At my last job, I could walk into the bathroom and recognize instantly who was in there after one whiff; that's how frequently this particular individual chose to do this at work. Trust me, if your senses were assaulted like this day after day by the same individual, you would also find it highly offensive, to say the least.

I do feel sorry for sufferers of IBS, but that's more of a woman's problem. Chances are, if the repeat-offender is a man, he doesn't have IBS; he's just plain gross.

Why would anyone want to control stuff like this, honestly, life is too short. Just go when you need to go. Anyone who stinks out a bathroom on a regular basis either has an awful diet (like eating too much meat) or is unhealthy in some way. But some people are like that and they don't care.

Other people do pretty well without ever having to resort to air freshener, and if I ever find myself having a pooping schedule, the world has permission to shoot me

Btw, a hang-up over toilet business is a sure sign that you're uptight
