Is it normal to turn on the faucet every time you do "#2"?

16 Comments

Alright, I am a female and I have not been able to have a bowel movement without turning on the faucet! - I am scared that my boyfriend (whom I live with) or anyone in general (depending where I am) will hear any sound while I'm pooping!

- I mean, he doesn't mind at all, he's the most laid back guy ever and doesn't get grossed out by me. Is just that I hate the way sometimes poop sounds when it hits the darn water in the toilet and/or passing gas at the same time while trying to pass a stool. Therefore, I always have to have water running so nobody can hear any "weird" sounds coming from the bathroom while I'm in there trying to poop.

Is it normal that I can't use anyone's bathroom (not even my own) without having the faucet on?
Or am I just a weirdo? :S

    I'm guessing that none of you pay the water bill.

    I read an article somewhere that this was so big in Japan that they had to start building sound effects into toilets to avoid wasting water. I would go hunt down the article, but I can't think of any search terms that wouldn't look creepy as fuck in my history.

    Haha I know a few girls that do this. I don't blame you, it's kind of a private and personal thing to share with anyone. I'm a guy and I'd be embarrassed if anyone, but especially a girlfriend, heard me taking a dump.

    What I don't get is those girls that happily piss together in public toilets. Go together, one to a cubicle or sometimes in the same cubicle (I have girl friends that do this), have girly chats while sloshing in the pan. Like it's a social event...

    I'm happy to read so many people do this. I do this, too. When I'm in a public restroom, I sometimes play music on my phone.

    Yes, I do the exact same thing as well. And my boyfriend gets all pissy saying I'm wasting water, because sometimes I run the SHOWER. It's nice having it warm and loud in the bathroom when going potty. He just doesn't get it. He says he's going to ask everyone he knows if it's normal. I told him "Thanks a lot A**hole, now you're going to embarrass me" Then I looked online and found this, showed him, and he shut his mouth! =P I am on your side! Let the water flow, so the bowels can flow!

    It goes back to our ancestors, when we used to shit in the woods down by the river.

    Ha ha. I do the same thing!! I'm sure many people do but wouldn't admit it! Wouldn't do in my own bathroom though. Although depends on if you're living on your own or not.

    I am not too sure if it is normal or not, but I do the exact same thing...However, in my case, my intention is not to hide weird sounds or so. For me it is just plain and simple habit from long long time. I don't know if it is normal, but now I sure do know that there are others out there who do the same thing...

    Invite your boyfriend in and test his love by shitting in front of him. It's the only way you'll know for sure if he loves you.
