1. (Stall Waiting) (8192↑, 1286↓)
When you realize that you and your neighbor have finished using the bathroom at the same time so you delay exiting the stall a few seconds to avoid any uncomfortable eye contact or "excuse me"s while leaving the stall. Wait period is usually until the person reaches the buffer zone of the sink, where all normal social etiquettes are re-activated.

"Hmm...Bob and I just flushed at the same time. I better wait a few seconds so I don't run into him."

2. (Stall Waiting) (55↑, 77↓)
Stall Waiting occurs when two women who are [pee shy] occupy [adjacent stalls]. They can't empty their [bladders]when anyone is nearby because it makes a [noise] when they [urinate] into the [toilet]. So they wait until one gives up still with a painfully [full bladder] and leaves. If there are no other persons in the Ladies Room, the woman who is still in the stall is able to pee after [holding her bladder] for [all day] at work. It was 3 p.m. She last peed at 7 a.m.

My girl friend Joan hates Stall Waiting. She [can't pee] in a a [private stall] when there are lines of women waiting for each toilet in a crowded [rest stop] Ladies Room. When she got back in the car, she cried. I asked her what was wrong. She reminded me that we started out 6 hours ago. This is the second time she couldn't pee. Her [bladder] was [bulging] painfully. That turned me on. It also happens with guys. There is a sophmore nearby in our dorm at the university who stands at the [urinal] every morning and [can't pee a drop] and [relieve] his [pee full morning bladder]. He has a bad case of [paruresis].

3. (stall waiting) (12↑, 36↓)
The near certainty that if you don't stand right outside the only stall in the bathroom, waiting for its occupant to finish, someone will slip in ahead of you once it's vacated. This is exacerbated by the equal certainty that your date will conclude you've slipped out the back door of the restaurant if you don't return to the table immediately and explain what's happening. It's a good reason to take a cell phone to the bathroom.

So this guy is taking forever to leave the stall, two other people are lined up outside the men's room, and my date calls my cell phone to say she's sure I have commitment issues. I tell her I'm on stall waiting, and I'll be back just as soon as possible.
