or "I'm going for a wee" or "He's gone for a wee" etc.

Can't you just go to the loo without announcing it, or just refer to it as "the loo".

Adults "going for a wee" is childish and ever so common! So there!

"Little girls' room" is terrible!

Not so keen on pointing percy at the porcelain either.

I got into this habit with my kids because otherwise they follow me/shout at me/need their arse wiped.

Also during toilet training to normalise it.

I don't intend to do it in adult company Blush but it just keeps happening.

I always say I'm going for a wee, or going to the lav

I say it at home but not at work. Unprofessional. To say it, I mean, not to wee.

"Just off to empty my clog" is the best phrase I've heard for it.

Could you say you think it common a couple more times OP?

Just in case anyone doesn't get it, like Grin

I couldn't be friends with anyone who told me that they were "going for a wee". Far too common for me.

I remember once when I went to the bathroom (better OP?) and didn't say where I was going.

MIL decided I was obviously up so she told DH she thought I was crying and he came to look for me, with her and FIL following.

And there was no lock on the door so it was flung open while I was in mid flow (is flow okay?)

And then they wondered why I was annoyed.

She burst in on me and sprayed me with air freshener once as well.

I threatened to take a leaf out of Borat's book after that, and announce to the room that I was going for a shit (sorry OP) whenever she was in the house.

to say that one is going to the toilet (or even worse 'going toilet') is common, much more so than going for a wee

Jamie it is most unprofessional to micturate during working hours.

You don't get paid to piss!

And don't get me started on these scroungers urinating willy nilly all day on my tax dollars!

I shake my lettuce or lay a cable.

I say this in front of the team of 40 people I manage.

Me and DH say "I'm going for a wee" if we're off for a wee or "I'm going to do a bad toilet" if it's a poo. Childish and proud.
