oh my!!!

"It could cost U.S. employers between $2 billion and $4 billion to
comply
with an obscure Americans with Disabilities Act regulation meant to
protect
workers who are gun-shy in public restrooms. According to an informal
discussion letter the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
issued
in August 2011, 'paruresis' — more commonly known as 'shy bladder
syndrome'
— qualifies as a disability under the amended Americans with
Disabilities
Act. The International Paruresis Association defines the odd
affliction as
the 'inability to urinate with others present.' The Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the gold-standard of
psychiatrists, categorizes it as a social phobia that affects roughly
seven
percent of the population — approximately 17 million Americans."
