Before the 1960s people just shat in the woods.
Public restrooms were campaigned for by suffragettes because women were unable to leave their homes for any period without them. Men would just wee against a fence.
That's the Victorian era for you. But for many earlier centuries women went out all the time to take care of various errands, so they must have had some form of acceptable public peeing, even if it's not written down for us to study. Maybe they just gathered up their skirts and squatted behind a designated bush. Definitely sounds like the kind of thing Queen Victoria would have suppressed.
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Closest one to Vatican is like 10 min drive or 40-ish min walk. It's most likely forbidden to shit there plus it's also unlikely that he makes the trip every time he needs to go. They might have a secret forest hidden underneath the Vatican, however. We may never know.
Dan Brown knows the secret but he doesn't want to say it. Dan Brown, it was in front of us the whole time.
Lmao. That was good, ty
