At the risk of raising some eyebrows, I need to make one more mention of pooping. Specifically, work-pooping.
The topic of work-pooping has been good to us here at LCiN (our Bathroom Discourse, parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, are our most linked-to posts, often by people googling "bathroom etiquette"), because there appears to be a growing interest in the phenomenon of pooping at work. The other day Maggie sent me an article on this very subject that appeared recently in Bust magazine. And you may have been lucky enough to receive the forwarded email outlining the various methods of dealing with workplace number 2s. ("Crop-dusting": When farting, walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from.)
I guess as more and more of people's lives are spent in offices, things like this are bound to become issues. We're not designed to be "professional" for long periods of time, using fake telephone voices all day and holding in our gasses. Pooping, apparently, has touched a nerve.
