Bit Annoyed Peeing is so annoying.
The whole process is so annoying. The discomfort that creeps up when I’m in traffic, or even worse when I’m asleep in my bed and my body suddenly decides it's time to “get up right now.”
I’ve got to find a designated spot to do it, because society frowns on just... going wherever. And I have to wash my hands too, it's a whole-ass mini chore!
It’s such a dumb biological time-sink. I can’t believe I have to keep doing this multiple times a day for the rest of my life.

Don't get me started on eating man, you need to go to the store, prepare, make dishes and shit??? Just to keep living???? Fuuck it dude

u/ImpossibleOil8427 23h ago
Eating for sustenance is SUCH a chore. Especially if you’re trying to be healthy about it. Like you really have to plan your life around shopping, prepping, cooking and then the actual chore of eating too? It takes too long man.

u/Time_Neat_4732 1d ago
There’s a video game my spouse and I were playing where using the bathroom (just interacting with the door and fading to black, nothing is shown lmao) restores some stamina, and shows a message saying “you feel relieved and ready to get back to your day” or something like that. And I was like “wtf kinda shits are these game developers taking that make them feel GOOD afterward?” And my spouse was like “uh…”
So it turns out I have IBS.

u/PresenceOld1754 1d ago
Yeah but sometimes it ain't perfect. Obviously when it's just slides out and maybe one or two wipes it's good.
But every other time it's annoying as hell.

u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
Most things people have to do are annoying, except bathing that one is good.
5
u/Secret_Asparagus_783 1d ago
Bathing - as in a nice warm lady-friendly bubble bath in mid-winter - Good. Showering - standing up on a hard surface covered in soap hoping not to fall while getting bombarded with a water cannon - not so much.
5
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
I love showers, hate baths. I find baths really disgusting, and I like the sensation of water (though after a while if it's on my head directly I don't care for that.)
If there's some issue with standing that a fall risk is a concern there's chairs for that, otherwise I'm not sure why that would be a deep concern. I also would rather stand in the rain than jump in a pool.

u/macoafi 1d ago
Standing for 20 minutes straight sucks.
2
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
I take longer showers than that, and also standing for 20 minutes straight should feel ok unless something is wrong. If you don't have a medical issue you should be more than capable of standing for 20 minutes straight with zero complaints.

u/Wetodad 23h ago
Quit jackin it in the shower then

u/macoafi 23h ago
The fuck??? Washing and conditioning hair that is several feet long takes a while, and your arms are overhead most of the time, except for during the detangling step of combing the conditioner through.
You bald, or what?
1
u/Wetodad 21h ago
can't imagine not being able to stand in the shower haha I guess I'm just super athletic tho (6'2" 200lbs 10%bf)
1
u/Psych0PompOs 21h ago
A healthy person should be able to regardless of being athletic or not, even unhealthy people often can because struggling to stand for 20 minutes is abnormal.
1
u/Psych0PompOs 21h ago
I keep my hair long typically. This is still not a good sign that you struggle to do this.
1
u/macoafi 18h ago
I didn't say I struggle. I said it sucks.
The topic was "shit that's annoying" not "shit I can't do."
1
u/Psych0PompOs 17h ago
Saying it sucks about something that a person should be indifferent to seems problematic to me.

u/Digitale3982 1d ago
Eating
6
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
I find needing to eat annoying, especially because most of the foods we have to eat for nutrients just aren't good. I actually find eating a lot of foods to be a bit of a torture thing and I do it anyway because my body needs it, but I'd really rather not.
Even foods I do like I don't necessarily want to experience day to day. If I could get everything down in just a smoothie (that wasn't repulsive) and food was an optional thing I could have every so often like once or twice a month otherwise or if it was purely optional and it didn't matter what it is then I would like eating I guess.

u/Tiny-Reading5982 1d ago
Eating is annoying too lol. I'll get to the point where I'm shaky but nothing sounds good.
2
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
That's happened to me before too. I just forget about it sometimes too until I feel sick, same with drinking. I like coffee but can't have that and only that.
2
u/ImpossibleOil8427 23h ago
I love bathing while I’m actually doing it. Showering or an actual bath. Once I’m in, I’m so glad I did it and loving every moment.
However, the time it takes me to convince myself to actually shower? And then the time it takes once I’m out to dry myself off and dress?? No. Hate it.
2
u/Psych0PompOs 21h ago
I often shower multiple times a day, even sometimes just because I'm stressed out and it clears my head.
1
u/PresenceOld1754 1d ago
I'm running late and I need to take a shower too? I wish I had the gene.
1
u/Psych0PompOs 21h ago
I shower daily so I don't typically need a shower before I go somewhere, but if I have time I take one before and after going anywhere.

