to think it is mighty strange for a grown woman to have a piss in the middle in the middle of a playground?

The title says it all really. This afternoon I was out with dd and this woman of about 30 just pulled down her trousers and had a piss in the middle of the playground.

There was lots of shouting and gesticulating at her but she didn't seem to care.

The police were called and she was given a fixed penalty notice and a caution.

She was stone cold sober.

ick. was she homeless? not judging or generalising but the only people i have ever seen having very public pees ect have been homeless

unless you count me in the currant bushes at my allotment

MrsForHowLong · 08/04/2010 18:15

Perhaps she has mental health issues.

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 08/04/2010 18:15

Was it you?
Pretty strange.

unfitmother · 08/04/2010 18:16

How odd!

cocolepew · 08/04/2010 18:17

You gotta go, you gotta go.

lolapoppins · 08/04/2010 18:17

Makes smoking in a playground look pretty tame.

brogan2 · 08/04/2010 18:17

Why start this thread? So people can join in and express disgust? Clearly she is either homeless and ill or has mental health issues. Either way just be grateful it wasn't you.

juicy12 · 08/04/2010 18:20

Of course it's mighty strange and totally inappropriate behaviour. I'd be willing to put money on her having mental health issues, which makes it also mighty sad.

pigletmania · 08/04/2010 18:24

Why should she be homeless or have mental health illness to go for a public pee,she might do or might not! Men do it all the time and they dont get labled as such, I totally disagree with it myself, i was walking along a public path and a man was standing there on the path in full view going for a pee, he looked neither drunk or homeless just lazy to find somewhere private. Mabey this woman is just a dirty mare who is too lazy to find anywhere else.

DP has seen a woman poo in his street. She kept chatting to her friend as she was doing it

lolapoppins · 08/04/2010 18:28

Bur in doubt a bloke would whip it out in the middle of a playground as the OP described.

BitOfFun · 08/04/2010 18:28

ROFL @ "Was it you?"

juicy12 · 08/04/2010 18:30

But, IMVHO, while a bloke going for a pee by a bush is gross, you don't really "see" anything. Whereas, I, for one, wouldn't be able to pee outside without getting my pants and trousers wet unless I pulled right down! Rightly or wrongly, I think it's more of an issue if a laydee does it.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 08/04/2010 18:31

Perhaps she's pregnant and couldn't wait? Although she could've gone behind a bush. Or in the corner.

And if the alternative is peeing in her pants..?

poppy34 · 08/04/2010 18:34

Agree it's more sad than anything for reasons others state.

And re men doing it- I know of at least two who have also been fined and although logistically easier , I am not sure I find it any better.

SuSylvester · 08/04/2010 18:34

oh HF i ocne got a slaughtering for saying that someone had pissed themselves in front of me

i was killed alive
kinda
but it is disocnerting when it happens non

cuddlysoutheastastra · 08/04/2010 18:36

a woman did that in front of me at a rolling stones concert. i don't think she wanted to risk missing the beginning.

the pitch was covered with a waterproof covering and so it sort of tricked right down onto people behind her

SuSylvester · 08/04/2010 18:38

lol.
Yes
teh strangest thing in mine was saying to the shop person
" ahem i thik that lady might have weeed herself" or whatever

ellesapelle · 08/04/2010 18:39

Very odd. Sounds like she might have some mental health issues.

There's a public pathway not far from my house and I've seen four men peeing in the exact same spot. Mostly respectable looking men in suits. And this is just across the road from a large supermarket which everyone would know has a toilet in it .

CantSupinate · 08/04/2010 18:44

Probably scent marking, ellesapelle, it's the hormones that makes them do it.

lolapoppins · 08/04/2010 18:44

Oh, I've seen it at festivals. Usually drunk teenage girls pissing in the middle of a crowd, but yes, a million times worse when the ground is covered in plastic matting and it flows everywhere ( as if it's not manky enough).

My friend met a girl a a take that concert years ago who said she always managed to stay at the front of the gigs for hours by nicking her nans incontinence pads to wear.

GeekOfTheWeek · 08/04/2010 18:45

She might not have mental health problems at all.

I know a grown woman that will piss anywhere. No mental health issues she just doesn't care. I know that the same woman had a shit in a stable despite there being a toilet 2 on the yard.

EccentricaGallumbits · 08/04/2010 18:47

perhaps it's a culture thing?

SuSylvester · 08/04/2010 18:48

LOLOL at EG

TOP TRUMPS!!!

rhondajean · 08/04/2010 18:49

PMSL (no pun intended) at the Take That fan with the incontinence pads....
