To explain again - they dig a BIG HOLE in order to use as a toilet … it’s usually a deep hole. very deep! Call it a ‘long drop’ for obvious reasons. (Us Aussies aren’t very inventive with names).

Sometimes they stick a tent around it (like they did on my two week Geology trip to the Warrumbungles) other times it’s a bit more permantent and they stick wooden construction around it.

After you’re finished, you just fill the hole in.

“Although urine is commonly believed to be ‘dirty’ this is not actually the case. In cases of kidney or urinary tract infection (UTI) the urine will contain bacteria, but otherwise urine is virtually sterile and nearly odorless when it leaves the body. However, after that, bacteria that contaminate the urine will convert chemicals in the urine into smelling chemicals that are responsible for the distinctive odor of stale urine; in particular, ammonia is produced from urea.”

So, my mistake. It is sterile when it comes out of the urethra, but once it’s out bacteria can grow in it, and that’s why it stinks.

next time u throw your used tampon infront of his bedroom and sing ‘It wasn’t me - by Shaggy’.

I had female flatmate, let’s call her MAD COW, as it was one of her nicknames! I’m not sure how she used to do it, but after she’d go have a pee, she’d somehow get it all over the toilet seat!
Like, I’ve met guy slike that (bloody animals) and everything, but a GIRL PEEING ON THE SEAT???? HOW THE FRIG DOES THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!

My brother pees into a bottle to save water! (Yeah, we get water restrictions in Perth). In winter I often don’t flush after peeing (only done that in Perth. Sydney I always flush! We used to have water back there!) Anyway, it’s only because of water restrictions. Summer I always flush otherwise it would smell (I presume).

I also used to work some places where some of the guys would pee all over the seats! Hate that!!!!! You’d go to the toilet, and you’d want to sit down … and the friggin’ thing is soaked with piss!!!!! You’d wonder what there mother would do to them if she caught them! Tie their peepee’s in a knot I suspect!!!!!

Anyway, it’s good to be in places with flushing toilets. Outback Aussie (like when I went on a Geology trip for two weeks), they’d just dig a hole and stuff (called a long drop) and stick a little tent up around it and there’d be no water - except what you brought to drink - so you’d have to use the long drop - and it’s like 40 degrees celcius and there are large horse flies (so large, they’d fly off with a sheep between them! BIG FLIES!!!!) Now that’s really bad! Some of the tourist spots in the middle of nowhere might have toilets like that too … no water, so you need to use a long drop or something (only they’d have built some wooden structure around those … a bit more advanced than a tent!) Those ones always attracted large spiders and stuff!

Anyway, if it bothers you (which it only seems to slightly do) maybe you can talk to your flatmate. Convince him you can afford the water bill. (And if he continues, pee in his bed … while he’s sleeping in it!)
[Wooops, that was evil of me to say! hee hee!]
