Do you use the bathroom....

with the door open.  I think that this topic is funny because some people don't give a flyin flip and others say it is completlely wrong. 

So what about you?  Do you pee with the door open when DH is in the house?

Re: Do you use the bathroom....

  • Im a closed door girl...

    ALSO

    DH has MAYBE ever heard me fart maybe 5 times....burps, maybe one per month.

    The funny thing is, I am soooo not a lady...But around him I totally am. hahaha

  • (LOL, makes me think of that SATC episode with Carrie not wanting the door open)

    No way!  Door is always closed.

    Years ago a friend of mine didn't care if the door was open, no matter who was around.

  • I am pee shy so I have to have the door shut.  And definately while pooping, seriously who wants to hear/see that?!

    M on the other hand, he pee's with the door wide open, but like me, door is closed for #2. (thank God)

    I am not a lady though, I have no class or shame, M has heard numerous bodily noise come from my orphases.

  • I'm door closed kind of girl.  Even when I'm home alone, lol.

    Me three!  However....D will walk on in even if the door is closed and it drives me bonkers.  Just because he does everything with the door open doesn't mean that I want to have him see me. 
  • Door closed. Well, almost closed. Our bathroom door doesn't really close all the way, so you could push it open (and the pups sometimes do!).

    But when I was single (without puppies) and sometimes still if I'm home alone, I will leave it open. But it's very rare now, cause Neela especially tends to follow me around, so she'll wait outside the door for me!

    LOL, Bella does that too!  She'd love to just be in the bathroom with you if she could.

  • Closed! I don't even like when people talk to me while I'm in a stall in public or when girls want me to accompany them to the bathroom (ahem, MIL). Can't say the same for my mom. She leaves that sucker wide open even for #2 unless there's company. *shudder* AND if you're in there brushing your teeth or whatever, she'll come right on in and do her business with you standing there (I leave immediately!). It DRIVES ME INSANE! She is a super christian, very conservative person and I just don't get it. BLECH!

    Ours do this too.  I think it's hilarious.  They act like once I go in I may never come out and the loook on their faces when I do come out is priceless.  Like oh thank goodness she didnt get sucked in.  Since D leaves the door open, Daisy tends to get a little too close for comfort for me and almost gets peed on her head.

    Silly dog.

    Dixie used to go in with M, until she DID get peed on (she'd get super nosey and hop up on the toilet).  Gross.

  • If I'm just peeing I don't mind leaving the door open, hubby sometimes will walk by the bathroom and close it while laughing because he thinks its funny.

    My bathroom do is the same way and Kieran often comes in and visits.  DH and I are definitely closed door people.  Sometimes I will talk to him outside the door when he is going #2 just cause I know it bothers him, hehe.  But I would never walk in. 

    Funny story:  When I was in college I joined a sorority.  The first Fraternity party I attended with my sisters I had to go to the bathroom.  I told a few of them and the next thing I know I was in the bathroom peeing with like 5 other girls.  It bothered me at first but by the time I graduated I was so use to it.

  • I like it closed for #2 but #1 not as big of a deal. DH closes the door for both. DH has also never heard me poot, well maybe once. I've heard him twice, and smelled numerous (rank is not even the word...Ick!).

    And Snap likes to come in with me and lay on the rug infront of the tub while I use the bathroom. I don't mind him in there so I'll let him in.
    I also like to call people while I'm #2ing. It's funny when I call my Aunt, She'll say "What chu doin'" and I'll say "I'm doin' a doo doo." LOL!! We are completely strange but I only say that to her.

    OMG! I MUST be a prude!!!
    Closed... and def not on the phone. I hang up on people when they call me and they're in the bathroom...

  • #2 = door closed all the way! N has trouble peeing in front of anyone, so he closes the door at least part way for that. I have NO trouble peeing in front of anyone, so I don't care either way. But I shut it to be polite unless I'm home alone, even though I am the fastest pee in the west, and it only takes me a few seconds :).
  • The dogs come in anyways, so I just half-heartedly shut the door.  Ours is on the second floor though so usually DH is downstairs anyways.

    Nowadays, I pee while wearing a baby though, so privacy is out the door.  (He's in a Moby wrap asleep and if I have to go, I am going...)

  • We are door closed people. If I'm the only one home and just let Rhodey out of his crate, I'll leave it cracked because he freaks out and might come in to make sure I didn't leave through the pipes, but otherwise we're closed all the way.  DH is pee shy and even if I'm in the shower and he has to come in (or..he gets out of the shower first and I'm still in there and he has to pee if its one of those showers:Wink ) then he like has to tell me and I have to reassure him that I'm not looking at him through the glass doors of the shower. He's funny. It doesn't bother me nearly as much. But I grew up with a cloth shower curtain, and one bathroom house so people had to come in all the time when you were in the shower.
  • door closed. 

    my uncle was visiting from out of town a few weeks ago and he is a door open guy.  it's really creepy...

    You mean you don't just pee in the shower?

  • I close the door, but for show, really... Ginger always pushes it open.  I lock it for company.

    DON'T talk to me from the next stall.  Ew.  And WHY are some girls on their cell in a public pathroom.  I don't want your friends to hear either of us doing our business.  And you can call me back when you're done.

    J takes 30 min or so to go #2.  He has his own bathroom for this purpose.  His laptop and cell go with him.  Ew.

    LMAO!  DH takes forever for #2.  He brings a book with him.  On occasion I've heard him talk on the phone while in the bathroom.  I called him out on it, and he was like, no way you're lying.  I insisted, and he finally relented and admitted to talking to people, but said that no one can tell.  H.E.L.L. to the N.O!  People can most certainly hear that, gross!  

    A male coworker of mine brings a newspaper into the (public) bathroom at work.  Ewww.

    All this reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George brings a book into the public bathroom, and they force him to buy it.  Hahaha!

    Yes, M take longer sometimes because he brings his PSP in with him and "gets caught up" in his games while in there.  Main reason when buying a house we will be getting one with 2 bathrooms!

  • Yep, DH is the same. He'll usually grab a book/magazine. He always asks me if I'm done in the bathroom if I'm getting ready before he goes in, he knows it'll be a while!
  • #1 open, #2 closed! DH and I never poo infront of eachother! But, peeing is no biggie . I alos take baths with the door open, the Pups love to visit me while I soak!

  • It depend on where I am in the house. If I am in our master bathroom, I leave it open. If I'm going #2 I will push it so it's cracked. If I am downstairs, I push it as I go in so it's just cracked but like others, my cats just come in and push it wide open. The only time those little guys want on my lap is when I'm on the toilet... lol.
  • Usually closed, unless I had to dash to the bathroom cuz I was about to have an accident. 
  • N also takes forEVER for #2, and takes magazines or books in with him. I don't understand it at all. Maybe men's bodys just work differently? Because it barely takes me longer than #1. I couldn't drag it out (ok, that sounds gross) for 20-30 minutes if I wanted to! And I certainly don't want to!
