The problem with public toilets They are few and far between, and they either have pee on them or backsplash. Thankfully, this one only had backsplash on it because I was peeing for over a minute and would not have been able to hover for that long. I'm used to hearing other people flushing in other bathrooms. It's weird, but I can handle that. What I couldn't handle was being able to hear them speaking through the walls. I couldn't understand, but they were saying, mind you, up until the end, when all of a sudden, I could hear very clearly that someone had walked into the wrong bathroom.
