You know they have bathrooms outside of the locker room.

where?

Ussaly by the drinking fountains or on the walls near the workout equipment or you can ask the main desk/sign in place.

It beats 30 mins of watching some guy "clean" himself. Hell they might have even kicked him out.

No 6 mins of waiting, and 24 minutes doing ab work outs with a bladder about to explode.

It's still totally weird to me because I can't imagine why anyone would have this problem. Adam Corolla once urinated on a wallet in a prop urinal on stage (I think it was The Man Show) and many of the audience members expressed shock that he was able to do that in front of the audience. Certainly not the normal shock value the stunt was meant to produce. That was the first time he or I had ever heard of such an inhibition.

I'm not one to share the piss-troughs at the Big House or Joe Louis Arena, I opt for a stall even if I have to wait a couple minutes for it. So yeah, I can somewhat relate. Usually only happens after drinking a bunch of beer. I think it's fairly common and probably more prone to males approaching middle age but I have no clue.

It happens to me sometimes as well, even if its my wife in the same room. Its actually very annoying. For drugs tests I end up drinking A LOT of water before I even try.

Yeah, that happens to me fairly often. I can pee in front of anyone if I'm drunk enough but if I'm completely sober I can't pee with anybody around most of the time. If I really have to go, I can force myself but I have to sit down to do it.

It's weird because it only started happening in high school. Before that I had no problem whatsoever with peeing while people were around.

This sometimes happens to me as well. I find it odd because it started only in high school; I have a picture of myself when I am around 8 pissing in front of people. I can't pinpoint what the hell is causing this mentally.

It's easier to piss when drunk because you are relaxed, so I guess some of us are high strung?

Happened to me for a drug test. It was a tiny little bathroom with a paper thin door. Two female nurses were right outside the door and for some reason I just couldn't do it. It must have taken me 10 minutes to get out a few drops. Then the nurse told me it probably wasn't enough for the test and I would have to pee more.

I guess it seems to happen every once in awhile in situations where someone, women in particular, can hear me. I don't know why but that bothers me. so I just flush the toilet at first or run the faucet to help open the starting gate, then I'm fine.

But if I really have to go, like after drinking a few beers or after holding it a long time then theres nothing that could stop it.

Don't be so shy. No one is going to laugh at your tiny package, atleast not to your face. ;)

Used to be bladder shy at urinals when I was younger. I would always wait for a stall to open so I would definitely be able to take a leak. But once I hit my mid 20's, I stopped having problems with it and could go pretty much anytime, anywhere.

stage fright

i think everyone gets it now an then.... especially when your just about to go and someone busts into the trough next to you, it throws your concentration.

also, with urinals, people will leave at least one urinal between you and them, or if its a trough a huge gap.....if this isnt possible they'll plug for the cubicals, and if thats not possible i've known people specifically wait until a urinal/space with plenty of room either side is free.

guy at work did it to me, he comes in, im on the urinal, there is one more urinal next to me....instead he inexplicably washes his hands until i left.

it happens to me sometimes...ill just stand there with nothing coming out until theres no one next to me. i find beig drunk and busting for a wee tends to cure this

A fair amount of people have it. It is pretty common problem with a lot of prescription drugs. I have the problem due to that otherwise its not really bad. As long as you dont become that guy who cant even use a urinal and has to use a stall you will survive.

I'm judging you.

Everyone around is judging you. Just think about that next time you need to go.
