What is it about the sound of running water... |
|
that makes you want to pee?
In my mid 20s I was in a pretty serious accident and broke my kneecap. I was in the hospital, and bedridden for the first couple of days.
So...I was forced to use a bedpan and that male urinary jug thing. I say 'forced to', but the problem was...I couldn't.
I guess my system was still in shock, or something. The URGE was there. OH YEAH. But nothing happened.
Then a new nurse came on shift. Quite a looker. "Can't go, hon?" "Uh...no." "Here, let's try this." And she turned the faucet in the sink on. And...blessed relief.
Weird.

1. something similar happened to me |
|
I had given birth to my son, and had spinal anesthesia, which was wearing off but wasn't completely worn off.
The nurse came in and said that I had to get up and go to the bathroom. I told her I didn't have to go. (All I wanted to do was sleep; I had been up all night in labor.) She insisted that I had to get up and walk. She walked me into the bathroom and I sat on the pot. I said "see, I told you I didn't have to go."
Then she turned the faucet on. I think I peed for about an hour.
:wtf:

Our bodies do strange things to us.

3. Well then, don't ever walk beside a river. |
|
or stand beside a waterfall, or meander alongside a babbling brook.

4. When I was potty training my kids, I used running water as a |
|
training aid. I suspect it was the same with many of us and established a subconscious response to the sound of running water.

5. We had a small indoor fountain, but stopped using it... |
|
because to my daughter and me it sounded exactly like my teenage son peeing. In urology terms, "strong stream."
