The Soothing Sounds of Running Water

I've seen some guys like this, jimbo. They blame their moms.

An open can of baked beans. That sounds like another great Discussion topic. You should go for it.

Greeting Cards? That's a new one on me, 4cuteboys. I will admit that the urge often hits me anytime I am shopping with intent to buy something and need to concentrate. Weird, huh?

What on earth happens if someone gives you a greeting card? Wait! I don't want to know!

lolol it's only in the store! once i buy the card it's okay. i dont think im used to concentrating that hard. believe it or not, I can be a little flaky..muahhahaha

You actually get out of the water and go to a bathroom, rather than just going in the pool, elisa812?:p

Transdisc, I haven't peed in the pool since I was a kid. I always get out. I wouldn't want someone to see it for one thing. How embarrassing. Also, even with chlorine, I don't think it's too healthy for the other people in the pool. And, sort of gross.

I don't like having to interrupt to go but I think I'd rather.

You have brought so many interesting things to this conversation, Hmmmmm.

I often wondered why so many females went to the bathroom in herds. Could this finally be the answer to that great mystery? It takes one female to turn on the water, and another female to do the deed. After one female does her deed, am I correct that the other female then takes up the fawcet responsibilities? Furthermore, what if there is someone else in the bathroom? What is the fawcet etiquette between strangers? Also, what if a female is in the bathroom alone? How can she do her business without someone present to turn on the water?

This is an amazing concept, Hmmmmm.

I actually knew a guy in college who also didn't like anyone to hear him doing his business. His solution? He would sing loudly. He wasn't a very good singer, either. Anytime we heard him singing, we knew what he was up to.

Well, I can only speak for myself and my experience with this one friend. When she was done doing her deed, she met me at the faucet, proceeded to wash her hands, turn the water off herself, and we would leave the restroom together.

I, however, am completely capable of independent urination. I don't need running water. I don't need help. I don't need company. But based on your series of questions, doesn't it just seem to make sense that there should be some sort of 24-hour, constantly running fountain in all women's restrooms? Seems to me this would alleviate the need for bathroom herding.

Your fountain plan does seem like a good idea, Hmmmmm. For all I know, all women's restrooms already have a fountain. Well, there goes my herding theory. It's remains a mystery.

I don't even know how to respond to this, mummymo.;p

you mean I have actually got Trans stuck for words - how cool is that! Or should I say how book is that - the kids use this now cos of predictive text, too lazy to change it so they just use book instead now! lol xxx

Aha! I knew you existed. I was wondering when someone would step forward. Thank you, Calais. Why do you think it triggers the urge to go for you?

I dont know why, all I know is that after hearing it Im absolutely busting and need go to the loo before there is a flood...lol.

I also find a dripping faucet annoying, JessyBlue, but it doesn't make me have to go. Does it make you have to go?

For a moment, when you were speaking of rain, I thought that you were going to write a nice poem on this subject.

Nope doesn't make me wanna pee, makes me want to rip the faucet off and throw it outside.

I don't really write much anymore, haven't been able to in a while...the poems I post here and there are just poems from 6-7 mouths ago.

Maybe these highly intellectual and knowledgable discussions will help your writing muse....

They definitely might.....all I need is some inspiration and a little emotion to get my fingers tapping.
But doesn't matter this is good health FUN..!

Yes, it is fun, isn't it? It has surprised me how fun it is. Yesterday wasn't fun as a certain feline gave me a scare, but other than that it's loads of fun!

It has surprised me too, the fun of my lot!

My lip is still a little droopy over the lion..

He's still here. And still posting, haha! His 'strike' didn't even last an hour, lol. I sure hope that he doesn't see this.:)

Yeah I just noticed about a minuted after I posted that.
Its nice to see him posting again!
Well lol at least he gave it that long.

It does sound simple enough, kfrisk.

I have heard others say the same thing to explain their running water urges, someonesmom. They say that when they were younger their moms ran the water to help things along, and that they were eventually conditioned to this.

Thanks for sharing.:)

It seems to work for a lot of people, whimsystoryteller. I suspect that it is a conditioning things, as it doesn't effect everyone.
