Depends how crowded the bathroom is. I've found that airport bathrooms are great for letting loose because there's always at least 5 other people doing the same.

Be an OTR truck driver, you'll get over your fear of shitting anywhere, anytime! I'll crap anywhere now.

Then just about every girk I know is a freak.

Girls are weird about stuff like that. I've known girls who CAN NOT even go #1 without running the water or turning on the shower because they are so afraid someone might hear them pee.

I usually turn on the water too if I'm using the bathroom at someone's house.

nope if i am already started then i have to finish up.

i normally look for a CQ (clean & quiet) if i have to do a public #2, but when you gotta go you gotta go.

at work, i like an empty bathroom to do my business. if i walk in and see feet, i usually come back in 10 mins. only 2 stalls in there mang

I always yell at folks that do this when I'm in the stall.

The bathroom is the designated area for shitting, farting, and pissing. I don't refrain from doing any of the above regardless of who's there, and I don't expect anyone to refrain for my sake.

I don't hold back unless I feel it's going to be especially repulsive... and I do it for the other people, not for myself. (We're talking like "I had wings for lunch, the all you can eat buffet for dinner and I'm topping it off with drunk shits")

... but if I walk in to a bathroom and someone in the next stall seizes up for fear of making sounds or smells, I will take my sweet time just to put them through agony. The only way they will learn to stop being a girl is trial by fire, and after a good five minutes you will likely emerge a real man.

Are there 2 girls involved?

Oh, just a little something I do once a week around here called a "Naked Tea Party". Got my teacup here. Now all I need is a teabag. That something that interests you, my friend?

haha...this thread reminded me of boot camp

While in boot camp, you take a dump in a stall with no door. At first you are freaked out, by the time you leave, the "shitter room" is basically the social place to hang out, take a dump, and chillax with friends.

Me too....I actually go down to another floor with a little used bathroom. I can't STAND people coming in. I hush up like a teenager hiding from Jason in a Friday the 13th movie when someone comes in.

That said, I'll either hold off on activities until they leave, or be as quiet as I can about it..

I will wait until they leave to emerge from the stall, though.

Why would you change from what you were doing before they came in? You're already in the stall, so what does it matter? What if the person decides to hang out in the restroom for the next hour, are you going to wait that long before you leave? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

I feel bad for those who voted number one. Especially if they are in there at the same time.

Then nobody will poop! Their intestines will be backed up with feces! SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE!

I have a friend that literally HAS to be naked in order to go #2. He says he cant go unless he feels comfortable and that means being naked. I asked him about when he goes in public places or at a friends house and he says he lifts his shirt up over his shoulders hanging around his neck and instead of taking his pants completely off, he just takes off one leg.

I tend to make less noise when others come in, but I don't bother to wait for them to leave. I mean, at this point I'm a senior and if a freshman can't handle the smell of my shit, he can get a swirly.
