Man weeing in street!

[GrossBehaviour]

Hello dear Mumsnetters!
So this happened yesterday. Not altogether sure what if anything can be done about it but me and my daughter are so shocked about this 24 hours later! She took the dog for a walk yesterday down a quiet residential street at about 4pm. Still light. As she walked down the road she saw a man walking towards her. He saw her, turned towards a hedge and started relieving himself! Just like that! A very well dressed presentable looking guy she said. She didn't see anything as she quickly looked away when she realised what was happening but said she heard the gushing sound like it was a horse weeing she said! She walked hurried past and came back to the house feeling completely weirded out. I don't think it's a police matter is it? She has a description but it could quite literally be anyone?

In fact WTAF are some of these responses?

Where are all the level headed wise mumsnetters this evening?

This thread is full of examples of posters witnessing people being genuinely caught short, or not realising they were being watched whilst having a wee or even a poo.

That's not what happened to the OP's daughter. This bloke saw her and then decided to have a wee. He wasn't waving his genitals in her face, or masturbating but he chose to get them out and take a wee.

This really really isn't ok. I would be upset by it too and I'm old and ugly, have seen plenty of penises, and seen people having a pee by the roadside without flinching.

that is omg, if I were to be in need of a toilet usually the nearest, pub, cafe, or supermarket are best locations

I'd report this. It sounds like he deliberately peed in front of your daughter.

It’s not nice, to put it mildly, but just one of those things. I remember my young dds, maybe 8 and 11, seeing a scruffy old man, evidently more than a bit pissed, weeing in a car park. Another passing man said, ‘You disgusting man!’ to which the old bloke replied in slurred tones, ‘I was bursting!’

TBH dds just found it funny, and this was many years ago.
I do find it weird that you and your dd are still ‘shocked’, let alone thinking of the police.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER I am not still shocked and I'm not considering calling the police as I have explained.
What I am shocked about is the responses on this post.
I'm not in France or Hackney or some random car park or outside a hospital or in the middle of a city centre at chucking out time or any of the other completely unrelated settings described by many of you. It's been an eye opener to be told by so many that I need to get a grip and that I'm being ridiculous. To be told that for my daughter to be so shocked and over dramatic she must surely have been sexually assaulted or raped at some point as that is the only sensible conclusion the poster could reach. As far as I know she hasn't.. but what if she had? She walked towards the guy, they made eye contact, he turned and started to piss. Yes she has seen a penis before ( she tells me everything, more than I would care to know at times!) and so have I. I'm not some pearl clutching prude as suggested by many of you. The way this happened suggests to me he wasn't caught short or had a medical condition. She and I both think he got a kick out of it.
@freckles20 makes some excellent points. But it seems we are both in the minority by a long way.

OK, OP, but from what you said - ‘weeing like a horse’ does imply a gush, and therefore a very full bladder, so maybe he was caught a bit short.
Still gross, though, and very possibly from pervy motives.

I get what OP means. Let's face it, it's predominantly men who do this. You see it everywhere. Laybys usually stink of piss, so do any alleyways.
I conclude that many men ( and some women) are not toilet trained past toddlerhood when parents let them go wherever, to the need to wait for a wc. As an aside, men's clothes are designed for easy access to their penis. Cultural babying of men 😉
Those with medical issues usually take steps to prevent toileting issues.

I suppose some replies here are just people saying 'I'm so cool I think it's funny/normal in my world/your problem/your daughters problem'. Some are just intent on minimising/story topping. But a few agree it's not normal or decent behaviour. It would make me uneasy if it were my neighbourhood. And anyone who thinks this is normal in a French residential suburb just doesn't know what they are talking about.

I personally would have reported via the online incident form or 101, because it could be part of a pattern of public order offences.

Yes overall seeing public urination is hardly hard core criminal or even unusual but it is at 4pm in sight of a young woman. That said there must have been a dozen of more guys weeing on the m5 on the 27th that I saw, completely stopped traffic for around 90 minutes. Funny enough we women held on! (Ddog joined the men on the hard shoulder )

I used to live in a mews above Iceland and caught a bloke pissing against the wall. I yelled at him and his reply was "Can't help it can I? " (must have been to the pub) and I replied "Oh so you were never potty trained then??"
