You can hold a poop while peeing but you can't hold a pee while pooping.

Interestingly enough, I've reached my wits end with paruresis (shy bladder) and have stopped trying to pee in occupied public washrooms entirely. It's pointless. I won't be able to go. But I did find that if I just go to the stall and pretend I'm taking a shit, the pee flows like wine. Doesn't matter if there's one or several people in there. The real struggle is when the bathroom is initially empty, so I think I'll use the urinal after all. You bet your ass thirty guys walk in before I can start.

I have a real admiration for dudes who just piss, shit and fart freely in a public space. It must be positively liberating. Like a pack of ancient kings, burping and laughing and feasting on chicken.

Oh man I understand your pain brother. Have the same issue but I got "lucky" and was forced out of it. Was in a situation where I had to piss/shit in a public bathroom for 4+ years. Still happens sometimes when I'm in unfamiliar places and there's more than 1 other person in there. Don't know what it is about the anxiety man. Just feels impossible sometimes.

Some people can, and those people should not be trusted

Just last week I was pooping and when I was done I noticed that I didn't pee. It was weird. So somehow it is possible but I don't know how I did it. The mysteries of the human body.

all poopoo times are peepee times but not all peepee times are poopoo times

I can do both, but why would I do either?

Well, brown and yellow rarely pour out simultaneously.
Most people first get the crayon out then comes the juice.

You can poop and you can pee. But you can't pop and not pee.

I always say that around polite company and formal occasions.
