I don't want anyone at all in the room while I'm brushing my teeth, but it's a big weird issue for me. It grosses me out beyond words when someone is brushing their teeth and thinks it's a cool idea to walk out of the bathroom and talk to me. (Seriously, one time on vacation, Tim's brother -- who didn't know about my issue -- walked out of the bathroom while he was brushing his teeth to have a whole-ass conversation, and I pretty much bolted from the room. Tim explained on my behalf, and I sheepishly apologized later, and Tim's brother apologized for grossing me out. It was all very civilized.) By the same measure, I have threatened Tim with bodily harm (more than once HOW DOES HE FORGET THIS) if he tries to start a damn conversation with me (or even just ask a question) while I'm brushing my teeth. It is disgusting, I am not going to fucking *talk* while I'm cleaning my teeth, and you can wait 2 goddamn minutes, try to remember after 13 fucking years, my dude.
Ahem. (And don't get me started about scenes in TV shows and movies where people are brushing their teeth. UNNECESSARY and revolting. No one needs to see that.)
Don't know where it came from, but it is a deeply visceral squick for me. Eauugggh.
THERE'S AN ICK FACTOR. Also gagging.
I completely agree, Tep.
I also don't need to see movie and TV scenes of people peeing. I'm familiar with the process. We puts doors on bathrooms for a reason.
I don't understand the number of TV shows that seem to require scenes of people vomiting ... one of those things I don't feel we need to see. Or even hear, but that's less disturbing.
That too, Toddson. I'm trying to think what show I just saw that in. Maybe the new season of Veronica Mars (not a plot point -- the vomiter was an extra in the background).
MPA honors program, summer semester (economics, statistics, and math before the fall semester starts), day 2: I'm very tired and would like a cup of tea now. And more hours to stare at the economics questions. I really love it for some reason, but I need more time than I have to figure it out.
It is, but NY is the first state to outright make it illegal.
It's been banned in a lot of Canadian Provinces, and in the UK and most? all? of Europe, so the US is behind on the trend.
so the US is behind on the trend.
What? The US? I'm shocked.

My mother also has no problem using the toilet while I'm in the room. I wouldn't say it happens often, but it has happened at least once since my own children were born, because I remember being somewhat aghast and hoping to god I don't do that to them when they're grown. (Currently, of course, they still want me to be in the bathroom with them whenever they are using it. We are working on the concept of privacy...)

Do you watch
Stranger Things?
There's a fairly lengthy vomiting scene in the third season that I could have happily done without.
Man, a coworker addressed an email to "T" meaning SOMEONE NOT ME and it's very confusing.
Timelies all!
We hired the cleaning people my MIL uses to clean our upstairs. (They had previously worked on the kitchen/dining room/living room area and the basement) Gary said they told him they would be there at 2:30, meaning they would be there when I got home with Mr. S, but they didn't arrive until 4. They still cleaned the upstairs thoroughly, but our dinner was delayed because they cleaned the kitchen afterwards, and were still at it when Gary got home. Yeah, I know it's a first-world problem, but it's annoying.

Surely you're not Capital T!
