Poll: Pooping in public restrooms

badbnagdway

I will go if I have to go. I also do try to be alone in the public bathroom (or at least with no one immediately next to me). At work sometimes I have to do a couple drive-by pees if there are people in there already. I am with others, I go really quick (like two minutes, tops) but FI takes FOREVER in the bathroom. 

Obviously what he is doing in there is his business, but I have asked him to start telling me if he's going to be gone for a while when we're in public. It's super awkward to be sitting by yourself at a restaurant after a meal for like, 20 minutes. And the waiter keeps coming by and asking if everything is ok. And I'm like, "well, my partner in life is like, blowing up your bathroom because he can't stop eating fast food and fried chicken, but other than that things are great."

I don't really say that, but I should.

No  problem pooping in a public restroom.  Of course that is probably influenced by my most early days in the military.  There would be 2 rows of 4 toilets, back to back, no walls, stalls or anything else.  If you were pooping, peeing, or changing your tampon everyone could watch.

I just couldn't poop like that so I would wait til the middle of the night and go to the latrine.  Surprisingly, that is what everyone else was doing too.  You had to get over it.  These days, it is all stalls, shower stalls instead of community showers, etc.  I tell ya, this Army has gone soft.

I don't have any issue with it. I flush as I go to help prevent the smell, and if I feel like I'm going to fart or something, I flush to cover up the sound. 

 It's really no big deal anymore, especially since I had my gall bladder removed and there are times I have to go RIGHT FUCKING NOW. When you have digestive issues and it's a matter of either pooping in a public restroom or soiling yourself, you get over your bathroom shyness pretty damn fast.
