to feel faintly nauseous when people wee like horses?

There seem to be two types of people in this world. Those who can wee quietly and discreetly and those who attempt to crack open the bottom of the pan and sound like they are pouring a kettle full of water into it.

AIBU to suggest that, although a natural process, urinating should be a private process??

i HATE using public loo's and the fact that people can hear me weeing!! most of the time i wait until someone else flushes/starts the hand dryer so my noise is drowned out!!

poopscoop · 04/06/2009 16:30

Public loos are vile. I want to know who all these people are that manage to shit all over the seat and floor. Great splats of it everywhere then mountains of soggy bog roll all over the floor. (which i blame on the hoverer who miss)

But really what are their home toilets like?

psychomum5 · 04/06/2009 16:34

erm.........how the hell do you know how a horse sounds when it is weeing. I have never stood near one to find that out.

odd

poopscoop · 04/06/2009 16:41

psycho - you forgot the bold and italics dontcha know

psychomum5 · 04/06/2009 16:45

lol

altho, bold and italics don;t really go with horse weeing and pan splashing do they

or maybe I could start it

poopscoop · 04/06/2009 16:47

start what - pan splashing and weeing like a horse?

In fact I think i could wee like a horse shortly. Just had 3 mugs tea on the trot. No pun intended!

PuppyMonkey · 04/06/2009 16:49

This must go down as the silliest AIBU thread ever.

If you get nauseus when someone is weeing in a public loo, I dread to think how you would have reacted to me and my upset tum when we had to have an urgent visit for a No2 while I was shopping earlier today.

I stayed in for ages afterwards until I could hear that the loo was empty, so no-one would see it was me. Don't know what I've eaten, but I'm not well.

Sorry tmi.

psychomum5 · 04/06/2009 16:50

pan splashing in a bold way.

is that like a horse then???

how the hell tho can you get a horse to wee in a toilet, to know how it sounds.

poopscoop · 04/06/2009 16:51

You can lead a horse to toilet but you cannot make him wee.

Puppy are you on the alli to have the shysters so badly?

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 04/06/2009 16:51

I neigh and whinny prior to having a wee in public loos- does that count?

mrsmaidamess · 04/06/2009 17:12

Oh I loathe weeing next to anyone (in a cublicle) or listening to them wee.

Our loos at work are hushed , echo-ey and it's like weeing in the bloody Sistene Chaple.. And folk that stop and start throughout the flow, obviously exercising their pelvics...and trying to maintain a polite stilted conversation punctuated by these pauses in the gush...

McSnail · 04/06/2009 17:16

Personally I find it worse when people try to piss quietly - obviously they're embarassed by the noise.

Give me a good, honest, loud and proud pissing noise over a furtive, oh-my-god-all-bodily-functions-are-something-to-be-ashamed-of trickle on the side of the pan any day of the week.

We can still HEAR the furtive trickle you know.

mrsmaidamess · 04/06/2009 17:18

You'd never hear my furtive trickle. I'm a master at it.

McSnail · 04/06/2009 17:21

I can hear a furtive trickle from four cubicles along. I listen out for it....

mrsmaidamess · 04/06/2009 17:21

I'll have to clench harder.

londonone · 04/06/2009 17:26

I HATE women who hover! WTF is that about, it's a toilet seat get over it. The only reason there is ever any wee etc on the seat is down to hoverers! It's impossible to piss on the seat if your sitting on it. What the hell is wrong with you do you think yopur going to catch something?

gagamama · 04/06/2009 17:30

Mrsmaidamess, surely you mean Cistern Chapel?

And whoever asked about how you 'aim' - it's all about seat positioning and whether you're leaning forwards or backwards.

mrsmaidamess · 04/06/2009 17:32

I once tried peeing straddling the loo and facing the other way as an experiment when I was about 6. Not a good idea...

LovelyTinOfSpam · 04/06/2009 17:38

I was in the bog at work the other day and someone came into the next cubicle and did the biggest female piss I have ever heard in my life. It sounded like someone pouring a bucket of water in and went on for ages.

I was utterly in awe of the strength of her bladder . Assume she hasn't had children yet...

Sometimes I can't go if I think someone can hear. Also I can't go if I need a trump as well in case one set of muscles relaxing causes the other ones to say ah-to-hell-with-it too.

I have issues, I won't deny it.

Dumbledoresgirl · 04/06/2009 17:41

Oh I am always rather proud of myself when I manage to do a loud wee. It generally means I have a lot of wee to expel which in turn generally means I have drunk lots, which, coming from someone who has never drunk enough, always was being prompted by my mother to drink more, and still find it hard to drink enough, is a Jolly Good Thing.

Quiet trickles aren't healthy you know.

BalloonSlayer · 04/06/2009 17:45

londonone: "hoverers . . . do you think yopur going to catch something?"

Well, YES. We know it's stupid, and that we won't. But we can't help ourselves. There.

dizietsma · 04/06/2009 17:47

I actually can't help it, I'm a very noisy pisser. I pee in the normal fashion, but no matter how I try it always sounds like a waterfall in spate. Dunno why, but I'm terribly sorry to have offended you OP, I'm sure your pee sounds like a delicate butterfly alighting a rose petal, and I can utterly understand your revulsion at the coarser peeers who you cruelly have to share pissing space with. Poor you
