While in an office high rise, I was waiting in a reception area. I was the only one in this large room and had a very strong urge to urinate. I couldn't find the restrooms on that floor, so I opened one of the windows and relieved myself. I heard shouts from 5 stories below and when I peered out the window, I noticed that I had showered a hot dog cart and several of its patrons. Should I have used a potted plant instead?

it is proper etiquette --when in a office high rise to use the nearest hot dog cart as a urinal--however--i would also think that a well trained receptionist would have noticed your discomfort and offered the use of her top desk drawer!!---and as for using a potted plant??--how 1st floor is that??---tacky---i have also read that in some foreign countries it is an acceptable practice to use the elevator shaft---they even have attendants that will hold the door for you and offer a moist towelette for a nominal fee!!--hooray for them!!--i wish the usa would catch up on these practices--kinda makes ya feel like a cave man huh??

Honey, not only was it bad etiquette, but it was illegal. The hot dog vender can actually sue you and you could be subject to arrest. Forget the window AND the potted plant (some plants will be destroyed by urine and you would have to replace it if found) and find a restroom next time. This is NOT normal behavior. Humans DON'T need to "claim" their areas, so keep in your pants outside the bedroom and bathroom or skinny-dipping.

That was VERY bad. You should have used the potted plant. Not everybody likes golden showers.

Bad. really bad. Next time, try to remember to drink it instead of giving other people a golden shower.

A more concerted effort to find a proper facility to relieve yourself is what is in order. Or perhaps you should have had better foresight and go prior to your appointment.

ALways use a plant in that situstion, or a sink, or a walmart bag, or a corner. Just spray Oust air sanitizer.

No, always bring some plastic bags with you wherever you go. That way you can pee in those and dump them in the nearest restroom.

lol. That sounds like proper etiquette to me. I mean what were you suppose to do?! One time I started my period while I was visitng your mom and I couldnt find anything to use so I used your toothbrush. But since I gave it back I figured it was proper!
Dont worry!

Dude, if you can spell 'etiquette' correctly, surrely you're not so stupid as to relieve yourself out a window! How old are you?
