I cannot tell you how many times I’ve made a noise on the toilet and been so embarrassed that I actually end up waiting for anyone who heard it to leave, just so I can stay anonymous
I don’t think there will be anyone who objects to this. There is nothing in a bathroom worth listening to. Nobody socializes in a bathroom. It’s as quiet as a library, and any bodily noise completely gives you away
Please just add background music to bathrooms. Even with quiet background music, you could at least strategically defecate to the tempo to make it sound like it’s part of the song
I hate public bathrooms, please make them bearable


Do you normally feel a need to introduce yourself to everyone with whom you share a bathroom briefly?
Every time I walk into a bathroom, I do a meet and greet with all the other women there. We have little ice breakers, such as names, zodiac signs, bristol stool scale number, and food that brought us here!
The last time I used the bathroom, I said “hey, I’m Tanis, not sure what my sign is, I think I’m about to poop a four on the scale, and I’m here because that chicken fried steak is about to push out last night’s burrito, lovely to meet you all.”
It’s part of the mandatory genital inspection.
No but people will see me. They aren’t blind
If people have to see me walk out of a bathroom stall, I’d rather they not have heard my noises
Yeah but no one will know your name. You remain anonymous, so does it matter?
Work bathrooms are one grey area though.
I do go to a work bathroom. That’s actually what forced me to overstay my 15 minute break by a few minutes and subsequently inspired my post
Yeah that makes some sense, although people can usually tell who’s in the stall anyway.
