I had the strangest thought while on the toilet yesterday.  There we were, my boss and I in a public restroom taking a pee break and I was thinking, “Man, this is so weird that I can hear my boss peeing.”  I mean, it’s such a private thing, right?  It’s like the rudimentary, cave-man part of our nature that we can never evade, no matter how smart and advanced we become.  We all still have to pee.

I guess I’ve never thought about it before because I’ve always worked in a place where there were single-stall bathrooms so you were in a 4-wall, locked-door room to pee.  This was the first time ever that I’ve been in a public bathroom at my workplace.  It was kind of absurd. 

So one thought lead to the next and I remembered several funny, more rudimentary peeing stories (because peeing in a public bathroom isn’t so bad as these). 

One time that I peed in a cornfield with my partner-in-crime, Kara, and we didn’t know how to “shake it” so used corn husks to wipe.  Worst idea ever.

One time when I was in high school, I had to go to the bathroom so bad on a volleyball tournament road trip that I had to have my male coach pull over on the interstate and I ran into the nearby woods.  Talk about awkward.

One time in the worst of all rainstorms, I had to pee, but…well, you can read about it here.

I remembered all of this while peeing in a public bathroom.
