2 circles is if you need to #2, 3 of you need to take a #3.
1+2=3
There's no place for a number 1. If you're not going to shit, then you're not allowed to pee either.
No no no, you just piss in the sink instead
Better to piss in the sink, than to sink in the piss

That's the only reason I suggested a #3. Thanks for spreading the good word.

The place for number 1 is to the right.
Is it possible to #2 and not #1? I don't think my plumbing works that way.
Actually now that I think about it, back in highschool one of my friends took a shit in someone's vegetable crisper and I don't recall him pissing all over the place when he did. So it must be possible.
It’s technically possible for everyone, barring some specific quirk or injury, but men generally find it easier to only shit. I looked it up a while ago and the research was American, so I do wonder if it’s because American men tend to pee standing up and they therefore have a bigger mental barrier between #1 and #2.
I’d like to see the study repeated with men who sit to pee or women who stand (it’s possible and not inherently more difficult than for men, but clothing and culture make it a lot less common than the other way around), because I suspect that the mental barrier is the key here.
I suspect there’s a difference because of other culture-related urination urges. I grew up doing a lot of swimming in lakes, and I was never really discouraged from peeing in the lake, as long as I wasn’t right next to someone (probably pretty gross for some people, but I honestly can’t bring myself to find it very gross). That’s my main experience with rapid, immersive temperature changes, and I still feel an almost overwhelming urge to pee when getting into or out of the shower or any body of water. I can pee immediately before getting into the shower, but that doesn’t make a difference. Infants have the temperature response too, which is why you need to be careful changing a diaper in the cold, lest you get peed on. It can be trained out of you though: a friend of mine grew up swimming competitively and had a lot of experience jumping into and out of pools, where she was discouraged from peeing (thankfully). She no longer feels any temperature related urge to pee that she notices.
Honestly, this is a much more thoughtful and thorough response than I was expecting.
That’s entirely fair, I think my medication kicked in partway through that comment, lol.
#3 is puke.
I was going off of the video by the "Northern Boys" EisFrei posted.
no worries. i was going off the original: janitors in the los angeles unified school district in like the 1960s, radio reporting bathroom incidents without making kids giggle. #4 was blood.
Haha nice. I do know of #3 you referred to. I just like that song, and think their #3 is hilarious.
You don't do a #3, a #3 is when your kid does a massive high pressure shit, it squirts up out the back of the nappy and into their clothes. Just hope it doesn't happen indoors, or in the car or really anywhere.
Had that happen in a restaurant. I was at the opposite end of the packed restaurant from the restrooms. I got a lot knowing nods from a lot of folks as I walked through holding the very smelly child at arms length due to the amount of soilage at play
Ooof. Been there. But I was going off of the video by the "Northern Boys" that EisFrei posted.
