I pooped with my toque on this morning and personally I would not repeat the experience.
In private washrooms where I have my shoes off, I squat with my feet planted on the toilet seat. This is healthier for your bowels and the natural way for poo to exit your body, unconstrained by the puborectalis muscle and with your colon straightened into a chute so it all falls effortlessly out. This also means that with my head pitched forward it is more likely for my toque to fall onto the floor rather than backward into the drink.
Having said that I still wouldn’t do it again since I like to keep as many of my personal items isolated from the bathroom as possible, and a hat is to me an item of defence used to feel cozy and protected against the elements and also the gaze of strangers. The bathroom or stall is where I can remove some or all of the social armour, including my toque.
