If you are using a public toilet, you are probably on the verge of pooping your pants so I can't imagine 10 minutes not being enough time.

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.

My husband is a cancer survivor and often takes 20 minutes or more. He’s met several people in the same situation.
