The extra time spent sitting on the toilet waiting for other patrons of the men's room to leave. Usually occurs in corporate settings after malodorous toilet episodes.
"I had like a 7 minute shame delay because my boss was in the crapper next to me."

"I knew the guy in the stall next to me began a shame delay, but there was no way I was coming out first. However, after 4 minutes of silence we both gave up and went to wash our hands. It was awkward."
