My bathroom rant, saved for posterity
Sep. 16th, 2015 04:19 pmRather than do another whole "yes I'm still basically dying" update, I will just let you assume that everything is still terrible (it is) and instead copy and paste the following g-chat exchange between myself and
per_aspera_ad_astra :
Me: god the bathroom thing
Kelly: i can't even imagine
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Kelly: here, watch whine about it
i'm sure you have a co-worker or two like this
Me: god the bathroom thing
which is exponentially worse in my condition
Kelly: i can't even imagine
his rant about reply all was pretty emotional, haha
Me: the worst is when you run into them right outside the door
and you can't like, suddenly change direction like you were going to go somewhere else
so you HAVE to go in with them
and then they start talking to you
and keep talking when you go in the stall
and it's already going to be blatantly obvious that you're taking a lot longer than them because you are clearly sitting there waiting for them to leave so that you can poop
but then it's like, they don't want to leave without you b/c you're ~having a conversation
and it's like JUST GTFO
I AM GOING TO BE AWHILE
YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN
meanwhile my ass is turning purple from the strain of ~holding it in
Kelly: you have really stupid co-workers
Me: yeah
I mean, I don't mind exchanging a "hey how are you" if you're just there to pee and you run into each other at the sink
but for god's sake, you know I have a digestive condition, go away so I can poop
maybe people don't realize that I am ALWAYS there to poop?
I am never not pooping
actually, i take that back
sometimes I'm there to vomit
in which case, I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO CHAT
once, a coworker stopped me on the way into the bathroom to chat and in the middle of the conversation I literally gagged and clapped my hand over my mouth and ran inside
Kelly: omg
yes, your coworkers have got to learn better bathroom etiquette
Me: to be fair, the same coworker was nice enough to offer to drive me home afterward so I didn't puke on the metro
still
don't be stopping a girl on her way to puke or you might get puked ON
