Speaking of the pooping runner, how often do you pee/poop outside?

one time while camping when all the kids were under 7, DH and our family of 6 went into the town for an excursion into civilization and peed in the bushes with our backs against the wall of a bank Waterville, Maine.

I pooed outside one time as a teenager because I could. It was fun. Never did it again. You could say I got it out of my system.

During that huge snowstorm right before Christmas in 2009 (?), I was stuck on the interstate driving between DC and Richmond. After about 5 hours of going 5-20 mph and at 10 pm, my mom was calling hotels to find me a place to stop. She finally found a place with a vacancy, but it was close to Richmond, and there was no way I could get off the interstate to find a restroom and then get to my hotel through all that snow. I eventually had to pull off onto the shoulder and hide behind the front bumper of my car to poo. I'm still mortified thinking about it, but that was pure desperation.

And to the PP above who peed at someone's English basement-- that is beyond disgusting. That was someone's front door!

I'm so embarrassed by this, but I was visiting DHs family and decided to go for a run around the neighborhood and ended up really having to poop. It was a nice suburban area, could not find a coffee shop or store for the life of me and just knew I wasn't going to make it back to their house. Luckily it was the holidays and a lot of people were out of town. Found what I hope was an unoccupied house and went outside their bushes in as private an area as I could find. Still pray to this day that there were no cameras.

Only when I did my Outward Bound when I was a teen. I never need to do it again.

Around two weeks ago I saw a homeless woman pee at Wisconsin and Q right in front of a mailbox. She just dropped trou and did it. Very disturbing. It was around 7 p.m.

You went down into someone's doorway and peed on their home? Bizarre. I have been drunk and peed in bushes and alleys before, but I have never gone into someone's entryway and pissed all over it. At least the homeless woman peed on public property that could be rained on/hosed down easily.

All of you people lead such delicate, sheltered, indoor lives.

I hike, camp, kayak, bike or fish at least 30-35 weekends a year. I poop outside at least 50 times a year. At least.

It's as natural as can be. You dig a hole with your trowel (or heel, if you don't have a trowel) do your business, then bury it and the biodegradable-paper you packed with you in the hole, and cover it up.

Squatting in the woods is how humans evolved to poop. It's normal.

I pee outside quite frequently, probably a couple of times a month. It's when I'm out walking my dogs in the woods and there is no one else around. I've pooped in the woods once, I went for a walk and had a diarrhea like moment. LuckI'll I was by myself.

More often than I'd like. My kids' soccer games always seem to take place at parks with no bathrooms. Even though I go right before we leave, my bladder is the size of a pea and I have found myself trekking in the woods to pee. Sometimes it is no fun being a woman.

I suspect if we break it down by sex, peeing out side is much more common for guys.

In my case, (guy), the last time was this morning....I let out the dog, and suddenly had to bee. No one could see me...so I peed in my back yard.

I’m the runner from page 1 and I forgot to add, golf tournaments. Now I don’t play pretentious country club golf but I do play some charity tournaments that are more fun, people drink, etc. Golf courses are definitely not geared toward women because there’s a bathroom like twice on the entire course. I’ve had to pee in the woods during golf tournaments countless times. Never pooped, though.

If the course only has two bathrooms thats odd! However, I agree with you and have peed outside while golfing hiking camping or running.

I am in my 40s so I remember the long lines of clubs and bars from my 20s. However, they still have not fixed this! It's ridiculous. The theater always has super long ladies' room lines at intermission, and even upscale venues (a far cry from places in my 20s for sure) do not have enough restrooms. I almost wanted to drop trou on the way home from a place last time we went out because of ladies' rest room lines. Come on people. It's 2017.

Pretty frequently when I'm hiking or running. The last time I peed outside was when I was in Rock Creek Park a few months ago. I've also peed in a bunch of alleys in DC if it was late at night and I was still more than few blocks from my destination. Ya gotta go when ya gotta go.

I don't camp much anymore, so it's been a loooooong time since I pooped outdoors. I distinctly remember pooping in the woods 7 or 8 years ago at an illegal campout/music festival in the Pine Barrens of NJ.
