Doing math calculations or problems in your head helps to activate your brain cortex and blocks the inhibiting impulses going from your brain to your bladder.  You can choose fairly simple math calculations, such as the times table, starting from 1x1 = 1, 1x2 = 2, or the additions table, starting from 2+2 = 4, 2+3 = 5. You can also try more complex math problems, such as long division math problems or trying to solve complex mathematical equations, if you know any of them by heart. You can also look up equations on your smartphone if you are sitting down in the washroom stall. If you have access to games on your smartphone, you may find it helpful to distract yourself by playing your favorite games while you are in the washroom stall.  Alternatively, for men and boys, you can use earbuds to listen to music from your phone while you are at the urinal and sink area.  This will allow you to focus on something other than your own discomfort or embarrassment. Keep in mind your phone will likely pick up germs if you take it out and touch it in the bathroom stall. So, always clean your phone after you have used it inside a stall.  Please be aware of any school or workplace policies that may only allow for the use of phones during hours such as lunchtime or may prohibit phones in the restrooms altogether. This could be an article from the newspaper or from a magazine. Or, you could pull up reading material on your phone. Reading can act as a useful distraction while you use the public washroom. Bad smells in the bathroom can be an unwelcoming distraction for some. You can try to mask bad smells in the stall or the urinal by bringing in a small bottle of air freshener with you. You can then use it to freshen up the stall before or after you use it.  You may also want to bring in other hygiene products like hand sanitizer to make you feel as though you are not picking up any germs while you are using the washroom or antibacterial wipes in case there are no toilet seat covers. There are currently products on the market that can be sprayed in the toilet after you use the washroom to mask the smell. Carry a small bottle of this product in your bag so you can feel less anxious about any bad smells when you are in the washroom.

One-sentence summary -- Try doing a series of math problems in your head. Play games on your phone. Bring reading material into the stall. Use products to hide any unpleasant smells.

Article: You'll need at least three people to play, but this game can involve many players. With a large enough space and enough hiding spots, you could play with well over 20 players.  Get together a group of kids from your neighborhood, from school, or from after school clubs to play this game with you. Invite kids your age you see playing alone to come play Kick the Can. Say something like, "Hey, we're going to play a group game called Kick the Can. Would you like to play?" Bottles and cans are the typical choice for this game, but you can use anything that could be safely kicked some distance. Other options include balls, small trash cans, small boxes, plastic cones, a plastic bucket, and so on.  Give your item a few trial kicks. You don't want it to go too far or too short. Choose an object that can be kicked a medium distance. You may want to put some rocks into your item. Doing this to items like cans, bottles, and boxes can help you adjust the distance an object is kicked. The best play ares will be large, with plenty of hiding places. Playgrounds and parks work great, as do cul-de-sac streets (which are closed off at one end). Clearly agree on the boundaries of your play area with all players.  Natural features, like tree-lines, large rocks, and paths are a great way of clearly outlining the boundaries of your play area. If one of your boundaries is unclear, use other items, like branches, rocks, hats, cones, and so on to mark it. The jail is where players go when they're caught by the seeker. Your jail, much like your playing area, should have clearly defined boundaries. Some common places used for the jail include decks, patios, benches, porches, and so on.  If you don't have a clearly defined jail in your play area, make one by arranging branches, stones, cones, and more to form its boundaries. The jail should be large enough to fit as many players are playing, but not much larger than that. Use rock, paper, scissors to select the seeker or use whatever method you prefer. No matter how many players there are, there is only one seeker per game. After that, agree with other players on the time the seeker will count before searching for hiders.  The more time you have to hide, the more likely it is hiders will have a better hiding place. Use longer count times for the seeker for longer, more challenging games. Short count times can add an fast paced aspect to this game. If you and your friends like quick games, choose short count times. Alternatively, set up the item you're using in place of the can. Arrange this item in a central location in your playing area. This location should be wide open and difficult to sneak up on. You may want to locate your can close to your jail. This way, if the can is kicked, the seeker will have to run towards the jail while jailed players are running away.
