    I don't get why people freak out about pooping going on in a bathroom... hello???? It's a toilet... It's being used for it's intended purpose!

    Do you use the handicapped stall? Do you use a courteous flush to hide the sound of your blowout?


    Discuss your public restroom habits.

    Maybe....maybe not. The world will never know.

    I get SO GROSSED OUT BY WOMEN WHO USE THEIR PHONES IN THE BATHROOM. Ew, just yuck.


    THIS! There are a few women in my office that seem to think the ladies room is their personal phone booth. They'll be in a stall, chatting away. I think that is SO rude. I don't want to hear your conversation, and I'm not too keen on having a 3rd party listen to me pee. Just...go sit in a conference room or something. Ugh.

    For those who do use public restrooms -- have you ever been in the restroom with another person -- who's waiting on you to leave so they can go -- but you're waiting on them to flush and leave so you can go?

    I know there's at least one other person out there who's had that situation:blushing:

    Talk about awkward.

    And what's up with that little cough we do??

    Haha! So how much TP do you use? I use a ton! Roll is usually half of what it was when I'm done.

    I only use the handicap stall if all others are full. Generally, I always go to the first stall. If it's taken, the second. Germophobe here and those are the cleanest.

    I also NEVER sit anything on the floor in the bathroom. I wrap my purse around my neck if there aren't any hooks. In microbiology, we did a study of the germs found on the floor and it grossed me out so bad. The toilet seat is cleaner than the floor...

    I think it's beyond disgusting when people talk on the phone while going to the restroom. Conversations in general are awkward while people are talking to each other.

    Regardless, I hate using the restroom in public. I try not to most of the time. I have a shy bladder. hahaha

    Sometimes you just "have to" go, but the handicapped stall in the men's room is almost always covered in urine, so if you really have to do some business, it's a bad choice. I only do #2 in a public restroom in SERIOUS cases of emergency. I mean serious burrito emergency.

    I do use the one at work, but it's only used by a very small number of people and it is cleaned multiple times daily.

    i do too, i wipe it down first, and then put the tissue on lol, i almost always use the handicap because i'm claustrophobic lol and i do the courtesy flush. at work unfortunately, we don't have a private bathroom so i have no choice at times :( i've also had to wait for folks to leave the bathroom, i feel rude if i'm stinking up the place while someone's putting on make-up or something lol

    seems lately at the office, I have to *ahem* go around the same time every morning and I usually try to get the furthest stall in, i.e. handicapped out of respect, but no courtesy flush. Its usually pretty quick, quiet and not too terrible, PLUS, I spray the disinfecting spray into and around the toilet as I flush. If just peeing, I'll take the 1st stall, if its open.

    If I am with one of my young sisters yes I do go in the big stall. I do not feel comfortable leaving them in a public bathroom "alone"...They are 3 and 5. Plus normally they have to go too. If I am by myself I go in the closest one to the door because thats the least used (people don't normally like using the first one)

    I try to avoid public toilets at all costs I hate them and if I really have to I put toilet paper down. I also cannot do a poopy unless I'm at home so I don't do the courtesy flush.

    We are a lot alike, Bry!!

    Quick, clean, reliable, and respectful... To a certain degree, lol! :heart:

    I have no idea why I can't poop in a public restroom. I don't *feel* nervous about it, but the situation never seems to present itself when I'm not at home. I also typically have a very small window of time when I feel the urge or it won't happen, and I think that has something to do with it. I have very odd bathroom habits.

    alright...keep it going
    depends on where i am....and the cleanliness of the bathroom....
    i used to use the handicapped stall when my kiddo was little--stroller fit in there. I've now graduated to the single stalls since the little one learned to "hover" on her own (and was tall enough-can i just say the "family" restrooms in malls that have the litle tiny toilets for the kids is the best ever!!! Any idea how hard it is to hold a 3 yr old over a toilet in the hover position and getting the pee to go in the right direction--talent i tell you!)
    when drunk at a bar i don't care--gotta go. good work out for the quads tho...hovering in 4inch heels...also a talent
    I only poop in my own house...unless absolutely in dire straights...so if i bolt in the morning it's not that i didn't have a good time...it's that i gotta take a *kitten*.
