Eating, yes EATING in the bathroom.
 

I experienced something recently that I found so bizzare a concept that I just have to pass it on. I'm in the men's room, doing my business so to speak when I hear a familiar sound from the stall next to me. (No not THAT sound!) I hear the unmistakable sound of a hand reaching into and rummaging around in a bag of chips. I think, no, it can't be. Perhaps its just a newspaper or something and my imagination has....but no, just then I hear the unmistakable sound of potato chips being munched. Some nutter is eating and evacuating at the same time! WTF! I left before they emerged so never saw the culprit. Then the other day I saw a woman leaving the ladies room with an open tub of potato salad. Don't know if she ate in there or what her business may have been but an OPEN tub of potato salad? What sort of mad bizzaro world do I live in? Anyone else experience something like this? Am I nuts or is that just wrong?

I once ate a sammich while taking care of my business. And yes, I've done worse things while eating. Don't see what the big deal is.

Eating in the john? Seems a little unhygenic to me... kinda icky even.

Reading, yes, absolutely... but eating? Are they that busy?

Though I have seen people in airports, WOMEN, talking on their cell phone while peeing -- and flushing - and I know they didn't mute the phone.

Thank God I have never witnessed such a disgusting act. Why anyone would eat in the god damn bathroom (a public bathroom for that matter) is completely beyond me.......absolutely sick. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in peoples heads.

The other day I went to the bathroom at my work (which is located outside because we are in a office) and some guy was at the urinal with his pants and underwear FULLY DOWN!!! taking a piss.....he didn't give a damn that someone might walk in and see his bare ass at the urinal. I wanted to use the bathroom but decided to just wash my hands and leave to to the downstairs bathroom....some people are just strange.

Ahaha, I see nothing wrong with it at all. Killing two birds with one stone.
I brush my teeth on the can, and I even play bass on it too. You can't go wrong.

I bring my drink into the restroom if im at a party or something. I don't drink it, but its there.

A little OT: Has anyone noticed that guys always stare down at their dicks when they're taking a piss at a urinal?

Not always. It's either down, up or sometimes straight ahead (especially if there's wall adds or something - and yes, I know it is obvious). But what else you gonna do? Looking at the guy next to you (or his wang) is pretty uncool with everyone I know. :o

I was at work once and saw a guy drinking a soda while peeing. Probably could have cut to the chase and just poured the drink into the urinal. :D

At bars and such it's not uncommon to bring your drink in with you to void...but eating chips while pooping? Kind of gross to me at least. To me my hands are dirty once I'm in the bathroom until I wash on the way out, I'd rather not be using them to put things in my mouth...

people can't wait even a few minutes because they are "hungry"

I can see it for diabetics and a few other medical conditions... but other than that... disgusting.

My gawd! Absolutely bizarre.

I googled to find the article that I read about a year ago that said under certain circumstances, bacteria from the bowl can become airborne and even land metres (I mean yards) away. I could not find it to quote it properly, but I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, for the sake of your health, DO NOT eat while you are defecating, it could mean e-coli poisoning, which is not pleasant.

Go ahead and play base, read, talk on the phone (eww!), do whatever you want, just don't put anything into your mouth until you've WASHED YOUR HANDS.

A bag of chips? Eww...

Peace,

Pierre

eating while taking a dump is indeed a bizzare concept. not sure how one concentrates on one act or the other?!

lol. funny story indeed!

if i'm at a party and i'm fully blind. i'll take my drink with me... i'll even drink it!

ref OT: i always like reading the bathroom grafiti when im in a public loo... some of it is pretty amusing! :lol:

If you think that's bad, you should see what I saw a guy do in the potato chip aisle at the grocery store.

Oh I've seen this shit. One day I was in the restroom at the urinal when I hear some commotion going on over towards the stalls. I looked over and from under the bottom of the stall door I could see an Igloo cooler and a hand reaching in and pulling out a sandwich. I made a point in waiting outside after I was done just to see who the fuck would want to have action on both ends of their digestive tract at the same time and the guy that came out didn't surprise me any. And for what it is worth, I've seen the same fucker headed back to the shitter with his igloo several time since that one. And as you can guess, the damn fool doesn't wash his hands afterwards either.

