I was just thinking about an embarrassing situation in the guys bathroom that I had last year. I went in Toys R Us to go to the bathroom and I went into the stall and their was a guy next to me doing his thing and I didn't have an STP so I leaned over the toilet and I know it didn't look like I was a guy going to the bathroom so I just turned around and sat down and that was pretty weird, I think the guy next to me was thinking "wtf?" I still couldn't pee but I kept trying and the guy next to me finally left. Well, I never did pee, I held it for another 3 hours. Does anyone else have any embarrassing bathroom stories?

That seems a bit strange, actually. Why would he be thinking "wtf?". Men blank themselves and don't make eye contact or think about each other in restrooms. And doing a "gentleman's pee" (in a stall) isn't anything unusual. And like, I don't envision anyone at a urinal/in a neighboring stall looking over to see if the little feet from under the stall door are facing forward or backward, you know? I mean, men have to sit down to poop and all, so... Sitting down isn't that weird at all.

Anyway, I don't use STPs (I find them pretty nasty) so I always go for the "gentleman's pee". So, no embarrassing bathroom stories from here.

Agreed.

I just go in a stall and sit down. I have been told by other transguys that it sounds audibly different than when a cisguy sits to pee, but I've never had problems. Guys usually don't even want to notice things in bathrooms.

I'm going with Kael and Bun on this... if ur not packing, go into the stall (just dont sit, work them legs boy, squat) and they'll just think that ur "catching up on some light reading" (if they even think about it it at all)


**BONUS** put a mini fart machine on ur keychain for the ever so popular acoustic echo effect that all PR's seem to have... LOL

Well, first I was standing up and then without peeing I just turned around and sat down. And when I walked out the guy that was in there (He had the same shoes as the guy in there) gave me a weird look.

Actually most of the men I know and have known go to almost desperate lengths to avoid taking a dump in public bathrooms, we won't sit down on those things because we all know how the other guys treat them, like never raising them when they piss.

Maybe he just got frustrated because he was waiting for you to lean over and tap your foot under his stall and you didn't.

@Leek: Huh?

I think Leek was joking.

I should point out that I can afford to be a little laid back about it, because I live in a very progressive city, and I rarely leave the city center. If I was out in the suburbs, I would likely be much more worried about passing correctly in the bathrooms.

I don't squat (my ankle is held together by screws), and I don't pretend to be taking a ->-bleeped-<-. For the most part I just pee and try not to worry about it. When there are no stalls I give up on it, and when there are doorless stalls, I act depending on how cocky I feel that day. If a guy does look at me weird, he sure as hell doesn't look at me near as weird as the girls in their bathroom would.

I do want to experiment more with stp equipment, but I have to do with homemade at the moment. And lol I'm really not good at it yet.

Gay joke. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

But on a serious note, don't take his behavior to heart too much. Most guys don't really pay attention to or ultimately care that much about what goes on in public bathrooms. Occasionally, you'll run into a weirdo, but most of the time nobody cares what you're doing. (Really, for all he knew you could have just been "silent peeing" [aiming for the edge of the bowl rather than in the water] and then sat down but became constipated. *shrug* None of his business.)

Okay, thanks.
