1976_Child Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I have become aware that I need to take more care of how I spend my time. One place I tend to spend too much time is in the bog. On average I spend a good 15 minutes and I don't suffer from constipation. 15 minutes per day * 365 = almost 4 days a year sitting on the bog. This is appears to be a huge waste of time. Over the next 30 years that would mean a third of a year on the pan. Is my routine normal? How long do you take on the pan per day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I've never understood this; surely you just want to get in and get out as quickly as possible? Maximum of 5 mins for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I just get comfy and once I finished depositing I keep procrastinating about the wiping bit. Eventually my feet go numb and I know it is time to leave.

pap Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Between 10 and 20 minutes, as soon as I get up in the morning.

saintscottofthenortham Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I sit on the pooperhousen until my feet really really tingle. I know when they start to tingle, that my angry birds session is coming to an end but it's not until they feel like I have mice crawling on the inside of them do I actually think about the wiping. By which point, I can barely stand to wipe. I quite often talk to you guys whilst curling a log out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H. Cope Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Depends how good the article/book I'm reading. If I take the iPad I can be in there for at least 30mins, I like the solace it gives me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea_Saint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I break my pooing time into two parts in the mornings, need the first part as soon as I wake up which takes 2 minutes at most, then about half an hour later I'll have my second wind, again about 2 minutes, efficient pooing!!

Gigersaint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Apart from weekends my body clock usually means I always have to go at work, no matter how long I sit on the toilet for I know that I'm being paid for it. Over the course of the year and averaging around 15 minutes a time it adds up to 59 hours of pay, which is not too bad really for sitting on my ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Depends on What I've eaten. If I don't need to wipe then 5 mins max, if I've eaten liver or curry or hit the cider then 5 mins slide out time and 20 mins wiping until my arse bleeds or run out of paper then I go looking for a newspaper which isn't funny when your arse is dropping blobs.

Saint-scooby Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I have been enjoing myself on the loo recently, had some great poo's and been feeling really good after, but 5 mins is really long enough, unless I block it then it can take a while.

Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 My experience is extended slightly because my flush doesn't work, so I have to send a bucket of water down to chase all the Yule logs out the U bend.

Truesaint Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 I do mine at work and take plenty of time with reading material or iphone etc. A good 15 mins. If that works out at 4 days over the course of the year, thats nearly an extra weeks paid leave! Not forgetting, not having to pay for the water or bog paper either. This makes a good time investment and i guess you could say paid at time and turd, bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Depends on the type of poo. If it's a big, tough old log, then I'd spend more time on the bog but less time wiping. If it's one of those poos where your bum explodes and it sprays everywhere, then pooing time is minimal but wiping time is increased. Also, if I'm at home, i'll generally have a shower after, which adds 15 minutes on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK the 2nd Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 15 minutes on average. 15 ÷ 60minutes ÷ 24hours x 365days x 80years = 304 days of your life. If you spend 20 minutes its over a year of your life on the loo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until a couple of years ago when a mate in the pub asked the question "sit or stand to wipe" that I realised there was a choice! I've always been a "stander", as are 4 out of the 5 mates who answered the question (the only "sitter" was the mate who asked the question) How does "sitting to wipe" work?... Do you pop your hand between your legs or do you slide forward on the seat to allow access for the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I thought when I first discovered there were "sitters" out there! As for standing access, clasp the paper in one hand and a buttock in the other to provide adequate space to maouevre. For sitting, I would have thought either approach ("between the legs", "around the back" or even your suggestion of "in through the side") would obscure visibility of the "used paper" required to assess if the task is not yet complete? No such problems with the standing approach, which affords vivid, unobscured views of your handywork. Top thread BTW! Who says TSW is going downhill these days?! Certainly a candidate for "golden threads" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 23 July, 2011 Share Posted 23 July, 2011 Do 'Standers' need to have a back, sack and crack job done? Just a short closing of the cheeks prior to wiping causes awful wing nuts in my case, so definitely a sitter. Like many others, my favourite place is the bog and I spend a number of hours per day there, according to The Valkyrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draino76 Posted 23 July, 2011 Share Posted 23 July, 2011 Just leaving Mumbai. I love the water jet hose that was next to the pan. Really gives you a proper clean. After a couple of attempts, I was able to project the water in my ass into the bath which was over 2 meters away. So all in all, I would call this trip a success.

saint lard Posted 23 July, 2011 Share Posted 23 July, 2011 During July /August my toileting habits change dramatically. Usually one dump a day,and like clockwork 7.30am,in and out quick. My clipper muscle does it's job to perfection. However July/August i have a continual supply of cherry tomatos from the greenhouse,i therefore am not wasteful so copius amounts are consumed. The problem this causes can influence greatly the amount of turtles i deposit along with the consistancy. Sporadic visits to the khazi are common place and with very little warning given. I really have to concentrate when i do a trouser cough,so not too touch cloth/draw mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 I reserve 30 minutes every morning for a good clear out. It's regular as clockwork. Alarm sounds at 7.15, I'm on the toilet by 7.20. Without fail. Only downside is my need for a poo doesn't allow me a lie in at the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
