Ever since some kids in first grade climbed onto the toilet seat in the adjacent stall and looked over the stall walls at me, I've been a little shy in public restrooms. But I long ago came up with a solution that applies the same sort of logic as covering your eyes to hide from someone: I cover my ears.
Safely insulated from my own horrific notes, I can grunt and strain my way to comfort. This has stood me in good stead for many years.
I commend this tip to you,
in the hopes it may prove useful,
with greatest respect,
yours sincerely,
& etc.

I heard some guys on a podcast commenting that bathrooms are designed with the worst possible acoustics considering the sounds that are made in there: hard metal and tile surfaces that reflect sound, accent high notes, and generate copious echoes.
ReplyDeleteReally, all bathrooms, particularly the walls in public restroom stalls, should have sound baffling panels.
I mean, people pay for toilets that flush quietly, but that's really the least offensive audio likely to be produced.
