How to Shit at Work
Apr. 26, 2006 by Jason
This has been passed around via email for years, but someone just sent it to me again this week and I figured I’d share. It also reminded me of a recent post from Shirley. I’ve edited a bit to add vulgarity and hopefully a little more humor.
We’ve all been there but don’t like to admit it. We’ve all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK SHIT is inevitable. For those who hate dropping wolf bait at work, here’s a Survival Guide for shooting shitballs out of your ass on the company dime.
CROP DUSTING
When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn’t know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full gas cloud has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the stench has left your pants.FLY BY
The act of scouting out a bathroom before dropping the kids off at the pool. Walk in and check for other shitters. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.ESCAPEE
A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or shooting out a shitrocket in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.JAILBREAK
When squeezing out some soft serve, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.COURTESY FLUSH
The act of flushing the toilet the instant the dookiestick hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the butt nuggets have to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.WALK OF SHAME
Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER
A colleague who drops bombs at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N)
A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency cigar rolling goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the where abouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.SAFE HAVENS
A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a dumper of your sex entering the bathroom.TURD BURGLAR
Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when pinching a loaf at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.CAMO-COUGH
A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.ASTAIRE
A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the shitter can prairie dog in peace.WATERMELON
A hot log that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.HAVANA OMELET
A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an ASTAIRE.UNCLE TED
A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to release the chocolate hostages until the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.
Note - this post was tweaked using The Churning’s list of shit euphemisms.

Ooh, I’m pooping with excitement that you linked me! (alas I am not in the office)
April 26th, 2006
Thank God I don’t work and LMAO @ Note-

I say we organise a posse for those fuckin’ Uncle Teds.
Bastards. Hangin’s too good for ‘em.

i love embarrassing people in the bathroom. i make crazy groan noises on purpose sometimes.
and if it’s a one seater at a rest stop and you know your friend is next. don’t flush. listening through the door on the outside after is priceless.

Speaking of shit euphamisms… wow. I had no idea the extensive vocabulary associated with #2.
April 26th, 2006
You know I travel alot for work. Any advice on how I can get away with farting on a plane?
April 26th, 2006
Shirley:
Poo is exciting no matter where you’re dropping it.
Diane:
Yeah - I thought I should lead any newbies to the euphemisms page. It’s one of my favorites.
TC:
I never understood that. Why do they hang out in the stinkiest place in the office?
Jimmy:
Yeah, that’s classic. Every once in a while I might let out a painful sounding groan just for a laugh.
Randi:
Hells yes. Talking about #2 is one of my hobbies.
Trouble:
Great question! If you’re at the point where you can move around in the plane, you’ve gotta do it in the bathroom. Or at least walk down the aisle and act like you’re getting something from another area of the plane - like getting one of those shared magazines in the front.
If you can’t get out of your seat, then you have to open the little AC vent thing as much as possible and point it at your lap to air it out - or open a magazine and casually fan yourself like you’re just really warm.

Somebody cropdusted in my department this morning. I didn’t want to protest, lest I be pelted with accusations of “Ye who smelt it dealt it”
April 26th, 2006
Trouble - you should totally go and fart in first class! Poo on them!
April 26th, 2006
What about when this one happens? You go into the bathroom and it totally reeks because someone else has already been in there, but left. You go in, pee, and while you are standing there washing your hands, someone else comes in and you know they are thinking it was you who stunk the place out.
You pull a
SWITCHAROO; POINT AN EMPTY STALL AND SILENTLY COMMUNICATE (BODY LANGUAGE AND SIGN LANGUAGE) TO THE PERSON WHO WALKED IN AS IF SOMEONE STILL WAS IN THE STALL AND THEREFORE A SOURCE OF ALL THAT SMELL… WORKS WITH FARTS AS WELL, BUT REQUIRES CONFIDENCE FROM THE ONE WHO’S PULLING IT…

If I expect any loud noises while sitting down, I flush the toilet right as it happens. I may have to flush several times, but I can always blame the automatic flush. I think that’s the only good thing that has ever come out of the automatic flush.

Just another reason I love working the graveyard shift. I’m the only female on the floor during those late hours, so I get the entire ladies restroom to myself. I gotta tell ya (and I wouldn’t put this on anyone else’s blog, what is it about this blog that makes me speak so freely), Just tonight I was VERY sick, I had the Hershey Squirts, and I really enjoyed having that bathroom to myself.

shirley,
I lost my medallion status on delta this year thanks to my divorce. I totally miss first class.
Pooing there is infinitely better than in coach.

Used to share a cubicle with a guy who would disappear for a half-hour after lunch every day and come back just reeking of ass sweat, like his ass had to hike up the amazon or something just to push that turd out. He was kind of clammy and chubby and it was much too close of quarters.
The sad part is you eventually get comfortable with the smell of another man’s ass sweat.

Cinders:
But you can always come back with “He who denied it supplied it.”
RockyJay:
Every day when I first go to the men’s room at work, it always reeks. I never really worry about what a coworker might think if he came in there after me, but they really need a better ventilation system in there.
J.Mo:
I imagine that when you’re in the bathroom it sounds like the Battleshits scene from Harold and Kumar.
Mel:
Good call. You gotta have privacy if you’re about to open a can of soup.
SleepingMachine:
Did he get an ass-sweat streak down the back of his pants?
April 27th, 2006
Well…Shit.
HOPE THIS? MAKES YOU SMILE
THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD
Well, it’s shit … that’s right, shit!
Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.
Consider:
You can get shit-faced, Be shit-out-of-luck, Or have shi…

caffeine is the miracle drug that makes everything better.
Thank heavens for The Churning’s guide on pooing in the office…

I had no idea how much i would need this post this week, JJ. It was incredibly timely.
April 28th, 2006
Sweet! Another trackback. thanks!!
