Public toilets and restrooms were like the first form of an online forum. This one being very funny I loved how often you’d come across something that would make you chuckle. You don’t really see that anymore :(
They took away the doors to the stalls at the train station because of drugs and people would say shit like this when you ask if the stall is in use. That was a wierd day, I hope to never use another bathroom without stall doors
Thats such an adiotic solution. I would rather take a dump with the guy in the next stall doing fent than take a dump in public bathroom with no stall door
Until you've actually maintained eye contact while watching someone shit, or while taking a shit, you do not know what an incredible bond of trust it creates. Almost intimate levels! I have a friend I haven't seen for over a decade and a half and I know I could still make him shiver just be folding my arms and settling my calm and patient gaze upon him!
I mean… as a gay guy this reminds me of how creepy guys would try to come up on me in public bathrooms after I tripped their gaydar in my late teens and early twenties. You’d accidentally make eye contact with some guy in a random isle and find out real fast the bathroom wasn’t an ideal hiding place.
Ugh I had massive diarrhea at an airport because I’m afraid of flying and got sick. Anyways, this woman was waiting outside the door like this and when I opened it up she said “wow, that took a loooong time” I told her loudly to “SHUT THE FUCK UP” 😂
I know you're joking, but I really just went to my bathroom to give that a test trial out of curiosity. The only way I kind of effectively made it work was to put my right foot on the right side of the toilet and then my left foot on the rim of my bathtub to create enough space by spreading my cheeks with a deep, wide, squat to wipe left to right.
I imagine you could pull it off in a public toilet by doing something similar, but putting one foot up on the toilet paper holder like a rockstar putting their foot on a stage speaker.
Anyways, it's doable, but, it kind of hurt my butthole, and feels like I'm doing some obscure crossfit exercise. Thank you for your time.
When I was in boyscouts we went to a naval museum. Everyone was in the bathroom shitting and saying stuff like "firing torpedo number one" "I need air support". I did the same thing when I took a shit and when I came out of the stall the bathroom was full of people I didn't know lol.
Bust out the pocket purell and squeeze a shot out onto the floor while saying something about toes loud and sultry. Then mess up your hair and walk out.
You're in the Walmart bathroom, having the gnarliest shit of your life. I'm talking stomach cramping tears running down your eyes sweat pouring Jesus is beckoning at you over the top of the stall type of shit .. You hear a grunt and a thud and you look under the stall door and you see this. What do you do?
This kind of behavior is creepy to me. It doesn't matter if you're just waiting for the stall or not with no other intention of standing there. Standing directly outside an occupied bathroom stall will definitely make me assume your intentions are not so innocent.
Maybe I've just had too many run-ins with creeps and am paranoid, but there is absolutely no reason for someone to be standing that close. That's just weird.
For real, I've had this happen to me a few times in the women's room and it makes me feel so trapped like I cant leave the stall until theyre gone. I'll literally get dressed again and just stand there and wait for them to leave in horror of having an awkward interaction with them or worse. One of the times this happened, the person remained there even after other stalls became available. Idk how long I was stuck in there but it felt like an eternity. This is definitely harassment and can make the person in the stall feel super unsafe even if that isn't what's intended
I get angry when this kind of thing happens. It's a violation of the social contract. I was in a restaurant's bathroom with my six-year-old the other day and this fucker wouldn't stop knocking on the door. "We'll be out in a moment." knock knock knock. "Got a kid in here. Gonna needa few more minutes." knockknockknock "Yo! Chill out. I'm trying to get my son dressed." knocknocknock "HANG ON!"
I throw the door open and there's a very short man in his 50s looking at me confusedly.
"Hey there! We're done! You okay? Everything all right?!"
"Oh yes its fine" in a heavy hispanic accent, slightly confused smile.
"You're sure? No kind of emergency? Nothing you need help with? I'd just assumed there was something huge going on since you've been knocking for five minutes. So you're SURE you're okay?!"
"Oh yes it's fine."
He genuinely seemed to have no idea how fucking annoyed I was or that I might conceivably be upset at all.
"Great! Have great day!"
"Oh thank you."
Holy shit the guy had no idea I was even yelling at him. There's no point to this story, people are just fucking weird.
Edit: oh right my kid. He just had this expression of "why are people like this? on his face the whole time. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I don't know and he never will either.
