Took the 5:20pm train from NYPS which didn't leave until around 5:50 and didn't arrive to Maplewood until a very late 6:40pm. As everyone was getting off the train, this one guy snuck behind one of the billboard advertisements on the platform and started pissing right there on the plaform!!! Did anyone else see that? I know it was a long right, but for the LOVE OF GOD.....at least wait until everyone leaves the platform!!! | ||

To be fair, I didn't think anyone would notice. | ||

Who said we need cameras in Maplewood ??? | ||

If yah gotta go yah gotta go. Simple as that. What did you expect him to do? Use the filthy restroom on the train? | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2411 Registered: 12-2004 |
I'm always amazed by the cavalier attitude men seem to have about just peeing anywhere they feel the need. Imagine if it had been a woman who had dropped her drawers and peed in the corner of the platform, in full view of everyone getting off the train. Somehow I doubt Bob K would be saying "what did you expect her to do?" What I expect is that, as a civilized adult human being he should hold it until he gets to the bathroom of his choice! I don't see why that's so hard. And why shouldn't he use the filthy restroom on the train. It's not like he has to sit down or anything for gosh sakes. Sorry. As you may be able to tell, this is a huge pet peeve of mine! | ||

Not only that, but the world is not your toilet any more than it is your garbage dump! | ||

Me, for the record, my post was done with my tongue very much in cheek. Guess I caught at least one gullible person. Yah made my day!!  | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2414 Registered: 12-2004 |
Bob K, very hard to get the "tounge in cheek" aspect of things in cyberspace! Sorry, but it reads pretty straight-faced. As for gullible, perhaps, but more likely I'm just thoroughly disgusted by the whole public urination thing, and pretty much figured you were just another guy who didn't see anything wrong with it. Glad to know that's not the case. | ||

Why do people take this board so seriously ?? Lighten up !!! | ||
| Guy Supporter Username: Vandalay Post Number: 1343 Registered: 8-2004  |
Meand, I doubt many men would object to the sight of a woman dropping her drawers. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2416 Registered: 12-2004 |
Knew that was coming, Guy! | ||
| Richard Steele Citizen Username: Brookwood Post Number: 41 Registered: 5-2005 |
No offense but, you might be right about that dude.where there's room to peek there's plenty of freaks.  | ||

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus! Truer words were never spoken! | ||

Another reason women should always wear long, flowing skirts. | ||
| Hank Zona Supporter Username: Hankzona Post Number: 5029 Registered: 3-2002 |
Bob, what are some of the other reasons? Maybe this guy was just marking his territory on the platform for the morning commute..very primal. Or maybe he had the bag on after a few holiday beverages. | ||
| Hank Zona Supporter Username: Hankzona Post Number: 5030 Registered: 3-2002 |
and I will add, Im not saying it was OK for him to pee on the platform, even if it was against a sign advertising an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Just last week, I stopped a middle schooler from peeing against a tree on the Tuscan playground. I saw the kid and yelled, what the hell are you doing? He said he had to go really badly (obviously) but he zipped up immediately (I told him that he was in sight of classrooms). Maybe someone said something to the Platform Whizzer. | ||

Meandtheboys--why do I think that your umbrage has at least something to do with having three boys! Let me guess--they love to whip it out and let it fly by the side of the road, rather than waiting for the next rest area? Is this a battle in your family? It sure is with my three sons. "Daaaad, you gotta pull over, I gotta go NOW!" "You can hold it to the next rest area." "But Daaad, I gotta go REAL BAD!" "You are a big boy now, you can wait a few more minutes. Look, there's a sign--the next rest area is just 10 miles up. At 60 miles an hour, how long would that take?" "Daaad, cut the math lesson. I'm gonna pee in my pants!" "Dammit, why didn't you pee 10 minutes ago when we stopped for lunch?" "I didn't have to go then." "Dad, I think he is going to pee in his pants. I think he means it this time." "Okay, okay, just hold it another 5 minutes. We are almost there. I want you to use a bathroom like a civilized human being. Can you wait?" Silence. More silence. Kid seen squirming in rear view mirror. "Sh*t, okay, we're pulling over NOW! Just HOLD IT IN FOR ANOTHER MINUTE! Can you do that? Okay, let your brother out. LET YOUR BROTHER OUT NOW!!!" | ||

Frankly, there have been times when I have peeing envy..... | ||

Guy - still not as convenient. I don't see that happening next to an Andrew Lloyd Weber billboard. And I didn't think guys had to move so much clothing around...... | ||

