Who will not take a dump in a public rest room?
 

I hold it unless its an emergency. My little boy will not take a dump in public restrooms. He's been doing this since 5, now he's going to be 7 and still will not go. I never told him not to do it, but somehow he just holds it until he gets home. How do you change that?

You can't. He has to do that himself... I'll only go if I HAVE TO.

It's a hygiene thing I think. Or a safety thing. Somehow it's not safe in a public toilet. :confused:
Maye you're vulnerable or something like that.

McDonald's and Starbucks have nice clean restrooms, and they're on practically every street corner. It's perfect because you don't have to buy anything, just head straight to the bathroom.

The public restrooms at the highway rest areas? No way...

I think Hepatitis C is transmitted in body fluids... incurable and fatal disease... probably easy to get Hep C from soiled public toilet seats, maybe even restroom faucets and door knobs.

There's no place like home is more than just a way to get Dorothy back to Kansas.

Going into the military usually changes that for most guys. Don't know what it's like today but basic training usually just has four open toilets in the latrine. If you couldn't take a dump there you would explode. I never had a problem but there were guys who didn't shlt for a week when they got there.

When nature makes her demand, any hole in the ground will do. A few strips of paper as a barrier seem to do the trick.

Getting a bit dainty, aren't we?

I remember sitting in the latrine passing eachother the roll of toilet paper..

Use an ass gasket and toilet paper or paper towel between your hands and various surfaces and doorknobs.

I've been a party to that!

Yep, Coffee and a smoke usually helped as well. :D

Nothing like a nice relaxing crap with three other guys.

In most of the US, Yes, if I have to.
In foreign countries....not a chance......

A Bear won't!

No big deal, I avoid it if I can.

Sitting down is a bonus.

Hopefully he will get better when he gets older. For me any restroom in order to avoid an accident!?!

You do what you have to do... I have takin a dump in a public restroom..

But only... wait for it...

In a pinch!

Seriously, with a little planing it can be avoided.

How about those remote campsite outhouses? Oh yeah!

Ex USMC, and I travel a lot. Nuff said.

I will stop at a Hotel. Forget MD and Starbucks. Hotels have clean restrooms.

Does the restroom in the doctor's lounge count as a public one? If I have to, I use the Texas t-shirt on the seat.

I like the hotel idea

Micky D's is gold when I'm on the road... however as I said, if I'm going on a long trip I just take care of business before hitting the road.

Unfortunately not all of us have had the privilege of serving our country... at this point I'm way too old... and the OP's son is too young... so I don't think it is an option at this time.

This thread is awarded a "what's wrong with you?"

I am very regular. It is rare that I need to go when away from home unless I am on vacation. I have no major problem with using a public toilet if the need is pressing.

I have never in my life paid a hooker for sex of any sort, but there have been time I would have paid 50 bucks for a good clean toilet.

I typically "go" everyday. It would have to be a real emergency for me to go anywhere other than work or home. I could... I just choose not to.

Trips/hotel stays are different.

I worked for 13 years at my last job and never once dropped a duece there. It became a running joke with my friends. I avoid public restrooms unless it is an emergency.

"Holding it in" is not a good practice.
Buy a little spray bottle of alcohol and teach him to wipe down the toilet.

Being a bit "pee shy" is normal, but humming or thinking of other things works.

Some folks have a problem with public restroom's having flush valves which splash dirty water everywhere when you pull the handle.

I say unless you have open wounds on your azz, have a seat get on with it.

good for you that he can hold it. My boy didn't want to do it in public rr but couldn't hold it neither. He wanted me to take him home, or some nice public rr to leave his stuff :lol:. Solution, make him visit the rr at home before going anywhere.

Never my first choice, I concur, find a hotel. Military always treated me well with "private" accommodations.

the meal that pretty much is the "key to my lock"..pancakes with a cup of coffee.

i ate that meal in the filthiest mexican airport..whoa..i took care of business with roaches running across my feet.

i subscribe to "anywhere is better than in your pants".

vietnamese overnight train..the horrors.

In my travels, when you see a Micky Ds, you go period. Doesn't matter if you need it or not.

We call McDonalds the Poop-n-PeeSmileWavy

If I have to go I have to go.

Man, they can take a dump and call it the day. 5 minutes later, they can go again and leave a big chunk in there. they are too small to clean themselves out at once. I wish it was that easy. Yes, we force them to go before leaving the house.

I have found that to be true.

Who has two thumbs and won't drop a duece in a public toilet? THIS GUY!

Traveling sales rep for 25+ years. I can count on my left hand how few of times that I have.

My two sons are just as bad as I am.

I don't like an unclean public restroom but it's really really bad not to go when that doorbell rings.

hell....i'm going now! :D

I have taken a dump on almost every continent on this toilet of a planet!!!
I have been to some pretty bad places so a rest area or gas station in the states is a luxury

Any time, any place.

Once you've taken a dump on one of these, you lose that shyness.... Its not ideal, but I can go anywhere....

Well I prefer to pinch off an osama bin laden at home.
However, if nature calls you do what you gota do.
