I might say something like "Oof, gravity is kicking in, I gotta go have a seat..."

"Gotta see a man about a dog."

Had a coworker that would go the the bathroom and sit in there for 10 to 15 so I started calling it a "Tony ten-er."

My ex boss used to say he was going to use the library whenever he had to shit. Don't know why.

I take it your boss was Gen X or older?

In the pre cell phone era, it was common for bathrooms to contain various magazines or books.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Uhhhhhh.......was that a regional thing? Because I'm old enough to remember bathrooms before cell phones.

I don't remember magazines/books being left in the bathroom. I only remember bringing them in.

Seinfeld did a whole episode on how gross it was to brings books into the bathroom.

Looks like it's still a thing...

You know that nobody under the age of 40 has ever ordered that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, definitely not. I'd say no one under 50 would even be a good bet, but I had to look and make sure this wasn't a Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia/Berenstein Bears type thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wait why the fuck are they gaslighting us about that cornucopia
