Performance anxiety
 

In the bathroom, that is.

I wonder if anyone else has this problem: I can't pee in public washrooms, or when I know people can hear me.

Not that I'm prudish, or think it's "gross" - I just can't physically do it. If I'm in a washroom in a restaurant, for example, I have to wait until everyone leaves, or someone runs the water or hand dryer.

I also hate going to people's houses where their washroom is adjacent to a main room.

I can't even FATHOM people that can carry on conversations while sitting in separate toilet stalls.

This is an issue that plagues me on a regular basis, and is almost a crippling inconvenience.

Anyone else have performance issues?

i prefer it if no one is there and if anyone is then like you i have to wait for a hand dryer or whatever. some people, especially men just dont care and its really sickening to hear someone strain and groan while you are in the one next to them.

in sweden there are actually double toilets so that you can sit next to someone. that is my idea of hell.

I don't know what it is with this board and excretion-related questions, but alright. I'm afraid that the piss will make a loud noise and it'll sound to others like I'm pouring a bottle of water into the toilet.

Yeah.

Just be gross about it. Pee and sigh really loudly, let a fart slip out or two. People will be so repulsed by it they won't want to pay attention to you and will exit the bathroom ASAP.

I have no qualms with public pissing or shitting. I do piss too much, but that's a sign of healthy kidneys according to my doctor.

pissing isn't a problem but taking a dump is a different matter. espescially in those public bathrooms when there's someone sitting next to you

well, here is a thematic appropriate joke i already posted on the old board, but noone was interested

--

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other toilett saying:
"Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
"Doin' just fine!"

And the other person says:
"So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.
"Can I come over?"



Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just
be polite and end the conversation with them
"No........I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the person say nervously...

"Listen, I'll have to call you back.
There's an idiot in the other stall
who keeps answering all my questions

Oh my God that's funny. I have to do that the next time I squeeze a dookie in a public bathroom.

that's hilarious!

the one time i've ever played on stage my hands were shaking so bad, i could barely hold a guitar

I'm not a fan of using urinals...Seems to me that it's something that should have been left behind in the 19th century. And it sometimes ruins my flow if I am going for a piss and someone starts talking to me. Even at home when someone shouts to hurry up because they need a piss...the knowledge that I have to hurry fucks up the process.

I can have a shit in a public toilet OK though. As long as they aren't to horrible looking.

does anyone else have a problem with pissing in airplane bathrooms?... i'm terrified some major turbulence will occur and i'll piss all over myself...

I hold it on airplanes during 8 hour flights. I will die of a ruptured bladder before I piss on an airplane.

One of my absolute pet peeves is when someone jiggles the door handle while you're in the bathroom. Totally ruins the flow.

i hate it when there is hair on the toilet. that just sickens me beyond belief. i always said that if i ever did that then i would flog myself in public.

I usually skip the urinals and piss in a toilet, I never #2 in public bathrooms, unless it's an emergency.

That's funny.
I never do #2 in any public place. I always pee in t a stall. It's much more comfortable that way.
I try not to use the bathroom at all during school because some assholes who think it's funny will bang on the stall door when your in there. I hate that.

Public bathrooms are the worst, especially the ones at school. People spread shit all over the walls and piss on the seat and leave the toilet seat clogged. I just avoid them all together.

Hehhe, i was once peeing in a quiet toilet. There was me and another person in a cubical somewhere else......i was peeing and next thing you hear is the loudest, wettest, grunt ever produced by a human...i couldnt help myself....i broke out in fits of giggles and coulnt control my stream of piss. I managed to pee all over the seat and back part....omg it was hilarious.
