Mean pissing beside the road.

[iloveanearlynight]

• Men. It was MEN pissing...

Why has this become ubiquitous now? You rarely saw this in the past, and if you ever did, they tried to hide behind a tree or something. Now, they seem to pull up wherever the fuck they like and just piss a great arc of urine for everyone to see, driving past. It's absolutely disgusting.

Yes I have to admit, I have never seen shit in the street, not human shit anyway.

See, this is exactly what I'm getting at, but people are missing the point. Of course lots of people need to go outside and always have. I have pissed discreetly outside loads too. But as you said, you 'sneaked into a little clutch of trees...' That's been the norm and still is the norm.

My point is, it's become so utterly brazen and full frontal. Men aren't finding a tree or going up the bank out of sight. They're doing it in full view at the side of the road, arcs of piss fully visible. That didn't used to happen.

Very populated area of London.
You know its human because a) the size of it b) the smell of it, and c) the tissues surrounding it, also smeared with shit.

That’s the point, they were lining the side of the 10km route. I certainly wouldn’t have squatted down and had a wee in the open where they were, therefore I would have to hold it 🙄

I did the opposite journey a few weeks ago, north Norfolk to south Devon. I drove 130 miles before I found open loos. Two other "services " said they were out of order. Meaning we can't be arsed to clean them.

I would have happily squatted there if necessary.
Its a bodily function... are we still pretending we don't have those?
Nobody can actually see anything and if they do- so what?

Yes. I'm over 70 and I'm afraid men have been doing this all my lifetime.

Well we clearly have different views - you are happy with people pissing anywhere and everywhere (as long as no penis/vag sighting), I’m not.

I’ve had to do this; dire traffic and I so need to go and held it for far too long. I crept as close to the car as possible and had Kleenex!

It used to be normal in Belgium for laybys to be absolutely stinking of human urine. It's now so common over here (UK) our roadsides are contaminated. Awful dreadful behaviour as there are hardly any toilets now. It is also an offence to urinate in a public place.

The difference between men and women being "able" to do it is that if a woman does it some arsehole would likely film her for sexual gratification and put it all over the web. Men are obsessed with women losing control and wetting themselves (see that weirdo French guy last month putting diuretics into women's drinks for his "experiment P" perversion). So not only do women have more issues with not getting health services for urinary incontinence and vaginal issues (longest waiting list is gynae, unsurprisingly) but if we 'have to go' it is us who would be sexualised and and potentially abused by someone filming it, when we find men doing it repulsive. It isn't that women should be gung-ho about doing it in public or it's a failing if they don't, it is that once again MEN will turn it into porn.

They were lining the route of a 10km run so I'm assuming grass verges, not the front entrance of M+S.

Just another symptom of male entitlement.

It’s disgusting.

Just last weekend my husband and 3 year old waited for me outside a shopping centre while I nipped to the loo. It was 11am. When I came back my husband said a man just whipped it out, had a wee then sauntered off in plain view. Clearly pissing in front of people including children in the middle of the day was preferable to the 300m walk to the perfectly adequate toilets like I did.

Men were pissing on the street in London in the70s and 80s. Disgusting but not new.

What happened to the time-honoured custom of pissing into a plastic bottle and dumping said bottle in a layby?

Bloody hell, pp was right! It actually IS illegal to urinate in public in the UK!

Maybe councils could stretch to a few signs for areas where this is commonplace.

Women have to hold it

Pardon? 😮

No judgement here if that's what you are into, but most of the time men seem to manage on their own.

I hear my neighbour loudly pissing in the garden at night 🤮🤮🤮

That's grim love

I drove into a service station recently and two men were just pissing in the carpark, they were literally a 2 minute walk from the toilet ffs!

I suppose it is better than the plastic bottle of brown liquid chucked at the side of the road, and if youve got to go youve got to go but at least try to make it to a toilet

What do you mean you couldn't go off the route or you would have got lost? Do you not have a phone? A satnav? A map? Some printed directions that you were following?

We do similar journeys a couple of times a year and we plan in advance to stop at supermarkets or cafes or McDonald's a few minutes off the route.

You could have predicted that you'd need to have a wee at some point in that long a journey and planned where to do that, surely, rather than waiting til you were desperate and then having to squat in a layby?

We were camping this summer in a really lovely very remote campsite we’ve been going to for years. We were having breakfast and a guy renting a glamping pod came out of his tent in trackie bottoms, pulled them half down and took a steaming piss into the hedge, right in front of our tent…the shower block was metres away. I told him to put it away or I’d bash it with a spoon…he apologised, said he didn’t think anyone saw him and said he forgot about the shower block. Beggars belief really.

What about the ones that piss in a water bottle then leave on the side of the road. Disgusting scumbags. My dad used to leave near the airport. I’ve seen private taxis parked in his road doing that. Even worse running into his driveway and pissing up the wall😡
