Miss Seal My friend was hanging out with a potential suitor (let's call him Edric) and his friend, whom I happened to like. Let's call him Brad. They were walking her to the bus stop when Brad decided he had to go. He had had about 6 beers.
The bus stop happened to be right by the Bryant Park New York Public Library (the place where Carrie Bradshaw wanted to get married in Sex and the City). I love that library.
Though my friend suggested that Brad could relieve himself at a number of restaurants or bars (it was 11:00 pm in New York City!), Brad relieved himself in the public library shrubbery.
Here's the thing, I know boys will be boys, and I understand if we had been driving in the middle of nowhere for hours, but really?
By the library? I'm going to graduate school to study literature. He literally peed on my calling! And though I wasn't there, it was a bit of a turn-off, to say the least.
Am I making a big deal out of this, or am I right to be slightly irked?
Guys, would you relieve yourself in the public library shrubbery in Manhattan? Ladies, how would you feel about that?

"He had had about 6 beers."
Gee, maybe he was drunk?
It really shouldn't be up to Datingish readers what a dealbreaker is for you. Everyone has a different opinion.
I'd really prefer guys, drunk or not, to pee ... not on shrubbery's near libraries. I'd be a little irked, too. It's just not cool. I love libraries :P
At least it was a shrub and not on the building!
It's not like he walked inside, opened To Kill a Mockingbird and peed all over Atticus' name. It's a bush outside. Get over it.
It is a good case .
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - totally agree.
He was just watering the bushes. No big deal.
@RedheadAblaze@xanga - Exactly.
(Note: I probably would never be the guy to piss on a shrub in Manhattan, but that doesn't mean I'd condemn the one who did.)
@poet85@xanga - Fair enough =P
As one who has publicly peed on a tree in our nation's capital, I must say that it is much better to wet some shrubs than have your bladder explode. Sometimes necessity takes over "decency".
@RedheadAblaze@xanga - I laughed very hard at your comment.
@IfIWereAchilles@xanga - It's not a day until I make someone snicker with an off color remark.
@IfIWereAchilles@xanga - So was it an important tree or just a tree? Cause that makes a world of difference.
Oh for the love of God its a freaking bush! And he had 6 beers. Get over it. Seriously. You have the right to be a little bothered, but cut the guy some slack. Let this be a lesson to you to not let him drink so much next time, huh?
And honestly I'd rather have him pee if i was you. That way he can sober up a little better.
@RedheadAblaze@xanga - It was just a tree lining a street in some neighborhood. However, I think that's better than, say, the walls of the subway station I was in right before that. And, to my defense, a female acquaintance I knew peed in some bushes earlier that night.
@IfIWereAchilles@xanga - Haha well it would be way more impressive if it was the Christmas tree in front of the White House. But I think I can accept that.
Whipping it out in public and peeing on things is a HUGE turn-off for me.
Be a man and hold it!
I don't know. He was drunk, so that probably caused his judgment to be a bit impaired. Personally, it's a turn-off for me. But .. yeah everybody will have their own opinions on this one.
ummm... it really just depends on the person I think. I would find it a def. turn off but to each there own, some people just don't care *shrug* thooough as many say, his judgment could've been impaired? dunno-why was his reason for not going to a normal bathroom?
omg he peed on a bush. Â whoop de do da
At least he didn't pee on a homeless person.
when you gotta go, you gotta go.
what's all the fuss about?
hell, from the entry post i thought he urinated on the books in the library (that would've been badass). cut the man some slack - you live in new york; the rain water probably has more uric acid than his urine.
It's just a bush. I would have laughed at him.
Well, I understand it's offensive, but he was drunk, had a full bladder, and went in a bush. On the brighter side, at least he didn't urinate all over the building. But, if that turns you off, it's not up to us to tell you otherwise. I hope he has enough redeeming qualities for you =].
Were you expecting him to be a gentleman?
I would NOT pee there
