Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
I don’t know how Maggie did it, but she did it. I mean, uh, Joyce, wow! What an interesting made-up ability I crafted for you!
Teleportation!
Telepootation
Tele-poo-toot-tion
See, those sound more like she took a poop in the living room, and teleported it to a position above the toilet.
…which would be very unfortunate for anyone else using the bathroom at the time, come to think of it.
Calling it: Anti-Joyce is back somehow, and she and Regular-Joyce are conspiring with each other to drive Walky nuts.
Now that Joyce is less uptight about sex, they actually can be friends. It’s like the end of Scott Pilgrim vs The World where he and NegaScott decide they have a lot in common.
One thing Joyce and Anti-Joyce have in common is that neither likes Walky’s obsession with pooping, so that’s what they decided to torment him with.
I guess their bathroom door doesn’t have a lock. I think all bathroom doors should have locks.
They are the kind of couple who don’t lock the bathroom door.
When we’re the only ones in our place, my wife and I are the kind of couple who don’t even close the bathroom door.
Lock? Pssh. I was already a little weirded out that she bothered to close the door in the past past strips, until I remembered Sal is still supposed to around. A lock would just be crazy talk.
Door closing alone is a hassle, I barely even do that unless Hubs is literally in bed (he’s closest to the bathroom)
if your house has small kids, it’s actually safer to have a bathroom that doesn’t lock (also if there’s a person with suicidal tendencies, come to think of it).
They do make door handles with a “courtesy lock” that on the outside just has a horizontal indent that can be turned with a screwdriver, handy coin, or even a sturdy fingernail. No key or anything special required to unlock it from the outside, is the point.
I grew up in a house where the standard rule of courtesy/etiquette was “A closed bathroom door is an occupied one”. No need to knock, call out, and certainly not to let yourself in unannounced.
(There’s also an addendum to that rule that closing the bathroom door when you’re not in it is not allowed either, as that leads to frustrated people standing outside it politely peeing their pants for no reason.)
Now you’re probably wondering “since when is teleportation a abductee power?” Well it’s not, it’s a Joyce power since she retains it in other universes: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/01-face-the-strange/helping/
Didn’t know that trolling is an abductee power.
This is where my wife departs from her Joyce similarity. She’ll keep talking to me while she’s doing her business, and she’ll walk in on me when I’m doing mine. I have to specifically ask for privacy.
WALKY: “Witch! Wwwiiitch!
Maybe there are two of them.
Another Joyce clone? Which one has he been nailing then?
Both; he just doesn’t know it.
OKAY WHAT
