Get the Shy Asshole mug.
Coined by Larry David in the "The Acupuncturist" episode of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Shy/Asshole Confusion is when one mistakes a shy person's quiet demeanor for that of an asshole.
Larry: I don't know why you call him an asshole. He's not an asshole, he's just shy.

Cheryl: No, he's not shy. He thinks he's smarter than everbody else and he sits there and he judges and he-

Larry: No, he doesn't, he's just shy! You've got shy/asshole confusion, my friend.

Get the Shy/Asshole Confusion mug.
When you go to a bathroom to take a shit, but someone else is already shitting, so you wait or go to another bathroom.

Also known as scaredy butt, cautious/shy sphincter, or covert bombing ass.
It took me 20 minutes to find a good place to shit because of my shy asshole syndrome.

I was polite today; decided to wait until after everyone left work to unleash my covert bombing ass.

Scaredy butt had to wait until we got home from the football game before he was comfortable deucing.
