Dorm bathrooms...

<p>Okay, in dorm bathrooms when there are like 2 toilet stalls, what do I do if I reallly like my privacy while I'm going to the bathroom. Do other guys not really care if they make noise or anything?</p>

<p>After a while, no one really cares. You get used to it, don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Have you ever been in a public restroom before?</p>

<p>Yes I have. Only to really pee</p>

<p>Are you talking about . . . pooping or peeing (both)?</p>

<p>I guess hold it in until the other guy leaves? I don’t know =&lt;/p>

<p>It helps if you have one of those electric hand dryers in your dorm bathroom. They come in handy when you want to cover up any sounds (grunting, plopping, farting, etc.)</p>

<p>Okay . . . for some reason this thread is making me laugh. I’m sorry.</p>

<p>This kind of makes me laugh also Mushaboom lol. I waste water when it comes to diarrhea so my roommate doesn’t have to listen to everything since his desk is right infront of the door almost.</p>

<p>The key is to scout out that glorious, clean, bright, little-known bathroom on your campus sometime during your first week. Or failing that, lose the first three adjectives and focus on the little-known part.</p>

<p>You stop worrying about it pretty quick. I did anyway. If some guy hears you letting one loose today you’ll end up hearing him next week, so it doesn’t really matter.</p>

<p>Paging Dr. Freud… Dr. Sigmund Freud… Stall 1</p>

<p>Time a flush with a plop. Problem solved.</p>

<p>i got lucky, we don’t have stalls. we have fully closing toilet rooms.</p>

<p>i do know what youre talking about though and there is some literature you can read that may help, its called “Everybody Poops”</p>

<p>always wear flip flops in the bathroom to be safe</p>

<p>^ how would that help?</p>

<p>^ you dont end up getting fungus on your feet or have your skin exposed to the chemicals used to clean the bathrooms (assuming that they are cleaned)</p>

<p>^The original question was about privacy, not cleanliness (of course, wearing flip flops in the showers is always a good idea).</p>

<p>^ I knew that (no i didnt). lol. yea privacy, always either close your door and have your key with you in the bathroom or establish trust with your suitemates/quadmates (trust me, ive been burned by this many times)</p>

<p>^ haha. The OP is asking about communal bathrooms. He’s concerned about being in the bathroom at the same time as another floor mate while taking a poop. He feels embarrassed about . . . “sounds”. You know, the usually “plopping” when dropping your kids off at the pool.</p>

<p>I still think this thread is funny. Of all the things to be worried about in college . . . =D</p>

<p>I am glad I am deaf. :D</p>

<p>I always try and find an empty bathroom. i.e. if someone is in one of the stalls on my floor, I’ll go up or down a floor to their bathrooms. Usually one of those is empty and clean. it’s kind of unusual, with all the people living in the dorm, it doesn’t seem like the bathrooms are ever crowded.</p>

<p>Seriously. I have never had to shower with anyone else in the room by pure coincidence.</p>