The first thing I reach for in the head is the FLUSH chain when some dipstick comes in there on the phone or has the nerve to answer a call while in the arena. The noise and the subsequent reaction is usually worth a chuckle.

I'd never eat while in there. Get in, get busy, finish and get out.

a little? more than little...when you flush...things get...stirred and debris scatters.

I've been known to take my coffee with me at work....if I've just fixed it....but Im the only female so Im the only one using my bathroom and it saves me from backtracking...but I set it on the counter I dont take it in the stall :lol:

oh....and I talk on my cell phone in the bathroom too, I didnt know there was anything wrong with that :crazy:

guess it's sort of irrelevant that he doesn't wash his hands afterwards, considering he makes a conscious effort to lug an igloo in with him to a bathroom!
now that i think about it, i'm not sure which part is scarier!

You sure he was shitting in there and not simply eating in the stall? I can see how he might have just been eating and wanted to be alone for some reason.

Hah yeah. I've taken a dump while on the phone. My friend would have been so impressed if he knew. :D
I don't think it's a good idea to eat on the john though, what with the risk of E.Coli and all that. Plus it's just nastah.

aren't there other places to be alone other than the stall of a bathroom?!?!?!?!?

As I do not work at the location in question, I have no idea.

By the smell, I'd say he needed left alone alright. And there are plenty of empy tables in the break rooms and areas that one can be alone at.

sorry, wasn't trying to be rude.
i just figured if you wanted to be alone, you'd go to your car, your desk, the corner of the building, somewhere other than the stall to eat. :shrug:

I've been on the phone with a friend while he was taking a piss. "Dude, what are you doing?" "taking a piss" "ugh. call me back when you're done"

Umm........ hmm.... this is akward, what can i say, i was in there for like a half and hour and had the munchies. And Rdr4evr, sorry about that too. I enjoy showing my bare ass. No, im just kidding, that is indeed very disgusting, why someone would do it, i dunno.

This is funny because for some reason my boss has recently started putting food in the bathroom for employees to snack on. I think it is disgusting and I don't understand it.

One of the "feminine hygiene" product companies is now making a product that comes with a quiet wrapper, so that when you are in a restroom, that telltale sound isn't heard.. It's quiet... (Now, I swear, i wasn't aware that this was a problem) However, maybe the snackfood manufacturers could take a lesson from the feminine hygiene product makers and make a "silent wrapper" for Twinkies... There might be a whole bathroom snackfood market that has just not been tapped.

//off to call the patent office//
//is truly insane, why do you ask?//

As a few people have previously said, I too will bring a drink with me to the bathroom at a party. I have also been called from a bathroom, though it was more of a "Holy shit, theres a phone in the bathroom" call than anything else.

Yes, thats right, I was in a hotel that had telephones in the bathroom.

well, I might as well admit it: I eat while shitting or pissing, too.

I don't quite see the big hubabaloo about it. As far as I'm concerned, the dirtiest thing is the faucet I touch to wash my hands afterward (I kick the flusher).

The way people are describing flying shit particles, I'm left wondering if you people are taking full body showers afterward. Otherwise, how do you stand all those particles all over your head, face, and clothes?

I've read those things too. I also read that you should wash your hands before your business, not after. My dick is pretty clean, my hands throughout the day less so, so that makes sense to me.

But anyway, it's not like I'm sticking my finger in my ass. And if I do happen to slip, I don't go sticking my shitty finger in my bag of chips! E. Coli is only dangerous if it's someone else's, BTW. Go ahead and eat poop particles--as long as they're your own! :D

It's not for me, eating while shitting.

Now typing while shitting... That's another matter.

Hoooray for wireless internet!

*flush*

I wouldn't want any food of any kind (except gum that would remain safely IN my purse) to accompany me to a public restroom. I don't personally believe that more than half the people (if that) actually wash their hands after using the bathroom. My grandma was on the obsessive side and would always grab one last papertowel to open the bathroom door when leaving. I may not do that but I can't help cringing and using the pinky of my LEFT hand to open the door. Maybe I'm wierd too.

