So I'm totally embarassed asking this but hey, I'll probably never meet any of you so what the heck....... :laugh:
Are you comfortable going #2 anywhere but home? Can you go at work, on vacation, in a public restroom?
Or do you hold it until you get home, wether that's a day or a week?
I'm just curious if I'm alone in my answer because I would hold that *kitten* (no pun intended) until I got home. Even if it might not be for a day or too.
I'd rather go away from home, makes it easier when I have to clean the bathroom0 -
when you gotta go, you gotta go. and as someone else pointed out, we all gotta go sometime. Holding it in can cause all kinds of issues w/ your intestines and bowels... ok, maybe if you want to wait til you get home that night, but holding for days can cause serious issues.... sometimes, if need be, i'll do the Ace Ventura impersonation... "Come out of the restroom, waving your hands for fresh air, point to the restroom door and say: WHEW!!! You do NOT want to go in there!!" gets a laugh... if you are concerned with odor though, carry a can of air spray in your purse and don't be afraid to use it AS you walk into the rest room!0

there was one time I peed in a public stall and the woman next to me was taking a crap- and she was farting and it sounded sooo nasty, and wet and gross and she was GIGGLING and saying things like "oh my word" and stuff, you could hear people geeking out, by the sinks, I was so embarassed FOR HER, and FOR MYSELF for being in the same room, I sat in that bathroom for close to 20 minutes waiting for EVERYONE to leave, and no one to be in there to sneak out. I'm that stupid about it.0

I too am funny where I drop the deuce. I'm a mechanic and the bathroom at work is disgusting. I haven't used it yet. That being said, I don't mind hanging my *kitten* off the side of a log if I'm camping. Dead wood is sterile right? lol0

How many of you have been in this situation: Sitting in a public restroom in a Jeff Daniel's Dumb and Dumber moment, waiting painfully for the ONE other occupant to leave! Or at least flush so you can go with the flush, hoping it's sounds mask your own? Oh, um... yeah me neither :blushing:
I've never, ever, ever, done this. I've also never tried waiting it out (the dreaded "I was here first, I'm holding on until you leave" game), just to end up leaving because I had to go so bad, and then go to a different floor in my building that has nobody in the bathroom...
:ohwell: :blushing:0 -
LOL-I used to be this way at work. It made me constipated when I held it in. So, if nature calls-I answer. (I can't believe I'm writing about this.) LOL

Poop occurs naturally, so as long as I don't need a hazmat suit to use the facilities no worries.0

The only reason I try not to use a public restroom for pooping is the toilet paper quality. 9 times out of 10 the toilet seat cover is stronger and I don't relish trying to pull my pants up one-handed because the other got soiled. Only time I think I was ever uncomfortable was when I was sharing a hotel room with my boyfriend. I turned on the faucet when I went.0

oh my god, both of these are sooo me. i will literally leave and find different bathrooms until i can get some peace. i WILL NOT hold it in though, and have my stomach hurt for the rest of the day. that sucks.0 -

Another reason I don't like public restrooms. When I worked as a barista one of the hardest chores I had was the bathrooms because people would leave it so dirty. My second day in the men's room there was a single, whole turd literally next to the toilet. How someone managed to wedge their butt in that small space between the toilet and the wall is beyond me. I've also seen some unspeakable things done with sanitary pads and tampons. Yuck.0 -

This is why you just use LOTS of it. lol.0 -
I don't have any problem with it. But I also carry toilet seat covers with me, just in case.0

If I need to go #2 in public, I just do 2 #1's.
The math is right but it doesn't make me feel any better.0 -
I generally stay away from public bathrooms all together. Its not a matter of embarassment... Its a germ thing. I'm not a germ freak, but public bathrooms creep me out. I need to know the bathroom is cleaned on a regular basis and that little sign in sheet on the back of the door just doesn't reassure me much.0
-
Can't go anywhere but at home unless we're away for an extended period of time.. and then it's tough going.. so to speak.
On our honeymoon I finally *went* on Day 4.. ended up plugging the toilet and flooding the hotel room below..oops! I hid under the covers and begged my new hubby to say he did it!0 -

