Curiousity has gotten the best of me.....
 

Ok, i read somewhere about girls not going #2 anywhere but home.......is this really a big deal??? Apparently it's a serious problem.......i guess the question can be opened up to guys too....maybe i'm just wierd, but i do what i need to do when i need to do it.........

Eh? I have never heard of such a thing! I'm with you - as Little Orphan Annie once said, "When you gotta go, you gotta go."

My, I wonder what those ladies do on long overseas flights..... :o


.....Kelly :)

I've def heard of this...in fact I know ppl that do this/have done this!!

Ok, I will be the first to admit it-- I am on this list. Several others in my family also feel the same way I do.
I just hate public bathrooms in general, they stink, they are dirty, etc...

Wellaraummmmm.........!!!!!
When I have to go I go but I make sure 1st and foremost that the B room that's being used is clean......I'm not sitting my a$$ on a nasty toilet......if it's nasty I close shop and relocate to cleaner B room...........::eek:

I think I speak for all guys on this...
 

But I can drop a$$ just about ANYWHERE.

Mall, gas station, campus, work,

I think its a guy thing. That, or that its from living in a dorm with communal bathrooms, and living in the chapter house where I lost all sense of personal space and boundaries.

I can never be bashful ever again.

I'll agree with life.

I HAD an issue with it when i was in MS and HS. Like, i NEVER dropped a$$ in the bathrooms at HS. After i went off to A&M and lived in the dorms with a communal bathroom i had to learn to get over my shyness real quick. Especially since i was a "fish" in the Corps of Cadets and had to use my bathroom time to the utmost efficiency.

Now, i'll drop bombs over baghdad pretty much anywhere.

I have no problem with it but one of my husbands friends will not take a dump anywhere in public. It kind of sucks when we're out with him and we have to leave right NOW! One time I just gave him the keys to my car and said see ya later.

my brother won't poop at school! Anywhere else, it doesn't matter.

maybe 2,000 flushes (or whatever it's called) should do an official study :-) This is interesting............i mean, i have some standards too, but usually if i have to go, anythings good enough ::laughs:: Maybe it has to do with all the time i spent travelling and the summer i spent at camp with latrines :-D

My husband used to be a camp counselor for FCA and he says that they had camps at several colleges where the boys' bathrooms had 4 toilets facing each other. No stalls, no dividers. How can guys just GO facing each other?:eek:

ROFL at this thread!!!

I'm pretty shy about the whole thing but have learned that when nature calls, you gotta answer.

My college boyfriend went to Columbia U. and lived in a co-ed dorm. With co-ed bathrooms!!! Now, to you freethinking Ivy Leaguers out there I'm sure this is no big deal. But I just about died when I was in a stall doing my business and I heard two of my boyfriend's fraternity brothers come in and take the stalls on either side of me and....well, do their thing.

I finished up as fast as I could and fled (first pausing to wash my hands, of course! :) ) so that they wouldn't emerge from their stalls knowing I was there!

First time I did the deed outside of my home was when I was 18. Even now I'm still picky, it has to be a certain bathroom, certain stall, no one else present...usually at school, no other public place.

I think it's a gender thing too. Not just with the pickiness of the location, but how much time you spend. My male relatives spend like a hour on the commode. Either you shit or get off the pot! :mad:

Indeed, timing is everything!

I believe if nature calls, you must answer... but that doesn't mean you don't have to be picky!

I'll always try to wait until there's no one in the bathroom... or if there is, I will try to time things so that we don't see one another while washing hands, etc.

Co-ed bathrooms... EEK!

lol... looks like I just posted almost the exact same thing Dionysus did... oops :)

Generally I am so glad there is a bathroom available that i use it lol . . .

Is there any worse feeling in the world than having to go he bathroom BAD and none to be found anywhere? :eek: Think stomache problems lol

It just seems like storing up bad karma to pass up an available toilet.

This being said, I know girls that will not use the bathrooms of guys they are dating for number two as you guys have put it lol . .. now that is strange isn't it?

