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?

I don’t know anyone who announces it thank goodness. And no one says wee-wee past the age of 3 or 4. I think hearing an adult saying it regularly would give me the ick.

Announce my need to pee with a song. I didn't notice I did it so much until DH started harmonising with me.

But only at home.

It would give me the ick!

I announce.

Doh.

❤️❤️

Yes, it would be a deal breaker for me, both the announcing and the use of 'wee wee'.

Deal breaker here as well!

The only time I might ‘announce’ is if we’re getting ready to leave the house or something and I realise I need to go before we do - in which case I’ll say something like ‘I’m just going to use the bathroom before we leave.’ I am English but am married to an American and as much as I try and not use American style words and phrases (makes me embarrassed when people do!) some sneak in - but this I don’t mind. Bathroom/restroom is much politer imo.

When did people start using "The ick" again?

Just for context, we were watching a tv prog. So it was pause the tv, stand up, announce I’m going for a wee-wee. Not just a random shout across two rooms to let him know.

The mocking was for the wee-wee phrase which I hate myself a bit for but is what we say to the dogs. So not entirely random. It did lead on to a conversation about generally announcing it. I narrate everything. Worse as I’ve got older.

I’ve literally just yawned and said yawn. FML.

I say that I need to urinate

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

It probably sounds a lot better in my head than it does to anyone near me. Thankfully only my family hear it.

I say "phone" as well, I haven't thought about how much I do that before now. I also announce car alarms and smoke alarms (oh someone's dinner is ready!) like people can't hear them themselves.

My poor DH puts up with a lot more than I ever thought.

My family all say wee wee (as in parents and siblings) 🤣 I think it's from when we were kids and now we've never grown out of it. Or maybe "spend a penny".

I always announce going for a wee! Is it not weird to just stand up and walk out of a room???? 😂😂

How old are you? 3 ? I don’t announce at home, just go!

I also do ‘door’.

But I win here. Because DH goes… who is that? when the doorbell goes. At least I’m just announcing it. I’m not asking him to be Mystic Meg about it like he does me

I've never heard it outside of MN, I don't really get it.

He should get a Ring doorbell, then he won't need to ask.

I announce when I'm going for a wee! Both at home and at work (though I do work in a nursery so kind of necessary to let others know where I've gone and that the door isn't locked!)

I have also been known to say wee wee 🤣

Oh for God sake, who the hell needs to know that?

If we were sat together yeah I'd say I'm just going for a wee. Would be weirder to just get up and leave suddenly in silence 😂
If we are all just puttering around doing jobs etc I might not.
Odd though. I don't even need to tell my kids. They just find me instantly 😬

YANBU. I announce where I’m going and do say wee wee. I have a toddler though who must know where I am at all times

Oh no, smoke alarms have reminded me of my mum's 'Where's that ambulance/police car/fire engine going to?' or sometimes just 'hmmm ambulance... ' 🤷‍♀️ 😬

I am either going for a 'wax' or a 'pop' 🤣 never thought about it before but I do announce it haha
If DH gets up half way through a program or film I'll say 'hey where you going' and he will say either a shit or a piss.
So yes it's normal OP 😁

Waz, not wax*

Oh gawd 🤦🏼‍♀️ typo's

Poo, not pop

Reminds me of a former flatmate who would announce that she (yes, she) was "Gawn fur a slash".

Made me feel quite refined by comparison.
