Thank you for posting this thread. I thought I was the only one.

What I hate is when your at a gig inbetween sets and taking a leak. This happens about 1 in 5 gigs for me. Some drunk guy next to me at the stall starts telling me what a great guitar(maybe bass if I'm lucky) player I am(he might not even be drunk). Then all hell breaks loos when we both get done and trys to shake my hand before touching the soap.
 
I get stage fright. I hate when there are other people in the pee room with me....I just can't go!! I close my eyes and tell myself "there's no one here,there's no one here" and still nothing!

If I'm at a show and it's crowded even if I have to go real bad.....I can't! (unless I'm really drunk than I can pee anywhere or on anybody)


A quick Hijack: I was walking home drunk one night, and I had to walk through a park on my way home. I had to pee, so I walked under a jungle gym and whipped it out and started to go...all of sudden the ground started to move and I heard some groaning. All the sand moved off this guy who had buried himself. It was a bum who crawled out.....I pissed all over him!!! Scared the crap out of me! I did'nt know he was there. He mumbled a few choice words at me and walked away.

One might say he was pissed off at me....or in this case, pissed on! :eek: Sorry bum dude!

See? That's the point of talking about random subjects... like "How about them Yankees?" It keeps your mind occupied so you can do you business without thinking about stagefright...

Man, this topic is pretty cool :smug:

Yep and yep! They usually accompany the compliment with a harty slap on the back which hurts and/or nearly makes it fall back in your pants while it's still going.

I'm have searched for an email I got recently but to no avail. It went something like this:-

"I went into a public toilet and found myself needing to do something that wasn't appropriate for the urinal. No sooner had I made myself comfortable in nearest cubicle that I heard a voice comming from next door.

Him - "Hello?" He said is like it was a question with a rising inflection at the end of the word. I'm not one for bathroom chat so I ignored him.

Him- "Hello!" This time he sounded pretty sure that I was within ear shot. It was a bit odd but I couldn't see the harm and replied "Hi".

Him- "How are you?"

Me- "Not bad I guess. And you?"

Him- "What are you doing?"

OK now this was getting wierd. First he ignored my question, then he asked a question of his own to which the answer is prety darn obvious.

Me - "ummm... I'm probably doing the same thing you are."

Him - "Hey can I call you back? There's an idiot in the next cubicle answering all the questions I ask you!"
 
I've got a urinal story!<BR><BR>A few months back my wife and I were out at a bar in the city when we bumped into a friend of mine.<BR><BR>This (female) friend of mine happens to be gay and she managed to persuade us to accompany her and her girlfriend to a local lesbian bar for more drinks. So we agree to go along and they (surprisingly) let us in.<BR><BR>All is well and good but, after a few beers, I began to hear the call of nature. Because we're in a lesbian bar, the girls are using both sets of toilets. There's a queue of around 20-30 girls snaking out of the bathrooms which I had to negotiate my way along to get to the urinal.<BR><BR>Eventually, when I got there, I had to go with around a dozen girls standing in a line behind me alternately cheering and then heckling me the whole time. Talk about performance anxiety. :p

ummmmm.... better let someone else do the decorating.........

Why? Man, a urinal next to the toilet would solve the age old "seat up/seat down" thing with females in a real hurry... I'll stand to piss into my sink like fixture, and you sit, and do all that garbage that you women do. :D
