honeymoon is over when this happens and it will

My first wife was like that. She hated when I was in the latrine and locked the door. She would say “why lock the door? I’m not going to see anything I haven’t seen before.” Good grief woman, there’s one thing I do in life that I don’t need an audience for. Of course, it was difficult to reason with a spawn of pure, undiluted evil.

When houses and apartments typically had only one bathroom, it was not unusual for husband and wife to be in it at the same time (doing different things, of course). Opus’s generation is more oriented toward privy privacy, now that multiple bathrooms are the norm….

My family would go to the outhouse together. It was a three holer. Two tall ones for adults and a short one for the child, making it a communal thing. We are all too fuddy duddy nowadays about a normal function that we all do.

I got over my obsession of locking the bathroom door after I got a cat

I once had a GF who always left the door open. Never quite got used to her.

My wife and I have never even closed the bathroom door (unless we have company of course).

That’s why bathroom doors have locks, Opus!

This MAY be my favorite strip…!!! Lol

Growing up in a house with three younger sisters and one bathroom, you lose your sense of privacy very quickly. Same for an uncle/aunt’s house that I spent much time at.

famous quote: “you know the honeymoon is over when she comes in to take a dump while you’re brushing your teeth.”

Your relatives whom I met in Antarctica a few years back sure didn’t have these qualms about doing their business in public.

The tour operator neglected to warn about the smell.
