I can’t get paid for shitting on company time since I never really need to shit at work, but I’ll be damned if I don’t kill the same amount of time while on the clock. Thank god restroom breaks are mandated by OSHA and they don’t count toward our normal 10 minute paid breaks. Over the course of an 8 hour shift, I try to spend at least 30 minutes total in the restroom.
You have no idea. I take a toilet break at least once every two hours, sometimes more, and I’m not quick about it. It could easily be an hour a day.
For once I don’t even hate my job and I’m not even really trying to steal time away. It’s just a convenient excuse to get up, stretch and refresh a bit. I do it at the end of a task or goal and I need to start planning the next section of work so the mental reset is really useful. Honestly, it probably makes me more productive than if I just stayed at my desk.
Nobody is going to complain, my work gets done and it gets done fast. If anyone questions it I’ll just say I have IBS or something and it’ll come under TMI.

Never thought about it like this but I pretty much do it too. Very helpful.

Yeah, same. It’s also the one place at the office where no co-worker is for sure not going to bother me.
they call it a restroom for a reason
I unplugged the phone and napped on the floor for an hour today at work.

Rookie numbers! Get in there, pop a squat, and listen to half an album before coming back out. I want those bathroom breaks to be at least 20 minutes each soldier!
Im here right now
Absolutely. At a previous job I took naps on the toilet and coworkers knew to find me there when management was looking for me.
At my current job, easily an hour a day in the bathroom split up 15-20min a time.
My job is generally unsupervised so I spend a great deal of time reading stuff. Usually it’s some gay shit, (❤) but I try to read theory when I can focus.
Oh yeah. I spent so much time on the toilet playing Legend of the River King at my old job.
JRPGs through an emulator on your phone make the time fly
Oh yeah, I usually take a bathroom break before my hour lunch and then well you gotta use the bathroom after eating all that food.
And then a couple 15 minutes here and there, because I can’t just start reading an article, gotta finish it in one sitting. My coworkers are so bad at the job that I still get more done than them and I’m working two hours less.
I did at my last in-person office job, but then as I was leaving an ass of a coworker made a subtle joke about my bowel health and the entire office laughed.
I felt better about leaving after that.
I wouldn’t even if I could because customers trash them. I don’t want what it is about public restrooms that turns people into piss goblins but it’s probably not having to clean up after themselves / entitled
I’m so glad that I no longer have any responsibility to oversee a public bathroom. Americans are fucking vile
I am so very thankful it’s the cashiers job (possibly problematic side note: they basically only hire teenagers for that role, so hopefully this instills the virtue of not fucking up pibloc spaces in them. Conscription bad, but experiencing retail changes a person. They’ll be better people for knowing the consequences of fucking up a place another person has to clean).
Last week somebody shat on BOTH seats within The one I use (the “men’s” room” and side note an asshole that has to work here because it’s every god damn day posses on the floor I. Front of the urinal. My shoes reek now no matter how much I wash them cuz this piece of detritus masquerading as a human pisses on the floor in front of it and nobody can use it without stepping in it)
I’m against punitive punishment that does nothing to fix a person, but fuck kt . Wall for the floor pissers.
Nah, I’m slow enough as a worker and its a small enough team to be obvious.
i spent some much time shitting at work that i got hemmaroids
