Random Public urination

toexpress · 11-07-2012 9:15pm #1

I live in a very quiet estate (these days since we got rid of the Jacobs relatives that were living next door) it is a small estate on the outskirts of a tiny little country village where nothing much happens. From my living room window you can see the road that leads in here and then there is road off that leading down to another estate, slightly bigger but not huge either. Most of neighbours have kids of a school going age who play around on the green in front of our houses. These kids range in age from maybe 5/6 to older kids 11/12.

This evening I was hear chatting with a friend on the phone and I witnessed a man late 20's early 30's lash his tackle out and urinate. Now he looked around to see was there anyone around about and clearly decided that no-one could see him. The 5/6 kids playing on the green clearly didn't count. He then duly headed off into the other estate. Now I was just thinking that he clearly headed to a house in that estate so surely he could have waited a few minutes to relieve himself? It seemed like the dirtiest scumbag of a thing to do. Or am I just being a bit precious about the whole thing?

I can literally never understand why people have a problem with this? Our cats and dogs do it all the time and we only have laws about cleaning up their sh!te, there's nothing about not letting them p!ss all over the place.

What makes human urine any worse than dog or cat urine? I'm no biologist but I highly imagine it's very, very similar.

Regardless, if the government / council want us not to piss in public then they should be providing public toilets. there isn't a single public toilet (that I know of) in Dublin City Centre. I heard a while back that they were going to install urinals on Camden Street (no help for girls though

) but I haven't heard anything about that since.

It's not the fact that he relieved himself in public (I think every man has done that) it's the fact that it was in full view of kids and as I say sitting on the couch I could see it happening, he was going into a house so surely he could have waited a minute or two?

Who's these 'Jacob's relatives' you speak off

The fig rolls?

Meh! The guy at least tried to make sure no one was looking and had a leak outdoors in a country where it sometimes rains. Be glad he didn't do it in your doorway.:)

Don't you have anything better to do there in the valley of the squinting windows? Or are you bored now that you have "gotten rid of" some neighbours who, presumably, impacted on your intolerance antenna in some other way?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

OK, I'll p*ss up against your house so. Every night. Only marking my territory, that's all.

Maybe he just doesn't like your estate?

Nope. Cat pee has a much stronger taste!

Was it in the middle of the road or footpath or something? I fecking hate that shit, I only seen someone do that once in Dublin on a quiet street, but there was passers by, including myself, felt like tripping him up face-down. Was wearing a full shell suit as well, and his mates who were waiting for him in their car looked equally as dodgy.

If you're in your car and you find yourself bursting as you are driving along I think it's perfectly acceptable to pull up and go behind a hedge.

I think the OP means he's happy he got rid of the jews from his small town.

Cats and dogs usually make some effort to hide it or conserve it. When used for marking, they only pee a little bit. When actually just draining themselves, they'll try to go on grass or dirt which masks it. This means that it's generally not running down the path.

They also have small bladders, up to 250ml in the case of a large dog. more like 100ml in the case of a medium-size dog. Cats are much smaller again.

Humans, by comparison will pee anywhere because we're not quite so concerned with marking territory or hiding our tracks. The lower end of the scale of bladder size would be half a litre, though you generally need to pee when you're carrying about 200ml - about twice the entire capacity of a dog's bladder.

In other words, when humans pee, we go anywhere and we leave a lot of liquid. If people were prone to just stopping any peeing where they felt like it, cities and towns would literally be awash with piss.

Is that a favourite past time in Laois then? :pac::pac:

People urinating in public legally would be ridiculous. If a child walked by and saw a man's penis, says she was flashed etc. OR flashers saying they were only having a wee.

Besides the difference between us and dogs or cats. Sure they can have sex in public, should we be allowed to too?

Yeah why not let grown adults get their genitals out in public, what harm can be done there?!

No you are not. Urinating in public is disgusting-especially in a housing estate.

Driving along to work one morning. 7.30am. Some fella chating to his mate through the front window of his house whilst taking a p!ss. Wondered why he couldn't have asked of he could use his toilet as well.

The Snipe · 12-07-2012 12:43pm

Bla... Wait.. nevermind...

Diapason · 12-07-2012 12:48pm

Was sitting in the window of Gotham Cafe having lunch, a drunk dude wandered over (outside) and started peeing against the glass. Odd to see things from that angle, I can tell you.
