If you are going to someone's house for the first time, are you shy to go to the bathroom?
are you less shy if you know the person fairly well but this is the first time at their home?
or are you just as shy as when you hardly know the person but you are visiting this person because your friend is going over and has asked you to come with them?

Nope, I never get shy going to a one's washroom. I have learned from one of my teacher explaining to us that the cleanliness of one's house can be judge by the way they attend to their washroom. My family knows this already and sometimes I often tell this story to my friends so that they too will know how important the washroom to other people.

Not shy at all. Regardless of a person's status in life, what's in their bathroom, or anything else about them, nature calls everyone in the same way. If I have to go, I have to go, and that's all there is to it.

I am a bit shy when using the bathroom at a stranger's place and even at a good friend's place! There is just no place like home for some jobs if you get my drift! However, when nature calls and I can't wait, I have to go at someone's house. There is always the fear that when one flushes it won't go down, or will run over or that there won't be adequate toilet paper or it will leave a mark in the bowl or....!!!

yep all those things are true, I grab the toilet paper and clean the mark as best I can if one is left.

Nope, not at all. The way I see it, we all have to do the same things, whether some admit to it or not. If I worried about what they would think of me, that would be silly. We're all human.

I am a bit shy when I first use the rest room in someones house yes...not real sure why though because everyone pees but I think it is just the unknown. I just hope that if I need to use the rest room it is far enough away from where they are hanging out that way they can not hear me pee. It is like that in public restrooms as well..I don't sit on public toilets whether they say they are not the yucky I still refuse so I always have to assume the "stance" and at times when you are in a rest room and it seems to be even louder because of the echoes so that can be embarrassing LOL But I guess I would rather have them hear me pee then to smell me poo....that is something I only do at home

I can be a little uncomfortable in that situation but mostly if I'm at someone's house for the first time and not staying for a lengthy visit. For example, if I was just supposed to drop something off, I feel like it's an imposition to ask. If I'm visiting for a meal or a more lengthy stay, it doesn't bother me.

it doesn't really bother me either but I do have friends that just can't go to the washroom in somebody else's house.

I feel very shy even to use the toilet in a new house even in my house when guesta are all there.
I usually avoid going to bathroom or toilets in other's house.

Sometimes. Usually depends on whether it is a man's house or a woman's. A woman will understand the look and just direct you. A man will take alittle more understanding. Their bathroom's are usually dirtier and they may be alittle ill at ease to have me go into it. It depends on the type of person he is.

Definitely NO my friend particularly if it would really necessary to use it....Why should I be ashamed. I think we have all the rights to use unless for the reason of "not available" or " out of order ".... thanks

I suppose it would depend on the state of the rest of the house. There is nothing really to worry about other than it being clean.

Well, I never sit on a toilet that isn't mine anyway so I guess it would depend on how bad I had to go.
