Society & Culture Peeing in a public place

[Jonesy10]

I played cricket a few weeks ago at a big place where neither the oval we were playing at or the oval next to it had rooms or a toilet - only the oval at the opposite end, not ideal to walk to when you might need to pad up at any moment. It would be fine to go behind a tree, if the trees weren't all next to a tennis court with children playing on them. Crazy.

If you are out of sight, not in the vicinity of others, and there is no other alternative, then peeing in public is okay in my books if you have no choice.

When I used to go to the footy in the days of suburban grounds, blokes who could not be bothered walking to the toilet would sometimes go up to the back of the standing room area and piss against the fence.

I reckon I've pissed 15 times in public in the last 4-5 days

 

[Groupie_]

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.

No shit, that's a pisser (pun intended). I live right next to that park.

I have noticed they have just built a toilet there. WTF would a copper be doing walking through there, that's a strange place. Walking home from a big night at the Linc?

Have done it before. Used one of the portable urinals they have set up in the city on Friday and Saturday nights (in Perth). Barely cover you and anyone can walk past and have a peek, in fact a gay guy who was with about 5 girls came and had a chat. It was a pity he was the only one interested in having a chat/peek!

No Homo.

Didn't know what thread to put this in.

When you need to take a piss at a packed nightclub/pub etc.. go to the urinal and drop your dacks right down to your ankles and just act like its the most normal thing ever. Even give the bloke next to you the little "whats up mate" head nod..... always gets a good laugh from all the blokes in there.

^^^ thats nothing...I remember eating my breakfast in my motel beside the Ganges at Varanasi and admiring a couple of locals hanging number twos beside the River.

That was one of a dozen images seared into my memory...and that was 12 years ago.

Ive got a few good memorys from my time in Varanasi. An amazing place to visit.

When you are walking along the river you see the public cremations, and the bodies that don't get burt that just get wrapped up in a sheet and dropped in the middle of the rive... walk along a bit further people bathing in it.. a bit further up someone washing their buffallo... slightly further up they are doing all their washing and all the bed sheets drying on the banks.

You just know your hostel/hotels bed sheets have been washed in there.

Got a few good uhhh "bathroom" stories from my time in India and Sri Lanka.

Yeah. The linc had just shut and the dunnies across the road from them were shut. They have since been demolished.

Slightly off topic but good to see that Summadayze in Adelaide on NYE had portable urinals for the males. First festival I've been to that has had these and a smart idea as at previous festivals I've been to guys just start pissing anywhere as soon as there were lines for the porta-loos.

If you gotta go, you gotta go. Otherwise you could get uromysitisis and die.

Did it right on Fitzroy St outside Robarta. It was so instinctive of me at that i didn't realise i was doing anything illegal at the time since i was so inebriated. Apparently females were crossing the road to avoid me LoL

 

[Papa Juggs]

It's not a good public piss if you're not spotted by people you will never see until well after you put the hose away

When i was in Osaka a few times i saw a taxi driver pissing in the gutter whilst they were waiting in a long line of taxis.

In the Czech Republic, you can fairly well pee where you wish if you exercise the slightest bit of discretion. A good friend of mine is a professor at one of the universities in Prague - within spitting distance of the Charles Bridge actually. When I first went over to visit him, we were walking down the street, he kind of turned off to face an alley and took a whizzer. This was in broad daylight with people walking by and all without breaking the conversation we were having. Then he zips up and off we went down the street without a care. So I eventually started doing the same thing. Got used to it. No one cared.

They also don't have any 'open container laws.' They will roast a drunk driver but any passenger can be drinking as much as he wants at any time. You can pull right next to a cop at a stop, and guzzle away. The cops don't care as long as it's not the driver. In most towns there's a pub within easy walking distance of wherever you happen to be at any given moment. People would take empty 2 liter bottles to the pub, have them filled and walk back home. If they had to piss on the way back, then of course they did. Very civilized if you ask me.

Where I live anyone walking who isn't obviously doing it for exercise is viewed as a cretin who doesn't own a vehicle. If you're walking with beer you're viewed as a worthless drunk who doesn't have a vehicle. That's a sad state of affairs. When I came back from Czech I started walking the the three blocks for a beer run if I'm not buying for a house-load of guests or if there's not a blizzard on. I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about it. I still don't have my neighborhood trained so that I can take a leak any old place, but I won't hesitate at night. Any country you visit you tend to find these little things you wish would catch on at home. In Czech, their attitude toward beer and pissing is highly admirable.
