I suffer from the Mariko Aoki phenomenon. Anyone else?

I crap first thing in the morning. Like, between 5 and 7 am. Like clockwork.

If I ever crap outside of that timeframe, it's because I've changed my diet or I'm sick or something. I've never noticed my environment making me have to crap.

Although, in college I went to a school that was up north, and did not have a/c in any of the buildings. Except for the library. In order to maintain the proper temp and humidity for the books.

Anyhow, I lived there one summer. And I would always go to the library to cool off in the afternoon and take a nap. So I started shitting there too. It was always cool, quiet, and clean. Perfect shitting environment. So, after that summer of library shitting I would sometimes have to shite whenever I walked past the building. Like Pavlov's dog or something.

But I haven't noticed the correlation in 20 years.

Yes. I have to shite in bookstores. I just figured the glue in the bindings had something to do with it.

My name is DownSouthJukin, and I'm a bookstore shitter.

I had the same thing happen to me every time I went to a video rental store. I mean it was like clockwork.


And always a solid poop too, it was the strangest thing.

When I was in college I wondered why I usually had to take a shite while studying in the library.

Then I took a psychology class called "drug use and effects" that said caffeine and amphetamines increase bowel movements and it all made sense