On the other hand - at home. I have eaten a bite or two or taken an drink while on there. I find it hard to find a moment of peace without kids hovering near. Getting to have ONE bit of food without them watching or even begging for it is worth it over the grodieness of the act. That said I've only done it a couple times. I HAVE frequently taken medication while on the stoold. Mostly just at nighttime when it's one of those times and I don't want to be out of bed any longer than absolutely necessary cause I feel miserable.

or even to the movie people...

i couldn\'t do that either. it\'s not necessary unhygenic if one does it carefully, yet it surely is unappetizing.

I used to have a roommate that was known to leave the bathroom door open while taking a shit, with a KFC Drumstick in one hand and an ice cold beer in the other. He though he was in heaven.

I read a lot in the bathroom. Reading I have absolutely no problem with.

Eat? Never.
For some reason that just crosses some unseen line I've drawn. When I was a smoker, I wouldn't smoke while using the bathroom. I won't even chew gum when I shit. I just have no desire to make myself do these things while I'm on the toilet.

A good friend of mine had a brother who after school everyday about 4:00 would come home make a bologna sandwich and go take a dump. Everyday. Like clockwork. A McPherson special - Sandwich and a Shit. He'd leave the bathroom door open sometimes too, but only to yell for another sandwich.

It was both funny and disgusting.

As I sat on the throne one day I realized that I was in the process of eating a banana when the urge struck.

Yep - I finished it before it left. It was a pretty odd experience.

Since most of the human sense of taste has to do with the sense of smell, I can only imagine what that bag of chips might taste like while a big steamy load of slips out of your cornhole. A Baby Ruth bar, perhaps?

I guess some people like the taste of their own $hit?

I do not shit and eat together.

Sorry. Not going to happen.

Seeing as my opinion is my own, I'm going to think you're one nasty fuck if I see you take food in the bathroom. I will treat you from that day foreward LIKE as nasty, dirty, uncivilized human. Yes, my image of you will change. To me, you will become someone who does not understand what a civilized human being is. You will be nasty, and dirty to me always.

I can see, a drink, being taken into a bathroom, and set on a counter. I don't think it's the best idea, and I'd avoid it myself. But, I can see it. Hopefully, it'd be a bottle w/a cap on it...

I can't see eating in a bathroom. Period. Some things are disgusting. For me, that's damn sure one of them.

I agree.

Food and a bathroom should not mix.. It's just disgusting to think about eating food that's been a bathroom environment all day, every day.

At the risk of being known as a VERY DISGUSTING HUMAN (but I guess it is okay considering no one here knows me in real life) I was eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes on the toilet... you know, like, late for work or something, you gotta do some multitasking (oh, and NEVER in a public restroom, I try not to breathe in those). But I had a mouthfull of flakes when I sneezed out of nowhere, causing Frosted Flake chunks to stick against the outside of my bathtub. Not exactly an image you'd see painted on the Sistine Chapel.

Now be glad you got to read this before I delete it out of shame.

it took me like 3 hrs to fully read this thread, distractions & life yknow, but anyway GAHHHHHHH who eats in a public place where people do their, um, depositing????

GAHHHHHH

i mean i hate to even touch anything in a public bathroom without using my foot or a towel. the door handles are the ickiest depository of bacteria ever. you wash your hands only to open a door after a person who just wiped their ass & didn't wash their hands? NO! use a towel.

and for gawds sakes, don't eat where you shit. geeze.....

oh shit, I should amend my earlier statement: I don't ever eat in public restrooms. Just my own house if I feel the need to.

this bothers me, like as a chef.. its one thing to eat with your fingers and whatever..

but in the bathroom

do you know whats in the AIR in the lavatory?!

I was at a urinal at a bar once and got a phone call, I decided to be daring and answered it (with people in the bathroom at the time) and it was someone offering me a job. I got the job too :)

Yup, definitely a bad one. Dirty, just dirty. The hygiene issues alone are enough to sicken me. Wait til you're done, wash your hands then eat whatever you want.

