Any one else hate to do #2 in a public restroom?

Question

I can't have my serenity in a public restroom when doing #2 and I can't drop my stinky loads off just any place putting people through that smell because I have never heard of a #2 that don't stink. If I can't hold it or it is causing problems for me then I am in and I am out ASAP. I need to be in the privacy of my own home, hotel room or maybe a friend or relatives house if I know them well and they have a clean bathroom but I prefer home. I have only done it 5 times or less in public restrooms such as school, work or in general public restrooms period since I can remember going to the restroom on my own and I am almost 26 now and the last time I did #2 in a public restroom was well over 10 years ago but no more than 15 years ago and that was one of those rare moments where I had to go or risk public humiliation.

I was wondering if anyone else hate to do #2 in a public restroom or is it just me?

Answer 1

Yes and I will add a little more info that some may not be aware of:

For the men: Are you aware that all of the women's restrooms have doors on the stalls in multi-use restrooms.

For you women: Are you aware that NOT all of the men's restrooms have doors on the stalls in multi-use restrooms.

So it is not just a matter of someone being a germ freak, it is a matter of not having any privacy! Talk about humiliation!

Answer 2

Public restrooms are not the highest on my list of places to do #2, but I will not hesitate if I must. I am a soldier though, so I pretty much have to go wherever I can. I have gone in much worse places than a public restroom. I would have to say the most memorable of them all would have to be when I climbed a tree, hung my hind end over a branch, and let it rip. I do, however always carry a moist towelette in case of emergency like that.
Learn to squat, not sit. If you have time, make a sort of "film" over the top of the water with TP, so that you wont splash yourself. Also, if you're worried about other people being around when you do it, trust me, they are just about as embarrassed of walking in the same restroom as someone recreating the Hiroshima incident, as you are of doing it.

Answer 3

What's worse is #3 in a public restroom!
I always wait until someone flushes a toilet/urinal or closes a door or turns on a faucet or something noisy before I... make any noise, thereby avoiding embarrassment.
There have been times when I just didn't care and just let it go. I just tried not to picture the faces on the other peole in that restroom.
It's okay to not like it... but sometimes it is necessary. You don't want to constipate yourself. That sucks even worse than #2 in a public toilet.

Answer 4

Yes, I agree. I hate to do it in a public restroom. It seems stupid, though. It is not like some deep dark secret that I have the same bodily functions as everyone else, but still, I would rather wait until I am home.

Answer 5

I have a son aged 30 who is much like you. I fought as President of the PTO to get doors on the bathroom stalls of the boys bathrooms because children humiliated him to the point that he had intestinal pain. The matter almost went to the school board. The school Principal's excuse for door removal was "boys act like monkeys", but the students won in the end. These kind of issues affect people for life. I carry germx with me in a little bottle and paper seat covers are available for sale. I use them too. We women don't have much of a choice ,we gotta sit once in awhile.

Answer 6

I hate it. I can come to work sick...........but if I have a stomach bug that I know is going to land me in the bathroom, I stay home, only because I hate doing that anyplace but in the privacy of my home.
I thought I was the only one that felt that way!
I know there are situations where you can't help it, but if I can help it, I'm NOT going to go in a public restroom!

Answer 7

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go, so they say. It is very embarrassing to have to in a public restroom (restaurant, job, school, department store, etc). It never seems the restroom is empty for #2 - as it often is for #1.

Answer 8

I don't mind pooping wherever and whenever (always in bathrooms, of course). It's always a relief to unleash my load, so to speak. I think a good way to overcome you fear of taking dumps in public restrooms is to realize that pooping is part of nature, and nobody is paying attention to how long you poop, or knows the stinkiness comes from your poop vs. another person's poop. By enjoying the relief of unleashing your load and overcoming your anxiety about smelliness and constipitation, you can set your bowel free and have bowel movements wherever your soul, spirit, and body desires. Best of luck in your pooping aventures.

Small note. Make sure to line the toilet seat with toilet paper to avoid picking up other people's germs or leaving your own. With fresh toilet paper to sit on, you have nothing to worry about. When you're done with the pooping, you can get another square of toilet paper to use for flushing.

Answer 9

I can only do #2 at my home bathroom it's a privacy thing. I know everybody does it but I don't think people want to share that with others. Plus it always stinks worse to other people than to yourself and that is embarrassing.

Answer 10

I just hate using public restrooms in general.
