OK, this is DEFINITELY not something I would normally discuss and not something I normally see on myLot, for sure. Yet, each and every one of us uses the same bodily functions at one point or another, with a few minor variations.
Such as: women can have babies; men can't. Men can write their names in the snow; women (most) can't. Men see passing gas as a competitive sport; women, not as much (hey - we have our moments). You get the idea.
So, I'd like to know, without graphic detail, which of the functions that we can't escape do you hate the most? Which is the most annoying to you?
For me, it's the elimination of solid waste - call it what you will. There are so darned many "styles" that it arrives (or would that be departs?) in that I never know what to expect!! Some are rather easy to deal with and others - well - let's just say the paper work takes forever!!!
So, is this a topic you'd feel comfortable responding to? Do you dare???

Same for me. I also absolutely detest pregnancy and periods. I absolutely refuse to ever be pregnant. I wish I could just get my uterus removed and get it over with. I want nothing to do with reproduction.

I absolutely disagree. I think it's the single most disgusting thing in the world.

I only had cramps the first couple years. After that, I had nothing until after I had my daughter when I was 31 and then I began with PMS unlike anything I've ever experienced. More like Manic Depression that was super elevated until my period started and then I was fine for two weeks until it began again. Ugh. But, the headaches - those migraines I'd get every month - they'd grab me and squeeze until I finally went through menopause. Hurrah! No more!!

hi jerzgirl well for me its the result of nausea when you know
damned well you are going to upchuck or vomit as a nurse would
put or emisis as one nurse made us nurese aids use to chart the
upchucking.I hate the whole process and specially if you have anemergency and do this someplace in public. I once ate at a Jack In The Box and got to really feeling ill. I sat here hoping I could get home befor anything horrid happened. So finally got off at my s top, walked down the bus steps and that was it, I heaved my guts out in the street. an elderly fat lady called to me, you should be ashamed at your age drinking like that. Now I was completly embarrassed. I did not answer her but hurted home to my apartment hoping my son was not home yet , and surely not in the bathroom. I readin the paper the next day that twenty people left Jack In the Box and were violently ill at their homes as the hamburger was full of salmonella.I was very ill for about a week and my doctor prescribed several medications that did help some. He wanted to hospitalize me but I refused.

Holy cow, Hatley! You had a cash cow there (or cash burger, anyway) and you'da been sittin' pretty if you'd gotten a good lawyer! LOL
I've only had one public, so to speak, event like that and it was at work. I have no idea, even now, what set it off, but I felt it coming. I hurried to the ladies room, which was just a bit down the hall from my office, and didn't make it. I got into the bathroom, opened the stall door and - WHAM!!! Projectile!! All over the seat, floor, wall. I was so embarrassed, even though I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I found another woman who worked there and told her what had happened and how bad I felt that someone had to clean it up, but that I needed to go home because I didn't know why it had happened. I felt worse for the poor person who had to clean it up than I did for myself.

Hey Jerz! Now how could I not accept a "dare" from
one of my oldest and dearest mylotter buddies? I would definitely
have to agree with you on this one! Yup! It is definitely the
most annoying of all the bodily functions and the messiest
at times! I sometimes wish I had stock in a TP Company, ya know?
Sometimes I think my bf is worse than the cats and I am always telling
them to "use the spray" at least!lol I at least know with
them that shortly or exactly after eating their "canned food" they
will be "visiting the litter box". My next door neighbor is sometimes
here around that time and she swears that are just waiting until she
gets here!lol But, the bf when he gets on the "throne" can be in there
for over a half hour and I have to usually go because I have a weak
bladder! I don't know what takes him so damn long, but he really
can stay in there forever! At least the seat is warm...

LMAO!!!
Oh, Opal - I definitely enjoyed yours. Everyone else was so serious in their responses, other than Ambie who is jealous of men. You got into the fun of the realities of life!
I don't even mind the fragrance (well, yeah, I do, but I'm not offended by it), but dammit - I wish it was as quick and neat as it's nearest sibling, ya know? LOL

Having my menstrual period. I always have menstrual cramps and it really hurts bad, I feel like removing my reproductive organs just to stop the pain but of course I can't. I always need to take medications to relieve the pain because other simpler or conventional methods are not effective. If I don't, I'll faint and I've experienced that while strolling in a mall. I was lucky I'm with my mom that day and not alone. I also had experienced having stains at school most of the time and it was really uncomfortable and embarrassing. Guys are lucky they don't experience these things, they only get to experience one painful surgery their whole life. Just imagine if they need to undergo it monthly. (lol) =)

Would you classify this as a"quality" discussion? I really don't know why people are so obsessed and occupied by bodily functions. Most bodily functions are necessary as breathing. Why is this such a worthwhile topic. I have noticed this before with some of the people I know. They want to talk and do talk about this function or that one and how often it has to be performed. I usually cut the dicussion off because it bores me so.

I have always been envious that men can pee stanging up. I mean if women wanted to, they could. But it would be messy. So when men go to the bathrooms at gas stations and just go #1, they don't have to sit down on those nasty seats. Women have to get a toilet seat cover, and if they don't have those, then we have to put toilet paper around the seat. Ugh! Plus, they don't even have to take their underwear off to pee. Not fair.

Vomiting.
I was quite ill at the weekend, and couldn't keep ANYTHING down. even water I struggled with.
and vomiting is utterly wretched. you can't enjoy a good vomit.
you can enjoy a good poo. weeing I'm indifferent to. vomiting you just can't find anything other than misery in.

I couldn't agree more! I have a big problem with solid waste, as you put it, because I too sometimes don't know what to expect. My period is annoying too, at least the first couple of days that I'm screaming in pain and people just ignore because they believe I'm faking. After that, there's the mucus production that takes place when I catch a cold and makes me feel quite gross. Now that I'm thinking of it, most of our bodily functions are plain gross...Haha, I like the gas part though and find it funny. But only when I'm on my own, I don't participate in such competitions.

I think many women will agree with me that having the menarch or the monthly cycle is one of the most discomforting bodily functions that a female human being has to undergo every month. Just imagine lots of blood coming out of your body for days every month. It feels so dirty and sticky.