Hank used "Andrew Lloyd Webber" in not one, but TWO threads this morning that doesn't happen every day. | ||
| Hank Zona Supporter Username: Hankzona Post Number: 5033 Registered: 3-2002 |
let's put it this way, Pippi...Im glad that advertising slogan, "Cats, Now and Forever", didnt turn out to be true. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2418 Registered: 12-2004 |
O.K, first off, Guy, TMI buddy! ESL, actually my umbrage comes from years of doing the singles/club scene in NYC. Never failed, every time I left late at night there was at least one guy--sometimes more--peeing on the side of the building. I grew up in a house full of women (except for poor old dad--now I know how he felt) so all this manly urniation stuff really gets on my nerves: leaving the seat up, messing up the rim and leaving it there, not flushing, etc., etc., Luckily for me, the man I ended up marrying also grew up in a house full of women (he had 3 sisters, no brothers) so he was fairly well trained in the common bathroom courtesies. And I also insist that my boys use the bathroom whenever possible. And there have definately been times when they've tried to pee against a tree within site of a bathroom. They've even tried it in our own back yard! I will say though, that if we were driving on the highway in the middle of nowhere and somebody really had to pee, I'd be O.K. with them peeing in the woods. After all, bears do it. | ||
| Richard Steele Citizen Username: Brookwood Post Number: 42 Registered: 5-2005 |
bears don't wear pants though. | ||
| Hank Zona Supporter Username: Hankzona Post Number: 5034 Registered: 3-2002 |
maybe though, as BobK suggested earlier, they can wear long flowing skirts. | ||

I see no excuse for that filthy swines behavior not when everyone can have one of these or one of these. It's what I use every day.  | ||
| Joe Citizen Username: Gonets Post Number: 1070 Registered: 2-2004 |
Now that's what I call a great stockingstuffer. Thanks alley. | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 11444 Registered: 1-2003  |
Trying to "civilize" your boys is like trying to get bears to wear pants. Good luck. Not that you shouldn't try, but I look at my dog's urge to pee ON THINGS as opposed to just peeing, and I realize that we humans have similar instincts. So the guy didn't actually pee onto the platform, did he? | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2420 Registered: 12-2004 |
Who in God's name would buy that as a gift! And why would anyone voluntarily wear something that was designed for folks who are incontinent! Eeeewwwwwwww! | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 11446 Registered: 1-2003 |
David Sedaris did a piece where he tried a Stadium Pal, and he's not incontinent, just very curious. I have it on audio. It's absolutely beyond hilarious. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 2421 Registered: 12-2004 |
Tom, it may be a losing battle to try to "civilize" my boys, but you can bet I'm gonna die trying! | ||
| Mr. Big Poppa Citizen Username: Big_poppa Post Number: 478 Registered: 7-2004 |
Yes, he did actually pee. As I was walking away, I saw a steady stream and a growing puddle.....surprised it wasn't steaming. | ||
| johnny Citizen Username: Johnny Post Number: 1498 Registered: 5-2001 |
If a bear poops in the woods but no one is there to see it, does it have any smell? | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 11450 Registered: 1-2003 |
Tom, it may be a losing battle to try to "civilize" my boys, but you can bet I'm gonna die trying! Yes, you definitely will!  | ||

On a serious note I resent the assertion that peeing wherever you want is inherently male behavior that only men who’ve been tamed, through being raised by women, have had beaten out of them. That’s crap. Note that person who started this thread is probably a male. As a civilized person I’m outraged by this behavior too. I don’t deny it’s more common among men, but that’s probably owing largely to the fact that for men it’s not such a logistical nightmare. Full disclosure, I grew up in a house of 5 women (4 sisters and a mom). But my sisters grew up in a house of 10 men (9 brothers and a dad). It was a pretty male dominated house. That being said not only did my sisters not take to public urination, we guys didn’t do it either. I really don’t like being associated with jerks just because we have a common gender, ethnicity, religion or some other denominator. | ||
| Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 11454 Registered: 1-2003 |
My implications were just jokes. I get a chuckle out of the image of trying to raise a housefull of boys. I have daughters, so what do I know? | ||
| Brett Citizen Username: Bmalibashksa Post Number: 2090 Registered: 7-2003 |
I could understand this if it was “Peeing off the train platform” cause peeing from a high place is just fun. |
