    Reminds me of the guy that spent his entire life sitting on the toilet with the seat up because he was told “girls use it with the seat down and boys have the seat up”.

    It wasn’t until he got comfortable enough with his partner that when she saw him and asked why he wasn’t sitting on the seat did it even occur to him that he could.

      Unless it’s your kink, most people don’t use the toilet in front of their spouse.

      Edit: It sounds like a lot of straight people expel waste in front of their partners.

        That doesn’t match my personal experience at all.

        Using the toilet with each other present has been a thing in every relationship I’ve been in. And no, at no point was that a kink of either one of us.

          Same. I know of no couple in my circle where using the toilet in each others presence is anything else but just plain normal. They all do it.

          Edited for clarification, because words = hard

    So, one day I’m hanging out with my friend, and he introduces me to his friend. Middle-aged guy, seems pretty nice, but he’s having a shit day. Why? Because he had to copy something from an email, and he spent about an hour, flipping back and forth between two windows, copying the email into a Word document or something. I was dumbfounded, and I said “Why didn’t you just copy-paste?” The guy stalks off with his head down, muttering under his breath.

      My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.

    Has anyone here ever taken a cold shower on purpose? It’s quite invigorating once one acclimate.

      Only time I intentionally took a cold shower was after a long bike ride, wearing formal clothing, in the middle of summer. It was freeing and very cold.