Uncovered food and drink in a bathroom? No way. Not me.

Cows don't pause either, they lift there tails do the shizit and keep on chewing.
Horses lift there heads and tails up take a moment and do the deed. So what does this say?..... Not a damm thing the guy was just hungry and wants to let you know he's not sharing those chips with anyone!

Never at work or public places, but I've had mouthfulls and walked in to vacate, and kept on chewing. Don't think I could purposely take food of any type in with me. Hard enough to read and take care of business, let alone try to eat.

This made me laugh pretty good :lol:
LOL! I'm sorry to have to resort to annoying acroynms, but LOL! :lol:
God damn it! :lol: :lol: Oh the mental pictures that these stories paint ::clutches his moogle-ish sides as he laughs::
Well, I have a few problems with the idea of eating while taking a dump. First of all, doesn't your shit smell? The smell alone would keep me from eating in the bathroom to begin with, if I ever had the insane notion to do so. My second issue is the freaking noises it makes as it comes out. I don't want to hear that while I'm eating... seriously.

I find it interesting that you even know about e. coli and that it is only harmful if it is not your own. I still would not eat my own shit, though. And I always put the toilet seat down after I'm done, because according to the Myth Busters, shit particles fly out of the toilet and land on your toothbrush even after you flush.

HAHHAHAHA that's hilarious!!!! And disgusting. What the hell kind of food is it, and do people actually munch on that shit when they've got some time to kill while dropping anchor?

Spoiler: Right now I'm at home and I'm NOT on the can with my wireless laptop finishing my pizza and drinking beer. Really.

I always walk into public bathrooms and start talking to the dude next to me at the urinals, makes for a good icebreakers also if you just walk up and slightly put the palm of your hand on their lower back. :thumbsup:

I just cant do it, my mom is/was a PA and now shes back to being a medical technologist... so shes ALWAYS been all over me about GERMS..

that soooooo gross man.. Im always washing my hands...Im surprised I havent washed them away or something.

Anybody remember a movie called "What about Bob" starring Bill Murray?

That's me. So suffice to say there is would be an especially cold day in hell before I would eat and crap at the same time. I flip when I see people taking a whiz and not washing their hands. The worst thing I've seen was a guy bring in a coffee cup sit it on the shelf in the bathroom and took a whiz. If I saw somebody eating and using the restroom...**Shudder** I think I might vomit.

Taking food into a restroom or bathroom is definitely one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard in my entire life. That seriously wants to make me gag. Bleh...

I very often take a cup of coffee into the bathroom with me on Sunday mornings while I read the paper. Never thought much about it though.

I witnessed something pretty weird two weeks ago though...
I was taking a leak in a roadside mini-mart and there was some guy brushing his teeth at the sink. I heard something hit the floor and sure enough, it was his toothbrush. He picked it up, rinsed it off, and commenced brushing again. I almost puked on my shoes!

I've left pocket combs on restroom floors before when I've dropped them. I wouldn't wash and re-use a comb let alone a toothbrush!

^that is just...well, stoopid.

I personally would NEVER eat and tend to my biz' at the same time. I've won't even take packaged food into the restroom and sit it on the counter while I do my thing. Just the thought of my food being anywhere near the restroom turns my stomach. I've seen the messes left in my company's RR. I don't even want to go in there when I have to, much less take my food with me.

My boyfriend thinks that eating in the bathroom is disgusting also. But say your like me and it takes a long time to get dressed/do my make up. I will drink a pop while putting on my make up or have my moring bite to eat in there.

same here qtpye I have my juice every morning while "putting on my face"

So who's up for a couple of shit sandwiches? ^^

Okay, I've been thinking about this way too much, BUTT...

Maybe this guy was constipated and was munching on some of those chips made with Olestra to soften his stool? :D

Purposely inducing anal leakage? :hmm:

Sometimes I eat and drink while putting my makeup on in the bathroom, too, but that's MY bathroom in MY house and I'm not taking a shit while doing it! That's nasty.

