what can you do in private but not in public?

Yup pooping in public toilets totally sucks!

If you get splash-back... then that's public toilet water that's splashing back up on you! Not to mention you've got to put down paper on the seat first...

Then inevitably someone comes in, and sits down in the toilet next to you... and the bathroom is totally silent... and your holding back because it's weird to make pooping sounds with a stranger literally 3 feet away from you.

And of course the acoustics of the public bathroom are purposely designed to greatly amplify and echo such sounds.

Then finally when you're getting up, and wiping... that's when a bunch of people come in, one after another, in a kind of parade, and they're peaking through the wide crack between the door and stall wall... trying to see if the stall is empty or occupied... spotting you standing there, wiping your @ss!
