Hi. Well, after a horrible month and a half (let's see, my dad told me he's getting re married to a woman I've never met, I was the anniversary of my mom's death-2 years- and I realized I have never really grieved for her death so I've been an emotional mess, an ear infection that I can't kick so I've been dizzy and having equilibium issues just even driving to work- going to an ear nose and throat doc monday), so after all of those things, I'm starting on an anti depressant along with a grief support group and personal counseling. Anyway, this Anti depressant is already giving me D, so I wondered a funny question...
We have one bathroom at work with 4 stalls for 350 people. I know this is going to smell, which makes me feel even worse. Has anyone ever found some small air fresheners or anything they can spray to make it not quite so bad on others (or yourself)?
Thanks for your support, and ANY humor would be appreciated!

My "trick" is to flush IMMEDIATELY, before the smell has a chance to "mingle".  (Sorry guys.) This has ALWAYS worked for me. I practice it at home as well. Don't even let it hit the water before you reach for the flusher!

Carry a lighter. Just flick your bic when the smell comes. The flame will nutralize the methane (you'll notice little stars dancing around the flame). No need to deal with matches-- that telltale sulfur smell and wood smoke is a dead giveaway that someone's lit a match, but no one can tell you've lit a lighter unless they hear the "click." 
Good luck!

Hi Theresa,
Sorry you are having a bad time...hope everything evens out soon.
Actually, I do the same thing Bevvy does. Flush right away and it also muffles the "poop noises", Ha Ha. Then if necessary flush again.
Unfortunately, my desk at work is right across the hall from our two unisex bathrooms, not stalls, just one potty each. Anyway, when some of the guys "go" they use so much of the air freshner that when it hits me at my desk it almost knocks me off my chair. PHEWEEEE! I think it might just be better not to spray at all and suffer a few minutes than to smell that strong air freshner for about an hour afterwards. EW!
Also, have you tried using Imodium for the "D". That helps me a lot.

As well as everything already suggested. I'd also suggest carrying a miniture of your perfume in your purse and giving yourself a quick spray while you're in there. It'll help the smell and seem natural.
