How much privacy do YOU need to take a crap?

I have a bit of a problem, and I'm curious how common it is. It's really hard for me to relax enough to go poop if there are a lot of sounds or people around or near me. If I'm home alone, without anybody else nearby, I can go without much difficulty at all. Currently, I live in a smaller house, with 4 other adults, and I find it VERY difficult to find some quiet time in order to do the deed. I live close to my mom's house, and I often end up holding in my dump for a number of hours until I stop by her house to do my business.

I had a job where I was on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I got into somewhat of a routine where I would wait till I got home to poop. It generally wasn't a problem, and the urge didn't really hit me til I got home. The times it did hit me on the road, I would generally go to a fancy hotel (I drove in/around the Disney area), find an out of the way bathroom, and do the deed there. If someone came into the bathroom while I was in the stall, I would generally halt what I was doing and wait for them to leave before I could relax again enough to finish.

I can't imagine what it would be like for me if I ever had to go to prison. Having to poop with the front of my cell completely exposed to passing guards or whoever, and all the sounds, yiikes... I'm glad I'm a goody two-shoes for the most part, so that isn't likely to ever happen.

So, how weird am I? Does anybody else have a somewhat similar problem, even if not to such a degree?

Your bathroom habits should be yours alone.

While I PREFER to be solitary in my chore, when nature calls, the blue jeans fall...I can take care of business in a crowded public restroom, in a porta-john, on your back porch if need be...

I never thought about that as a crime deterrent, but if it works.....

This. Having some peace and quiet while doing my business is nice, but when nature calls I'll use whatever I have to to do the deed.

Join the military , that will go away.

This.

I can crap literally anywhere, at any time, on command if need be. Woods, open stall with people watching (boot camp sucks), public restroom, portapotty, into the open hatch of an old ford escort at the junkyard - wiping my ass with the floormats, and even quietly in my own home with no distractions or possibility of discovery.
