This might be a weird thing to ask but...

Do you ever find it hard to use a public restroom or a restroom other than your own? I always do unless I really really REALLY have to go, and there's no other choice. I get so uncomfortable going in a public restroom though. D:

I always avoid it if I can. There have been days in my life where I have held it from early morning to way into the afternoon. I absolutely hate using any restroom not my own. I have to be really desperate.

I do have a bit of OCD trait. I'm not sorry about understanding about microbes and hygiene though.

[showing my age here] back in the stoned age, instead of partitioned individual urinals they had this big trough that all the guys would unzip together and whip their stuff out in front of god and each other, and let fly. I could NEVER use one of those, I would just go in a private toilet stall and pee there.

Yes.

No, I find public restrooms fascinating. Sometimes I visit them just to admire their construction. I like reading the graffiti - always enlightening. I'm interested in the many different ways the paper is dispensed. Some are high tech - once visited an automatic restroom that played music and gave directions, then cleaned itself after telling me to enjoy my day. What's not to love?

I only use public restrooms if I have no other option.

It's a really big problem when I'm on my period

I HATE public restrooms. I'll sit there and bust if I have to. Only total desperation or intestinal sickness will drive me to use the public toilet.

I do not like them. They are almost always very dirty. I have to wipe the seat, etc and use a lot of toilet paper to cover the seat if I have to sit down. Don't get me started on the automatic flush sensors

I don't care either way--especially if there's a private stall.

You're not in the bathroom to socialize: you're there to do your business.

That's how I am. I prefer to use them when I have no other option. Otherwise, if I can hold it until I get home, then I usually end up doing just that alone.

Unless a noisy crowd of women come in, I'm fine. I can't stand echoing voices and slamming stall doors while I'm trying to do some business.

I hate those stupid sensors; they push me toward sensory overload, especially when a whole bunch of them go off at once. It drives me crazy when they flush before I'm done, or if they flush more than once. I always use public bathrooms because I have a bigger fear of not being able to go when I have to than I do of the nasty things around the stalls and sinks. I never sit down though, I hover over the bowl, and I'm afraid of those hole-in-the-ground porta potties like they have at campgrounds, ever since my babysitter told me a story when I was seven about a little girl who fell in one and drowned.

I don't really have a problem doing anything in public.

Haha. I was absolutely terrified of the automatic flush sensors when I was a little kid. I absolutely despise public restrooms... I'm really not a germophobe, but they really gross me out most of the time.

have you ever had to do a UA in front of somebody looking?
