty to me always.

I can see, a drink, being taken into a bathroom, and set on a counter. I don't think it's the best idea, and I'd avoid it myself. But, I can see it. Hopefully, it'd be a bottle w/a cap on it...

I can't see eating in a bathroom. Period. Some things are disgusting. For me, that's damn sure one of them.
