But then you miss the excitement of being able to race the person in the neighbouring cubicle.
Casual Conversation
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Your legs are gonna fall asleep if you don't get off the toilet sometime
I can never get the harmonic resonance of my farts just right in the work toilets. At home I can make that baby hum like a didgeridoo
This is a valid point, the down side is I have to pay for the toilet paper and water myself.
Pro tip, any time you do visit the office, bring a standard key for the dispenser. I mean they bought it for your use, right? If you don't have an office nearby you can always visit someone else's office.
Awesome, thank you for the top tip!
I have a bidet and a towel. One toilet paper roll lasts 6 months.
Are you that cheap?
Sorry mate, I was just making a joke.
That ain't allowed in these here parts, pardner.
Don't you get bored of masturbating in the same toilet everyday?
Disagree, it means I have to fight with my partner for use of the toilet and she is somehow always in the bathroom
sounds like someone needs more fiber supplementation
Trap the place
Fuq yeah! I have a fancy Japanese bum-washer, it's far better than anything in an office, and you don't have to worry about what sounds or smells you make.
I don't understand why office toilets don't have white noise machines. nobody wants to hear their coworkers.
I'm in shambles any time I have to shit without a bidet
Americans are disgusting pigs running around with doodoo asses
I can only imagine. Can you image working in construction? No break room. Nowhere to sit for lunch. Eight porta potties for two hundred workers, sitting in the direct sun on a code red day. Dude that cleans them is puking.
When I got higher up, and got access to an entire building, I'd find an empty floor and use those bathrooms. Pure luxury.
Having worked construction, there are plenty of places to sit for lunch if you don't mind improvising or you drive to work. Porta-johns are definitely nightmarish tho. On the last job I worked, someone (we still aren't sure who) missed the hole with a puddle of straight diarrhea, rendering one of the only two toilets on the entire job virtually unusable.
I think my butt would get sore if I used the toilet all day long but its definitely better than doing it at work
