Poop stall

Everyone knows what I'm talking about. Don't be embarrassed, just embrace it. It's common knowledge that the last stall in a public bathroom (especially bathrooms in the workplace) is the designated poop stall. I don't know how this started. Whether it's the farthest away so the possible stink won't linger as bad, whether it's so no one can see your shoes at the bottom of the stall, or so no one will see you through the tiny cracks in the door. I've had several funny experiences with the poop stall and the people in it. My first favorite would have to be the time I went to the bathroom (to pee) and someone was occupying the poop stall. I usually try to go in the first stall in bathrooms because studies show that is the cleanest stall. Anyway, the poop staller flushes, leaves the stall, and tries to quickly get out the door before she can be seen. It's like pooping is embarrassing or something. Clearly her mother did not read her Everyone Poops as a child. No worries though, as I'm sure you are all wondering, I did see who it was. Now whenever I see her around the building, all I see is a big turd. Just kidding. :) Moving on. My second favorite is the courtesy flush. I most often hear courtesy flushes when someone is having a "drop gut" experience. It's like they are trying to muffle the sound or something. Oh, and my other favorite, which I think many other people can relate to, are poop wars. When two people are in the bathroom, clearly both pooping, but no one can poop because they are a shy pooper. In this case, both people stay in the stalls until the other person gives up. Seriously. I think that it's not because you are embarrassed about pooping, I think it's that you are embarrassed about the childhood game you are turning pooping into.
