Are you a peeker?

[Fuzywuzy 50]

Hey all, 

Guys if you needed to use a public bathroom are you a peeker? Or ladies if you’re forced to pee in a group in public or restrooms do you try to sneak a peek or give an extra listen to pee streams hitting the water?

At a row of urinals I will sometimes peek a bit, if there are no dividers. However, I haven't been in that situation for a long time since at the only place I regularly visit that has urinals (at work), most bathrooms have only one urinal, and the few that have more are not frequently used, plus it would be an awkward place to do that anyway. When I used to be on a college campus it would happen more.

The kind of opposing thing though is that I can be a bit "pee shy"--not like because I actually don't WANT to pee next to someone, it's a completely subconscious thing, but it means that it's often easier to get started if there aren't already others at the urinals next to me when I walk up. And I think that has gotten worse the rarer peeing in a crowded bathroom is. Back in high school and early college I don't remember it even being much of a thing (despite the fact that in high school was when I first started peeing standing up), but then it gradually developed. I suppose I've gotten more self conscious in general since then, maybe that has something to do with it.

I NEVER peek into a stall in a public restroom, not only would it be weird (especially if the person inside is doing the "other function"), but I wouldn't see anything because most men face away from the door to pee anyway--which brings me to the next thing. I'm sure some women will answer, but my immediate thought upon reading your question was, remember that the vast majority of women's restrooms have all their fixtures in stalls with closing doors. Yes, particularly in the US there are cracks on either side of the door that you could glance in through (or put your eye to if you were really naughty), but that would be rude and you would be unlikely to see anything. Women do tend to pee facing the door, but whether they are sitting or hovering, the pee is falling BEHIND their legs. You'd need a woman to be in the stall who is peeing with her legs apart and somehow have both legs off to the side rather than straight ahead, to have the space between her legs line up with one of those cracks. Otherwise you'd just see the edge of her thigh.

Peeing in a group outside is a totally different matter...
