For example, when I’m at work I don’t feel like it, or if I do I can hold it back without any problem, but when I get home the urge seems to be uncontrollable and impossible to hold back.
I remember there was actually a scientific article written about this. If I recall, it’s something about your brain/subconscious knowing that you are close to a toilet
It’s not just about being close to any toilet though, specifically the one at home is different. Coming home from a trip and I’ll need to go to the bathroom even though I’ve had plenty of good access the whole time.
You go when (1) biologically needed, and (2) it is convenient.
Stress hormones suppress the desire at work but at home you feel relaxed 😎.
You’re going an awful lot of assuming thinking I’m not stressed at home…
So do you have the opposite happen to you, where the urge increases as you get closer to work? :-P
Edit: pulls out marker, well looks like I need to make another edit here then, from home to work…
I suddenly want to make a line of parodies of these signs. Like have one that says in a really quirky font “Defecate” for the bathroom.
Live, Laugh, Poop
This isn’t too hard to explain based on everything I know about human behaviour. Your brain has probably just carved a very big pathway in it for all the times you’ve pooped in your own home. You can associate anything that rewards your body with endorphins with anything else that provides a strong memory or reaction. See pavlov
