Unpopular opinion: toilets are perfectly shaped to make farts as loud as possible.

    Man, I used to teach and it was a shared bathroom between faculty and students.

    No student could ever know I poop. It was a difficult facade to maintain.

      My father taught for 4 decades and took immense pride in ripping farts in the hallway as loud as possible between classes.

    that awkward moment when a person you know (not friend otherwise i’d hold or gtfo to next floor) and you walk in and you both need to poop. .The restroom only has 2 toilet stalls side by side…

    So what you do? If its a crowded place where many people come in and use the restroom then youre ok: you hope for the sound of people talking + water faucet sound to “suppress” your fart sound. .

    What if it is not crowded? Well shit, then we are in a tugg of war. I just hope the initial noise is not loud.

    Silent bathrooms are the fucking worst. When you go in, have to stand right next to some guy at a urinal, and you both can hear exactly how much piss is happening, or when it’s not happening. Nothing shrivels up my bladders ability to expend faster than complete silence and the attention of a stranger.

    Also once I was visiting a foreign country and found a girl on tinder, we were fuck buddies for the duration. She stayed over one night, and I had to shit in the morning. With her sitting on the bed quietly scrolling her phone like 5 feet away. It was awful. Felt like I couldn’t fart, could barely get anything out, my diet had been bad so it was going to be a difficult poo anyway. It was awful.

    But out in public, whenever I accidentally fart, or on purpose fart but I intended it to be silent, I just laugh immediately afterwards. If I think it’s funny, then it’s not awkward.

      People need to stop being weird about toilets. WE ALL KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THERE.

      I don’t need a rest…, I don’t want to take a bath…I don’t need to wash…

    If I hear someone on the phone in a public restroom I try to rip ass as loud as possible.

    I’m not stuck in here with you, you’re stuck in here with me.

      Someone did that at a supermarket bathroom I was in!

      The guy was yapping away on his phone. I was washing my hands being annoyed. And suddenly, one guy said, “Fuck it!” And just blasted a massive fart shit.

      The guy on the phone went silent. And I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off.

      Yup. Bringing normal sounds into the bathroom is just as bad as bringing bathroom sounds into a normal room

    I have IBS so if I want to go anywhere I have to deal with the fact that I may end up making lots of noise in a public toilet. In my forties I’m pretty desensitized about it now. Everybody poops.

      Interesting that the wiki says it’s only for women’s restrooms.

      Also funny that some women just really need the real thing, the sound box isn’t good enough. Never mind the public toilet spraying your nethers with flush water while you do your business. I guess the bidet helps with some of that.

        Well, drawing from feminist theory, it’s all about men being allowed to be rough, dirty, filthy, smelly, loud, taking up space (physical, emotional, whathaveyou), careless, inconsiderate, dominant, whathaveyou without losing legitimacy as real men. Women, on the other hand, especially in Japan but really in any current human society, are forced to be feminine (as per patriarchal norms, the makeup industry’s standards, heterosexual men’s sexual desires, whathaveyou) or else risk losing legitimacy as real women. After all, girls don’t poop.

        Edit/link description: search results on duckduckgo for “girls don’t poop”, with the purpose of sarcastically pointing to some ridiculous Reddit conversations, memes and jokes that “process” or reflect women’s lack of right to self-governance and dignity.

    Everybody poops as they say. The bathroom is the socially acceptable place for farts imo.
