Long story short: Was at a BBQ last night where a drunk (male) member of the party disappeared for a short while. When he came back he told us he had peed in the garden. AIBU to find this strange?

This isn't that strange imho.

Some Men take the laxy option when drunk sometimes.

Discussing it, is a tad odd though.

Well I think it was rather rude of him to do this at someone else's house, he should have asked to use the bathroom. If DH did this I would be furious with him.

However, I don't think it is especially weird for men to have an al fresco pee.

JosephineCD · 24/06/2012 20:10

Not strange at all tbh.

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2012 20:10

Yes, why did you need to know? He could have done worse I suppose.

bogeyface · 24/06/2012 20:10

Disgusting? Yes

Unnecessary? Yes

Weird announcing it? Yes

Strange? Sadly, no Hmm some people are just disgusting. My ex best friend pissed in her garden once because she was pissed and couldnt be arsed to walk upstaris Hmm

Am I the only one who read that as B and Q and thought yuk? Makes garden at home seem okish

JosephineCD · 24/06/2012 20:11

I guess it is a bit strange to do it at someone else's house without being invited to. On the scale of stupid things done while drunk it ranks fairly low though.

wheresthepopcorn · 24/06/2012 20:11

I didn't ask - he announced it. Just thought it was a nice garden and perhaps would kill the plants? (Gardening comments welcome)

I'm a little disappointed he didn't slap a friend's son. Grin

I have an idea it will stop foxes coming into your garden. So every cloud, etc.

TalcAndTurnips · 24/06/2012 20:13

Depends whether it was in the sandpit or the Wendy House.

There was a 'Strange Things You Do' thread the other day - where an honest poster admitted to enjoying a bit of garden pissery.

Wonder if I should give it a try at next BBQ? Maybe I am am missing out on something

I think you are frequenting the wrong type of BBQ. Grin

AmazingBouncingFerret · 24/06/2012 20:15

Maybe the owner of the garden is having a problem with cats crapping in it? Grin

JumpingThroughHoops · 24/06/2012 20:16

Queue for the bathroom and nature wouldnt wait?

need to announce it? absolutely.

susiedaisy · 24/06/2012 20:17

Sounds like my Ds's when they can't be bothered to run upstairs, huge generalisation I know but loads of drunk men pee anywhere once they've left the pub or become very inebriated, so although the BBQ guest was crass his behaviour wasn't that rare IMO but then I was married to a drinker for years who had loads of drinking buddies so not alot suprises me when it comes to drunken idiots!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 24/06/2012 20:17

You missed the text telling everyone it was a "rid the garden of pesky moggies: bring a full bladder" party.

Infact there's probably a forum somewhere with an equivalent aibu moaning about you not "watering" the garden so to speak...

Sidge · 24/06/2012 20:18

At least he didn't piss on the BBQ.

That's not a marinade I'd like on my sossies.

wheresthepopcorn · 24/06/2012 20:23

So is it just men who do this then? (anyone dare 'fess up?) :)

I'm not averse to a bit of micturation en plein air when out for a country ramble (usually out of necessity, however). I do wish sometimes that we, as women, were better equipped for it; I don't like the look of a She-Wee.

I remember having an 'ease springs' behind a large tree once - right in the middle of the process, a jogger came thundering through the undergrowth and called a merry Hello.

I slid down to make it look as if I was just having a sit-down.

I remember been younger and pissed. I needed to pee so went into the woods we were walking past.

I pissed and then realised I had sat on nettles! I nettled my Fanjo!

Haven't pissed outdoors since!

Moral of the story: have nettles and no one will piss there

Hassled · 24/06/2012 20:41

I remember sitting on the grass in someone's garden just about to take a bite of my burger when a small boy (but not that small - not so small as to think "he knows not what he does") came and pissed into the border behind me. The urine made a spectacular arc right next to my head. That wasn't nice. The only way it could have been worse would have been if the arc of urine had actually gone over my head.

squeakytoy · 24/06/2012 20:42

Cant see a problem with so long as he wasnt exposing himself while doing it.

DoMeDon · 24/06/2012 20:54

Standard drunken behavior IMHO. I was aghast to find DH p-ing out the doors into the garden when we had friends round a while ago - he thought it was hilarious Hmm
