Your story reminds me of the time my sister (who was about 6 years old at the time) and I were in the ladies' room in a restaurant. We were washing our hands when all of a sudden we heard the sound of someone in one of the stalls grunting like a wounded bear, followed by the sound of something very heavy dropping in water. My sister, like many children who haven't yet learned the art of keeping your mouth shut, blurted, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?!" I started laughing but shushed her. I don't know who was more embarrassed- the person in the stall, or us for hearing those angry, angry grunts.

You wouldn't by chance have a small lime green purse and a pink iPod?

ROTFLMAO!!!

Kind of reminds me of that scene in the first Austin Powers movie where he's fighting the bad guy in the toilet and the guy in the other stall thought he had constipation

Guy: "Hey take it easy don't force it! You're gonna burn out you're o-ring"! Hey how about a courtesy flush!"

Austin: " Who does Number 2 work for? Who does Number 2 work for?"

Guy: "Yeah that's it, you should teach that turd who's boss!"

Crude, but funny.

Oooooo-kay. Just be glad my sister-in-law wasn't there. She has a tendency to speak her mind about such things, such as the time she had to use a unisex bathroom and a guy came out of the stall with his uhm appendage still sticking out. From the guys expression when he walked out of the bathroom door we could tell she gave him a few cutting remarks.

These are the courtesies that we learned at the fraternity house, thnk you.

And Alex, from dog sex to the poop story tells us that you are not getting out much these days...

Hey Alexa, have you seen Harold & Kumar go to White Castle? It's got a scene similar to what you went through that's simply priceless!

Sometimes you have to remind people of the "courtesy flush".

You know, I seldom even think about women making the same bodily noises as men, and therefore requiring the same courtesies in public. I would have been incredibly surprised.

hehe love it when u tell these so down to earth stories, things that everyone else goes through as well :)

omg - i have this co-worker who is in her 50s and about 5'0" even. no matter WHAT is going on in my life, i ALWAYS have to pee like a madwoman right after she's gone in and taken a huge krappe.

it's like a force field or something.

i usually don't have time to run down the stairs to the washroom on the floor below, either. gah.

lol! shit (no pun intended) like that always cracks me up!

Heh, nice story. Reminds me of a conversation I've had with a few buddies of mine about stall etiquette. Do you think there's a difference between male and female stall etiquette? Usually you hear about urinal etiquette, but sometimes us guys have to use the stalls too... ;)

OMG Alexa your growing!! Someone added your link in Mozilla Firefoxes popular link forum! =)
How cool is that? How are you anyways? Hope all is good-me-I'm doing well..... got a big 2nd interview tomorrow to get in my company on a permanant basis-keep your fingers crossed!

hey garrison and phuz,

so long as we eat, us women will also have the same bodily functions as boys! we just do a better job of concealing it. trust me, even the hottest women have smelly poo. :)

Manolo says,

Regarding the wearing of the Manolo shoes in the snow: the Manolo he takes you-paid-for-them-so-wear-them approach to the shoes.

Yes, the shoes they will last longer if they are taken the care of properly, but at the same time, are the shoes not for the wearing?

The Manolo see little wrong with wearing the good shoes in the snow.

Muchos Besos!

The courtesy flush? Isn't that a waste of precious, precious water? Whatever happened to reduce, reuse, recycle?

I refuse to curtesy flush. I dont want all the nasty water spraying all over my ass.

LOL! That is a funny post. How ironic that I posted about shitting in my blog before reading yours.

I agree about the courtesy flush. Flush to reduce the smell, pretty please with a cherry on top!

ROTFLMAO. What a riot.

Wow, the same thing happened to me today in a bathroom on campus, only I was standing at the urinal and this little old man (professor?) ran into the stall and all of a sudden I heard the same noises that you heard and he was shouting "Lord thank you," and "Ohh, good god." He was also banging on the stall walls and kicking his feet around. As I was walking out, he came out of the stall and didn't even wash his hands. Hopefully he wasn't going to eat lunch or something.

Thanks for the image, I appreciate it. Now I'm stuck with it :p

See...I can barely pee in public bathrooms. Although I'm very open with my body, and proud of everything that I am, I can't feel comfortable doing private things like that anywhere but my own home.

One day I'll have to get over that fear, but I'll agree with you Alexa....it's very unbecoming for a person to grunt whilst doing their business.

Oh, Lord, I needed that..I am laughing so hard ( on the inside at present, although quite outloud a moment ago) I can't it! Ever read something sooo funny that you just want to scream! Well, this did it for me!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Ok, I feel better now, thank you..Carry on.

Shoulda challenged her to a rousing game of battleshits.

Now you know why the woman prancing around in the mini-skirt in the cold was doing what she was: she was off to see a client. So in the same way that you had to climb through the snow to meet some client who insisted on fancy shoes, she had to wear a dress with a super-high hem for the same reason, weather be damned.

The courtesy flush is nasty. Toilet water can spray up to 6 feet when a flush happens. It's bad enough that I have to use a public restroom. I'm not going to compromise my cleanliness anymore by getting water from a publically used toilet sprayed up my butt.
