Robert Creeley has a poem related to this which I remember fondly, though having just re-read it, find I have come to a condition of once more realizing, I can no longer tolerate his insistent, abstract, mannerisms.

Where I went to uni at UVa it was an honor to live on The Lawn (Thomas Jefferson's original university) where there were rooms surrounding it. But to get to the toilets and showers you had to walk outside for some ways. Inside the rooms there was a fireplace and a sink. And every year there were mysterious accidents where some sinks would become dislodged from the walls of girl's rooms.

Everyone does it but that does not mean that it is all right.

I have never peed in a sink. A wastebasket, a wall-mounted fan, onto a giant purple cockroach on Broadway, but never, never in a sink. My mama raised me good.

i'm not so big on the sink. but if you have to pee during the middle of the night i highly recommend the bathtub, cuz you don't have to turn on the lights or aim. just lean against the wall and let 'er rip. minimizes any potential waking

― ron (ron), Saturday, 12 April 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

erm, easily misread!

I've never peed in a sink either!

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 12 April 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

well, that too i suppose. 100% hands-off endeavor!

― ron (ron), Saturday, 12 April 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

heh heh, "hands-off."

― hstencil, Saturday, 12 April 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I've ever had cause to do this.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 April 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

i highly recommend the bathtub

I did this one night when the toilet was broken and the plumber wasn't coming until the morning.

Gaz. How unhygienic. Why not just get to the bloody bathroom guys? My god.

Garbage disposals are like mechanical digestive systems and gross.

I once got a $300 ticket for peeing in a bush... on the lawn of the state capitol. Compared to that, peeing in the sink is the best thing ever.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 12 April 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i love you guys

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 12 April 2003 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe our sinks are set higher or we're midgets down here in nz, but from the sinks i've seen, you'd have to aim the piss stream high and hope when it started falling again the sink was below it. like half a mcdonald's arch.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Saturday, 12 April 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Usually you see this at crowded sporting events. Like when all the guys decide to go to the bathroom at the same time, and the lines are ridiculously long, some guys just decide to let it rip into the sinks.

One time at Soldier Field at halftime of a game, out on the insanely crowded concourse, some random guy asked me to help block the view of him while he peed into a beer cup (rather than go through the hell of waiting in the bathroom line).

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 12 April 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

The tradition on crowded terraces in England is just to unzip and piss there. If you're a civilised person you try not to piss on the leg of the man in front. Sometimes piss is running down the terracing.

I think this is less common nowadays, maybe because of the increase in the proportion of women there.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 12 April 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Cheesy European hotels across from the train station which always have the toilet located at the other end of a long, long hallway. You know people have been pissing in the sink uninterruptedly since 1902.

― Methuselah (Methuselah), Saturday, 12 April 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

How about out of the window? We've all done it, right?

Oh yes. And there's photographic evidence, somewhere in the offices of Procter and Gamble (UK).

an ex-gf pissed in her mother's sink and the sink of my shared apartment a few times. she was so nasty.

i really miss her.

― brian badword (badwords), Sunday, 13 April 2003 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

This begs the question: Did you help the poor guy out, and if not, why the hell not?

I've pissed in sinks before. Once because the toilet was broken at a restaurant, one because both bathrooms were in use and I was drunk and REALLY HAD TO GO. There were probably a few other scattered times. I've pissed in the bathtub, but only while taking a shower.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 13 April 2003 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i've shit in the bathtub but i was five or something. now that's a fun bath toy.

why are my posts so vile?

― brian badword (badwords), Sunday, 13 April 2003 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I've done it. Can't remember exactly why though. I do recall it being horribly unpleasant though, I've never been tempted again (much prefer the bathtub). Oh, and out of windows/off of balconies - best part of my college career.

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 13 April 2003 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, out of windows--when I was a kid and the cleaning people came to clean my house, I used to hide in my room. Once I had to pee, and since I was scared of the cleaning people I pee'd out my window into the snow and tried to make spirals.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 13 April 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

This begs the question: Did you help the poor guy out, and if not, why the hell not?

Oh, of course I helped him! It was hilarious; who couldn't sympathize?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Sunday, 13 April 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Especially out of the top floor lounge of the dormitory onto the bike of one of the snotty exchange students. Word. And off the top floor balcony of this one pub we used to go to all the time - when it hit the pavement in the dark alleyway below it was just unbelievably LOUD, I can't imagine how we never got in trouble.

