This is the most relatable thing I've read all month.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

So no original experiences whatsoever huh

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

That moment? This is becoming my every day!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nightlight. Use it when you're brushing your teeth too, no bright lights an hour before bed.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

One eye open, switch light on, pee.

Switch light off, open opposite eye, go back to bed

[-] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Slight adjustment: No lights, vape screen is now flashlight.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

No lights at all, sit down to pee, go the fuck back to sleep.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

aaand I fell into the toilet

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

Pro move, don't turn the light on, sit to pee

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I do this. Occasionally fall asleep on the toilet. Whatever, mission accomplished.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Super pro move: don't turn the light on, piss all over.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Hyper pro move: wear diaper to bed

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Ultra pro move: Master the art of echo location

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Double pro move: Get a warm color night light

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

My bathroom has a small nightlight in it. It's very dim, but just bright enough to pee by with minimal damage to the sleep cycle.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The light in my bathroom is piss-yellow, which I guess also helps because blue light is bad.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

Eyes closed. Avoid light. Feel your way to the bathroom. Make sure toilet lid is up (or sit, I’m not judging). Make sure you’re not accidentally in the closet.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago

Always sit, are you kidding? No way I'm peeing standing up with the lights off.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

I broke my ankle a while back and it never healed properly. Since then I've appreciated the relief of sitting to pee.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Also, even if you don't see it, it splashes everywhere.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

That’s why you just pee in the sink

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That’s why you just pee in the sink

Good times, good times.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This does not seem like an effective way to reduce splashing.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

But it does get rid of the need to reduce splashing

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I disagree.

If there's going to be splashing, I'd very much rather it be around the toilet (which is presumably only going to be used for toilet purposes) than around the sink (which might be used for hygiene purposes as well as maybe filling cups, washing hands, brushing teeth, etc.).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I somehow misread "sink" as "shower". Yeah, I agree with you here.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Disagree. The more parallel your stream is to the surface it’s hitting, the less likelihood of a splash. It’s hard to get a good angle in a toilet unless you really try. It’s very easy to do that in a sink at or slightly below dick level.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

This is written by someone who a. Is tall enough to piss straight in the sink and b. Is not a grower.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I pee in the shower, harder to miss when drunk.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You must be clumsy as fuck if you managed to break you ankle while you were standing to pee. Either that or your technique is waaaaaaaayyy off.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Heh. I can't tell if this is a deliberate misinterpretation (in which case, pretty funny) or not (seems unlikely).

I broke my ankle taking out some recycling. It was sleeting heavily at the time and I was wearing my wife's flip-flops because I couldn't find my shoes (edit: fun fact, it turned out I had set the recycling on my shoes while looking for them). I slipped and fell off the front porch and my ankle broke when I landed.

I've dislocated my shoulder fourteen times, so I thought the ankle was just dislocated. Based on my experience with my shoulder, I tried to reset the ankle and stand back up ... Twice. I only stopped because my neighbor heard me and came over to investigate; in a twist I wouldn't believe in a movie, he turned out to be a physical therapist who mostly worked with ankles. He was a tremendous comfort because he was able to answer most of my questions while we waited for the ambulance.

The EMTs made me hop down the stairs of my front porch on one foot before they put me on the stretcher. To this day I wonder what they would have done if I'd broken both ankles or been several floors up or something.

I have so many stories about that night. It has shaped my life in one way or another ever since.

Oooooouuuuuuch

[-] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

That's pretty much what all the medical staff said!

At one point I had to stop and just kind of breathe in the middle of a sentence, then said "sorry ... It hurts." The nurse looked down pointedly and said "well, yeah. Have you seen your foot?"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Instructions unclear, am now secretly gay

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just from sitting down to pee once? I knew it

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Well, now your out of the closet.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

If I did this I'd end up blindly stepping on a giant house spider or one of the many bugs they're supposed to be eating. I have too many critters sneaking into my bathroom

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

When my mom was pregnant with my eldest sister in Greece, she apparently once headed to the bathroom, only to find a scorpion waiting on the doorknob.

Stepping on a spider seems preferable.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I feel this, 1000%

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I have mastered this technique to pro level. Now I fall asleep while sitting on the toilet. 🙃

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

have you ever woken up to your legs having fallen asleep on the toilet?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Oh my, yes. It is the next step to master. Although it is quite the adventure getting back to bed in that state.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Like piloting a gundam for the first time

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Just pee in bed. Easy solution.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I accomplish this by keeping a weed pen in the pocket of my robe hanging within reach of the toilet...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

RIP your REM cycle
