Close the door?

Right, this is a post about social acceptability and childhood conditioning.

Whilst in the house alone the other day, I needed a wee (pee, wizz, slash, number 1). I toddled off to the toilet (bathroom, WC, can) and - out of habit it seems - closed the door and locked it. Why? There was no-one around the place! I did the deed and then puzzled further over the same issue. Consider...I go out to the pub quite a bit and I happily visit the urinals and wee all over the place (depending on levels of inebriation) with not a care in the world, yet in the house, even when empty, I find myself bolting the door and indulging in privacy!

Further to this point, I wondered why weeing in the streets is against the law...what if you\'re going to pee yourself? Is it better to have a wee in the bush or pee your pants and lose all dignity! It speaks of the breaking up of society if we\'re told it\'s indecent to wee in the street only to find that there are no public facilites anywhere!

Anyhow, made me think. I\'m going to the toilet now.

And just another slightly on/off topic question....does anyone remember the old mini of a goblin having a wee? It was a Citadel mini and was very well-painted :)

\".. consciousness because it is nothingness, makes us aware of the possibility of choosing what we will be. This is the condition of human freedom. To perform an action a person must be able to stand back from participation in the world of existing things and so contemplate what does not exist. The choice of action is also a choice of oneself. In choosing oneself one does not choose to exist: existence is given and one has to exist in order to choose.\"

... erm... I hope that answers your question (ahem)

That was a Sartre quote btw :D

Lawks! Sartra on a Thursday morning!!

I, on the other hand, have had to get used to doing a NUMBER 2/crap/dump/\'drop the kids off at the pool\' with the door shut. To complete the story I used to live in a cottage away from everyone & the Loo/Bog/Khazie/John/Can had a great view out over the fields/woods/glades and i often saw Hares (not hairs, well, I did see some of them), foxes & deer from the bog!

Now I am in the \'burbs\' its hard to give up that toilet freedom:(

But I get what you\'re getting at Rev! I think its the \'habitual\' nature of communal living. You get used to acting one way (ie, lock the loo door) when there are people in the house, you have to make an effort to break that conditioning (leave the door open and Wee like primieval man ;) ).

I dunno, you could just be weird???

I\'d try practicing this in someone else\'s kitchen first... then when you get the hang of it... whatever IT is, then progress to your own.

Close, open, I find it depends upon who else is in the house and how much they shout at you if you leave the door open...

I beleive its still legal to piss in the streets in certain states of the US, and probably other parts of the world, personnally the \"sneak down the alley after the pub\" has happened a number of times.

Library....

Hmmm.... not sure if this is a thread where women should contribute, but I\'m going to anyway :p

I never shut the door at home - only me there most of the time - so the cats wander in and out and sometimes sit with me for the \'duration\' of my stay.

I like the bathroom - it\'s my library. I have a magazine basket beside the loo with the latest copy of Fanatic, a Rackham catalog, several White Dwarfs and other miscellany. It is a room for quiet contemplation with a cup of tea and a good read :D

However, I have also fallen into the same trap (so to speak). I close the door when Peter is there - perhaps we have yet to reach that stage in our relationship where it\'s acceptable to leave the door open? I mean, I\'m not adverse to having a chat with someone whilst they are in the \'reading room\' - it\'s quite easy to perch at the top of the stairs with the bathroom door slightly ajar so you can have a chat! The cats naturally assume they have the god given right to be in there anyway and if I do close the door, I find them scattered on the hallway floor waiting for me to come back out.

However, not sure if I\'d appreciate Peter coming in for a wee whilst I was in the bath.... assuming he\'d be aiming for the toilet of course!

Ho hum.... life\'s little mysteries :D

Either one I think the sink is a place to wash your hands or the dishes...wouldn\'t be too happy if my boyfriend started pissing in it:mad:.

Other places to piss: I have heard lots of stories from my male friends how when they have been severely drunk have pissed in places like the closet, the record collection (lp\'s) and other inapproriate places while sleeping...lol

Well, I grew up as one in a family of 6 with a one-bathroom home, so you go where you can some times.
Dad used to stand on the back porch at night and pee into the yard.

I in college walking home one night when I witnessed someone being arrested for \"public urination.\"

I find myself laughing my arse off at this thread and although I could add to it constructively having a family of five in one house I think I\'ll save any amount of dignity I might have had and just walk away from the keyboard right now.

lol

Depends - in the Ablution Unit, the urinals are out in the open - at the worksite, its a porta-john, and the doors on a spring - if despirate, the entire desert is a litter box to one way of thinking.lol
