No joke: Your partner’s stinky farts may save your life!

Everyone farts.

And everyone tries very hard to prevent farting in public.  That’s a lot of pent-up gas.

So why the pressure to not break wind in front of others?  Is it society politeness? Is it embarrassment of being labeled a Stink-a-roo?  Being stuck in an elevator with a foul odor for an extended period of time?

How to unclog a toilet while on a date

Plunging a clogged toilet is never fun.

Forget all the hassle of having to ask your date if they have a plunger in their apartment. What do you do with the plunger when you’re done?  You can’t hand it back to them before you head out for your intimate dinner reservation?  Not on a first date, at least.  That’s more a 4th or 5th date.

Do you have a pooping playlist? For some people, it’s a requirement

You’ve heard about “pee shyness”, the inability for some people to pee in public.  This tends to hit men more than women, but it is a real issue nonetheless.

And because Web Watch is all about educating you on new terms and phrases – the medical term for this is “paruresis“.

Video Fun: Please don’t poop outside – take the poo to the loo!

This video is from Unicef India.

The message they’re trying to convey is that you should TAKE YOUR POO TO THE LOO and not poop outside in the street, potentially contaminating the city’s water supply and making all your friends sick.

Peeing in the Pool can Kill You

We know you’ve done it at least once – everyone has pee’d in the pool at least once in their life.

Of course, this is more expected with children and others who have less control of their bathroom habits, but we’re sure that there are one or a dozen adults out there who have peed in the pool – on purpose – on some drunken night.

Heck, we’re fairly certain we saw one of the contestants on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette pee in the hot tub on an episode.  We definitely remember seeing it happen in MTV’s The Real World hot tub, as well as on CBS’s Big Brother.  And Michael Phelps did say that “all Olympic swimmers pee in the pool… all the time!”

If an Olympic athlete will pee in the pool, then how bad could it be for the rest of us?

Where to Pee during Mardis Gras

If you’ve ever been to Mardis Gras – or any large scale drinking festival – then you know how hard it is to find a place to use the bathroom

Web Watch remembers one large festival with lines 30 minutes long for the porta-potties.  Men were bypassing the relative privacy of the portajohns and were using the tree and weed-lined fence to take care of business.

We overheard a potentially horrible situation when one man apparently dropped his keys into the muck.  His buddy shouted over, “dude – just leave ’em”.  It’s stories like this that make you want to know…. the rest of the story.
