😒
To this day I still don’t shit in public bathrooms.
Why? Can you explain why? I took an baffled.
I guess it’s partly a desire for privacy and partly social anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, if I were about to shit myself I absolutely would use a public restroom. I’d just prefer to use my own bathroom.
Now matter how much you know that everyone shits, kids are fucking monsters and will never let you live it down, especially if you’re not “popular” or able to play into it (anxiety) or just tell the kid to stfu (anxiety, size, intimidation).
Christ people are bathroom shy. I’m like yeah genius, this is where you take a shit. Where do you go on the floor of your kitchen?
Wait, you folks had stall doors?
No joke, real story, in second grade the restrooms didn’t even have stall doors.
Catholic school?
Damn, that’s simply cruel. Despite the fact that kids would hang on the doors and pound like howler monkeys.
Even my high school had bathroom doors… it’s criminal they expect teenagers to shit with the door wide open.
Couldn’t have doors in high school, we might try to smoke a joint in there after all.
That’s the stupid logic only a school board would have.
Damn
The school trends that made me not use public bathrooms.
kicking the doors of the person shitting.
Throwing wet toilet paper at the person shitting.
Pouring water over the stall.
Stealing the shoes of the person shitting.
Pushing people into the urinal wall.
Pissing on the floor.
Turn the lights off so the person in the stall is left in pitch black.
Sadly, all of that would happen if you weren’t careful.
There’s no being careful. The only way to avoid that stuff happening is to not shit at school or have your boys stand guard.
My kid wouldn’t go to the bathroom at all during middle school. Said he would rather hold it.
Your sons smart. He’s better off avoiding potential bullying from the older kids.
I was a college professor. I can tell you from experience that young people are super freaked s out public bathrooms. It’s bizarre to me.
Assholes flushing urinals with their foot! Wtf! I put my fingers on that!
Sheesh just wash your hands, what’s the big deal?
Most of us knew where our hands had been at that age, not to mention most don’t wash their hands.
I think there is a significant difference between US and EU bathroom doors.
Doors?
No, seriously, the only time I had a toilet with a door in public school was in kindergarten. After that, no doors on the toilets.
I only held it in at school because my parents taught me that public restrooms are extremely dirty. It took a while to get over my phobia of public restrooms, but I needed to since it’s gotten harder to hold it in (and it’s bad to do so anyway). Reading some of the replies here, I knew kids were often psychos but sheesh.
Looking back, it tended to ease off in high school. At least for me.
“Is that you, [name]?” (Name guessed correctly)
Well, shit.
That’s an awkward shit.
Hit 'em with “Want to join me?”
“You want me to leave it for you when I’m done?”
That’s how you get them to throw balled up wet paper towels.
Then you can throw wet tp back or for real crazies, poop tp
You’ve got guts, but I’m not sure it’s wise to antagonize the sociopaths who would be harassing lol.
