Why do people do gross things in public?
Okay I am going to rant about piblic urination. Sorry to be so graphic but I witnessed it twice yesterday while I was working. I am a fish and wildlife technician and we conduct fishing surveys at boat ramps. On two separate occasions yesterday I saw two guys peeing in public. One sort of hid himself behind the door of his truck. Another was pissing over the side of his boat which was tied up to the dock. There were many people around and a bathroom not 20 feet away. I don't think they were drunk (although they might have been). Now I don't want to sound too goody two-shoes here but it was just disgusting. What is wrong with people? All my boss said was "people are pigs." I wish there had been a cop around; I would have loved seeing them hauled off (do they arrest people for that or just give them a fine?).

1. Wow, I'm all for peeing in nature when out in it,
but at least be discreet about it.

I've peed out of boats, but only when in the middle of the lake with no one around.

6. Funny story
I used to work at a golf course, driving the beverege cart. Now supposedly golf is a "classy" sport...Gentlemen everywhere!

I can't even count how many times I would pull up to a group, and at least one of the men was caught with his pants down, so to speak. Such class and sophistication.

12. I was a beer cart driver once, too.
At a very elite golf course. I got to see many movers and shakers from all over the world taking a pee. :crazy:

9. I think some guys really get a kick out of peeing outdoors
and they do it every chance they get.

And some do it because they have no home and have no choice, but I don't think that was the case for you.

Well, don't drink the water. But then you already knew that...

22. Locking
Peeing in public is pretty bad, but bodily function threads are gross too, and against DU rules.

Thank you.
