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
With an endless loop of either:

Sibelius 1812 (IIRC) with the cannons? Count me in!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
OMG you fart? Fucking gross!
Obviously everyone farts. I just don’t want it to be acknowledged, in general
They should play national anthems, so people have to stand up while pooping.
I’n some toilets it seems people already do that
And I’m proud to be an American! where I know I can pee
And I proudly STAND UP! and start to poo!
I’m a grown ass man and if I make noise in a quiet bathroom I giggle like a child. I can’t help myself.
It should be inspirational music to. Like stuff from rockey. Eye of the tiger! You can do it!
Or better, made them private enough to prevent large leakages of noise, I have zero joy feeling others presence when using the toilet… privacy is not only visual
yes. each stall should be highly insulated blocking all sound like one of those sound proof booths. im 100% that would be a wonderful experience.
Aww yeah! 😩💦
I overcame this fear by intentionally trying to be noisy (without creating additional noises than the ones that are actually necessary) and owning to it when I leave the bathroom. I also stare back intently if someone stares at me.
This is the place thrash, grunge, doom metal was made for. That or loud Vangelis.
Orff’s O Fortuna would be epic. The quiet parts could be a problem, though.
Upvote for loud Vangelis
You haven’t lived until you have sat down to a full performance of Mythodea.
just so I can stay anonymous
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.
🎵Push it! Unh. Push it real good!🎵
🎵 YAAAA YA PUSH IT!! 🎶
When a dookie comes along, you must push it!
Or in taco bell, Push it! It’s a beast called fire!
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My ass explodes and belly aches
Pump Up the jam, pump it up… well. Maybe a different one.
In Ancient Rome, public loos were holes in large plates of marble, everybody just sat (shat?) next to one another, there were no cubicles or walls. People conversed happily about business and family, squeezing and a huffing and a puffing. I always have to think about that, as I let go loud trumps and farts or liquid gas - shamelessly- in a public toilet. Lay back and enjoy! Taking a good crap is an integral part of human life; be proud of your achievement.
Guys from my high School went to the restroom together and shat together. The restroom had 20 toilets or something and they would talk together as the Romans did.
If one of them could make a poop so long it touched the water before slipping the butt (my English is really challenged here, haha. No idea if that sentence made any sense) they would shout “touchdown!” and he would the king of poop for that day.
Are you from a Nordic country perhaps? They are all Badass. I once visited communist Bulgaria. Toilets next to the highway consisted of a circular gutter with a pole in the middle. Patrons would jointly drop their pants, crouch down, hold the pole and aim your buttocks at the gutter. Enough place for 4-5 guys; but we didn’t converse much, due to the heavy diet, everybody was concentrating and had red faces from the effort. No need for background music when you grunt.
Yes, I’m from Denmark, but I didn’t know we known as badasses, haha.
A Dane knows no shame, only pain.
When I hear someone make noises in a bathroom stall, I (unwillingly) get vivid imagery of their sphincters moving as air or feces comes out
I have no idea if my noises will make other people imagine mine or not
I’m just private when it comes to that stuff. I don’t really enjoy… “existing,” to other people, whenever I defecate
You would not fare well spending a weekend in the county jail.
A county jail isn’t made to be “fared well” in in the first place.
Only begins to explain everything wrong with the prison system. Everything is designed to make it as cheap and profitable as possible
True, wasn’t trying to make light of that :)
I’m imagining one of those music-playing-after-car-crash memes but instead it’s someone violently shitting their brains out to a very nonchalant and soft tune that is definitely not loud enough
Usually when I’m in a public bathroom I’m listening to the guy next to me giving birth to a butt baby and all the wet plops that go with it.
Plops are the worst, I wish I didn’t have to hear those. Makes me vividly imagine their poop being squeezed out of their anus
When I was younger I got curious and watched my butthole fart in the mirror and now whenever I hear a fart I picture their butthole
I mean, a fart literally is what it is and sounds like what it sounds like precisely because of the anus having the shape that it has. Can’t really unsee that
It doesn’t just stay in one place tho. It opens up for a seconds and vibrates… sometimes it squeezes shut a bit just before the big reveal
Just don’t think about Neptune’s kiss…
