Nature often calls at the most inopportune times, but how you deal with that crisis can say a lot about you. Psychologists have discovered that healthy, self-confident women can handle intense public bathroom pressure. But other, less fortunate women suffer from a grave affliction known as Public Bathroom Paranoia (PBP). First reported by Katie Couric of TV's hard-hitting "Today Show," PBP is a crippling disease that can cause deep psychological trauma, unsanitary menstrual cycles and intense bladder pain. Take this quiz to find out if you are a PBP victim:

1. You feel your period start, but when you arrive at the public restroom, there are no more tampons left in the vending machine. Do you:
   
   1. Unabashedly ask every woman that comes through the door if she has a spare tampon in her purse.
      
   2. Buy a bulky sanitary napkin, even though you haven't used one since the seventh grade.
      
   3. Ignore your situation, hoping nothing seeps through your clothes.
      

2. As usual at the bar, there is an endless line for the women's room. The men's john is empty, though, and your situation is growing desperate. Do you:
   1. Use the men's room ­ even if it has no doors on the stalls ­ without hesitation.
   2. Use a friend as a lookout outside the men's room door and get in and out as quickly as possible.
   3. Continue to wait in the women's room line, even though a group of seven underage girls just cut in front of you.

3. While at work, you notice that it's time to change your feminine hygiene product. Do you:
   1. Clutch tampon in your hand and gesture wildly with it as you walk with a co-worker down the hall to the bathroom.
   2. Slip the product discretely into your pocket on your way to the john.
   3. Wait until the bathroom is completely empty to unwrap your tampon behind the protective cover of the stall; you wouldn't want the crinkling paper to alert anyone to your "Time of the Month."

4. While reapplying your lipstick, you overhear a sobbing, hysterical woman say that her boyfriend of three years is leaving the bar with another woman. Do you:
   1. Secretly hope she's not talking about the man who is waiting for you in the parking lot.
   2. Offer some male-bashing insights and helpful support in her time of deepest woe.
   3. Pretend you don't hear her. Even though you think her boyfriend is a bastard, you wouldn't want her to think you've been eavesdropping.

5. On a camping trip, you need to take a leak, but no one thought to bring any toilet paper. You:
   1. Thank God that you made everyone stop at the Taco Bell before heading into the wilderness. You're pretty sure there's a spare burrito wrapper on the floorboard of the car.
   2. Make a beeline for the woods. You've drip-dried before, and you'll do it again.
   3. Walk around the campsite in excruciating pain looking for a clean "Johnny on the Spot."

6. Wild on a shopping spree in the Village, it's become an urgent matter to find a restroom. Do you:
   1. Walk into the first store you pass, demand to use the facilities and refuse to take no for an answer.
   2. Head for a McDonald's and buy a coke. They can't deny you the right to use their toilet if you're a paying customer.
   3. Cut your shopping trip short. As long as the F train doesn't go out of service, you're pretty sure you can make it home in time.

7. You've scored big with the hottest guy in the bar. At the end of the night, he suggests slipping into the restroom for a quickie. Do you:
   1. Beat him to the bathroom door.
   2. Go for a quick smooch in the john but save the lovin' for later.
   3. Slap him in the face and go home alone.
