An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Last year I identified a workplace poop toilet for myself. It's in the next building over. It's a single toilet. A men's toilet. It's outside a large office in which only women work. So this toilet is always unused. Always clean. Always private. If I (rarely ever) need to poop at work, this is where I go.

Today I was on my way and a work acquaintance intercepted me. Every turn I took, he seemed to be going the same way and was telling me about his mother's fractured hip along the way. I had to walk twice as far beyond where I intended and finally shook him with a bogus excuse for needing to go to some unrelated department; and then had to check around corners while I double back.

I've made it though. Just wanted to update you all about this while I'm on the throne.

"Identified?" I think "claimed" would be a better word choice.

When walking with him you can always fake a phone notification, sigh, and then say "I'm sorry, I've got to address this. Have a great day!" Even better if you select a place with chairs nearby, and you sit down as you start reading/typing. It signals you're going to be there for awhile and disengaging with everything outside of the phone/laptop.

The most important thing is to keep that toilet location a secret.

Rarely? I tend to plan to shit at work so I get paid to do it and don't use any consumables I'd otherwise have to pay for.

Since getting a bidet at home, away games aren’t fun at all.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A water bottle and some elbow grease.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that to lube up your asshole before you insert the bottle?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t have to jam it with lube.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean are you trying to have fun or not?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A blown out o ring is no fun.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They make water bottles in all the shapes and sizes you don't have to go nalgene 54oz right off the bat but goals are always useful.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are portable bidets that are basically water containers with squirt nozzles. If not on hand, you can always use an empty water bottle. But yes, a proper bidet is still king.

[–] skip0110@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

One I upgraded to an extended bowl/extra tall, nothing else will do. Plenty of room in the front for my junk and the water level of way down there so no splash-back.

You just gotta plan properly:

Toilet Paper Foam Instant Wet Wipe 2 Pack – SquattyPotty https://www.squattypotty.com/products/toilet-paper-foam-instant-wet-wipe-2-pack

Never as good as home field advantage, but it makes away games enjoyable.

Pairs well with Enema Coffee 1lb

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The boss makes a dollar and I make a dime, that's why I shit on company time.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Strike, slack off, slow down, shit imperiously.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As appealing as that sounds, the awesomeness of having the Steam Deck for a top tier gaming poop at home can't be undervalued.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a work sp and cell phone for such times.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A work SP? A Gameboy SP for work??

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. Technically a backpack sp but they're effectively the same thing.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm very into that. What're you playing on it at the mo?

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Retroid Pocket 4 Pro has been one of the best purchases I've made this year. I would highly recommend that for emulation. Very compact and pocketable, easily comes to work and can emulate up to PS2/Wii/many Switch games/Android games.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is anything but dull! Thank you for the recommendation 👀

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you have the budget and want higher performance then go for the Retroid Pocket 5 or the Retroid Pocket Flip 2.

You can compare.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you 🙏

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a flash cart in it so usually a Pokemon or any number of random nes games.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sweet. Living the dream.

[–] kertain@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

Huzzah protect the secret

A poop delayed is a poop well made.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For the longest time, there were two tenants - both with an all-female staff - on a floor in my building. It was incredible.

Then the floor filled up and I'd be lying to say it wasn't part of my reason for going full time WFH.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The team I work with is 13 women, an other guy and me. There is zero bullshit to deal with, it's great. It does really put it in perspective. Every other workplace I was a part of, it always seemed to be other men that were hard to work with, never women.

Maybe I just got lucky but I'm going to attribute it to the gender ratio. Although the type of work might have something to do with it, the other places were more blue collar.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think it depends on the role/company. I've switched careers twice and my least favorite position was working with a ton of "business dudes" - but my second least favorite was working with a ton of older women. Nonstop gossip, I hated it!

[–] eldoom@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a coworker who does this all the time. Half the time i get rid of him by saying "Excuse me, I am about to violently shit my pants." And walk off. Sometimes not even in the direction of a bathroom.

Point is, everyone poops. They shouldn't care if you have to do an important bodily function and they certainly have no right to prevent you from pooping.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s keeping the secret of the glorious private pooper that is the problem here.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 17 points 1 month ago

Mostly this 👆

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Meanwhile I'm stuck in a men's room with stalls that have seams between the doors that are wide enough to push a finger through and they're open at the bottom for at least a foot. Everyone can just watch you sitting there taking a dump. I like my privacy in those moments.

Of course I won't sit on those things either as they're always pissed and shat under; people have a lot of trouble aiming, I guess. Or cleaning up after themselves

Half the time someone tried flushing down ten sheets of hand towels, which obviously doesn't work so just about every other day at least one of two stalls (that serve up to three floors) are stuck

This building sucks balls
