Genuinely. I've nc for this 😳
I'm on my friends boat and the etiquette is to just have a wee, but I've been told the poo procedure and I....just.....can't

What is the procedure if you need a poo then? 🤔

I really cannot tell anyone alive that I need a poo. There are no toilets in the marina.

Narrow boat on a canal, or yacht in a harbour?

MoiraRosesBaybay · 30/09/2023 15:45

Who else is on the boat? Are you on a river, at sea, where?

IggityZiggity · 30/09/2023 15:46

What is the poo procedure? Are you staying overnight?

CountessKathleen · 30/09/2023 15:46

Are you on a trawler, yacht or rowing boat?

Catch it in loo roll and throw it overboard?

liveforsummer · 30/09/2023 15:47

Can you get off? Find a wooded spot and dig a hole 😬

Just do the poo procedure. It doesn't matter. We are all human beings.
I once got diarrhoea halfway up a mountain.
I don't give a fk any more about anything after that.

Cellotapedispenser · 30/09/2023 15:49

You're going to have to concoct some amazing reason to fall overboard, remove your lower clothing and poo in the water. Only problem is if it floats....

Cathpot · 30/09/2023 15:49

There must be loos at the marina?? That’s the point of the marina- a place to park and a place to have a comfortable poo. Basics.

plumtreebroke · 30/09/2023 15:52

Bucket, dark corner. If it's a marina, ask in a shop or boat yard, people who work there must have some facilities just plead desperation.

CurlewKate · 30/09/2023 15:52

I live on a boat. What is the "poo procedure"?

IHateLegDay · 30/09/2023 15:54

We must know the poo procedure!!

FrenchandSaunders · 30/09/2023 15:55

Spill the beans OP!

Munchyseeds2 · 30/09/2023 15:56

I can well imagine the procedure... I couldn't do it either
Hopefully you will lose the urge quickly!

driedupfig · 30/09/2023 15:59

I bloody hate people that can't be bothered to keep their boat loos in full working order. I've spent many a time wondering what to do when they say "we just wait", what kind of bowels do they have?! Just poo. It's their problem.

theduchessofspork · 30/09/2023 15:59

Just stay seated and firmly clamped. The urge will normally pass…

But when this is all over you have to come back and reveal the poo procedure

Mariposista · 30/09/2023 16:01

Sorry but if the boat has a toilet - poo on it. That is what’s toilets are for.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 30/09/2023 16:01

Assuming no bowel issues or illness just hold it and the need to go will usually go away, obviously avoid coffee/ alcohol or anything else that might increase the urge!

SillySausagez · 30/09/2023 16:01

Poo into a bag

RoseBucket · 30/09/2023 16:02

There must be loos at the marina if closed the boat owners sometimes have a key but also curious re the procedure 😬

cushioncovers · 30/09/2023 16:02

Is it a portable loo if so just poo in it.
