Why do people turn the faucet on when they go to the bathroom?

Question

I never understood why people do this....do you guys do this? If so why? Are you concerned about people listening to your body functions? Are you embarassed? I can understand about getting pee shy if someone else can visibly see you...but.....just why do people do this?

Answer 1

So no one can hear the 'tinkle-plop' . . .

Answer 2

I do this for 2 reasons - mainly in my office because the ladies room is only 1 small room with 1 toilet and 1 sink. (I dont do this at home).

ANyway - the 1st reason is because I like to wash my hands in warm/hot water after using the toilet and it takes forever to get hot water in the faucet. And the 2nd reason is because the ladies room is near a sales room full of men and I dont want them to HEAR what bodily function Im doing when in there.

Answer 3

I don't like people hearing my "squeeeeeze, huhhhhhh" type sounds of regular constipation. But turning on the water on just causes more attention, so I stopped doing that. Sometimes its just nice to hear the white noise during the relief process.

Answer 4

I am a guy. I take pride at what I do, even if there is guests in my house or someone elses. You gotta pee, pee. You gotta poop and fart in the bathroom. Do it. I don't run water unless I have to wash my hands, afterwards.

Answer 5

They don't want people to hear the noises they will be making. The sound of running water covers up the sounds.

Answer 6

2 reasons.
1. It will drown out the piss noise when it hits the toilet water

2. RUnning water helps them go pee faster.

Answer 7

Other than the peeing and the sh itting sound, the smell is not exactly perfume

Answer 8

They refuse to heed the council of The Almighty Bunghole!

Answer 9

i do it only when i find it hard to pee, it sort of stimulates me to pee.
