Hi Tim,

Great seeing you and the gang last night. All hail the “hub” of Jeremy. Bienvenidos to Farrell and Brian

Truthfully, not all women “talk freely from stall to stall” while peeing, though I’ll admit, it’s gotta be easier for us with the stall walls between. In fact, it’s often oddly silent in the women’s room, despite all urban myths and ideas put forth in the Klymaxx song “Meetin’ in the Ladies Room.” If we do chat, it’s only to friends who’re also eliminating, and usually we’ll talk in order to hide the the sounds possibly made by any ugly body function. Here in Hollywood, the mirror seems to be the bathroom’s prime attraction and that’s where etiquette comes in handy. Girls, use your alloted 30 seconds wisely.

I’m surprised I have so much to say on the subect. Honestly, I think I just want to post a comment. And yet…

P.S. Women get stage fright too. I can vouch. A trick: turn on the water or ask a friend to run it.

Wow, thanks for the witty and enlightening post. I’m a new woman having had that insiders glimpse.

Re: Sit-down toilets: How about just sitting down to pee? Simply push down on penis, aim and fire away. This takes care of hasseling with up and down of toilet seat and wiping spills or dribbles.

Re: Urinals: Suggestion #2 was my favorite. Also, stage fright happens to guys too?

Well, most do “flush,” in that there is a lever you can pull to release a flow of water. However, it usually is just sort of a trickle, not terribly efficient as flushes go, but a flush all the same.

I’m sorry if I’m jumping the gun here and delving right into pooping etiquette as well, let’s just file it all under public restroom usage.

1. If you’re all alone in the restroom, feel free to do whatever. But once the door opens and someone enters, fer Chrissakes, stop the grunting! Nobody wants to hear your dilemmas and internal debates.

2. Courtesy flushes are always welcome.

3. I think it’s a rite of passage to pee outside in the middle of a city. I know it’s disgusting, but it’s just pee. Poop: no right, no passage.
