^^^criminally underrated poster

other - isn't total silence actually more disturbing?

the continuous splash caused by diarrhea + the same guy laughing out loud at his own ass

^^^ heard this once

tbh i've unexpectedly let out ferocious burbling farts in public bathrooms before and had to suppress laughing or saying stuff like 'oh jesus what in the hell was THAT'

re: biblical margin ads: "Summon the strength of Samson without killing thyself in the gymnasium"

"look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
*sound of rubble falling into the toilet*

that'll be ozymandias' labia

and now exude the cumdrops of evermore

One is pretty vulnerable on the toilet so hearing the hiss of a venemous snake or the growl of a lion or the click of someone taking the safety off their gun would trouble me a lot more than flatulence and whatnot. Fortunately, very few large cats wander through the bathrooms I use. The gun-toting snakes are pretty easy to distract.

what about.....cougars ;)

ok guys i'm surprised none of you have said this yet........the snipping of scissors

*faints*

*POOPS*

I seriously just heard someone in the stall at work using toilet paper as if he was using a scouring pad on a skillet. It was very disturbing.

THIS.

This happened just this morning in the stall next to me. Vigorous, quick, repeated scratches! Maybe 12-15 distinct strokes.

What was the scratch he invented?

found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transform_(scratch)

would it have been more or less disturbing to have the bathroom scratching sync'd to a drum machine?

not a hearing, or a public restroom, but the other day I was at home sitting doing my business when I saw a spider slowly poke its legs out through a hole in the skirting board dead ahead of me, slowly wriggle its way out, then run full steam ahead towards me. I totally, uh, was very scared. Like what the fuck dude. I think it was some kind of metaphor.

Pretty sure I've told this somewhere on ILX before but I don't know where or how to find it but when I worked in England a bunch of us from the office went on a two day trip. The first night we proceeded to get very very drunk in the hotel bar and stories started coming out.

One by one each man present revealed that every day they heard another of our co-workers jerking off in the men's room. He would do this every day immediately after finishing the packed lunch his mother made for him. He was in his 40s. He also slept in the same bed as his mother which is a whole other issue. The day after we got back they were doing a cleaning and rearranging thing with our desks and I had to sit at someone else's for the morning. I was offered the choice of either the masturbator's desk or that belonging to the dude who looked/smelled like he hadn't showered in years. I took the latter. Yeah, we had some real winners in that office. This was, of course, the place where someone once took a shit in the middle of the floor of the men's room.

& so went your time working in the house of lords huh e

Yep, pretty much.

lol

I totally, uh, was very scared.

Well you were in the ideal place to crap yourself...

Man I hate it when you end up in synch with the person in the cubicle next to you. And then they walk out without washing their hands. And it's the person who sits next to you :/

i mean it took us until two days ago to get enbb to her rightful position

Taking her place on the throne, as it were...

The worst smells to hear coming from a bathroom stall in a public restroom

The worst smells to smell, obv

I can't stand shitting in stereo. It's an otherworldly experience. My turds smell bad enough on their own without having to get a whiff of my neighbor's anal cupcakes. It's a symphony I really don't want to conduct.

There was this one time this kid was farting absolute wet razor blades in the stall, obviously farts with 'substance'. He was also going "oh man" over and over again so I figured he had a bad case of the shits. Farts get louder and louder, as do his cries, but well ya know that's what stalls are for, right?

So I hear a flush, he leaves the stall....but the wet fart sounds CONTINUE as he leaves the bathroom. So like, did he just poop a little, decide that was enough, and hold the rest in?

Other- hearing a guy in the stall next to mine talking about cutting up someone/harming them in some other way, non-stop.

wtf

I know -I'm hoping it was just revenge-scenario fantasizing and that he didn't end up doing any of those things.

So I hear a flush, he leaves the stall....but the wet fart sounds CONTINUE as he leaves the bathroom.

at first I interpreted this as, "...but the wet fart sounds continued to emanate from the empty stall" & was about to agree with you that yes, disembodied demon sharts are truly the worst noises to hear coming from a bathroom stall in a public restroom.

your name being whispered

So as of this morning 'a jauntily-whistled tune' has unexpectedly become my answer to the question posed itt.

crying, self-berating panic attack in work jacks

heavy, labored breathing is the one that bothers me the most

keep thinking someone's going to keel over from a heart attack in the next stall

The tinny, muffled responses of someone who is tragically unaware that they're on the phone with someone who is presently defecating.

alternatively, the full volume responses of someone wearing a headset who is responding to a question on a conference call

people who can't help but emit orgasmic groans while shitting should be shot

Guy in my work used to sing hymns.

I once worked with a woman who used to moan softly. It was so bad we requested they pump music into the bathroom.
