I voted for stinking up a stranger, which to me means someone like an anonymous coworker, or maybe someone in a bathroom at a restaurant or shopping center. #5 to me is that you will shit in public, like an exhibitionist.

Oh, and Logjam, per your request, I pre-entered A as your vote.

I voted #5, not as an exhibitionist, but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go...besides, it would be a far stranger thing, in my opinion, to WATCH me shit, than to shit in front of (insert your name here).

Can we PLEASE introduce Bunga's phrase, "Showboat Shitting," to the PR lexicon?

I definately would rather stink up a stranger. I remember one instance when I first got married. I needed to go really bad, but I waited for my husband to go to sleep and then drove six miles into town to a Super America store and reeked havok on the poor night shift cashier.

Always looking out for number two!

sorry, nobody, not even god. best case scenario, nobody. I will crap with co workers or strangers in the bathroom if i am also in the bathroom, but it is not my preference. And on extreme occasions i will do just about anything to avoid shitting my pants. side of the road, etc.

A REALLY close friend, unless I was really and truly desperate! Though I've recently become Shameless, I still prefer a closed stall or my own bathroom if I can do it, but going in front of my closest friends wouldn't bother me. I don't care what some people see, while I'm very closed off to others. However, if I knew I couldn't make it another second, I'd go in front of whoever was there. I've trudged through a field to use the woods before(in desperation), no problem there, so it's definitely doable.

These days, it's the person I sleep with. In the past it's been selected friends in high school, college, etc.

I second Bilgepump's notion. I won't shit on the side of the road for the sake of shitting on the side of the road. Nothing and no one, however, will come between me and dropping the kids off at the pool (or ditch, campsite, tree trunk, etc.) when their time comes.

Yes, those are my brown spots. Yes, those are your walls.

Rather than give me the pleasure of annoying her and responding, "LJ, I'm not here for your convenience. Enter your own survey result. Derr." AB2K simply responded "done." Well, this is no fun.

By the way, I don't mind at all "stinking up a stranger" who is in the stall next to mine. But I assume you really meant, "shitting in front of a stranger." Am I correct?

I`m a fairly shameless shitter, butI still picked in front of no-one. Main reason being that you`re always at a disadvantage and fairly helpless when either sitting or squatting in front of someone while dropping a load. You could be pounced on, robbed, or attacked and would have great trouble defending yourself. Even close friends or the people you sleep with might suddenly take a notion to pull a prank on you.

I picked alone. I pose two questions: What happens when you are in the shower, it is the only bathroom in the house, and someone else gets the urgent potty call? Do you allow the suffering party bathroom entry, knowing full well your environment is about to be ruined?

I am honestly surprised at the amount of so-called Shameless Shitters who will not shit in front of anyone, even the person they have sex with. I mean, really, you put the body parts in the other person's orifices, or allow their parts into your orifices, what's the difference if they see you poop? I also don't care if my friends see me poop, and honestly, if I had to crap badly enough I'd probably shrug off a stranger seeing me too.

Oh, and Logjam, I'm so sorry you didn't piss me off. I'm only too glad to put my magic powers to work for you. And by the way, it's durrrrr, not derrrr. Durrrrr.

Kisses to you, AB2K.

I voted for 5, but not having anything to do with exhibitionism. If I have to go, I'm going.

I'll poop in front of just about anyone, so long as I know that they don't give a crap. I try to respect the more 'sensitive' people.

I voted for #5; anyone stupid enough to watch me shit truly has no life....

I voted for option #2. I might poop in front of a close friend, under special circumstances. I am amazed that over half of the people surveyed would not poop in front of anyone at all. I do see where they are coming from though.

Jammin' lo'flo's since 1977.

i would dump a load in front of anyone and
am not ashamed to do so. When your caught out having to dump a hard-one i think its a
great comfort to have someone "help you thru
it" there is strength in numbers..Watching a
person taking on a difficult dump is fun and
hey you can learn a few tips as well..

I would rent out Yankee Stadium in the Bronx if I thought I could get 60K plus people interested in watching me take a dump. I agree with service it really helps to have strength in numbers especially when that dump is not fiber laden. You need all the support you can get. I am a shameless shitter and proud of it!

I'll crap in the presence of others (i.e. while the stall beside me is occupied) but not in front of (i.e. in line-of-sight) anyone. Does that make me shameful? I think not.

Maybe we should nuance the term "shameless". We could have "weak shameless shitter" for those who won't in view of others and "strong shameless shitter" for those who will.

What the heck does that fourth one mean? "I'd rather stink up a stranger"? What's that have to do with crapping in front of someone?
I assumed this was about pinching one before an audience. I get that there might be dire emergencies in which you have no alternative but to crap with others watching, but for the average person does that happen often, or ever?

Call me shameful if you want to, but I think I retain enough self respect to find a closed door, a tree, a bush, the back of a building...any place, in other words, other than in front of spectators.

Is this just another one of those surveys where we're scraping for a topic? I get a little queasy thinking there are adults who actually want others to believe that they would willingly, under no duress, take a crap in front of others as they watched. Wow.

_I picked #5, I think since it is a natural function of the body, you should just dump with whoever.______
Producing waste since 1967

I poop alone, door closed even when I am the only one home. When I was married a prize turd was proudly shown to the missus.

one day i had to poop so bad at a really fancy restaurant in NYC that i grabbed my best friend and made her get a plastic bag and hold it while i shit in it beside the restaurant in an alley. it was bad but someone had to do it. and i am not flexible enough. yeah it was gross glad i finally got to share it with someone.

yes i quite enjoy pooping and when i gotta go i gotta go. one day i was on a mountain biking expedition when i felt that pang in my butthole that i had to go. i told my sister and we pedaled into the woods for a second...there was poison ivy everywhere and i was to afraid to squat because an ichy buttcrack is no fun. i was trying so hard to hold it that i had my hand plugging the hole. ill admit it i was practically in tears. my sister told me to calm down and hold it but there was no way. i felt it coming out and i told her. she said to just push the rest out and we would be done with the hike in only a mile. i did one great push and it flew into my biker shorts in one gassy action. my sister just giggled and rubbed my back as we got back on the bikes. i felt it squish into my buttcrack. when we got back to the bike shop i immediately cleaned up in the bathroom and put on my jeans. i now know not to eat as much before i bike and to poop before i leave.
