To go for a wee-wee?

[TimeAtTheBar]

DH has just mocked me mercilessly for this. We are at home. I said I’m going for a wee-wee. He says I always say this even in company. I beg to differ as sometimes I say tinkle or Jack Dash or Jimmy Riddle or off for a piss.

I am an announcer though. I’ve caught myself lately sneezing and then saying ‘sneeze’ instead of ah choo or excuse me. Also yawn.

It’s not just me though, right? Normal to excuse yourself in this fashion. Yeah ok, wee-wee might be the nadir but it’s a perfectly normal thing to say?

Am awa fir a pish.

If this isn’t a joke (thank you for the giggle), YABU for announcing every toilet visit. But YANBU for being funny 😁

On a related note, I was mildly surprised when I was looking at the symptoms for something on the NHS website and it talked about 'peeing more than usual' or something. I would have thought they'd use 'wee' at the very least, if not urinating. Something just seemed odd about the use of 'pee'

Wee wee 🤣🤣 I’d take the piss out of you too OP

Exactly. Plus if DH is disappearing I want to know where as there might be something that needs doing on the way depending on where he's going, if he's going to do something that takes a while I might need to do something first while he minds the baby etc.

I would find it so odd to live with someone who didn't say what they were up to and just disappeared!

Yeah I’m in agreement that wee-wee was beyond twee. But announcing in general is normal I think?

If I feel like announcing it to dh, I'm 'off for a slash'.

In company it's 'the bathroom'.

Do you announce it when going at work? Or in friends houses?

I can't imagine living with people who announce their bodily functions. Never in my life, with partners, roommates, families, has this been a thing.

If someone "disappeared" from the living area I'd assume they had good reason and cope.

OP, I utterly get your humour. I’ve just had a right old laugh at this post. I always announce btw, and sometimes I say wee-wee. I’ve also at times said I’m going for a plop-plop. I needed that laugh, thank you!

Urgh I've got the ice

Ick

A plop-plop

I'm embarrassed for you

I am not an 'announcer' and nobody I live with is either, and for that I am very grateful.

'Wee wee' is definitely for preschoolers only.

I'm an announcer but my colleague hates it. It seems rude to me to just walk off or disappear without explaining, especially as it is just us two. She's a real chatter too so I have to excuse myself verbally. We've agreed I'll say "I'm popping upstairs now" so it's less detailed!

I say it to my 3 year old occasionally. Never about myself. It's a bit childish.

I’m guessing on a Venn diagram representative of our respective humour @softpilllow, you and I would have zero intersections!

Fucking 'sneeze' 🤣 do you also say 'phone' when it rings? I'm trying to get my 4yo to stop bellowing directly into my ear when he hears the phone, now I've read this I'm not sure I dare hope!

I'm a bit of an announcer too but for some inexplicable reason I say "I'm off to 't loo" in a really bad Yorkshire accent. I'm Scottish. (Sorry to everyone from Yorkshire as I doubt you sound anything like how I say it.)

Even more annoyingly when I'm in company I say "I'm just popping (sometimes nipping) to the loo" in a quite apologetic way. Many MNers would hate being with me but I say it without even thinking.

I do also announce at work.

😳

May need to rethink my entire life.

Stay as you are @TimeAtTheBar 😉

Fucksticks. I do say phone.

I really want to hear a scottyorkhirean (sp?) accent now.

That’s what I do! I ‘nip’ to the loo with an announcement of such.

It would seem so rude to just disappear.

Ha! 😅❤️
