I am not sure, but I also think there is a fable from Aesop that deals with this…

Me, as a 12 year old: “I don’t want to do #2 in the public restroom. What if some fat, nasty foreign man with a harry ass just took a big shit in there?”

::: 20 years later :::

… Me, an overweight and nasty 32 year old foreign man with a harry ass that just took a tremendous shit in the subway station bathroom and has sweat beads on his forehead because there’s no air conditioning nodding at a twelve your old boy who is now scared to use the toilet but is left with no other option…

:::: how the tables have turned!!! ::::

Moral of the story: do not be afraid of #2 in the public bathroom - for you shall one day become what you fear most. Embrace it.
