One thing I REALLY hate, is going poo in public restrooms. It seriously makes me anxious. If I'm not home when the urge hits, I hold it until I start getting the chills and know that if I don't go RIGHT THEN, disaster will hit. I just hate being next to strangers, knowing that they might be able to smell it, hear it drop...you know all the nasty details. I also hate using the really thin toilet paper.
Whenever this happens and I do have to use a public restroom for this reason, I also wonder why it's so embarrassing. Come on, everyone poops right? It's not like some nasty disease that I want to keep secret, so why do I get so anxious about it? I don't know the answer to this question, and no matter how many times I try to convince myself that it's normal, I still hate pooping in public restrooms. Anyone else feel the same? :)

You did it! and yes, I do have that problem. That is one reason I would get so constipated at Oakcrest because I would wait a week,and wait until almost everyone had gone home so I could be alone in the bathroom. It's true.

Just plug your ears. If you don't hear it, it didn't happen, right? Works like a charm for me!
Ya know what is really funny?!?!? Men don't have that problem. I have discussed this topic numerous times with my husband and he says that tons of guys crap in public restrooms and don't think twice. Women are very different! One time I went into a public restroom and I had to go, BAD! Anyways, I didn't think anyone was in there but I wanted to check so I looked under the stall and right when I looked another woman was looking. We made direct eye contact and just hurried and sat up. It was silent. Needless to say, I hurried and flushed without going and left the bathroom ASAP! (after washing my hands of course!) LOL! By the way Becky, I am not sure if I ever sent you permission to view my blog. It is set to private. If you want to view it, e-mail me at allylc23@yahoo.com!
Oh Becky!! This made me laugh so hard! Thank you for keeping your Oakcrest word and posting about what I suggested! I have to say that I agree with you about going #2 in public! I sometimes even have trouble going #1 if someone else is in the restroom (because I think I get afraid that a fart might slip out, and that'd be embarrassing). I am always amazed by people who just sit down and go without a thought, even when they're loud!! Also, I had a problem when I first entered the MTC because of my bathroom shyness, but out of necessity I overcame it. Welp, see ya later!
I know a ton of people that have this "problem" - although I wouldn't say it is a real problem -Boys and girls both - I just think people feel more comfortable doing their "thing" at home in their own space. But I do agree with you and have been known to hold it a good while!
Just start humming and talking to yourself...people will get really scared and vacate the premises!

After kids, you get over it...swear! It took two for me.
Ha ha. This is hilarious! I used to be so embarrassed to even pee in public because I thought I peed for an abnormally long time and was worried that people would think I was a long-peeing freak. So there was no way I would poop in public. But then, I don't know when I realized it, I decided that everybody poops and sometimes it is loud and sometimes it stinks and sometimes you let a big old fart first that echoes in the bowl, but I would rather do that then have a stomach ache.
And I won't lie, my favorite public place to poop is Walmart. It just seems right. Did it just this morning. Awesome.
