19 Awkward Public Bathroom Moments We've All Been Through

Welcome to the jungle.

Why is it that humans turn into animals the moment they're in a toilet that isn't their own? Depending on the public bathroom you're in, and whether your male or female, the situations can vary - but it's safe to say that shared lavatories are home to some of the downright weirdest happenings of mankind. But do we ever really discuss it? Of course not. These bodily functions are completely natural; yet we still can't help but try to conceal the fact we let off flamboyant farts in the middle of a shopping mall loo. We've all been in that situation where nature calls; and you seriously cannot wait 'til you get home. What's obvious, however, is that people deal with public pooping in different ways: some horrifyingly embrace it; proudly grunting with "better out than in" declarations... and others (mainly due to the aforementioned horrors) face torturous awkwardness whenever they enter a cubicle. It's those cringe-inducing moments that follow.
