Very Odd Restroom Etiquette Question

I feel kinda silly posting this here, but I'm certainly not going to ask those I know in real life... but I'm curious.

OK.. let's say you're sitting on a toilet at a public restroom someplace. Fancy restaurant let's say. You know that what you are about to do will be... noisy and smelly. Just then... another patron walks into the restroom, unzips and starts doing his thing.

Do you:
1) Wait on doing your own business until he leaves, so as not to offend him w/ the noise and smell that will follow;

2) Pay no attention to the other fellas in the restroom and carry on as normal;

3) Try extra hard to be as noisy as possible, hoping to get an "oh GROSS!" reaction?

If you answered 2 or 3... do you find yourself trying to contain laughter? Let's face it... toilet humor is pretty popular it seems and... well personally, I once busted out laughing after a particularly noisy outburst in a crowded restroom. I could hear two other people trying to stifle their own laughs. So... yeah.

really?!? damn... ATOT really has covered all the bases! I was so positive this hadn't surfaced before.

Oh, believe me, it has surfaced a few times. I think the mods will likely flush this one too.
 
I'm pretty shy about my pooping in public restrooms, particularly when I have explosive diarrhea. I never really minded the dorm bathrooms in college though.

I'll do it, I just try to do it when no one else is in the bathroom. At work it's tough to tell if someone is in the handicapped stall until you're already in the non-handicapped stall.

My wife is worse, she won't poop at work at all, she'll go home if she really has to. But she can go days without doing it.

i don't poop in public restrooms.... ever.

 
2, and no.

Everyone poops, pooping is normal. Sure, it's 'gross', but there's no need to damage your colon by keeping it in on the odd chance that urinal man will not be expecting someone in a stall to be pooping.
 
Look at it this way. You're in a restroom. That's where people do smelly business. If its too stinky, the guy will hurry and leave. Option #2.

Where's the poll?

this could all be fixed if we had public restrooms strictly for #1 and restrooms strictly for #2. 😛

or european style restrooms wher yeou pay a fee and have an exorbinantly clean and spacious toilet at your disposal with no disturbances like the munich trainstation in germany.
 
2. It's a bathroom. If he can use a cellphone at the table, you can take a noisy sh!t in a bathroom stall.

Do you poop in the bathrooms at work?

If I gotta go I'm going. I don't care where I am.
 
The worst is when there are 5 other open stalls, and someone comes in to the stall that is right next to you :disgust:
 
1. if it isn't going to cause to much discomfort. However some times you just have to let her rip.