I have two female friends, one goes home from work to go. She refuses to go at work. Luckilly she works close to home.

Another one "takes a shower" everytime she has to go at her boyfriends house and even spritzes water on her to feel wet.

So stupid.

Me, personally, I don't like people hearing me but I go if I have to.

OMG I am cracking up over this thread. I am one of those people who won't go anywhere but my own house. WHY? No clue, but I've just always been liek that. I mean of course I have to go other places when I am like on vacation and stuff, but you get the idea.

I won't even tell you guys about my traumatic experience in the third grade when I was in India. Few places actually have toilets, more so just a certain place in the ground you go that goes to the sewer or wherever. When my mom pointed that out to me I almost died. :eek: :eek: :o :o :o :o :o

I took a troop of teenage Girl Scouts to Singapore. We encountered a lot of bathrooms with holes in the floor covered with the usual toilet seats. The worst situation: the ferry across Hong Kong Bay with the toilets that emptied directly into the bay--the bay was about 6 inches from your rear. When the boat lurched, the water sloshed up through the hole all around you.:eek:

this is funny!!

i think it is more of an age thing than a gender thing. there are a ton of kids who won't poop at school. they will be absolutely miserable...dancing around, falling out of their seats, etc. and they just will not go to the toilet. one of my student's in the past was on a reinforcement program for pooping at school. he had starting taking medication to relieve constipation and just couldn't hold it all day without being completely miserable. and it is fairly common for kids to hold it for DAYS. one of the teachers still has to keep track of when her 10 yro daughter goes bc if she doesn't go for a few days, she turns into a b*tch.

I am usually at the point of death before I will use a public bathroom - ugh!! In college, I would definitely go to the bottom floor of the library to the bathroom in the far corner where NO one went -- I couldn't stand the group toilet thing in the dorm.

Mr. AXO Alum, my then boyfriend, and his roomies would have the daily "race" after dinner -- 6:01 pm to be exact...all four would head off to the bathroom and the first one back "won" -- won "what" exactly, I probably wouldn't have wanted to know!!!

Carnation....UGH! I would have exploded! I can't do porta potties, much less a hole in the floor!!

Maybe it is because I was watching an old Beavis & Butt-Head tape, but I have this vision of your brother just skipping through the field and taking a random dump. :)

I was like this when I was younger and it made my mother FRANTIC - the first time we went away on vacation, I didn't "eliminate" for a week. I have grown out of that particular childhood quirk.

When you have to go, there's no time to come down with a case of doodoophobia.

Luckily they have those things called "DOO DROPS". It's a solution that you drop before you unload that will kill the smell. It really works. It kills the smell, but unfortunately it won't hide the sound you might make when dropping the kids off at the pool.

I won't go in public places or friend's homes. Hotel rooms, my own home, parent's homes are all OK... I know makes me weird, but oh well such is life:rolleyes:

LMAO . . shuddup do they really have that ?? No more burning matches?

I'm serious James. I know Walgreens or your local drugstore should sell them. And they're really cheap too!

Forget that. One should be proud of the smell.

Ohhhh myyyy...

I am of the philosophy that "if you gotta go, you gotta go" - but (warning: possible TMI ahead) I always use one of those paper toilet seat covers, or at least toilet paper on the seat, if in a public restroom.

Carnation, I've been to Hong Kong and Singapore, and I know whereof you speak... :eek: I will never forget the look on my husband's face the first time he came out of a men's room in HK that had Asian-style toilets. "There were holes in the floor... that flushed!" LOL

lol
 

i never would have guessed this would have had the responce it's had........from now on, any burning questions i have, i might actually ask them ::laughs::

Ya know, I used to be like that...

then I started running college cross country (and to a lesser extent, outdoor track). after the first two weeks, it became apparent i had to get used to it or quit.

i do bring a supply of toliet seat covers to meets. they are convient. get 'em at target in the travel size.

Yeah...after living in a dorm and then the sorority house, you learn how to use the bathroom in semi-public. It was a hell of an adjustment, though! :p

OMG, I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe!

