People weeing in public...

[hayley2956]

hi all, i like opposite our local tescos store who have just had a delivery from a Walkers crisp lorry. I happened to glance out the window and see the driver of the lorry (side on) having a wee in the middle of the road up the side of his lorry. is it just me or does anyone find this kind of unacceptable??

[Doc Spock]

Totally acceptable, when was the last time you saw a public convenience that was actually open.

[leg_end758]

acceptable but against the law.

my mate was charged and fined 20 quid for this in scotland years ago.

charge : releasing your urine to the leages( come on smarties spell it and explain it ) of the public, likely to causse a breach of the peace .

[skyep]

Hi hayley - Not on! base!!!!!!!

[hayley2956]

maybe he could have used the toilets actually in tesco dr spock?

[daffy654]

Totally unacceptable,he could have got an empty bottle and sat in his cab and taken a wee in the bottle. It can incur an �80 fine as well if he is caught/reported.

[skyep]

Hey legend, :0) So you were just hiding then!

[~Wingnut~]

Well if he was delivering to the Tesco store I'm sure they would have toilets, even staff ones he could have used!!

Unacceptable! not as if he was miles from anywhere he was at a Tesco's for God's sake!! Urinating in public is disgusting to see and is up there with spitting in public as far as I am concerned!

You are not alone in your thinking Hayley :o)

Not illegal per se. Hackney drivers are exempt, and it has been successfully argued that this applies to lorry drivers:

We seem to have an unhealthy attitude towards bodily functions in this country.

Go to France, mixed toilets, the gents in public squares are just a panel and a grid.

We all pee for goodness sakes.

[skyep]

Doc - I don't like a downdraft of urine, does anybody?

[~Wingnut~]

Yes in places provided for urinating in not on the path as you are walking along.

Quite frankly I do not want to see someone urinating in the street whilst I am going around the shops with my children.

[weeal]

I agree with you hayley, its not on! Some guys just pee wherever the need arises, I was having a smoke outside a pub the other week and a guy just casualy peed right next to me, I felt sick.

[skyep]

Agree, it basically sticks two fingers up to all. Not nice for kids to see, sets a bad example!

[slave-plater]

no it isnt good behaviour, in broad daylight , however driving large vehicles ,isnt easy to do , yes he could of used tescos toilets, but he didnt, everywhere you park , thier is a traffic warden, so he didnt look for public toilets either , ive delivered ready prepared fruit salads, dropeed them on the floor, if iam in a good mood, i would have thrown them away, the fruit salads, if i was in a bad mood ,i would have scooped the soiled fruit salads, up from the floor and repackaged them.........lack of hygene , well H , u have an answer ........goog riddance

[hayley2956]

slave-plater did i ask about ur fruit salads?? no. I was talking about some bloke who had parked his lorry in the grounds of tesco who clearly couldnt be bothered to step 2 feet into tescos n have a wee. pure laziness.

We were watching an IRA terrorists house in west Belfast from a graveyard across the road when some b4stard stopped at the hedge I was hiding in and p1ssed all over me.
Nothing to do with the question, just thought I'd give you all a larf!!!
BTW I think urinating in public is unacceptable

[pastafreak]

Horrible and not acceptable...this is up there with parents that hold their little ones over grassy public spaces to pee...saw one doing that in the middle of a busy shopping precinct a while back in an area where folks could sit in the grass...yuck!

[weeal]

4Gs and pastafreak - oh yuk right enough

when i was young i had some folk stay over at my flat after a night out and one of the guys thought he had gone to the loo in the middle of the night, opened my wardrobe door and ..... yep. Never spoke to him again and had to chuck out all my shoes

[4GS]

At least it warmed me up a bit

until the frost set in

brrrrr ;--((
