P.O.P.

Ever since the day that Peekay told me about the phenomenon I now call P.O.P. or “particles of poop” I’ve been completely traumatized whenever I have to use a toilet without a seat lid. In case you are not familiar with this golden gem of knowledge, please, let me share:

Peekay learned from her brother, who is a professional plumber, that every time you flush a toilet tiny particles of poop become airborne and could attach themselves to the unwary person standing unknowingly next to the violently flushing toilet. That is why you should always put the seat lid down before you flush. However, if you are in a public restroom where seat covers are not an option, you’d better be fast on your feet.

Thank you, Peekay, for adding to my growing list of phobias! ;p
