Remember that "oil change" I took my truck to get when I was there?

Yeah. Just turn on the fan, guys. Open a window, if available.

Did your bathroom think that a few hours later?
I was staying at a hotel, which is great because ppl forget there's a guilt-free turlet in the lobby area.

So we traveled on a whim with some friends and shared a room. Both of them went downstairs to the lobby bathroom. The lady for everything and the guy for shits. I never thought about it before them. So that's a thing other people do?
I do this all the time at hotels. Not out of shame, but out of a sense of decency and respect towards my wife.

But that's the issue; hotel bathroom fans don't work and they don't have windows. Its a courtesy to the room, not some horrid self-disgust. Like, I don't leave my own house to shit.

Also yes, and walking around cities. If there's not a Whole Foods, I'm finding a 3/4 star chain hotel.

Sure, while out and about. But if I have a room I've paid for I'm gonna shit there.

And I thought the oil change was weird, Giff, but you had just driven a long ways. But I've always had a suspect tummy, so it's any port in a storm for me.

I've shit in Rass's, Sabo's and Mulligan's abodes. Just for reference. ANd I'll shit in any of youse guys'.

I would shit at all your houses twice unless you lived in a small apartment with a bathroom that's essentially in the living area.

My favorite hotel lobby bathrooms in Portland have pretty much all been key-coded, but it's easy to get the code if you act like a fancy-pants guest in the throes of an emergency. Boulder hotels still roam free. (yes I realize that the thread is about actually staying at the hotel)

A "courtesy flush" should eliminate most of the issue, as the only way your shit smells is by being above the water in the toilet.

I just discovered the normal Mens/non-binary and Women's non-binary bathrooms in my office. Until yesterday, I thought we only had "All gender" bathrooms with individual rooms. Men's room is my favorite bathroom ever. Last stall has a fully opening window with amazing views of the Empire State Building, the Madison Square Park clock tower and others. Enjoyed a nice breeze while taking in the view.

Surprised no woman ever abruptly corrected your misconception when you entered the Ladies’ Room.

"Taking in the view" is a very classy euphemism.

This firm I'm doing some work for now provides a laptop and requires attorneys to be facially monitored with the cam. I was in the middle of a long, LONG Teams meeting yesterday and needed to #2. So for the first time in my professional career I took a meeting in the commode, muted (hopefully).

It's probably a good thing I still haven't attached my bidet on that toilet yet. The rushing water if it came through the monitoring would've certainly turned heads.

You all have some sort of aversion to poop. I'll shit pretty much anywhere including a consultation. I do of course mute when I flush. I'm not a grunting type of ass flexer and although I don't hydrate as much as I should the beer keeps the feces slimy and it enters the bowl with Greg louganis levels of splash. Certainly not audible. Biggest issue is the speaker echo. Tiles and all. Can't wipe nor hold a phone to my ear comfortably with my left so I gotta drill that I guess

I turn on the fan, and if necessary, courtesy flush. And, warn the wife to go elsewhere.

Ok great fucking pull, and not just for young Regina King. But wasn’t everyone’s point just that they didn’t want to be that guy?