I agree with this. 9 days....that's so unhealthy for your body. The toxins can seep back into your blood stream if you hold it long enough and cause problems for your body.
"If you keep your feces for an extra day...
harmful bacteria in your intestine will have more time to multiply. Your immune system has to work harder to control those germs. And your liver has increased burden of detoxifying the toxins produced by these harmful bacteria. You will have a weaker body and you get tired easily."
I never used to be able to go in public bathrooms but I can as long as I am alone now. I believe I have even heard it can cause you to develop polyps and other issues in your colon. (I don't have medical backing for this atm so no one jump my case!) The colon is a LARGE part of your physical health and plays a part in how you function in a LOT of ways. I try to empty mine when need be because I'd like to stay healthy! 0 -
I get stage fright just peeing in public restrooms if any of the other stalls are occupied, so unless its an emergency not only will I hold it as long as I need to, but I will also hold it at home if anyone other than my daughter is in the house. Even if its my parents that are here, until they leave the colon just has to deal with it.0

I wear depends which allows me more time with the ladies!0

I do not exaggerate when I say I can drop trou against a tree and do my business. I have no modesty. If I gotta go, I'mma go, at home, at work, in the mall, in the woods, with others around or not.0

Simple
Colitis ... there ain't no way to hold the sh1t!!!!0 -
i'm almost too open about pooping. lol i can do it anywhere, anytime. no shame for me. oops!0
-
If I am at work or say in public I try to hold it until I get home. But if I am on vacation of course I go where I am I don't know when it would be until I get home. I don't really want anyone to hear me.0
-
I can pretty much go anywhere. Except of course if I am on a date or with a certain somebody. Until I get extremely comfortable around them. That will take actively hanging out with him for a few months though. But I do not recommend holding it in. That is the worse thing you could ever do. I was on percocets and it constipated me. I was extremely impacted. I tried laxatives and all it did was made me wake up in pain so bad I was screaming out. Literally SCREAMING. I literally thought I was about to have a baby and not even know I was pregnant and there was no absolute way unless I was about to birth a 2 year old. NEVER EVER EVER EVER hold it in. Ever! Constipation can kill you. I am too afraid to take advil now. Everyone poops. No one is superhuman. If any says they don't they are lying or need to be taken to the emergency room pronto.0
-
and PLEASE for the love of God and humanity courtesy flush! Every poo every flush. PLEASE!0
-
I'm pretty regular and usually go in the mornings but I don't have a problem doing it if I'm away from home. My way of thinking is, everybody does it. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.0

I totally do not care!!!! Everyone poops and so do I and I'd rather just go and get it over with. It can be really awkward in the bathroom when someone is just hanging out and you don't want them to hear your fart or "kerplop" but if unavoidable just wait till the person leaves so they don't give you looks. Otherwise, nothing I'm bothered about because you eventually will have to go.0

I have no shame.. I go whenever and where ever... I did 4 yrs in the marines... we had toilets in rows with no walls we would take a crap while talking to the guy next to us.. we really didnt have a choice since that was the only place to go.. and no different when we were overseas there were walls in those stalls but you all rushed in after a convoy you didnt care you just let it RIP... I am not shy at all I can know the person is next to me and I just start to play a game.. game being.. I wonder how loud I can make this to see if they will say something when I come out.. like for real what they going to say anyways.. Good job? or dang dude you had some issues... I would say with a smile on my face... you are correct I HAD some but now they are going down that drain.. thanks for your concern... wash my hands and leave with a smile... no shame in that... but think about it.. what is the person going to say if you make some noise getting your crap out of your system.. it is only natural in the first place...
let it RIP no shame in doing your thing...
