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

[Anonymous]

I run on a trail. I know a few spots where I can hop off the trail to pee if needed. No one would’ve the wiser.

The guy I was seeing was very outdoorsy and took me camping. His definition of camping was very different from the camping I'd done with my family growing up. Growing up, we'd go to a camp ground that had port-a-potties throughout the tent sites and then a handful of showers and real bathrooms that you could walk to.

The guy took me to this little gravel lot where we parked and then hiked up a trail for, like, 2 or 3 miles before setting up camp. We had to hang our food in a tree and dig holes to poop in. It was the most miserable 3 days of my life.

You sound like a joy to be around

I hike a lot and pee at least once per hike (4 miles+) -- if I don't, it means I'm not drinking enough water.

I've never done #2 outdoors, but I don't see the problem if you do it in a hole and cover it up. Kind of essential if you hike back country and if you have some intestinal issue and there isn't a convenient bathroom -- what the hell else are you supposed to do?

Not,recently. There were times where I had to break the seal when coming back from a house party in college. Also in HS before a cross,country meet I remember we had to pee in a cornfield.......

Well, I behind the nearest bush, dropped trou and let it go! Better than in m y pants. And no, I was not drunk. I was coming home from a late night workout at the gym and had to change buses.

I have autoimmune disorder that affects my intestines and have never done this! There is always a public restroom if you look around.

Nope. There was not a thing. Closest was a shopping mall 1/2 mile down the road, and I was not about to make it there.

everyday around 5:30 am...I take my morning constitutional in my neighbors bushes while reading his WaPo (I wear a headlamp and bring my own TP)

I had a 4 hour drive home from college one Friday and I grabbed a foot long tuna sub with double cheese and jalapenos. Horsed that down before I was even on the interstate. I had been driving for about 2 hours when I started to get a stomach ache, wasn't sure what was going on but just wanted to get home. About an hour later the stomach ache got much worse and I realized I needed to drop the deuce PRONTO! I was on 270 between Frederick and Gaithersburg and there was no bathroom in the immediate area. I hit the first exit and a few blocks down was a side road that paralleled the main road lined with trees. I settled between two trees and unleashed TWO foot long turds. It was unbelievable, but suffice to say my stomach ache was cured.

I think most people have peed outside more than once...#2 is a whole other story.

Glad someone has a sense of humor! I do my best from time to time to inject some much needed levity into threads.

I never have. I have seen a few people do it on Metro, in the small area of two seats behind glass right by the backs of trains. I have one guy a disgusted look and he said to me, while still urinating all over the seats, "What? You're allowed to go here, they call it the stall." Who is "they"!?

I'm a runner, and I've only had to poop outside once. I was living in DC and coming up Adams Mill road from the zoo. I was less than half a mile from home, but I just couldn't hold it. I stopped and used a bit of "woods" towards the bottom half of the road. it was early morning, but I'm sure anyone awake in the adjacent apartment building could see me. Used one of my socks to wipe. Sorry, but it could not have been helped.

In Europe? Do it all the time without a care.

In America: almost never, do to fear of being arrested / jailed.

Sometimes a bush in a random parking lot is more tempting than walking home to use the bathroom after a night out drinking. Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Of course, being a guy, it's a lot easier to be discreet about it than I imagine it is for women.

That lady in CO though? She's just disturbed.
