"If you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

When you need to relieve yourself quickly, you go to a public restroom. However, for many people, that is not an option.

There, it seems physically difficult to urinate and that's because your sphincter muscles freeze up when you're among other people. These muscles manage how much urine comes out of one's bladder.

Once they become frozen, you are unable to urinate. It can occur in a public restroom, a private bathroom, or even your home if other people are there.

In other words, when other people are around, it might be difficult or impossible for someone with paruresis (shy bladder syndrome) to urinate. Men and women of various races are impacted by this syndrome.

Paruresis is a sporadic occurrence, similar to a sort of performance anxiety, in moderate cases. When paruresis is severe, a person can only urinate at home by themselves. 

The OP came to the AITA subreddit community to talk about his co-worker, who apparently has a shy bladder. The men's room where the OP works has a wall of urinals and four stalls, but this guy would never lift the seat when he urinates.

Instead, he urinates all over the toilet, and the OP is even surprised he doesn't hit the walls. The OP decided to put up a sign, which led to this "shy bladder" guy embarrassing himself in front of the whole office.

The headline makes an entrance...

The guy must have a firehose and a sore back because he never lifts the sea

The thing is none of them knew for sure if it was him that did it

Comments came in their hundreds and we've gathered some of the most upvoted ones for you to read through below

This is so accurate

This Redditor can't wait to hear what HR has to say

The guy sounds like a pointer but not a setter

The OP didn't even know it was him and he exposed himself

The guy doesn't have to urinate on the toilet seat

The OP should make sure he contacts HR as well

Something tells this Redditor that it's the message and not the medium

The guy needs to learn to clean up after himself

The OP is only trying to resolve an issue which affects everybody

The OP didn't embarrass him, he did it himself

He needs to learn to aim for the actual toilet

Making a mess out of one's self the more

The OP should go ahead and put the signs back up

We do hope he cleans up too

Some guys do spray more than others

The OP only asked for people to clean up after themselves

He should be making use of the seat

The OP didn't exactly target him

These signs are seen in work places afterall

The dread of public speaking is thought to be the most prevalent form of social phobia, with paruresis coming in second. Most people initially suffer paruresis in school, but the shy bladder guy in this story appears actually to know what he's doing.

The OP was declared not the AH, and you can drop your own verdict in the comments section below.
