Hey. Curious. You ever #2 on a commercial flight?

A month ago I spent a week in Florida, working, but pigging out on some great seafood. On the trip home, there was no more waiting, something was gonna happen and I chose to use the restroom and not my pants. Yea, it is tight, and uncomfortable, but it is not that difficult.

Right, but if you could easily NOT have to do it on an airplane….

And fresh breathable air!

A buddy of mine was doing a solo cross country in a 182 when he got the bubble guts. With no close divert airports he made the executive decision to set the autopilot and use the only thing he had available for a toilet - his shirt. Long story when he met another friend at his destination airport.

I don't think I've ever seen the inside of a plane potty. I have walked back there to stretch. That's the only area where you can stand up and not be in an aisle that I know of. Been a long time since I was on a plane.

Try taking a dump into a little plastic bag on the side of Mount Rainier at -15f with a 70mph wind. Not fun...

Not a lot of veggie consumption in Japan. So no visit to the tiny room on my flight.

TMI. Sorry, but I need some oatmeal! Hahaha

I've been out on the jobsite all my life an only ever peed in a porta potty. When we camped in the 50's the outhouses in the camp cured me of going in there. If I can find anywhere else to pee but the plastic pit I will pee there be it a bush or dumpster.

Also one thing that really annoys me is guys arriving at a job site and having to use the thing right away when we need to get lined out and working. If there weren't laws I would have fired every one just for that. They'd be in there for 10 minutes. That's just poor planning. Get up an hour earlier. You can tell a lot about a man when that happens. Usually they aren't good workers.

I'd find a way to get rid of them eventually.

Why would you find yourself on the side of Mount Rainier at -15f with a 70mph wind?

Egads, man.

I think I’ve been on between 50 and 60 flights in the past 13 months. I’ve been to Europe and the UK 8 times, the southern US several times (not always on direct flights) this past year.

5hit happens.

[Crowbob]

I tried to. On the landing gear. But they dragged me off the tarmac kicking and screaming. I was quite upset myself but I didn’t kick nobody!

I had one or two of those.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...

You are the king of unusual thread starting, have at it!

Long flights home from India after eating street food. Yes. Yes I have.

When it's take-a-dump o'clock, I head for the nearest restroom. On a plane, it's always on the plane.

So relative to the original inquiry- yes. Most likely have. Can’t think of exact circumstance, but I’m pretty sure I’ve done it. I do try and avoid when at a customer office or facility.
But here’s my story -
I worked for the same employer for nearly 25 years. First go with them was for just under 15 years, and then I left for a different job - and came back for another 10.
My latest boss, a guy I’ve worked with for all of those 25 and more - is somewhat of an odd personality. Lots of examples of being a not so stellar boss, exec, leader or executive team member.
We had regular “sales meetings”. I think would hit the local bar at the end of the day. The leader and his minions. Not entirely optional to go. He often reminds us (shamed us for) that he NEVER $#!ts at work. Like it’s some personal weakness if you happen to need to do that there. Only one example of living and working with a first class A-hole. Meanwhile, one of the executive team probably spends (conservatively) over an hour a day in the can. If he isn’t in his office - chances are he’s taking a deuce.
Needless to say, mister no-poop canned me earlier this year (not for that), and it’s been lovely not needing to put up with the shyte he consistently dealt. All, while boasting that “in my career, I think I’ve ceapped at work twice - and both times, it was because I was sick. And I went home immediately to clean up”.

Good riddance.
I work with normal people now.

What an odd topic to discuss. I've spent many a weed-fueled session contemplating meaningless things but this really reeks of hitting the bottom of the well, conversationally speaking. Have we run out of things to talk about here?
