Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 42 | I actually posted this question because I became faced with having to opt to the Roto Rooter method. If any of you are familiar with the show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" I have a similar phobia to Larry David's character where I hate to use the restroom away from home. I was staying with a friend out of town and found myself in a terrible predicament and no other way out. I survived with a bit of humor, but it was one of those dreadful moments when you realize you are facing one of your greatest fears of a bad bowel movement not at home. Thanks for the honesty as it is nice to know that this is a common problem. You guys are great!
