Shy Pee and Cranberries
Permalink  

I know I shouldn't find this stuff amusing, but...




Millions 'cannot pee in public'   Some four million people in the UK are unable to urinate in public toilets because of a social phobia commonly called "shy pee", it is claimed.

Experts have called on the medical profession to be more aware of the condition as sufferers can wait decades before seeking treatment.

The condition is caused by feelings of guilt, shame or embarrassment about urinating in public.




Gotta admit... I generally head for a cubicle when I have the choice.


Ho hum.


On a slightly different note, I can replace with cranberries, apparently!





Cranberries 'block tooth decay'

Scientists have found a compound in the fruit can stop bacteria from clinging to the teeth, blocking the formation of damaging plaque deposits.

God - just how desparate would you be to go after decades?

You would love this then King. At Wrigley Field in Chicago (very very old Baseball Stadium), they still have big troughs to pee into. No separate urinals just big long troughs for you and 5 or so strangers to stand hip to hip peeing.

Of course the benefit of trough-style urinals is that you get to share your splashback with many other dudes!

did anyone hear about the 'she pee' - i heard about it years ago at some concert but then it was on the dragon's den last week..

it's a funnel type thing that girls can use to aid 'standing up and peeing' which personally i think is the biggest load of stupidness ever

Sounds very... er... handy.  What's the actual benefit of peeing in an upright position?  presumably it's a time saving device - but then I'd imagine that you'd be wanting to clean it after each use, which would probably mean you'd end up taking the same amout of time... that or carry a wee flavoured plastic thing around in your handbag!

Beware the stage freight!!!.


Wonder what the treatment for such a condition is? I would think 3 cups of coffee ought to cure that!

Aye. The coffee'll do it. Or back to back meetings all day. Or both. Argh...

Add to that list any number of bars I've visited.  I can think of two right off the top of my head.

Well, why don't you subtitute brushing for dried cranberries for a month and see if The Boy comments on it.

i ate my first non-dried, straight off the tree (into the tesco packaging, washed in my sink, into my mouth sort of straight off the tree) and it was sooo horrible

then billy made cranberry sauce out of them and they were nice
