I get a double cheese at McDonalds with out ketchup or mustard and get a side of Mac sauce for 30 cents to put on it. It's just like a big mac only without the 3rd bun and lettuce, and it's half the price!

or you could get them to put the mac sauce on for you and add some lettuce too.

This might be funny if he was using a made up statistic, but he's not. (I suppose you could argue that any estimate is inherently made up, but that's probably not your intent.)

This is easily the strangest thing I've read this month.

It all links back to fight or flight response. When scared you are full of adrenaline, your reflexes heighten which means you'll have to poop. Our ancestors needed to poop to lower their body weight in order to increase speed when faced with a fight or flight situation. It's why if you're scared of the dentist, you will be able to poop multiple times before your appointment; if you can't then you most likely don't have dental fear at all.

So those who don't have dental fear don't need to take my advice, but if you do then make sure to poop multiple times beforehand to reduce anxiety.

TBF, nothing annoys a dentist more than a patient waiting until he's sitting in the dentist's chair to poop.

So it is more accurately "fight, flight, or poop"?

So is pooping a good way to relieve anxiety in general? Or is it only for dental related anxiety?

I'm so confused.

It had no effect, he just likes to stick his finger up his bum.

Skraper,

Most stuff I guess. I poop a few times before presentations and exams.

I don't think that's a standard thing. I think your bowels are just more anxiety aware than most...

How many times is a few? How many times a day do you poop when you aren't feeling anxious/nervous/scared?

4 out of 5 dentists are more annoyed by patients who fart.

1. Find a 7-11 with lazy clerks
2. Get coffee with 7-11 Refillable Mug for $1.07
3. Only have dollar bills on you
4. Save 7 cents because the clerk doesn't want to make change
5. ???
6. Profit

The extra time and weird sense of uneasiness added to the transaction would be worth more than 7c to the vast majority of people.

Less useful than the poop before dentist post imo

Unless you poop before you go to 7-11, then there is no uneasiness. Then drink the coffee, which makes you poop again, and now you can go to the dentist.
