In a video game, to progress through the game at a very slow pace, much slower than designed, in order to artificially lower its difficulty.

When one enters the bathroom, turns on steaming hot water in the shower and proceeds to take a shit. The shit particles cling to the water vapour in the air creating a dense stench. For maximum effect, empty all the water out of the toilet so your turd is only hitting porcelain. Proceed to call a significant other into the bathroom, citing you need help with something, and relish their reaction of having to smell your airborne vaporized poo particles.
