Walking dog this evening. Quite a rural area and weather awful. We had passed a few people but we were now on a lesser travelled path (justifying myself) though still a chance of meeting someone.

I was 'caught short' and I was bursting! This happens a lot but I was so uncomfortable and really couldn't wait. So I weed behind a tree Blush. I made my dog sit on the path to 'look out' and she was Hmm.

Aibu to have done this? I'm inclined to think meh when you got to go.....but am slightly concerned this may not be acceptable in modern society!

Would also be interested in hearing other wee stories. To make me feel better Grin

Disclaimer: have not weed outside since I was about five, so this was quite a big deal for me

Nothing wrong with that. When you gotta go you gotta go. I do it all the time on my walks with my dog.

Wild wees are the best, breeze on your bum! I wouldn't in a park or somewhere urban but happy to wee in the woods or rural areas if I need to. Was brought up in the countryside so have always weed outside. Enjoy the freedom!

Nothing wrong with that at all!
I was out for a ride on my pony with two friends on their horses. We were on our way back from the pub a lovely ride around the block, and I was busting for a pee... I was never going to make it back to the yard so had to hop off and go for a wee at the side of the road... A teeny bit obvious with two horses and their riders and one horse without a rider!! Whoops!
But when you gotta go, you gotta go Wink

Good lord YANBU!

What else were you going to do?

Don't you feel a pang of sympathy rather than distain at those who have to take a wild wee by the side of the motorway in a standstill.

Wee wild!
Pee proud!

As my grandson says, it's a nature wee so it is fine

Shallishanti · 06/05/2015 22:41

do you even need to ask?

I wee alfresco when camping, when I'm caught short out with the dogs, nothing wrong with it! Just be careful not to wee on your knickers.

MrsNextDoor · 06/05/2015 22:41

It's wee not bunny killing acid of course YANBU. When you gotta go you gotta go!

Dogs? In a wood?

Amateur stuff

Try being caught short on the wild and windswept moor with a skittish horse

I didn't realise how many people did this. I feel like I've joined a club. Regretting all those times I 'held on'

Just imagine if everyone did this, the woods would be awash with wee! YABU, please think of the trees, the sensibilities of passing wildlife and the infinite capability of some oddball to take offence!

Some people...

fiveacres · 06/05/2015 22:46

I always do this.

Top tip: do NOT wee at the top of a bank, only to be jumped on in delight by a massive black Labrador and pushed backwards down bank toward stream with knickers round thighs

Blush

DS was traumatised for weeks!

CuttedUpPear · 06/05/2015 22:50

woods awash with wee MY ARSE

Get a grip. An outside wee is a lovely thing. However it's not about to go viral. I can't quite see all da kidz getting into it, let alone all the straightlaced grannies.

Sallyingforth · 06/05/2015 22:53

Of COURSE it's all right! Perfectly natural, and great fun too.

Just watch out for nettles!

Littlefluffyclouds81 · 06/05/2015 22:54

Did you think the woodland animals have secret flushing toilets? Confused

News alert....this is Britain. It rains. On yer average British wet day, they'll be far more rain than your average person's wee.

Did you all miss the last bit of my post Grin

Poor Luis Grin

MrsRossPoldark · 06/05/2015 22:59

A GF and I both got caught short whilst out running in our local park. We took it in turns to go in the bushes - each keeping a lookout for the other! Great fun and lots of girly giggling but I'm sure we didn't give ourselves away - did we?!

I have tried doing a Paula but I just can't - when I have to go...

LuisSuarezTeeth · 06/05/2015 23:00

five Grin

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2015 23:03

Just make doubly sure there is nobody around.

My friend was caught short while out on a walk in the woods and nipped behind a tree for a wee - but failed to spot an old farmer leaning on a dry stone wall a few yards away, watching her intently. The farmer pervert didn't say a word, just stared. Friend is still mortified about it.

sherbetlemonD · 06/05/2015 23:03

I had this last year and was too embarassed Blush and had to walk 2 miles home bursting for a wee.

Selks · 06/05/2015 23:08

If Paula Ratcliffe can have a wee in the road in the middle of a marathon, I'm sure it's fine to wee behind a bush! Like someone said up thread, just watch out for the nettles..
