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

    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.
