been in a public restroom and heard someone farting loudly and pooing on the toilet? Does it gross you out or does it just seem natural and therefore no big deal? Does it make a difference if it's a stranger or someone you know?

I am always forced to wonder...

WHAT THE FUCK DID HE EAT!!

Yes... but I get more embarrassed FOR the person. Having to go in a disgusting public stall is bad enough...

Surely you get some kind of immunity farting in a toilet? On the bus, in a shop yes, but the toilet?

This is why I don't use public toilets.

I don't fart. I lightly aerate

i hate using public restrooms, but what i hate even worse is hearing someone fart and poop in a public restroom, and the smell!

I used to have a tremendous hang up about using public restrooms. The older I get the less I care about these things. When you gotta go you gotta go. I'm not gonna fuck up my whole schedules (or others) just because I'm afraid I might have to birth a dookie child after lunch out.
I have friends with stomach ailments that would never be able to leave the house if they worried about this. I think seeing that helped some to get over my public toilet issues.

It would only feel embarrassing if I had to let loose with a friend in there.
But I'm not ashamed to tell them they can't be in there at the same time as me.

Also we most of our friends are females so it's not usually even an issue.

it grosses me out

whenever i truly can't hold it until i get home, i do the continual flush
thing so that people at least don't hear any noises, if there are any.

i'm amazed how people can just relax on a public toilet, as if they are
home alone and sit there making noises like a bubbling tar pit for seven
minutes, then come out looking totally unfazed and calmly wash their
hands and greet you as you're standing there looking at them with that
"you filthy dirty ass cacophany producing bugger" look on your face.

I sit put and wait until all others (not in stalls) have left so I don't have to have eye contact of any kind.

It's common decency.

When it's all said and done tho, it's a bathroom. That's what is supposed to happen in there. It's not like you're squatting pinching out a BK Broiler in the middle of Target Housewares Dept.

I often wonder "have they been holding it in all day or did the hamster not digest completely?"

A bathroom is a good place as any to fart

I only pee in public restrooms. If I'm poopin' in there, it's an emergency, cuz I can usually hold it until I get home. But if I hear a big fart or whatever, I laugh. Farting is funny, and shouldn't be embarrassing for the farter in the stall. No one is going to be in there long enough to know who you are when you come out. Just remember, if you're the pooper, here are two words you should remember: COURTESY FLUSH!

^ I never courtesy flush. I probably should though. I figured the water would eliminate the smell. Farts are far more deadly.

How about the dudes that let it all rip at the urinals... like they been holdin' it in for 4 hours...

I'm a bit of a crop duster myself...

we were at an outdoor mall, OUTDOOR I SAY, and my wife gets on my case for lettin' a little go "squueeeep" ...

all I could do was

I avoid public restrooms at all costs

I hate using public toilets unless I have to. I become mortified. I need privacy when handling my business.

Yes, it grosses me out.

Was it one of those question farts? hahahah!

it had the note of, "May I come out now pleeaasssee...?"

OK...I'm out and need another bottle. It WORKS!

I have a travel size bottle just for public restrooms. Spray a bit on the bowl, handle your business, and there is no odor!

I don't care to use these bathrooms, it's hard enough to pee in them let alone anything else. But if I hear someone I ignore it, I would hate for someone to laugh at me if I was in their shoes.

There was this one time at an old job that I had some bad beans and rice and washed it down with too much lime jarritos. Anyway, I ended up having to make a mad dash to the ladies room as my tummy was a bubblin'. I let it all just go and prayed for forgiveness for eating crap and desecrating my digestive temple. I have hardly ever had to poo wet doody and let out mad wet farts at work. I'm cool like that.

So I'm thinking that I'm in there myself you see but oh no....miss thang in the stall next to me goes "oh that's gross". So of course I'm pissed that someone is in there hearing my farts of hell. I'm also pissed that someone is in there occupying a stool and not doing anything (shit or get off the pot this aint break time).

And lastly I'm pissed that she had the gall to be in the handicapped stall. You know, the big nice stall where you are not visible to the line of pee waiters outside, the stall reserved for people in wheel chairs or with walkers, the stall I wanted to go into but couldn't cuz I had to poo really badly!!!