I get very nervous about this, I will admit. I can make myself nowadays, but I stress.

Warning, TMI ahead!
 

So I'm Christmas shopping tonight, and normally when I'm at the mall, when I have to use the bathroom I don't use the busy mall bathrooms because they're just plain NASTAY. I try to go in "nice" places like Macy's or Neimans or whatever.

So I go to Neiman Marcus to go take a leak. Someone runs into the bathroom and proceeds to do a number 2 and I'm like holy isht. It wasn't one of those discreet unloadings either. It was loud and proud and this person obviously had something bad to eat for dinner.

Let me tell you, it's hard to keep quiet and not laugh when an explosion comparable to that of Mt. St. Helens is going on in the stall next to you...in Neiman-freaking-Marcus no doubt. I thought I was going to throw up.

I finished my business, washed my hands, and ran out of that bathroom because I wanted to spare that person the humiliation of having to look me in the face.

Re: Warning, TMI ahead!
 

Me too!! Mr. AXO Alum is like "there are the mall bathrooms" and I'm like "nuh-huh....get me over to Dillards" -- and he'll say "but you are about to wee-wee on yourself, and Dillards is across the mall" -- so he laughs at me doing the wee-wee walk quickly as possible across the mall to get to a "cleaner" bathroom.

LMBO at the other part of your story, OTW -- reminds me of the horrible scene in Big Momma's House with her being loud and proud! :D

My first husband wouldn't go in public places, but he couldn't eat in restaurants either.

May those of you who can't go in public NEVER get Crohn's Disease! First thing I do when I go somewhere new is find out where the loo is. At work, I know which restrooms are the least used and try to go to those.

I can go at school provided I have to go BAD and the bathroom is in a far off corner with no one else in it. But I will NEVER EVER go at a friends (not even best friends) house or bf's house. I just can't. Even if I was dying, I'd rather like, fake sick and go home. I didn't realize other girls wouldn't go at bf's houses--- this poses quite a problem, no? It's so annoying. And they're _guys_ for crying out loud, poop doesn't faze most men in the least. It's us women who are afraid of it. Men would probably just laugh at us if then even cared!!! Hopefully by the time I get married (if ever) I will have outgrown this childishness!!

I generally avoid public restrooms, if I can help it, but not to the point where I won't just suck it up and deal when it becomes necessary. In my university experience, I've never shared a bathroom with more than 4 people at a time, so I guess I'm kind of spoiled there. I really don't have a problem going at other people's houses, unless their bathroom is kind of nasty (sadly, I've seen it).
I *really* have issues going anywhere when I know that someone's within hearing range. If it's only me and one other person in a very quite public restroom, I wait until they're washing their hands or have left. I don't know why...

I am on the list most of the time. I try my best not to go though. It just seems weird. However when I was dorming I had no choice but to go but when I knew other girls were around I would feel awkward about going so I'd wait.

My work has a NO #2 in the toilet policy - cuz our toilet backs up so easily.

ETA: I dispize public restrooms because they usually smell really bad and look worse. I thought as women we'd be cleaner, but obviously that only applies at home.

Okay, first a story: When I was a freshman, a student at my school died of a blockage because he hadn't poohed in a week. His intestines burst and the bacteria killed him or something, it was quite sudden and sad actually. But my parents, who are teachers there, got in the habit of checking up on my bathroom habits. How embarrassing is that for a 21 year old?

Anyways, I used to not be able to pooh anywhere that wasn't where I was living at the time. Then, I lived in a fraternity house for a year, and they had no qualms about picking the lock and coming in to take a shower while you're in there. But man, there were only two family style bathrooms in that house (one on each floor) and a stall style with (2 stalls in the basement), the line at parties was ridculous, because they only let people use the first floor. Once I really, really had to go, and since I lived there, I ran upstairs, but it was occupied. So, I ended up using the convenience store on the corner's bathroom, and my public restroom "perfromance anxiety" was cured.
