My husband once told me that he was sorry that I wasn’t “gassy.” I didn’t think I was the only one.
I was actually thinking the same thing. I guess the reason I was so gassy was because I was on a trip and it was the first time I had drank any water since I took the trip.
I love my husband and he loves me and I am very grateful to him for all the things he puts into my life, but he has also put himself into my life. He is very aware of me, and he knows that he has been the reason I was unable to go to the bathroom the last two days. So he is trying to fix me.
Like most of the people I’ve talked to, I’ve been on a trip to the Bahamas, so no one had prepared me for the possibility that I would go for the first time and fail to flush. If I did fail to flush, I would be back in the United States within a few hours. Of course, I’d be pissed.
When people ask me what it feels like to go on a trip with only a single person, my answer is always, “I pee every time I cough.” If you’re going with only one person, you’re going to need to do it on a bathroom floor. I would have to go to a bathroom with two people to pee there, just to make it happen.
I’ve had the opportunity to go on trips with just one person before, and it’s not an easy one. When I was with just one person, I would take a shit, then go to the bathroom, and then come back to the room to take another shit. It’s not a big deal for me, but I can tell you that it was a major pain for the other person.
That’s why I don’t use the bathroom with two people. I’m not there for a little bit of privacy, I’m there to pee.
I’m not sure that there is much of a difference between a quick shit, and a long one. If you are on a long trip with only one person, you can take a shit in the morning and then go to the bathroom and then come back to the room and take a shit.
It’s probably not a big deal to me either. I can see a few people do it and then return to the room and take another shit after the fact. But for me I don’t have a problem in the morning. There is something about the long-distance peeing that makes it seem more like the bathroom is a place that I’m not supposed to be.
Although I do think it is weird when a person takes a shit in the toilet at the end of the night with no idea why he’s doing it, I just don’t find it that weird. If I was taking a shit with no intentions of returning to my room, it would probably be okay. And who knows, maybe someone has a weird theory about why I take a shit in the bathroom every time I cough.