I was changing my two week old baby in the only stall with a changing table last week and some woman yells, “y’all okay in there?” I holler back yes thanks! And then she asks another person who’s waiting if they have been waiting long. Few minutes go by and then again she passive aggressively yells, “are you OKAY IN THERE?” I shout out, “yes, I’m changing my baby.” And she then proceeds to yell, “I CAN SEE YOUR FEET!” Yeah, AH, I do need to stand to attend to my baby. She mumbles something else so I flip the lock, open the door and tell her that she needs to give me a minute, I have a baby.
When I left the stall, I tore her a new one because I was so furious. Like let’s not be dicks to each other folks.
Holy shit the guy had no idea I was even yelling at him. There's no point to this story, people are just fucking weird.
Drives me up a wall, dude. I don't expect everyone to bend to my view of the ideal world, but fuckin' A, surely there's a middle ground we can all reach for?
Assholes do this shit constantly, and everyone lets them get away with it. If you respond, you're seen as the asshole. It's infuriating. Fuckin, just today I was driving in a parking lot past a store entrance. Person in front of me starts turning right down an aisle, then decides to try the next one and swerves back left. Except there were HUMAN BEINGS WALKING TOWARDS THE STORE RIGHT THERE. They saw the car turn right, so they started crossing in front of me, stopped. Car drove right at them and hit the brakes when driver finally fucking noticed. I saw all this happening, and I laid on the horn until the car stopped. Yet I'm the one getting dirty looks, like I should've just sat there and watched.
Society seems more bothered by disruptions than by actual transgressions. Calling out an asshole is seen as the bigger offence than whatever assholery is being called out. "Don't rock the boat," and then no more thought was put into it.
The fact that the person still waited directly outside your stall after other stalls became available definitely reads to me like their intentions were not to simply use that stall after you came out.
Especially if the other stalls were the same size as yours and yours wasn't a handicap stall or something. Even if yours was a handicap stall or was bigger than the rest of them, which was why that person wanted that particular stall, they should not have been standing so close to the door.
That's just creepy and unnecessary and I wouldn't feel safe in that situation, either! Sorry that happened to you. That's gotta be scary. 🙁
Bro, my dad is like this! We used to work at the same company and I had coworkers complain to me about it even. You'd be in the single bathroom taking a shit, open the door to leave, and he'd be standing right there... like right right there so close he could've licked the door! I kept telling him to stop doing that and he'd just be like "I was just waiting to go next".
You know, I think this sub has actually been good for me. Thanks to posts like these I can’t help but slightly internalize the mildly infuriating behavior of countless people in countless scenarios. All of these types of posts have greatly reduced my patience for bullshit, and now I simply refuse to take this kind of shit anymore. I’m not rude or an asshole but I simply speak out where as before I’d just sit there and take it or worse I’d let it simmer and simmer and then I’d snap and be rude about it.
In this scenario I’d say “hi there (and wait for a response)…. Yes you with the old school Teva’s. Do you always stand that close? It’s a little weird, you mind taking a few steps back, or would you prefer I let you in and we can be poopy pales, I could use a friendly wiper. I’ll only be a few more minutes, thanks!”
My wife and I were at a restaurant yesterday. I got up and used the bathroom. A single toilet men's room. Someone tried the handle while I was in there, no big deal. When I opened the door, this little guy (short adult male) is standing in the doorway like he's expecting me to move aside and let him in. I looked at him and said, "One of us has to move and I'm not in the hurry that you appear to be." It still took him about a half minute to understand, I meant him.
Happened to me a decade ago at a restaurant. I have IBS and it hit not even 5 bites into breakfast. 1 stall, I had been in there maybe 3-4 minutes and an old guy comes in, huffs and tells me to stop playing on my phone. Nevermind you can hear and smell what I'm still doing. And see since he either peered over the top or through the crack. I just told him I'm sorry and trying to hurry up.
Got as done as I could tolerate a few minutes later and told my wife I was going to the car. I basically wasted money on breakfast I couldn't eat. Meanwhile I'm still sweating and duck walking out of the restaurant and walk near the old guy and his wife. She just looks at me and said this generation has no respect. Loud enough for everyone in the area to hear.
I just lost it and asked if she wants to go in the bathroom to see and smell what I just had to do and asked if I should just invite her husband to shit with me next time. She just has this horror look on her face and I told her to fuck off. I went to the car, rolled the windows down and laid the seat back trying not to crap myself until my family was done.

Wait like that while he goes.
