Ask HN: Do you charge to take a shit?

I was doing some hourly rate software work for a client and had an interesting dilemma... do I charge them for taking a shit?

Initially I wasn't billing for shits but I got thinking... all those hourly rate jobs I had as a kid - they always paid me to take a shit. Even 15 min breaks were paid, heck sometimes even lunch.

I've been using a stopwatch timer to track hourly rate time. Stop the stopwatch before bathroom breaks or no?
