For me it is embarrassing to use others toilet , of course if is a very high emergency , i will ask permission.. I do not feel comfortable, if i must ask, "can I use your bathroom?"
Maybe i am too sensitive, but I need the comfort of my house to use the toilet, I can say that few times I used the toilets in the others houses, only if is an emergency as I said, is curious, but if I go , get stuck, may fear that somebody can hear noise or fear that i can carry any disease there, never know, even if a family is very clean. I think I have a phobia to use others toilets, and if i use it, i use more paper to cover the coils of the toilet.
I am really curious, if you same opinion as me, or am I weird, and i have a phobia?
About public toilets what to say I take all safety measures before using it!

HI ice!
I think if you do not want to use the toilets of others, it
is your personal choice and I won't say that it is a kind of phobia.
You could have your own preference for cleanliness and if you feel
that others may not be following the same standards of cleanliness
you may not use their toilets. In case of an emergency, I do not
mind using toilets of others.

i have the same feeling.. i am never comfortable in using other peoples toilet, i dont know why but i feel like i can feel so much better if i take a go unto my very own toilet. its crazy but i sometimes even tried to hold a very urgent call of nature cuz i dont want to take a ___ on other toilets.. i cant explain it myself..but its a relief that some people are like this too

Hey icesmile! I am like you! I don't like to use anyone's toilet
except my own! At least I know that mine is clean the way I
want it to be! I don't even like anyone else that come into my
house to use it either! I hate having to use toilets in some
of my friends homes! Some of them I don't mind as much as others
because I know some of them are like me and keep their bathrooms
very clean as I do! But, unfortunately there are times that
we have no choice! Just as when we are out and we have to use
public restrooms! I hate that more than anything! Sometimes
when I come home I feel like I have to take my clothes off and
shower right away and put on clean clothes! That is how much
I hate going into some of those disgusting restrooms!

likewise here.. as much as possible, i opt not to use others toilet unless it's really an emergency.. I'm not sure why but maybe it's related to my own behavior of being a little awkward to have someone use our toilet.. haha i don't know...

I really feel so uncomfortable to use other toilet. And i also ask them if they are not my close relatives or my friend. That's why before go others home i do my job in my home. Moreover i don't like public toilet as public toilet is so dirty.

I guess I can say the same thing, but if it's my friends' house I am at ease. But for emergencies, It can be pretty awkward trying to barge in on some others' houses and ask them to use their toilets. But i'd rather do it though than doing crazy stuffs on my way to work. LOL

I have no problem using a toilet in someone else's house. The way I see it, nature is going to call whether we want it to call or not. I would rather use a toilet and relieve myself, than be uncomfortable because I am too embarassed to use someone else's toilet. It's there to be used, is it not?

that is quite natural icesmile, although i would say i don't exactly find myself that hesitant to use other's toilet but yes i do prevent from using them unless i feel the need to use them, home is the best place our own place, the place most comfortable, umm you don't have a phobia hehe there are many who think like you and it's alright, yeah but you don't have to worry about bothering others much, they wont worry that much either, all this is for our self satisfaction, and don't talk about public toilets hehe..
hehe..

I think lots people will feel so. It's not comfortable to use other's toilet. We would rather using own than other's b'coz it's quite private matter, i think. just like wearing other's underwear...that's so disgusting. But, as u said we have no option if it's very high emergency, willy-nilly we excuse to use other's toilet.
