1. Yes, I'm pee shy...

On long trips I'll avoid using the restroom if there are many people. Makes driving quite uncomfortable.

7. There's a simple mind trick that cures that

Do a mathematical calculation at those moments. Even something as simple as just adding two numbers together.

[WillParkinson]

8. Can't do it...

Just the sounds of someone else in the bathroom ruins my thought processes. (Not that there was a lot there to work with in the first place, but...)

2. I hate public restrooms

a close cemetery is so much cleaner...

[pokerfan]

3. Only when people fail to observe urinal etiquette

Then we got problems...

4. Oh yeah. I've checked into hotels to avoid using truck stop restrooms.

:)

5. It depends.

Peeing, no. But pooping when someone else is in there is TOTALLY out of the question. My body just won't do it. (I've been constipated for DAYS while traveling for this reason.)

Also, as an aside? I am a woman who simply does not understand why other women take so long in the can. Pull down your pants, piss, wipe, change your "products" if it's that time, pull your pants back up, wash your hands and go. Why would that EVER take longer than five minutes? I've never been in a bathroom so luxurious that I really wanted to hang out there at length, y'know?

9. No.But whoever is in line after me does.

[BlueJazz]

10. LOL!

[yawnmaster]

11. Yes, a big problem. Everytime I try and take a nap, just as I'm falling asleep...

someone flushes a toilet.
I tell you its impossible to get any rest there.

[Rambis]

12. Only when republican senators are in them

;)

13. I usually wait until the restroom clears before I leave the stall

I hate that dreaded moment when the guy who's been farting and grunting in the stall next to you makes eye contact with you at the sink.

[ChoralScholar]

14. Only when the urine is >.25 inches deep on the floor.

[dropkickpa]

15. Nope. Everybody poops.

Used to, but after I had my gallbladder out and would get the screaming shits out of the blue, necessity trumped my stupid hangups and I got over myself. 8 years later and my digestive tract has for the most part adjusted back to nearly normal, but there ain't no shame in my game. I pee and poop and I'm proud of it!

[Kat45]

16. Couldn't do it when I was a kid. I can now, but unfortunately

the seats are often too gross to sit on. If the bathroom isn't crowded, I'll go from stall to stall to try to find a dry and relatively clean seat.

[azmouse]

17. Never.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

[Monique1]

18. I don't like public restrooms but...

at my age when you gotta go you gotta go, run to the nearest restroom. Don't walk either.

[Kaleva]

19. What not to do in a public restroom.

[Forkboy]

20. Yeah, I keep pissing in the sinks.

[conscious evolution]

21. Only in delaware

for some strange reason they put them in the middle of the highway

[av8rdave]

22. When I was younger, yes...the military changed that

[RadiationTherapy]

23. Warm toilet seats are gross. I imagine being pressed cheek to cheek with a stranger.

[cwydro]

24. Hate them, but

I travel so much I don't have much of a choice.

I can certainly tell you which airports have the better restrooms, that is for sure.

Sitting in Fort Lauderdale right now and at all costs, avoid the C concourse women's restroom if possible. Of course if you are connecting, you have no choice unless you want to leave security.
