Look. I understand. You gotta poop when you gotta poop. Everyone does it and not everyone can time it just right so that they are doing it in the comfort of their own home. Hell, I’ve pooped in public restrooms before. Not very often, but it has happened. (Strange but true fact: It has only ever happened when I was shopping with my mother. Obviously my mother loves to shop with me.)
As I was saying, I understand. I will not hold it against you if you have to go poo in a public restroom.
But for the love of all that is holy, would you FLUSH THE DAMN TOILET?
Also, what is up with using the FIRST stall in the restroom? Every damn bathroom I walk into has a big ol’ turd sitting in the toilet of the first stall. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
I was at the movie theater last night and before the movie I went in one of the two women’s restrooms and the first stall had a poopie in it. After the movie I went in the OTHER women’s bathroom. The first stall? A big ol’ pile of poo in that one as well.
Seriously, people. When you go number two in public you should ALWAYS pick a middle stall so that you are less noticeable.
Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt to FLUSH.

Ew, gross. I hate walking into a restroom like that. It’s even worse now that Julia is potty trained. When we’re out in public and she has to go, she HAS TO GO. I can’t just tell her, “This restroom is too messy.” So, I end up suspending her a few inches above the potty and then it’s just…it’s just not how I like to do things.
I ALWAYS flush. Even when it takes four or five times and I’ve got a live commentator.

For me there’s nothing like a trip to Home Depot to loosen up the old bowels. Every frickin’ time I walk in there I have to crap like nobody’s business! It’s getting so I avoid the store because it’s embarrassing to walk in and then have to put off my errand while I go find the potty. Something strange in the air.

I work in a building full of science and healthcare professionals and you would think they would know better and fush, wipe up their pee-spills and wash their hands, but sadly…no.
I once read that the first stall is the dirtiest, so I never use it.

I truly think we were separated at birth. I rarely, if ever poop in public. If possible, I poop alone in my house, like when everyone is either at school or work. Weird? I guess but I have a thing about farting too.

Interesting observation about the first stall. I would probably choose the last stall for an unavoidable hunch session, because it would be far, far away (by perception, anyway) and there would only be one common wall, thereby cutting the risk of having a neighbor in half.

Gee, I’ve noticed this to be true in public school restrooms, too. Amazing. And disgusting.

i like the washrooms in most casinos; when you stand up it automatically flushes. So thats not a problem there. What is a problem is women who pee on the seat…i guess they’re hovering over the seat so as to not touch it for fear of germs, and they pee on it and dont clean it up. One casino tried out a new thing…when you stood up a new paper seat cover would wrap around the entire seat. That helped but must have been too expensive to use because they soon disappeared. Some restaurants here also have this only you push a button to make a new seat cover wrap around.
I quite often use the handicapped stall esp. in the malls though i’m not handicapped. I figure if theres no line up and nobody else in there why not pee (or poo) in spacious comfort. The handicapped stall is usually the cleanest and the best for security purposes too.
