Ughhhh I've just found out that my partner pees in the garden because he can't be bothered to go upstairs to the bathroom. It's most nights I think although he denied it then admitted it then denied it. .
I actually feel sick and hate the fact he lies about it too.
I hate lying and I hate the thought that he thinks this is ok 🤮

I suppose my male relations wee in hedgerows or on the muck heap.

There are miles between public toilets here (5 miles to our nearest cafe) so needs must.

Hen2018 · 26/09/2021 17:55

It was 15 mins walk to the toilet from the far end of our land.

Limejuiceandrum · 26/09/2021 17:57

Am I odd. I don’t have a problem with this. And also wee on compost - great

category12 · 26/09/2021 17:58

I think there's a bit of a difference between that and what OP is describing, don't you?

ShrikeAttack · 26/09/2021 17:59

I don't think peeing in the garden is the issue here.

We have a very large garden, with a terrace at the bottom, it's a bloody trek to the house and there's a very convenient bush that we've all peed behind on occasion. The grass there is particularly lush.

Peeing against structures or in passageways is unpleasant and suboptimal. It will smell and you are a filthy beast.

As to shitting, leaving nail-clippings and flicking the product of one's nose?

Unconscionable.

Slightly different to the average back garden, then.
minniemouseshouses · 26/09/2021 18:02

I honestly don’t think it’s gross, but definitely very lazy?!

BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand · 26/09/2021 18:02

Most people's gardens are not almost a mile long.

BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand · 26/09/2021 18:04

And like others, I'll happily wee behind a bush on a long walk or run. That's an entirely different kettle of fish to going in the garden because you're too bone idle to come indoors and use the loo.

Oldtiredfedup · 26/09/2021 18:05

Yup…I’ve known many men do this….one used to do it in the way home from the pub and drew ‘hearts’ for me with it…..

In your garden?

I think lots of posters are confusing "garden" with "outdoors".

Weeing behind a bush in the countryside = normal.
Weeing in your (normal sized) garden = not normal.

Anothernick · 26/09/2021 18:14

Wow,100+ posts on men p*ssing in the garden in half a day!

Anyway, I'm a man and I certainly pee in the garden occasionally. I don't go out there to do it but if I'm gardening and need to go I usually nip into the shed and do it in a jug I keep for putting petrol in the mower. Then it goes into the compost bin. If it's quiet and the neighbours aren't about I might just go on the soil. Easier and quicker than walking up to the house. My DW has never mentioned it, we both pee in the shower all the time so I suppose it doesn't bother her.

Oldtiredfedup · 26/09/2021 18:15

@BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand

Ivd had one do it in the garden regularly.

As for pee-heart guy - it was a 10 minute walk from pub to home….

liveforsummer · 26/09/2021 18:15

Up against the house wall or new shed no less ...

Yes - I'd have thought that's got to be pretty indefensible even for the peeing freely crowd Hmm.
Hopefullysweatmightbewee · 26/09/2021 18:22

Boys are taught it’s ok to pop it out and have a wee in a wide variety of places from an early age. It’s no surprise that some haven’t grown out of it once they reach adulthood.

FanGirlX · 26/09/2021 18:27

My ex came home drunk one night and did a massive shit in the middle of the front lawn. He left his dirty underpants next to the massive pile of shit too. Walking out to that first thing was a delight.

ILoveShula · 26/09/2021 18:32

Female urine is good for compost too, @ElizabethinherGermanGarden

We all get caught short sometimes....

gailplattshairbrush · 26/09/2021 18:41

I had an ex who clearly didn't know how to wipe his arse properly and would leave little nuggets behind in the bath with all the soap scum. It was fucking rank. Thank god he's an ex.

GreyhoundG1rl · 26/09/2021 18:42

This thread! Where are you all digging these maggots up? 🤮

DarlingFell · 26/09/2021 18:45

No. Not all men are gross. My DH is super clean and hygienic. I couldn’t be with someone who picks their nose in front of me, just boak. I wouldn’t want their disgusting hands touching me Confused

mathanxiety · 26/09/2021 18:50

Those of you saying dogs, cats, foxes, squirrels, cows, horses, etc do it outside - are you seriously suggesting there's a comparison?

Because there's plenty of other habits they have, including sniffing each other's bums and licking their own to clean them off - would this be a reasonable habit to encourage too?

What about taking a dump in the garden? Animals do it after all.

OP - your DP belongs in a cave.

CallMeNutribullet · 26/09/2021 18:53

@dworky

Yes, many men do this & it's a power thing. Tradesmen will often piss in a kitchen sink when in a woman's home.
What bollocks. I have a family & friends full of brickies, plumbers, electricians etc. They're lovely, clean civilised people making good money and living in nice homes not fucking animals.
GertietheGherkin · 26/09/2021 18:55

@HummingBeeBox

My dp picks his nose and pulls nose hair out and flicks it in the living room. I've asked him not to. He doesn't see the issue. Not all men buy lots of men I know are gross
Dear God 🤮 That is absolutely disgusting. You've certainly hooked yourself a dirty bugger there.