Since reading that link, I may have to discontinue my habit of bringing drinks in to the bathroom with me. I don't drink them, just set them on the counter or something, but that flush "aerosol" has totally grossed me out now!

Eating a bag of chips in the bathroom isn't so bad.

Many years ago, at boy scout camp, one of the younger kids was dared to take a shit in a hotdog bun, then eat it.

Being the crusty little mutant he was (and apparantly desparate for attention as well), he did it. Took a big old bite of that turd sandwich. He even opened his mouth to prove he bit shit, and not just bun.

To this day I get disgusted by it. The memory of the smell of his breath alone, which was smellable by anyone in a 50 foot radius, is enough to make me a little nauceous.


Oh, and in case you were wondering, he said that it tasted "like Play-dough." Apparantly the kid did his share of clay eating too.

Ewwww...nasty! The idea of eating in a bathroom while doing your business is just nasty! *shudders* I dont even like putting my backpack on the floor of the public bathrooms at my university! God knows when that floor was last cleaned, and especially since university bathrooms seem to be so damn unsanitary all the time, all I wanna do is get in, do my business, wash my hands, and get the fuck out!
I am taking a chemistry course and we dont use latex gloves a whole lot like biology, but my gosh imagine fiddling around with a few chemicals in a lab and then going to the bathroom without washing your hands! Thats a little....risky. Chemists rule of thumb: wash your hands before and after doing your biz! :thumbsup:

I've definatley contemplated eating and drinking in the bathroom many times. Never followed through on it though. I think I will though...next time.

An old house mate of mine used to take a bowl of cereal into the crapper in the morning while doing his business before work. He said it was to save time and said he doesn't see anything wrong with it. Fair to say I was waiting for him to take a full english breakfast in there one day, but it never happened. That way he could've just thrown the sausages straight in the pan, and presto, saved himself a shit/cereal fest for the next morning.

As I always have my mobile phone on me, I take calls on the bog if I know who it is, they generally ask what all the noise is when I flush!

I think eating on the shitter is disgusting, however I have continued to eat, drink, smoke (at different times obviously) while getting head

I also smoke while having a turd, helps relax it out

As soon as my ass touches that ceramic lid, I'm on a mission. When I go to the bathroom I don't fuck around. I don't read, I don't eat, I just take the shit as fast as possible and am done with it.

If you touched me on the lower back while I was taking a piss, I promise that I would be punching you in the face once I was finished. :thumbsup:

That would totally rule.

if people eat in the toilet,do they shit in the kitchen. There are different rooms for obvious reasons

Grandpa called it "Feedin' the Devil"

I've eaten at fast food restaurants that were less hygenic than my bathroom. Odds are, if you've eaten out any number of times, you've eaten someone else's shit particles. Anyone whose worked in the foodservince industry could tell you that. I'm more paranoid about eating after i touch cash than eating after/while i take a shit.

Classic. :thumbsup:

After seeing a stripper for the first time last weekend, I can say I totally agree with you. Basically (if anyone doesn't quite understand), some of those dollar bills in your wallet or purse may have been up and down some dirty stripper's ass crack. Or, worse, their STD-infected genitals.

Yeah, now eating on the toilet doesn't sound so bad...

You must have been to a bad strip joint by the sound of it.

Eating in the shitter? No way! How many of you have done lines of coke or speed in the toilets at a nightclub? I've done plenty.

The problem is not eating in the shitter; the problem is eating while shitting.

The bathroom IS a mission, there is to be no talking, no eating, no anything that could compromise the mission. Get in get out, be silent, and draw no attention. Wash your hands; use the paper towel to open the door. If someone tries to talk to you, respond “Your compromising the mission!!” or, to keep things fresh, shout “abort!” and run for the door.

i've held my cat while taking a leak... maybe had a lolli-pop in my mouth as i went..... but never any food that required touching or anything...


if you can't wait 5 mins to eat... your either fat or really reallly really hungry

and for cell-phones... its proper mannors not to talk on the cell phone in bathrooms, elevators, or enclosed areas with other people around