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 13 April 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

After reading countless self-help books and spending thousands and thousands of my parents' dollars in therapy to overcome my obsessive penis envy, this thread brings it crashing down on me yet again.

Good lord, people with penises can pee in sinks ... My mind reels. My loins feel so limited and dull. Thanks a lot.

― jewelly (jewelly), Sunday, 13 April 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh come on jewelly, all men secretly want to be women. Women can orgasm multiple times. 'Nuff said...

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Sunday, 13 April 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Mr. Diamond: It is my understanding that most men are capable of orgasming mulitiple times. Did you just have the one when you were twelve or whatever and then give up, thinking that was it? No, no, no -- try again. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah. It was fun, though.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 13 April 2003 06:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I've done it. When I was studying in England, the dorm I lived in had communal bathrooms but a sink in every (single) room. So there were a couple of times when I woke up in the middle of the night having to piss, and I just couldn't be bothered to walk all the way down the hall.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 13 April 2003 07:24 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the etiquette for sink-pissage at night when you share a room? Do you risk waking roommate to leave the room to wee, or do you choose the sink option, which is quieter, but a lot more emabrrassing if you get caught?

I had this dilemma at university. I shan't say which option tended to win through.

― Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 13 April 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Me and a friend used to piss in the sink upstairs at his record store all the time, once we were tipsy enough. If his brother had found out he'd have been in trouble. I also pissed on one of the cats once, he was being a complete dick to the smaller one.

In my experience, kitchen sinks are the high ones. I can reach a bathroom sink without having to make any kind of arc. When faced with a kitchen sink, it is often better to find a dirty glass in the sink, piss in it, and then dump the glass into the sink.

If you're talking to someone on the phone and have to pee, using the bathroom sink instead of the toilet pretty much eliminates any chance that they'll hear it and say "are you going to the bathroom?" When you run the water to rinse the piss down, you can tell them you are getting a drink.

This method also eliminates the potential problem of leaving stuff in the toilet because you don't want the person on the other end of the call to hear it flush. Because when I do that, I seem to always forget to flush the damn thing for at least a few hours after the call is over.

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Sunday, 13 April 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

That's pretty fucking gross, even to me. Guess whose house I won't be asking for a glass of apple juice in?

I don't remember what book it is, but I think some sci-fi one (maybe Skidmore will remember) which had the spectacular line "Sooner or later, the comes a time in every man's life when he pisses into a sink." I think it might be Paul Di Filippo, from a fantastic story involving a parody of Richard Hell, Lester Bangs, and a dystopian future. Or maybe not. In any case Di Filippo is highly recommended, and especially Ciphers which is probably the third-best rock novel ever, and the second-best sci-fi rock novel ever (this falls a bit if you think Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo is about rock)

So what did the guy do with the cup of pee, Mr. Diamond?

― nickn (nickn), Monday, 14 April 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Er.. what did he do? Good gosh, I'm not sure! I suspect he probably set the cup down on the ground, leaving it for some other hapless spectator to come along and kick over, unknowingly spreading this chap's pee all over the floor of the arena!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 14 April 2003 05:39 (twenty-two years ago)

You male type persons should be glad you can basically pee whereever you like thanks to your anatomy. Even when faced with emergencies, its a lot more difficult for a lass to decide "yeah, I'm that desperate, so I'll pee in the sink", because that of course involves skirts and pants and somehow navigating sitting on said sink without it breaking or getting a tap up yer arse or... um, anyway.

We have a thing here called Moonlight Cinema, nice movies out on a big lawn at the Botanic Gardens. I made the grave error of drinking a lot of wine before a film once. Halfway thru said film I was in agony. Of course, it is dark, in a large garden, and the loos are a 5 minute walk through a bewildering array of dark pathways. I know at that moment I wished I was male so I could surreptitiously sneak into a bush and pee into a plastic cup or something.

Instead, I ran for the loos, found the guys ones were way closer, and thought "fuck this" and used the mens. The looks on the guys faces as a bunch of girls who couldn't be bothered running further to the ladies was priceless.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 14 April 2003 05:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Um that should read "as a bunch of ladies...burst into the mens".

Didn't mean it to sound like the guys were a bunch of girls, oy.
