<p>I've had my own bathroom my whole life, and now I share a communal bathroom with about 20 girls or so. I've adjusted to the tiny shower stalls, having to take a flimsy shower caddy, the flip flops, the walk of shame down the hall in just a towel, etc. </p>
<p>BUT there's one thing I have not adjusted to....and that's going #2. Seriously, how do other people do this? There's never any privacy...someone is always in the bathroom, and it's so embarassing to do this when it feels like everyone else in the bathroom knows what you're doing!</p>
<p>Buy a copy of “Everyone Poops” and read it through and through. Good literature, that stuff.</p>
<p>All kidding aside… are there bathrooms in your dorm where fewer people go? Can you mask the sound if someone else is showering? Also, remember that if people don’t see you as you walk in, they generally don’t know who you are as you go.</p>
<p>Also, lots of halls are kind enough to have the unwritten, unsaid rule of “If a person is in serious digestive distress, evacuate the room for everyone’s sake.”</p>
<p>I don’t understand why people are so embarrassed to take a dump. For me, its the shower and naked stuff I’d be hesitant about. …but maybe its because I’ve had more than my own share of pooping in public toilets when I was young and lactose intolerant. =/</p>
<h1>2 is not really something to worry about :)</h1>
<p>Now #3 on the other hand – :shudders: – I have to wait until the bathroom is cleared or wait until that one person finally goes in the shower stall and turns on the water.</p>
<p>Try using a robe? I’m bringing a robe with me to college! I’d feel more comfortable walking down the hall using a robe, rather than a towel (that someone could easily pull or something)–less revealing. Maybe you can take showers earlier in the morning or later in the night?</p>
<p>haha i always waited till it was a random time of day. i used the visitors bathroom at times. Yeah, but the walk of shame for me is when i take a poop and go to wash my hands and there’s someone washing their hands who heard the whole thing…uhhh awkward moment. anywhoo i usually find another bathroom or pretend it wasnt me, like act totally normal and wash my hands nonchalantly, maybe even say hi. lol</p>
<p>wow i agree totally with you. Last year when i lived on campus, i hated going #2 in the dorm bathroom but something that had to be done. I normally just waited for no one to be in there or would go if someone was in the shower. idk not a big fan of using the bathroom with someone else in it so now i live off campus and that solves that problem.</p>
<p>I walk to the bathroom. Lock the stall door. Pull down my pants and underwear. Sit. Let it all out. Wipe, flush, wash my hands, and leave.</p>
<p>Seriously guys, what’s wrong with you that you have to ask this question? It’s pooping. Everyone does it, and sometimes it’s smelly and makes noises. Get over it. It’s nothing undignified or something to be embarrassed about. </p>
<p>Do you honestly think you’re hiding anything? Gonna convince everyone else that you don’t defecate? :rolleyes: Jeez. I’ll repeat: Everybody poops. You do too. We all know it. Get over it.</p>
<p>And really, walk of shame down the hall in a towel? Seriously?</p>
<p>OP no one cares about what you’re doing in the bathroom stop being so self centered. Just go and get out. And if people laugh at any sounds or give you looks or anything, they need to grow up. It’s something everyone does.</p>
