Society & Culture Peeing in a public place

[The Dice Man]

Maybe this belongs in a thread about social etiquette, i dunno. But if a city or a country doesn't provide places for a man to slash or a woman to swish, what are we expected to do?

Is it bad manners to jump behind a wall, hedge, car, princess park to unleash?

Where I live you gotta pay to piss. A disgrace. A basic denial of human requities. If a man, or woman is discreet, surely there is no problem?

Does anyone complain about a dog pissing against a tree?

I think it was Queensland, you are legally allowed to piss on the rear wheel on the passenger side of a car. Dunno why thats a law, but meh. As far as everywhere else, as long as nobody can see your junk, unless they want to, I don't see a problem with people pissing in an alleyway or anything, its not like im eating off the ground where they just pissed.

 

[Poseidon]

Pissing anywhere should be legal as long as it's out of the way, like down an alleyway or somewhere where people aren't going to be sitting in or stepping in. It doesn't make sense that you can dump out water anywhere but not piss, they both dry up ffs. Just another excuse for them to write tickets and take our $$$

Twice in my whole life I've pissed in a public place (once on an empty block while walking to the train station and once in an alley). Nothing wrong with it as long as it's not in the public eye.

 

[Slax]

See absolutely no problem provided you do it out of clear view. Done it many a time and always try and do it behind a tree, or better behind a large shrub.

I was at a party/gig at a warehouse in Fitzroy the other week - It wasn't a 'real' venue as such, and there was only one toilet in the whole place. Pretty soon the lines for the one toilet were ridiculous. Naturally, alot of blokes, including myself, went looking outside for somewhere to slash.

Unfortunately though, Fitzroy is so built up that I found it really, really hard to find an appropriate place. I eventually went behind a dumpster but I did not feel it was very 'out of the way' - I realised that it is not very often that I ever come across a situation where I feel like there is nowhere I can go slash.

As a keen golfer at a private club, I've often shaken my head at the difference between the number of guys seen finding a tree or bush on a Saturday compared to hardly anyone doing it on a Sunday when there are more women about. Are women really that more offended by urination? As stated earlier, it's not like they can see anything?

I got charged for doing it a couple of years ago after the pub closed. I was with my wife and was walking home at about 1am. The walk is about 1km and there is a park on the way home. Half way through my slash a copper comes up with a torch (What he was doing in the park on foot I will never know). Anyway he was an a-grade can’t and proceeded to book me. I was asking him if he was joking or not and he wasn’t having a bar of it. 2 weeks later I get a $478 fine in the mail!!! The only way to avoid paying the fine was to take it to court. Took it to court and the Judge thought the cop was an a-grade can’t and agreed that there was nothing I could have done. In the end I still had to pay a $200 donation to the “Bill Hutchinson Foundation” which was cool as it is an EFC charity arm. Still cost me 2 hundy for a slash but at least I saved myself $278.

Funny part is that there is now a toilet erected in the park. Anybody that knows the area is Lincoln Park in Essendon.

.

Did you claim it on Tax? I had a court ordered donation off 300, claimed that shit on tax 4 months later. Was like hiding it somewhere to stop me spending it.

There are very few better feelings in life than taking a wizz outdoors. Just something about the freedom of it all.

In terms of in public though, i don't think it should be illegal if you are out of the way. Obviously someone draining the dragon in the middle of a footpath wouldn't be cool, but if you find a tree or dumpster to go behind it should be all cool in my opinion.

Just do what they do in France and show disregard for basic rules. Piss wherever you want.

It's the only reason I've ever ventured into a McDonalds in the last 10 years or so (well, strictly speaking, one of 2 reasons).

 

[kickazz]

Agree with the genral consesus that it's fine so long as you make an effort to be discreet. I remember seeing a couple of guys pissing on a wooden fence opposite the College Lawn a few years ago. It was 3pm on a Sunday - disgraceful.

Me and a mate got arrested by the cops in Freo for taking a slash in an alleyway late at night, we got taken to the Freo police station and got charged with disorderly conduct. We were only 17 so had to go to childrens court where we got let off with a first offence, the judge didn't seem too impressed with the cops wasting her time.

How else are we meant to mark our territory?

Clearly there is only one solution.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Marlowe]

I agree - whizzing in a quiet, isolated public locale is (or should be) 100% totally justifiable, however unsanitary, when you're busting and indoor plumbing is not accessible.

However, 1) a sidewalk is not a toilet, and 2), a water bottle is not a viable alternative, especially when shrubbery is nearby, as I learnt on a grade 6 camping trip.

Pee where you like just don't flash the jewels.
It's a basic human function...you really can't get more basis other than breathing.
A mate got pinged by the cops for peeing into a hedge at 4am quite a few years back and he was charged with indecent exposure, although you could only see his back, fully clothed from the road.
He went to court and the Mag called the arresting officer an idiot and dismissed the case. We all laughed at the tool, but all got several traffic infringements over the next couple of months.
Humorless heck.

As a last resort but provided you are discrete, it's ok.
