Is is so strange that I don't like to go to the bathroom with other people in the room? Especially if I'm, you know, sick. I mean, it's kind of a personal thing. But still...
It bugs me when girls go to the bathroom and then just stand in front of the mirror -- inspecting every strand of hair, every freckle, every fold in their clothing. Get out, dammit! Your hair is FINE, and I have to go!!!
Why do girls feel the need to...GATHER in school bathrooms? I can understand if maybe it's a place for them to escape to when they're sick of class, but in between classes...just socialize in the hallway! Bathrooms are for...well, you know! They're not party-houses! It's kind of awkward to have to DO YOUR THING when there are a bunch of giggling, gossiping girls spraying their hair and putting on foundation just feet away from you. And I'm sure it's awkward from the other end, too.
just put mirrors in the halls, that'll solve the problem

"just put mirrors in the halls, that'll solve the problem"
Then you'd have a serious traffic jam problem. As if highschoolers didn't pause randomly in the hall enough already. lol.
Sorry, I'm a late commenter to this blog, but here goes anyway:
Well, it's a normal worry about going to the bathroom in public facilities. I hate it too, but ever since I've been living in a dorm situation the pressure has lessened a little because let's face it, the bathroom is not always empty.
Yeah it is so annoying, especially since it is a bathroom, but i figured out that going to the bathroom while they are in there is the only way to get them out, i mean everyone goes to the bathroom, i don't see what the big deal is, I'm very phobic about bathrooms, I can't go even at home without the faucet on, but if you have to go extremely bad and theres people in there doing their makeup and you cant wait for them to leave oh well, it's not like you know them anyway, i mean, the embarrassment is what gets me, but sometimes i just dont care especially when I'm sick. but i do have the worst phobia ever of bathrooms, it sucks.
I can understand how you feel because its happened to me before that I would go to a public restroom to get sick on the toilet; after a while, I have to stop doing that because other people came in. Also, people should install air purifiers, air fresheners, etc. in restrooms just in case someone gets sick; so, they don't stink up the restroom.
When you think about it, it is more than a little silly that girls tend to congregate in the bathrooms! But, you often do hear very interesting conversations that would not normally take place in the hallways! Keep your ears opened and you may just discover some pretty interesting things.

I'm fine with going to the bathroom when other people are in there! I can't poop cause I think it would just sound gross for the other people but peeing is fine. I think everybody gets use to it. Everybody has to pee. I like eavesdropping on peoples converdations when I'm in the bathroom!! They are normally pretty interseting.
