Public peeing in the age of Covid.

[CON2H4 650]

According to this Glamour article, more women are peeing outside because of the Coronavirus.

I saw the article, I think last week.  I’m hugely in favour of any mainstream journalism like this.

Even if it doesn’t inspire anyone to go out with the sole intention of peeing outdoors, it perhaps just reinforces the message that it’s not taboo, people do it, there is a valid alternative to the risk and discomfort of trying to hold a desperately full bladder.

Just like political lies, when you hear the same message being communicated enough times it’ll settle somewhere in the subconscious and can become the norm - I hope.

I pee outside quite often, sometimes more for pleasure than for desperation, but previously only ever where I absolutely knew I wouldn't be seen or disturbed. Since Covid I've peed behind toilet buildings in parks and other places where I've even encountered other women (who were remarkably accepting) or seen evidence women have been there to pee. Before Covid it likely wouldn't have been an accepting response if another lady came across you mid-stream, weeing on the ground. Now I've been acknowledged and the other lady will carry on to do her business.

Covid hasn't stopped me from pissing outside lol, iam still doing it and maybe even more so because alot of washrooms are closed to the public. For instance the grain terminal that iam hauling to doesn't have a public washroon anymore so I happily piss in their parking lot lol

I think a lot more people are peeing outside, as some local authorities have used the Corona virus as an excuse to close public toilets in so many places; and I suspect many will never reopen as cash strapped councils look to save money in future.

I have peed outside many times these past 6 months. It's addicting!

Good to hear that not having woods at the end of your backyard isn’t holding you back. Hopefully you’ve been able to mark some walls and concrete as well as nourishing the plants...

Totally understand the fear of getting caught.   However, providing you've been sensible then there's a very strong argument to say 'I had no other choice, apart from have an accident there was nothing I could do'.

By being sensible I mean finding somewhere discrete like in some trees in the park or behind some refuse bins in an alleyway, behind cars in a car park rather than in an open space where anyone could easily see.  Also somewhere where the need to pee is plausible - like a big park with locked toilets or an area without any public facilities.  Finally if you're close to home then I agree there is the risk of being caught by someone who knows you, but away from your own area even if someone saw you, you would just be a random person having a pee.

And somehow ending up filming it. I mean, I was trying to scroll through Facebook but somehow ended up filming myself peeing? Could happen to anyone...

Actually I am seeing more and more ladies peeing next to their cars in parking lots as they get out after their shopping and its far more frequent and casual than ever before.

Yep.  That has happened here.  In our borough, the council closed all the toilets in the parks.  However in August they re-opened the toilets in the biggest park, but in the two smaller parks, the toilets remain closed with signs on them saying closed until further notice due to coronavirus.   Well, if they are able to open the toilets in the larger, busier parks, then surely they can open the toilets in the smaller parks, but they have deliberately decided to leave them closed and of course they can now say "well there haven't been any problems with them being closed, they are obviously not required".   The fact that one of them particularly has lots of evidence of people peeing in the entrances and also when it was warmer there were often tissues in the bushes won't change anything.  Personally I don't mind - the more that are closed, the more chance of seeing someone peeing outside.  I haven't spent a lot of time hanging around there, but so far I've only caught one girl peeing in the bushes there.   I'm sure that there have been many more, I just haven't been there are the right time.

I really wouldn't worry too much about being caught.  If there are no toilets then it makes the perfect excuse.  Just make it look like you've made reasonable precautions to be discrete and you are not damaging anything.  In the UK, it is not actually illegal to pee outside - unless the local area has byelaws prohibiting it.  So I don't worry too much.  The only concern really is that it is possible to be charged with a public order offence or "outraging public decency".   For the latter, it would have to be a case of proving that the person peeing was doing so with the intention of causing offence to someone who witnessed it.   In reality, someone peeing behind a building or in a bush can't really be seen as aiming to cause offence as they have taken steps to be discrete.
