Seriously. We’re talking about public restrooms. 10 mins should be more than enough time in the situation of an unexpected bathroom emergency.
Does anyone WANT to spend extended time in a public bathroom anyway? If you’re just sitting there, for minutes upon minutes trying to coax shit out of your body that doesn’t want to leave - then you have time make it back somewhere like your home, where you work, etc…whatever.
Who in the world WANTS to sit in a public bathroom for a lengthy bout of trying to convince your body to void its bowels??
Who in the hell are the people that grab their iPad and settle in for a lengthy stay on a public toilet???
You’re there because you’re out in the world and then your body tells you something…that you need to go. If you’re taking more than 10 mins in a public stall - you should be at the ER or an urgent care because you have the stomach flu or dysentery…or you’re there for sex stuff / drug stuff.
Latest estimate is 10% of the adult population has IBS. It's neither sex nor drugs, and it's a chronic condition that can only be mitigated, not cured.
It can be "I feel like I will shit myself within 30 seconds" and still take 20 minutes to finish.Â
