Well done for your efforts on "our" behalf.
Can I just say that I agree entirely with Mike's observations about the use of cubicles ? It seems to be more and more common for men to use them just for a pee rather than standing too close to another person. And why not, if you feel more comfortable and it allows you to "go" ? I have a friend who had no social life and was scared to go into a public loo a few years ago, but has now dealt with his paruresis by finding that he can pee without difficulty in a cubicle. His life has been opened up by this.
It has taken me a time to see sense about this as I belong to a generation old enough to remember having to pay to use a cubicle, so who would pay a penny just to have a pee ? You used a urinal for that - or in my case you often couldn't ! So using a cubicle went against my instincts - it would have been regarded as odd. But now they are readily available I can see the sense of it and, if all else fails, I will use one myself, and I advise other sufferers to do the same if they need to. You are doing nothing unusual nowadays.