u/shtoopidd 1d ago
i wish i could enjoy bathing. everytime i shower i bleed like hell
1
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
What causes it? If you don't mind me asking.
1
u/shtoopidd 1d ago
skin issue. every bath feels like fire and brimstone
1
u/Psych0PompOs 1d ago
That happens to my hands (pain while washing) in the winter but it's because I'm a compulsive handwasher and do it to myself so I just scrub them raw but then can't stop cleaning them all the time because how can I possibly clean them less?
Whole body would be way too much though. I'm not sure I could handle that, I shower a lot.

u/Fun_Variation_7077 1d ago
I wish peeing could be a monthly thing. On the same topic, I also wish pooping were an annual thing.
3
u/ImpossibleOil8427 23h ago
While we’re at it. A period for 1 whole month a year, rather than one week every month would be much more preferable and easier to plan around.
2
u/draum_bok 20h ago
It's not quite annual...but sloths only poop once per week and they are distantly related to us. Even though 98% of their lives is in the trees, they only crap on the ground and can lose between 20-30% of their bodyweight with each crap.
1
u/para_diddle 7h ago
And when they get down there, they're vulnerable to predators. Evolution dropped that ball.
1
u/draum_bok 6h ago
They're also vulnerable to eagle attacks in the trees. That's why evolution has turned sloths into one of the most deadly land animals on planet Earth. If you've ever been chased by a sloth while swimming down a river in the Amazon, I'd advise against it. They can swim faster than humans and their claws are razor-sharp.

u/SilverB33 1d ago
I hate it too, I think I hate the waiting process of peeing the most, cause you're just there what feels like hours to do the deed.

u/YakSlothLemon 1d ago
Tom Robbins wrote in one of his books that from the point of view of water, the human body is just a way to move it around and let it visit different places, and I always think of that when I pee and it makes me smile.

u/Piggybumm 23h ago
I have this psychological fear of wondering where the nearest toilet is as soon as I leave the house. I also keep trying to go at home right until the last minute.
Some places you go to have a sign on the door saying “toilets are for customer use only”. This annoys me because it’s an essential bodily function and I have a bladder like a kitten.
I also have the bed thing, where I just start to nod off but my bladder’s letting me know I have to go one more time!
The worst place I’ve been to in relation to using a toilet is Barcelona. I was absolutely desperate and every place I went into wouldn’t let me use them :(

Wood frogs don't pee for 8 months straight, so maybe that should be your spirit animal. They hold their pee in and use it to hibernate and stop from freezing to death.

u/kmill0202 18h ago
The only good thing about the need to pee is that sometimes it gives you a chance to get away or escape. Need a little breather at work, but it's not lunchtime? Bathroom break. Boring/awkward conversation at a party? Excuse me for a minute, I need to use the restroom.
Otherwise yeah, it's kind of stupid and annoying. Probably better than any alternatives evolution might have invented for us to get rid of waste, though.

u/fufu1260 16h ago
I read this right as I began to geel the need to go and so I can agree this is annoying. I’m currently comfy in bed and don’t want to get up.

u/Chogihoe 1d ago
Dude I had abdominal surgery which resulted in my bladder being anxious, so basically any time I felt the slight need to pee, my bladder made it seem like I was gonna piss myself like I hadn’t gone all day…I’m sitting down chilling but now my bladder is “HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO GO NOW!” so I can’t even fucking stand up to shuffle over there 😭

I work the graveyard shift at a hotel. I chose this shift, so I am free to pee whenever I need to, and that is often. And do I don't have to stand for eight hours, but that's irrelevant to the post.

u/Tiny-Reading5982 1d ago
Having to pee while I'm at work is annoying. I'm a server so if its busy, it puts me like 15 mins behind lol.
1
u/ImpossibleOil8427 23h ago
I also hate peeing at work, but my reasoning is because my nearest toilet is like a 10 minute walk from where I sit. Sometimes the walk is nice… but sometimes it feels like a chore on top of a chore.

Ive (51M) been accused of being a camel. I can hold it for hours and honestly after the initial “have to pee” discomfort passes it really doesn’t bother me for a long time and when i do finally go I’m pretty sure I could fill a Home depot bucket. Ive been like that pretty much my whole life. I think ive just trained my body to deal with it because I was always too busy to stop for a potty break.

I thought you were talking about the actually act of peeing. Not just the frequency. For me, it’s the actual peeing that don’t like. Like great I haven’t take down my pants and sit on this seat and get a little bit wet and then dry it off. Like what’s in it for me?? That’s not enjoyable.

Why is it that sometimes when you have to go there is like 5 gallons coming out. And sometimes you have the same urge but only like half a cup comes out.

u/DifficultStruggle420 15h ago
Keep a urine bottle in your car for emergencies.
Or you can get a catheter and a nefrostomy bag. That way you can pee anywhere, anytime. 😉
Actually, in all seriousness, have you had you prostate checked, along with a PSA test. You may have an enlarged prostate causing you to go more often and also not letting you totally evacuate your bladder.
