Using public bathrooms going #2 (may be NSFW)

[Yankees_Pride]

Over the years I have had some deep thoughts while sitting on the throne. Sometimes on my throne sometimes on public thrones. But I've always wanted to get second options or thoughts. Here are a few of my questions and responses. I would also like to hear your responses or if you have any other quandaries.

Regarding public restrooms
1) I always use the paper toilet seat covers, minimum of 3. If these are not available I use lots of TP to cover the seat. Is this something you do as well?

2) before using the paper toilet seat covers I wipe the seat with toilet paper. And the I also wipe the floor in front of the seat. This one I don't think to many people think about. If you look down there is a ton of pee there and when you drop your pants that pee gets on your pants.

3) I wipe until the brown turn red. Lol j/k. But I heard that once and thought it was clever. I do wipe multiple times until I feel very clean. Sometimes needing to flush multiple times so as to not clog the toilet.

4) do you courtesy flush while sitting? I don't. I can't imagine that water splashing up on my butt.

5) and I precursor this with an apology. I'm sorry. I use the handicap stall whenever possible. I am not handicapped, I am not big at all, actually I'm a little guy 5'10 180. But I love my space and enjoy a sink in my stall.

6) do you stand to wipe? Gross I know but always wondered where I picked my habit up from. I stand, I can't imagine reaching back while sitting. (Also another reason to be in the handicap stall). I also generally dab my whoohaa first to get and drips off of it.

Well that's it for now. Just some random thoughts as I sit here at work in our handicap stall letting out a good morning poo.

You would probably really benifit from those wet wipes they sell for adults.

I do not use public restrooms for such endevors.

I probably pooped ten times in my life in a public restroom. Most of those events happening in the last 3 or 4 years (age is a sphincter killer).

I agree with most of what you have stated. ��

I refuse to poop anywhere but home

In few instances, I basically poop standing

I wipe standing

I worked at a GameStop in a not-so-great mall for six years. The suite we had was dirt cheap rent as we did not have a bathroom in the suite. Therefore, we had to use public restrooms if we had to go. These six years trained me to be able to use the bathroom anywhere.

I've gotten myself into enough emergencies (damn you hangovers on travel days) that I can pretty much go anywhere... and yes I stand to wipe. I can't imagine reaching back while sitting. What kind of savage does that?

[hairysasquatch]

Reduced control of my bowels with age has led me to see many public restrooms as oases. I've hit just about every one on I-90 between Buffalo and Syracuse. And probably several dozen different upstate NY hockey rinks. Early morning, hot coffee, getting out of car after a long drive - usually 3 minutes or less before the reactor core melts down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I took a dump on a Long Island Rail Road train during rush hour. No toilet phases me now.

Who stands to wipe after the age of 8? That's just weird!

Pro-tip: If you don't have any baby wipes handy, spit in the wad of toilet paper before you wipe. Helps in those cases of cheap, sandpaper toilet paper.

I used to be like this. When I became diabetic and started taking Metformin which gives you diarrhea. I learned to go when you have to anyplace. There are times when there was no sitting on a toilet because it was disgusting . Go to some of these foreign countries where there is no toilet just a hole in the ground, I found a new respect for my toilet after those trips.

Or the foreign countries who don't flush the toilet paper but put it in the garbage...

Yep. No trips to Canada for this guy.

A guy walks into a pet store with his little boy, maybe 9 or 10 years old. There's one employee on duty at the time. The kid wanders off in the store while the father is asking the employee about filtration equipment. The father decides to buy a powerful pump, and the employee takes it back to the counter to ring it up. While he's doing that, the father rushes over to the other side of the store. The employee can't see what's going on due to stuff in the way, but the father is yelling "Noooo" at the boy. As the employee is moving to try to see what happened, the father bends down, comes up holding the kid up by his shoulder, and runs out of the store.
The employee thinks the kid was trying to grab fish or break something, so he heads over to that area. The lid on a large tank of tropical fish has been pushed to one side. There don't appear to be any missing fish, but there are 2 sizable floaters in the tank. Fish are nibbling at them.
[I wasn't there. I heard about it afterward.]

Sitters Vs. Standers ? The Great Wipe Hope

Most important you need to put toilet paper in the toilet before your poo hits the water so you don't get back splash!

I was the kid in high school that went home during lunch just to poop. So no, I don't use public toilets to deuce. And it has nothing to do with germs. It's an anxiety/paranoia thing.

I still can't stand when I'm at the urinal...I ALWAYS use the last one at the furthest end...and someone skips all the way down and uses the one next to me. I get all weirded out.

I really value my privacy.

[longisland]

I'll poop anywhere. I don't care.

Americans are strange about their poops. Like there is something insanely private or "magical" going on.

It's just poop and it comes out of your butt. I know that is shocking to some people.
