Just a little something to share

I did that Galen, on a cliff top between Totland Bay and Alum Bay in the IOW, many years ago. Nettle stings are not to be taken lightly, especially on yer bum!

The young lady (for lack of a better name) behaved disgustingly, to say the least. I am sure we have all had urgent calls of nature, but that is unnecessary. I will always remember the time we arrived in the UK on a visit, had to walk with our suitcase out to the car hire (it was chucking it down and there wasn't a cab in sight, the bus was nowhere to be seen either so we decided to walk - it couldn't be far...) and my young daughter of eight at the time started to complain she needed a toilet, of course, this set me to thinking along these lines...after staggering along for some time, we came to a weeping willow sort of tree on the side of the road, plunked our suitcases beside my long-suffering husband, and ducked in unison under the tree! He looked quite ridiculous in the pouring rain, with three suitcases and nobody else in sight!

I had a similar experience Galen - thought I'd climb over 2' wall to afford me some privacy when caught short on a drive home late one evening. The wall was 2' on my side but there was a 6' drop on the other side right into a patch of stinging nettles. Being only 5' tall I couldn't get back up until DH came to see why I was taking so long. He had to pull me rather inelegantly up the wall as he laughed hysterically. I didn't find it as funny!!

I do watch out for nettles Galen and creepy crawlies but these days, I'm often nipping behind a tree when out on a long walk. Worst is Sunday mornings because I've had a cup of tea and two coffee's before taking the dogs out. I always find a hidden spot but the two dogs standing nearby, wagging their tails may be a bit of a giveaway. Not like a public pee with a motorway service station toilet within couple of minutes run though

When I used to go what I laughingly call "running", I always needed a wee at the most awkward point, despite always having "gone" just before I set off. My running companion and I were similarly afflicted, and decided it was some sort of flaw in the female anatomy. Thank goodness for big tree trunks to hide behind, even if they are sometimes not quite as big as you think.

Well, watch out for nettles

I frequently do that, as we go on long walks miles from the nearest lav or person.

It's the fact that there were toilets nearby and other people around

I'm not saying I haven't sneaked behind a bush in the middle of nowhere.

Well, how uncouth! I have had to have emergency wees in my time, but have always found some form of cover. She obviously didn't mind an audience!

it would have served her right if she had stumbled and fallen in the puddle

If she was of really mature years she wouldn't have been able to squat and go! I think I'd have a problem unless I had something to hold onto to get back up!

Yes, I think it is gross!

Would you have preferred her to not quite make it to the loo and sit in urine-soaked knickers & skirt for the rest of her journey?
I really would not worry at all about that - her car, her clothes, her urine; instead she shared it with other people.

Well if she was of mature years I could have been generous and assumed she had a dodgy bladder, but this woman was late 20s early 30s and was only 2 mins away from the loo, she could have also parked nearer.

The thing is anyone could well have parked there and paddled in the wee

I don't care if she was desperate, I'm harsh! Gross behaviour imo.

Tell me about it. I was very cross with dh when all he did was roar with laughter at my woeful tale?

I can only assume that the woman was desperate and needed to go, there and then.

Would you have preferred her to not quite make it to the loo and sit in urine-soaked knickers & skirt for the rest of her journey?

nettle stings go on and on and on!!!!!

Remember one occasion my car died on the M5,
I was desperate so, while waiting for the AA, I scrambled down the bank, dropped my underwear, swatted down,-------


Right onto a patch of stinging nettles!

It was dark at the time

Certainly does if you're on diuretic tablets whitewave!

The worse time is to be stuck on a motorway in a major jam, that gets very dicey!!

I simply don't understand her though. The lavatory would only be 2 minutes away, and there is never a queue as it is so large and modern - only built about 8 years ago.

It's the embarrassment that would get me I would rather wet myself I think.

We often see guys in the layby on the dual carriage way near us. One last Friday lunch time in fact and he wasn't even trying to be discreet.
The woman ww saw though takes some beating

lazy moo. The clue's in the name madam 'services'

A man stopped his car across the road from our house last week. Hopped out and had wee in the hedge. Did himself up, and off he drove. He had passengers in the car too! I should add we don't live in middle of countryside, but in an urban area! Perhaps we are becoming more French, rather late in the day as we are on our way out of EU!
