I met a girl a few weeks back who told me that she has straight up shit herself on multiple occasions for fear of using a public restroom and having someone else hear/smell/witness her shitting like a normal human being. I brought it to her attention that is literally what toilets are made for and she just went "but what if someone smells it before I flush and gags"

whatever, I shit when and where I please so long as theres a toilet.

Tell her she just made the internet gag by shitting herself.

Or erect. You never know who's reading this.

Why not both?

So, she can't handle the thought of someone possibly smelling her poop in a toilet, but she's ok with pooping in her clothes and spending the rest of her day smelling like shit? That makes no sense. If I smell poop in a bathroom, I'm not going to bat an eyelid. If, on the other hand, YOU smell like poop when I get near you, that would give me pause.

she'd just rather hold it all day and take the risk of shitting herself than let a stranger know she was pooping in the socially designated manner. weirded me out at first but she's a totally outgoing and boisterous person outside of this.

That's insane

I've never shit myself but can confirm she isn't alone. Its very rare that I'll use a public toilet for #2's.

u/Itsacubanthing_ Jul 14 '15

read that as

I've never shit, myself

I was going to say, um... that's a problem.

So I am a female with IBS. I get sudden diarrhea. Public toilets save me. One lady I talked to says she has a travel size bottle of Scope in her purse. She adds it to the toilet water before, during and after. That and a courtesy flush. I courtesy flush, but never thought of the Scope.

You can buy this spray online called poo pourri and it is incredible. You spray it once in the toilet water before you poo and it makes that poo smell like lemons! My friend bought it and it is one of the greatest things ever. I'm sure it only costs about £2 as well.

Lol what.

That's ridiculous.

u/DasBarenJager Jul 14 '15

How would people not notice that she just shit herself?

Oops someone may hear me pooping in that toilet stall, better just walk around with shit soaking through my pants instead, that is far less noticeable.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '15

you expect to smell poop in a bathroom. that's normal. pooping yourself is not. if a girl told me that i would now associate her with the image of her walking around with poop in her pants burned into my head for the rest of my life.

I understand a girl not shitting in public if she suffers from constipation or is on her period. Constipation would take too long, and period shits are fucking rank. But if you're gunna be in and out just do it. Poop in public. Mark your territory. Just because you have a pussy doesn't mean you have to be a pussy.

Source: haven't pooped at work for the past week; it's shark week and I'm doing a detox. No one deserves my anal mustard gas.

I was a shy pooper for awhile at work. I got over it. If someone sits in the next stall I'm not holding anything back. I try not to grunt tho that's too much.

If someone can smell it and gag, then that girl needs to change her diet.

u/longdong_sliver Jul 13 '15

Therefore I don't understand being embarrassed about bodily functions at all, while some girls (like the one he was talking about) seem to.
