        I guess it’s partly a desire for privacy and partly social anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, if I were about to shit myself I absolutely would use a public restroom. I’d just prefer to use my own bathroom.

        Now matter how much you know that everyone shits, kids are fucking monsters and will never let you live it down, especially if you’re not “popular” or able to play into it (anxiety) or just tell the kid to stfu (anxiety, size, intimidation).

    Wait, you folks had stall doors?

    No joke, real story, in second grade the restrooms didn’t even have stall doors.

    The school trends that made me not use public bathrooms.

    kicking the doors of the person shitting.

    Throwing wet toilet paper at the person shitting.

    Pouring water over the stall.

    Stealing the shoes of the person shitting.

    Pushing people into the urinal wall.

    Pissing on the floor.

    Turn the lights off so the person in the stall is left in pitch black.

        There’s no being careful. The only way to avoid that stuff happening is to not shit at school or have your boys stand guard.

    My kid wouldn’t go to the bathroom at all during middle school. Said he would rather hold it.

    I was a college professor. I can tell you from experience that young people are super freaked s out public bathrooms. It’s bizarre to me.

    Assholes flushing urinals with their foot! Wtf! I put my fingers on that!

    Sheesh just wash your hands, what’s the big deal?

      Doors?

      No, seriously, the only time I had a toilet with a door in public school was in kindergarten. After that, no doors on the toilets.

    I only held it in at school because my parents taught me that public restrooms are extremely dirty. It took a while to get over my phobia of public restrooms, but I needed to since it’s gotten harder to hold it in (and it’s bad to do so anyway). Reading some of the replies here, I knew kids were often psychos but sheesh.
