okay. so when I read "fewer trips to the bathroom" "I didn't need to walk far away to relive myself" etc.... it makes me wonder.
wtf do y'all do in every day life when you have to walk more than 10 feet to the bathroom? like, what if you're at the mall and the nearest bathroom is on the opposite side of the complex? this is making me uneasy.
Haha! Well, in our defense, everyday life doesn't involve portos. Plus, I don't drink nearly as much water (or liquor) in everyday life, so it isn't so much a problem.
When I go camping, you better believe I'm pissing in the woods with exactly zero regrets.

Mall bathrooms, at least here, are pretty decent. They aren't bonnaroo porto conditions. Obviously I hold it until i get there. At bonnaroo, the less time I spend in a porto, the better. I wasn't prepared for the things I saw in the portos last year. It changed me as a person. I wasn't peeing where someone constantly was hanging out, or a walk through spot like my neighbors did. I feel like I was being courteous. After people caught on, as the weekend went on.... more of my neighbors started to do it. Maybe not everyone agrees, but in camping situations, meh. I'll pee outside and not feel bad about it.

Well, Malls are indoors, and people are usually sober and able to move much easier. Plus the bathrooms are air conditioned and generally clean. Not sure what smellycat was going for but the comparison does not work.

It's not like I was taking a shit in the grass.
I had two options. Hold my pee until I walk 5 minutes to the portos, wait in line another 10-15 minutes, JUST TO PEE. Or I could piss in private where no one saw me without holding it all morning. We all have to make personal choices. This was mine.

Again....I think there's a bit of a difference. Camping in the forest. Or state park.
But when you're in a location where you're cheek to cheek with your neighbor.....make the 2 minute walk to the Porto. Yeah....it's gross. But at least it's a contained gross. And as long as you stay away from the food that's sold in centeroo you won't have to spend an extended period of time in there.
You wait in line. You hold your breath. You master the art of hovering and not splashing. And you deal with it.
Meh, agree to disagree. I respect your opinion and you DO have a good point. Butttt, I know myself well enough to know that when I get to Roo and start drinking, I'm gonna pee wherever I see fit. Fortunately, that's not in main walkways or right in front of me, haha.
Also, it is called "The Farm." Yes, I know it is maintained in part as a concert venue, but wild animals do come on the property the other 300 days. Plus, I have never seen a porto for these guys:
Everybody pees. Everybody poops. Some of us have more or fewer issues with it than others it seems.
Someone or something has peed everywhere you step outside at some point. Don't pee on other people. But I understand if someone really has to go, and does not want to miss a moment. Some things are more important than leaving to go to the bathroom.
Right golfers (Who are sometimes sober):
Or Professional Athletes:
For those who say that "I dance barefoot" or "I am in sandals all weekend." Big deal. So am I. You think this is not many times worse than stepping in a spot where someone at some point a while ago may have peed?
Do you know what they put down on the grounds to try and contain the dust? This is from the MSDS for the most commonly used product:
"7. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Inhalation: Extremely high concentrations of dust are typically self-eliminated due to the nuisance conditions they create. Over exposure may produce irritation of the mucous membranes, nose, throat, coughing and shortness of breath. In addition certain ice melters may contain small amounts of silica particles less than 5mm in diameter. These silica particles are capable of causing silicosis if inhaled in high enough concentrations over an extended period of time. The principal manifestation of silicosis if difficulty in breathing. This condition can progress to dry cough, shortness of breath on exertion, decreased lung function and pulmonary fibrosis.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation, particular on damp skin. Repeated or prolonged contact could lead to dermatitis.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation and conjunctivitis.
Ingestion: May produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and, if swallowed in very large amounts, may cause increased urination and central nervous system depression."
My advice? You are outside camping. We are all there to enjoy music and a really fun life experience with each other. Show just a little understanding and love.
And for the person who has to go, show love in return. Don't pee on people, and do what you can to not impact others who want to enjoy the fest just as much as you.

This one year at Roo I had to go really bad late at night while hanging around the site in Tent Only. There was an ice truck nearby and I walked up behind it to urinate. I was looking up at the stars enjoying my sweet relief when I heard a voice call, "Ahh no! I'm trying to sleep here." I looked under an found a hoboish looking man directly to the right of my stream. My puddle was a foot from his head. I zipped up and apologized and scrambled back to camp looking back to see him rolling over and shaking his head before passing back out. Not even an hour later I witnessed the same thing happen with someone else peeing underneath this dude's shelter. I guess my point is to look before you leak.

In alternative medicine, the term urine therapy or urotherapy, (also urinotherapy or uropathy) refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one's own urine and massaging one's skin, or gums, with one's own urine.
I have peed nearby my tent/car every year at 'Roo. And fer many a year my roommates and I would pick out a pee tree in our yard area. Y'know, to save on water bills.

Coincidentally I pee by your tent every year as well.
They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure … At least he fuckin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the fuckin' Block … I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.

Exactly.. Bottom line is, this is a festival.
So piss where you please as long as you're maintaining some level of courtesy. Anyone who's trying to crucify people on here for peeing between cars or in a bottle is lying to themselves. We all know you've done it.

Not even in 2011 when I was almost 8 months pregnant.
In the 15 years I've been playing the festival game...bonnaroo is one of the cushiest ones I've been to as far as amenities offered. It's not that hard to maintain a level of human.

Then you're just torturing yourself needlessly.. No one has any reason to be offended by someone opening car doors, completely blocking anyone's view, and taking a leak.

As a "piss-behind-my-car" kinda girl, I really don't feel crucified here. People are just stating their own opinions, to which they're completely entitled and I respect that. They're not going to change my opinion, as I know I probably won't change theirs. No harm, no foul.

I'm absolutely in Camp Piss Behind the Car. Especially later in the weekend when I'm recovering from the night before and don't want to walk in the sun for 20 minutes early in the morning.
