Is peeing outside at a house party normal for GUYS?

The other day, I was hosting a small pre-game gathering (all girls) at my place when a friend's boyfriend and his pal joined us. We were just hanging out in the backyard. After about an hour, one of the guys stood up and ambled towards the bushes in the corner of the yard. He moved off to the side and was fairly distant, but his posture made it pretty clear what he was doing. He relieved himself for roughly a minute, then returned and sat down as if nothing had happened. I was quite taken aback by this. I'd never even met this guy before (and had only met the boyfriend twice), and he hadn't bothered to inquire about where the bathroom was, or if it was even acceptable to urinate in the garden! I certainly would have directed him inside had he simply asked. A bit later, we shifted to the front yard, waiting for our Ubers. The same guy then casually remarked to one of his friend, "I need to piss," before heading directly to some bushes to do his business again. His friend also disappeared into another set of bushes, presumably to do the same. I just didn't get it! Is this considered normal behavior for guys at a casual house party? or is it a bit gross to you guys too?? #ToiletDrama #SocialNorms #AskingForAdvice #HouseParty #GenderDifferences #UnwrittenRules #PersonalSpace #HostDilemma

How I Told My Best Friend to Stop Calling Me Every Day

You ever have that one friend who calls you so much, you start to wonder if you’re their only contact? That was me with my buddy Jake. At first, I loved our daily catch-ups, but soon, the constant calls had me dodging my own phone like it was a bill collector. One night, after missing three calls during dinner, I finally picked up and said, “Jake, I love talking to you, but these daily calls are killing my focus and sleep. Can we check in every Sunday instead?” He was surprised, but I explained it wasn’t about him—it was about my sanity. Setting that boundary was awkward, but now, our friendship feels less like a full-time job and more like, well, a friendship. 😅📱 #FriendshipBoundaries #HealthyRelationships #PersonalSpace

Roommate Treats My Stuff Like Community Property

Ever had that moment when you open your closet and—surprise!—your favorite hoodie is missing? Yeah, me too. Living with my roommate, Jake, is like living with a very friendly raccoon who thinks everything shiny is up for grabs. At first, I tried the whole, "Hey, could you ask before you borrow my stuff?" routine. He'd just laugh it off and say, "We’re basically family!" Sure, but last I checked, family doesn’t eat the last slice of my birthday cake. Eventually, I started hiding my snacks and labeling my chargers like I was prepping for a zombie apocalypse. It felt ridiculous, but it worked. The best part? Jake finally noticed and we had a real talk—awkward, but honest. Now, we actually share some things (on purpose!) and respect each other's space. Who knew boundaries could be so sweet? 🍰🔒 #RoommateProblems #PersonalSpace #Boundaries
