Hey, you - office pooper:

Our one-holer toilet closets don't offer much air circulation. Therefore, when you poop, turn off the light (and subsequently the fan) and then shut the door, you trap your poo smell in that tiny little room until someone finally breaks down and knocks on the shut door only to realize they've been pacing outside of an empty room for 20 minutes and then enter only to be knocked out by the fumes.
As far as I see it, you have two options:
1. Buck up, trooper. Everybody poops. And lots of people do it at work. So leave the door open at least a bit to let it air out. If you're feeling exceptionally self conscious (even after the courtesy flush), then leave the light/fan on. And give the room a little squirt of that fancy little air freshener that sits right there next to the toilet. Yes, if you squirt it, I might catch on to the fact that you dropped a deuce while you were in there for 20 minutes. But I'm here to tell you I'm onto you even without the courtesy of a little fresh air.
2. If you must close the door, leave the frickin' fan on!
3. And while we're on the subject, another note. If you stand up to pee, why wouldn't you do it in the urinal? It's right there. And when you pee in there, I can't hear it. And yep, I can hear you in there.

you may have already done so, but when you're bored sometime, you should google this topic. There is an entire website dedicated to the etiquette of office pooping! (more than one, maybe?!)
