I'm scared of public bathrooms!

<p>have you ever had phys ed? Gone to a beach or a public pool? </p>

<p>Dude, get a single if you're that paranoid. But seriously, no one is gonna be lookin at your pee-pee...ok.</p>

<p>my mom took a Shxt in a public restroom in China like 20 yrs ago and she said there weren't any dividers, and people face each other. Bascially meaning that two people face each other as they take dumps. But that's 20 yrs ago, so Chinese people don't hate me. China is very very modern now.</p>

<p>i despise public bathrooms too. however, I (im a guy) only use the urinals in the HS bathroom, and would never think of sitting on a school toilet. it comes from elementary school where peeing on toilet seats was common practice.</p>

<p>my body is programmed to go at home, and it comes as soon as i get home. </p>

<p>and betterday, i know wat you mean by chinese bathrooms coz i went to school in china 10 or so years ago. the school had no toilets, only a metal trench. wat happens is we had to crouch with one foot on each side of the trench and sometimes literally face the other person's rear. it changed a lot, and im sure there's toilets now tho. </p>

<p>but you still have to bring your own toilet paper to public bathrooms or buy it outside the door</p>

<p>Thanks for this thread - I needed a good laugh. Kind of gross but really funny.</p>

<p>LOL and thanks for the extra "very"... so I could be really really sure we had a joke going on ;)</p>

<p>I guess this is a natural reaction. Mother Nature will sooner or later correct the issue, then it'll be no big deal. Everyone tends to need to do the same things.</p>

<p>Maybe this is a reason to reinstate the draft...hmmm.</p>

<p>At one of my lecture halls there is a handicapped bathroom, very large and single use and you can lock it. But the thing is there is already a set of M/F bathrooms right next to the entrance of the lecture hall. I only found out about this towards the end of the semester. The regular bathrooms are somewhat nasty, but the handicapped one is really clean and the fixtures look new. The only thing is that unless you walk down a short corridor you would never know about this handicapped bathroom.</p>

<p>I don't like public bathrooms, either. At my school, the stalls are too small and they only cover you from the neck down and the knee up. If i had designed the stalls, I would make sure the "door" was long enough to completer hide you and far enough from the shower so that you can take your clothes and stuff inside with you ( I am never secure leaving my clothes/towel outside for someone to pull a prank or something). Also, the toilet dispenser makes it ridiculously hard to extract long sheets. Boy, do I miss the privacy of having a bathroom all to yourself! i can't wait to go home next month, and finally relieve the comfort that a bathroom provides.</p>

<p>Public restrooms are nasty. What I usually do is find a building in each part of campus that I frequent that has a clean, low traffic bathroom. That way, if I ever find myself needing to go, I'm never a short walk away from one. </p>

<p>That said, if you really have to go, do a spot check to see if the toilet is flushed and use whichever is cleanest if you have more than one choice. If you don't close your eye and nose and preemptively flush the toilet as soon as you get near it. Use a makeshift toilet seat cover with toilet paper and you'll be</p>

<p>oh man this thread is so funny :P</p>

<p>question-- this may sound incredibly stupid, but do most people change in the shower stall? in the bathroom? in their room after showering? Idk, but I don't actually know the common answer to this question and thought it's be something that could fit into this thread...</p>

<p>changing inside the stall would be messy since most are too small. You leave your clothes outside and hang your towel over the stall. Then when you are done, you can quickly put on the clothes you came in with. if you want to change outfits, you would have to do so in your dorm.</p>

<p>Grow up. How old are you, 15? You sure act like it, since you have to call people names.</p>

<p>no, the students usually change in the bathrooms/lockers near the shower area or infront of everyone if they're not immature and affraid that theres Les**<strong><em>/f</em></strong> around them.</p>

<p>Can I get a female opinion on this if possible?</p>

<p>Idk-- I mean, I don't know anyone that changes in public, but perhaps this is different in college?</p>

<p>I don't know. I think public bathrooms are fun. I mean the shower is the best time of the day. If I had a lot of friends in there at the same time, maybe we could break out in song.</p>

<p>Cleanliness isn't my pet peeve. Lukewarm water is. I hate it when a hall has lukewarm water. </p>

<p>I just bring a towel to the shower and carry my dirty clothes with me back to the room. If I was on a coed floor it might be different, but there is nothing more fantastic than men roaming the halls scantly clad together. It reminds me of an older, simpler time. Ahhhh the good ol primeval days.</p>

<p>Use a port-a-potty in your room and empty it at 4AM when no one's looking. If you're roommate catches you doing this -- or smells it -- empty it in his (her?) bed or, alternatively, stuff him down the garbage chute.</p>

<p>Alternatively, you could stand in the stall and pull a Borat -- i.e. plastic bags that you throw away. Don't try to flush the bags 'cause they'll probably jam up the works.</p>

<p>I hope you work out your phobia.</p>
