Was anyone else here brave enough to shit without a stall door? I had so much anxiety as a kid, but when u gotta go u gotta go.

Some kids tried to bully me and I was just like... I'm taking a shit, we all do it so fuck off. Still nerve wracking tho

I did it a couple times when I really had to go. I usually waited as along as I could after class started so no one was randomly in the bathroom in between classes.

If I were a school bully, I'd be concerned about the readily-available projectile that could emerge in this scenario. Only one type of asshole should be doing its job in there.

Barrier free washrooms should be in pretty much every building/school. This is usually the most comfortable place to go number two.

The faculty washroom or gym change room/locker room washrooms are usually more quite. They may still have their doors on in most cases.

Edit: seems people do not know what a barrier free washrooms washroom is and assume it's a washroom with no door.

Ie. Barrier free is a wheelchair accessible washroom commonly referred to as a handicapped washroom. This is a large single room washrooms with a door toilet and sink.

Hard disagree, we had similar issues at our high school and they removed the stall doors, and I was so petrified of my school bullies coming in while I was doing my business that I either used the faculty toilet or would just not go all day.

Barrier free washrooms should not exist anywhere, for any reason. What the fuck are you on about. Have some sense of basic human rights and privacy, please.

If you want to go drop a turd on live TV, that's on you, but under no circumstances are the rest of us to be subjected to that. Absolutely fucking not.
