bathrooms on vacations

[magenta55]

I went to Europe a few years ago. In two different places someone knocked on the stall door trying to get me to hurry up. It was like I will pee until I'm done. I couldn't believe how rude people can be. In one place they just wanted to see the toilet because it was painted to look like denim jeans. It was different but they still could have waited until I was done. Anyone else have something like this happen while travelling? toilet

That experience can happen anywhere, not just when traveling. People are just impatient. It's happened to me in restaurants and baseball stadiums here in the U.S. and in cafes in Paris.

One thing about traveling is navigating certain cultural customs and facilities. When I was in Dubai (UAE) I at least had a choice between a western-style commode with toilet paper or the hole in the floor to squat over with the bidet. In India, sometimes it was just the hole in the floor (in a semi-dark room swarming with mosquitos.) It's a good thing I wasn't in the middle of a flare then. eek

HI. Last week at work at Walmart, the ladies room was filled and I said it was an emergency to go the bathroom, one lady cut in front of another, but the lady that was waiting, let me go ahead of her,she said she understood and I thanked her. When you gotta go, you gotta go. It happens everywhere. Hang in there. There is hope

I've never had anyone knock on a stall! That is so rude!
There have been a couple times that I have had to stand in line and didn't know if I was gonna make it! Has anyone ever said that you have a condition and need to cut in front of people? I am very shy and don't know if I could do that but sometimes it hurts so bad to have to wait!
Hope you're all doing great!

Hi allyson, I have asked to go in front of people, I did last week at Walmart while I was at work there were lines, and I couldn't make it all the way down back to go, one lady cut in front of another one. but this lady said to me go ahead, she doesnt understand but she said that she did. what a wonderful lady and I thanked her afterwards. Just ask sweetie. I am shy too,but when I gotta go, I gotta go. You can do it. Hang in there. There is hope.
