Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

Nurses General Nursing

Updated:   Published

As in, there are two employee restrooms, and the boss has requested that if you're going to poop, you should use the restroom in the "dirty utility area" because of odor. And if you DO poop in the non-poop bathroom, you'll be "talked to."

Asking for a friend.

I actually poop Poo-pouri. No devils donuts here!!!

You haven't smelled my daughter's poop. I wish I had known about that stuff before my daughter went on a week long trip to Washington D.C. in high school. She might have had more friends.

I'd take a nice fat dump on the boss's desk. Is this a joke?

That would be rude. You gotta do it in a desk drawer

I'm a little surprised everyone didn't have to study the classic text while in nursing school.

I need to poop

I got my first hospital job in 1984 working as a psych LPN as the result of a patient upset because he needed to poop.

I was an LPN nursing student in 1983 doing clinicals on the medical floor at Weed Rover Township Hospital when an over bed table came flying out of a room into the hallway. I quickly went into the room and came from behind a mentally ill patient who I knew was from the Anomaly Mental Health Center, going after a nurse backed into a corner with a very frightened look on her face.

After this event was over, I learned that the patient was upset and going after the nurse because he hadn't pooped that day. He believed he needed to poop every day.

I put the patient in a hold until security could arrive and take over. The chief of security was so impressed by my act that he suggested to the DON that I be hired for the new psych wing which was scheduled to open the next Spring.

Thus began my career in psych nursing.

However, there is some background information I need to impart: At the time I subdued the patient, I was unaware of the fact that the patient was both deaf and blind.

One coworker summarized my heroic act as: "Basically you got a job at the hospital because you came up from behind a deaf and blind mentally ill patient and took him down?"

Well, if you put it that way...

Yeah! And odors are one of the ways we can recall precious memories.

Why, now that I'm an old dude (but not THE Old Dude) and I smell my poop, it smells just like my Dad's poop did when he was an old dude. A nurse colleague identified the odor for me, calling it "old man poop".

And what about the smell of poop conjuring up romantic memories?

What about that?
