Martin C Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There's a difference between just 'letting rip' wherever you happen to be (as witnessed by the OP and sadly all too common these days) and making an attempt to find somewhere as secluded and discreet as possible. Getting caught short can happen to anyone (though it's pathetic when blokes leave pubs and immediately seek a shop doorways to pee in) but some 'people' seem to have no discretion (or shame) whatsoever.

Narden Dee Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 no excuse as there are plenty of toilets that can be used in town many part of the community toilet scheme just off the top of my head they are at the bus station, All betting shops must have a toilet as part of their licence requirements, Starbucks/costa, Orchard square, Crucible, M&S, Cole Brothers. Debenhams, Atkinsons, Moor Market in fact there are more toilets for public use now than when we had public toilets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many toilets available to the public in cafes, pubs and shops throughout the city centre, as I am sure you know, so please don't be an apologist for such repugnant behaviour.

They're not all available to the public though are they, and the ones that are don't advertise it. So you run the risk of being told it's customers only as you play a guessing game of "do they have a toilet, and is it open to the public"...

ECCOnoob Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) In 2019 there is little need for precious taxpayer monies to be spent on dozens of council facilities. People dont generally go milling around the streets for hours on end. If you are in the city for a legitimate purpose you will have access to multiple toilets. I have said before and say again.... If you are eating out - every restaurant, cafe and fast food venue has one. If you are drinking - every single pub, bar and club has them. If you are shopping nearly every department store or shopping mall has them. If you are travelling, the station and both interchanges have them If you are on business every office block, business centre, council office and hotel will have them If you are studying, there are dozens all over the university buildings. If you are here for leisure - every cinema, bowling alley, theatre, museum, gallery and library has them. If you are one of those unfortunate people who just happens to fall through the gap of any of the above then be a devil and sneak into somewhere. There are even registered places on the community toliet scheme which allow public access irrelevant of purchases or purpose.

Yes. Some blokes seem to prefer going for slash around a back alley of a pub rather using the toilets in the pub. I really can’t understand this. Recently I saw a man get off a bus on Ecclesall road and go for pee against a wall in full view. He ended up peeing all over his shorts and hands though with so many people around barging past. Justice was done 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 In the old days, does anyone remember peeing on the terraces during a match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some areas of Sheffield where he probably wouldn't have even got off the bus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think pubs are constantly monitoring who's in their toilets? Or m and s, John Lewis, millennium galleries, Atkinsons, McDonald's, coffee chains?
