Doniker's POTW:

<BLOCKQUOTE>
"Shameless Shitter." Yes, I am the one who coined this phrase. And of course, I am a very shameful shitter. Lord knows I have tried to change, and face my fears of shitting in public.

"I have discussed this subject on PoopReport. I have read the manifesto. I have taken advice from others. But after today, I know I will never become a Shameless Shitter. I also believe that bathrooms in which multiple people can shit, piss, snot, or whatever all together at the same time should be outlawed.

"Today I walked into the men's room at work to take a leak. I started to piss at the urinal and I thought I was alone when all of a sudden I heard the sound of some guy grunting, farting loudly and dropping his mud. I was simply grossed out. It was twenty minutes before lunch, I don't need to hear that.

"Call me a pussy, call me picky, but I don't want or need to hear, smell, or observe anyone elses bodily functions, nor do I want to expose mine to anyone. Fuck the Shameless Shitting Manifesto -- I believe all bathrooms should contain only one toilet and one sink."</BLOCKQUOTE>

So, what do you think? Does being a good Shameless Shitter -- respecting the shitting rights of others, and expecting your rights to be rejected in return -- mean you have to learn how to tolerate the nasty smells, sounds and sights of other people?

I'm a shameful shitter myself, but subscribe to the manifesto nonetheless -- shameless has got to be the way to go. I've spent far too many hours desperately holding it in just because I didn't want anyone to hear me. I've even been too embarassed to go at home! I'm trying to get over that. I don't wish shameful status on anyone.

It strikes me, though, that if you're shitting in public, it's good to be a bit discreet. Farts are unavoidable, ditto splashes, other butt noises, etc, and so there's no reason to be embarassed about them. But grunting (loudly), moaning, or commenting on the proceedings seems pretty gauche to me. That seems kind of invasive, y'know? Maybe more like turd terrorism.

If I heard that, Doniker, I'd be more embarassed than grossed out. And then I'd be embarassed about my embarassment. This has actually happened to me, more than once. Arg!

Tolerance is bliss.

Shameless shitters do indeed get grossed out, at least this one does. Who wants to see a clogged toilet in a public restroom that's filled to the rim with moldy turds? Or someone with the runs that sprayed their ass all over the wall? Granted I don't see this type of stuff very often, but there are just some things people should never, ever see.

I even gross myself out sometimes. I got a sandwich from Subway a couple of days ago. It was piled high with onions, black olives, and jalapenos. My farts could strip paint afterward with their oiniony stench that stung the eyes and made them water. I found myself consciously holding them in so that I wouldn't asphyxiate myself....and so that I could save them up for work. Something that nasty just had to be shared with my workmates.

subway gut is the worst.

When I worked at subway, we had cockroaches crawling all over the back room and sometimes on the food. I'm not talking your average NYC cockroaches or anywhere else up north with roaches, no I'm talking the infamous "Palmetto Bug"

This baby has a body up to 1.75 inches long, as compared to the .5 inch roaches found in NYC and the northeast. (palmetto bugs are found in new york though, but never as big) So here I am at 6 in the morning walking out to the backdoor through a dark hallway. I recall the movie, "Indiana jones and the temple of doom."

"Dr. Jones, we step on fortune cookie?"

But these were no cookies!!! They were HUGE!!! That grossed me out, they were all over the place, even in the can. I thought it was more disgusting than anyhting that I had ever seen cleaning a restroom. I quit after 2 days.

Gross! The Subway I worked in was sparkling clean. Even if the manager was a raging alcoholic who was never even there. Haha, once I had to bail her out of jail for DUI. A 16 year old kid getting his "29 year old" boss (try 35 year old) out of jail. That was a fun job...

by **Trashcanman** on Oct 16 2002 4:05 am

I had to drive my fair share of drunks around too, but I won't bail out a drunk driver, ever. It's against my ethics. I'll let hem pay, or I'll punish them myself.

I believe, TCM, the topic was being grossed out. Not Subway. Focus.

Chip is right. Shameless Shitters may not like what everyone else does, but we have to tolerate it, if we expect them to tolerate us. In a functioning society, we all have to sacrafice a little for the good of the majority. In this case, we have to accept that we may have to encounter the smells and sounds of others, but that is the price we pay for the right to go where we want, when we want, and not have to hold it until we get home for fear of what others may think.

Alas but senior David, you be missin da point.

My point is that I'm a shameless shitter, and I was utterly grossed out by cockroaches crawling on my leg when I was trying to crap more than any other fecal mess I had to clean up.

Now watch this...

by **Dakota6941** on Oct 17 2002 9:49 pm

No, Dave is not missing the point. This is yet another example of how you ruin every thread with your dumb fantasies and irrelevant posts.

by **Trashcanman** on Oct 18 2002 7:42 pm

As you can see, I'm calmly trying to explain myself to Dave and Dakota.

:roll:

No, you don't understand. My point is that shamelessness has noting to do with basic human emotion. Someone who is completely shameless about his/her own bodily functions can very easily be grossed out at even the slightest fart or grunt from another. Everyone is "clean" to themselves. But other people are a different story. Other people present "foreign" bodys into our atmoshpere, and thus shame only covers our acceptance with our own bodilly functions. The story on the front page, "can't hardly wait," has a link to a pic of shit all over a toilet. Was I grossed out? No, it's just a picture. But was I grossed out when I was pooping and a cockroach crawled up my leg? Yes, I was. Was I grossed out when someone walked in and puked while I was shitting the other day? Yes, I was a little. The point is that even the most shameless shitters can experience distaste on any level. Like this.

Shameless/Easily grossed out
Shameless/Unable to be grossed out
Shameful/Easily grossed out
Shameful/Unable to be grossed out
And everything in between. You see, I don't believe that it has any bearing on shamelesness. But on the other hand, I don't think shame has any bearing on ease to upset one.[code][/code]

TCM needs to go for one of those law degrees you get through the mail because he is so technical. I hate hearing stuff I already know..........you know?

by **Demure Pooper** on Oct 19 2002 8:34 am

I dunno, guys. I know I'm new around here and everything, but I've read some of the old posts, so I know some of what's gone on round here. TCM seems pretty harmless to me. Why's he the goat?

by **Chip Brown** on Oct 19 2002 11:01 am

Demure: ask him about his beloved Boca.
