I work in a public place, in fact, I work for Wal-Mart. A lot of people that I work with, are not able to go to the bathroom while they are there. When I mean they can't go to the bathroom, they aren't able to go in, sit down, and take a crap.
Yes, disgusting topic I know, but I want to know what you think!
I personally figure, if you have to go, GO, don't hold it in, it's not healthy to do so.
Can you 'take a crap' in public? Do you feel weird doing it?

Yea its nothing like home sweet home. It is like a 5 percent chance that i have to do that type of number in the public restrooms. But I know that some people do not care. But that toxic stuff is poison. No one really you hold their waste. If you need to go, then go for it. In some cases I may feel weird, but I would rather just let go and take care the business.

Thanks for responding DESMASTER. I completely agree with you. I usually feel weird about it in a lot of public places, but working in the same company now for a year, it's no longer weird for me to do so in that particular restroom. I still find it difficult in other restrooms, but do it anyway, even if it takes me a few minutes to get comfortable.

Funny discussion. I have to go and I gotta go now. But I do sort of like to not have a lot of people around. The worse is when I have a bladder control problem though and I don't take those poisnous meds can't afford them for it.
Seems 90% of the time they are Cleaning the danged restroom and I cannot hold it and they tell you to go to the back 40 of wal-mart. I rarely make it. Very embarassing. I feel like saying well I can't make it and pulling my pants down and peeing on the floor only probably would get arrested LOL. I use pads and have learned to take along a change of clothes if shopping.
As to doing the number 2 I still like my privacy. I go but know holding up a line at times. Takes awhile and I tense up if I know people are near.

What makes me laugh is when you go in the gents and the amount of guys who won't go next to someone! The would rather wait or go in the cubicle. That happened at the station there were three cubicles and I deliberately used the middle one, guys came in and none of them would stand next to me! Weird eh, I would, if you've got to go you've got to go, I ain't embarrassed as for taking a crap, I will always wipe the seat first you can never be too careful and I will always find the cleanest (if possible) of all the cubicles. People can be so disgusting how they leave the toilets!

I think if you gotta go, you gotta go. I know people at work can't do their deed anywhere else but home and that causes problems. I mean, it can't be good to hold things in, can it? Going to the bathroom is supposed to be something natural.. I mean, I can understand feeling uncomfortable but like I said, you gotta do what you gotta do!

My late MIL was like that, couldn't go anywhere but at her own home. She'd come to visit and would stay an hour or so and then have to get back home. I don't remember her ever using one of our bathrooms, or at other other of the relatives houses either. Sure makes life difficult.

Hi jenni7202,
Regardless of whatever people think of the subject it is a valid discussion in my opinion.
When you are mentioning that you literally can't go because of the restrooms that are dirty, or because the policy of the company? Whatever the reason is, I'm the type of people that agrees with what your body needs, you must get or do, i.e. eating, sleeping, crying, going to do your business either 1 or 2 as well.

I get distracted easily and am a bit poop shy, so it's hard for me to go in public most times. I can go at home like a champ in a matter of minutes. In fact, my boyfriend once told me I should be in the book of world records for person to take the fastest crap because he takes some time to go while I usually just pop mine right out. LOL -- good topic! :P

Haha, thanks! I'm the same way as you when it's time to go. I just sit, and well, you know, haha. I'm only in there for a matter of minutes, while on the other hand my boyfriend has to sit there for a good 20 minutes, and read his book to get relaxed enough to go. I personally can't sit there and wallow in my own stench, it's just horrible.

Once in a great while I know I have to go and it just won't come out, but if I sit on the toilet for fifteen or twenty minutes it usually senses it's time to release itself from the confines of my intestines LOL ...
This rarely happens though and I can usually go right away.
