I've noticed some people take 30+ minutes to finish in the dunny where as it take me 5 mins max.
Is it crappy of someone to spend more than 5 minutes?

my partner hogs the toilet and poops for anywhere between 30mins to 1+hrs EVERY DAY, probably on average in there for 1hr. His stomach is sensitive and practically the only thing that doesn't upset it is fast and junk food. He's lactose intolerant also but even if we don't have any, the toilet trip is just as long. He bloats up like crazy after every meal (think: gorilla stomach) and has to sit on the toilet to fart it all out or something. Is a fit and lean guy, gym 3 times a week, drinks a decent amount of water, we try to eat enough vegetables etc, and have spoken to the doctors but they haven't picked up anything abnormal, and no other health issues as far as we are aware. I've bought him IBS meds before but he refused to eat them and they went to waste, but recently finally got him to take metamucil/psyllium husk to solidify the shit (usually pretty sludgy?) and make it easier… It may have helped about 10% but still haven't been able to get down to the core of the issue!
He literally goes through an entire roll of toilet paper in one sitting because "it never ends" and little bits come out over a long period of time and he has to keep on wiping. I told him he could just wipe..only at the very end when he's done? - but he refused. Might be a slight OCD thing. He also takes his phone in and watches videos/listens to podcasts, and I suggested he doesn't do that and just try focus on the shitting, but "nooo, that doesn't help, you don't understand". We only have one bathroom, though now he will always ask me if I need to go before he embarks on his arduous mission, but I've had to resort to the shower and bathtub and plain holding it in, sigh.
Probably all TMI haha, but it affects our daily life a bit and I'm at my wits end on how to try help him….
'His stomach is sensitive and practically the only thing that doesn't upset it is fast and junk food'
hmm - I don't see any problem there … ;-)
He needs the endoscope. Could be celiac or worse.
Gift him a Reno?
Im reading up on the symptoms and it does mostly sound like him! although he says he is completely fine with bread, so I guess it's not exactly it. Should go get him to take some blood n allergy tests i guess
I was quite similar. IBS like symptoms every day and I found that unhealthy food lowered the severity, while a more high fibre diet made things just so much worse.
In my case they found a tumour secreting excessive serotonin and that's the reason for it. I'm not saying your partner has a tumour, but there's certainly a long list of reasons as to why it could be happening. A blood test only shows so much so an endoscope (throat or rear) is the best way.
Depending on where you live there could be a waiting list (particularly in the public system) so the sooner you get a referral from a GP the better.
have you considered installing a bidet? For me, I have a manual sprayer at home. In your case, you might want to invest in a better one.
Sometimes I find that, the one little bit that won't come out and is stuck in between the cheeks will be loosened when a little bit of "lubricant", i.e. water is applied. This also means I only wipe at the very end.
Mate you could have stopped at 'have you considered a bidet'
When we buy a house, definitely will install one!! Any particular brand you know of or could recommend? I've seen the deals here for the Mi and whale spout kinds but they seem very 'novelty' (?) and probably some old school legit japanese/chinese one would be better?
I don't have a brand recommendation but personally won't go for the whale spout kinds. I've noticed there's some that even does drying.
Go big or go home, I guess.
Escapism.
If people are taking over 10min to do a poo (or even 1/2 hour or more as above), they are going to the toilet to escape from something.
No one willingly goes into a stinky toilet room and sits in there for that long.
They take a device in with them (disgustingly bad hygiene) or a magazine (even worse because now you're sharing your germs with others), and sit in there to escape either their wife, or kids, or boss, or work altogether.
If you have to withdraw from whatever is going on around you by hiding in a toilet, you need to sort out those issues because you aren't fooling anyone.5min tops. If you are taking longer you are either tossing off or running away.
Our toilets are not stinky (most of the time). Very clean in fact.
Also you can courtesy flush for yourself as well as others 😂

Tell that to my tumours. The alternative is much worse.
Depends on how many Horizon Chase races or Dream League football games I play. Or whether Wordle is a tricky one.
I used to read magazines in the toilet - now the guy is watching movies in the toilet - that explains 90 minutes
where he prefers to spend his time may also suggest who he prefers to spend time with - himself … ?
"Is it crappy of someone to spend more than 5 minutes?"
Depends on the context, at work or at home? Only 1 or multiple toilets in the home if not at work?
Generally speaking I think most people can be done in under 5 mins if nothing else is going on. If I am having a non stop day at work I won't apologise for taking 10 mins though 30 is excessive.
Depends how interesting the ozbargain forum posts are
with or without my phone?
I’m sure ol’ JV has a ridiculous/stupid contribution to make here?
The question should be why people don't use water on their ass! You try cleaning your greasy hands after a maccas meal with only paper…..
around 10mins atm, but aiming for under 5 with some rubber bands on the old piles lol
At work the lights go off after 11 minutes so 10 minutes is about right.
Does twerking turn it back on?
If you're lucky someone else might go to the urinal to have a whiz so the timer starts from scratch.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poo (for 30 minutes) on company time?
I’ve been carnivore 2+ years and pooping is one of the surprisingly great things about it. It’s awesome. Since cutting fibre it takes me a few seconds for a number 2, the stuff just falls out. Never have to push.
You haven’t lived until you’ve done a fibre free dump.
Fibre makes it easier to poop?
That’s been my experience. Removing fibre has been liberating.
If it’s on company time all day.
15-20 minutes. And 3-4 pees during it.
Sounds like what I do too!
It's a bit like working. 80% of the time you are not actually doing the job.
This Comment section is gold, just this whole post is really. Who would've thought we'd be discussing how long wee take to do a number 2 on Ozbargain, a website for sharing deals………
Me: Less than a min.
Her: 30-60 mins.Like far out.
I think my equipment is slowing down. I remember a few years ago my dumps were quick and so healthy that I felt proud to see the drain clogged and flushing twice. Water rising in the bowl due to a massive dump gave me a strange feeling of pride…
At my old job there was a guy that would have his 30 min morning tea break drinking his coffee and read the paper. After the break he would take his paper and sit on the dunny for another 20 mins. This was basically every day.
At work, the boss set the sensor timer to 10 minutes, if anyone complained about the lights going out we knew who was on the shitter too long.
Well, is that with or without wiping..
2 minutes max. Diet high in fiber. No problems.
Less than 60 seconds as I'm usually in a Dota game and have to power through it before I respawn
I can't believe this site is free.
Depends how long my book is or the article im reading on my phone. Can be up to an hour.
Wtf with these results. Under 30 seconds always. I like to time the bidet so the water squirts the second after last log. Best case scenario I can be in and out under 10 seconds.

I drink lots of coffee, eat lots of vegetables and fibre. I’m a pooping machine and always have been
