So the other day I was having dinner with my housemate, when she told me that a comedian she had just gone to see had revealed a very interesting fact during the show: Apparently when people wipe their bum after going for a poo, there's an almost equal split between those who sit while doing it and those who stand.

According to my housemate, the comedian did a poll via a show of hands and proved his point – there was an equal split between sitters and standers in the room, and what was more interesting was that both camps were surprised by one another's choice.
As a sitter, I was frankly shocked by this information and immediately wanted to know which camp my friends were in.

Weirdly they all replied straight away without question, so I don't know what that says about me.
Most of my mates were natural sitters and were as confused as I was.

Others weren't so sure what they did and needed to get back to me.

He never did get back to me, though. Suspicious.

The women at BuzzFeed UK had a very clear stance:

The lean and wipe. Classic.
But then a crazy thing happened. One of my friends revealed that they stood, AND they had reasons.

I'm not sure I know what she means by "view" but okay.
And then ANOTHER friend revealed that they were once a stander but are now reformed.

The pressures of conforming to societal norms, guys.
So, trusted and valuable readers, do me a favour and help me figure out if this is really a thing or if I just have a couple of weird friends.
