You have an issue with the toilet flushing where you have to get another person involved in any capacity but especially one where they have to see what the problem is aka your poop.

You have a need of a toilet and another receptive container at the same time.

These are not supposed to be all about toilets but here are some more

You have to use a public portaloo and the choices are bad.

You are using someone else’s toilet and they don’t have air freshener.

Maybe I should just keep going with the toilet thing?

You can’t find or access a toilet and you REALLY need a toilet.

You didn’t quite make it to the toilet in time.

Ok that must be it surely

A visitor in your home made a stench in the toilet that you are sure might kill someone but you have to act normal.

The water keeps rising when you absolutely do not want it to keep rising.

It just won’t flush

There is pee pee on the lid.

Or worse

You have been spewing for hours and are pretty sure you are going to die lying beside this toilet bowl with a cold washcloth on your head. Hopefully they don’t put that in your obit.

It was just a guff* but it sounded so much worse and now you have to move far away from everyone you have ever known.

Someone puts up a note in the bathroom stall at your workplace because some a’hole doesn’t flush. Everyone knows who it is. This person has no shame. You wonder how we ever got as far as we did as a species.

Thanks for reading! 🙂

Obviously worse is relative and none of these things are worse in scope/context than the current hellscape for many of us but cut a writer some slack today mmkay.

*British for fart, see you learn something new every day!
