Yeah when you've got a hotel room that's pretty standard American English. Usually it's "go to my room/house to pee" but nobody really takes it as you peeing though the door into your house or something

Although it would be funny if people actually peed anywhere in their houses. 😙

And the wooden floorboards start to deform.
And friends stop coming over.
There are some disadvantages, that’s true.

I mean, most people do! The toilets are usually inside the house (other than when they're literally called "the outhouse")

Yes, smartiebutt, toilets are generally inside the house, but the keyword here is “anywhere“, which extends way beyond the confines of the toiletbowl. ☝️🥸

Yeah, but they responded to what you said! "Anywhere in their houses" could be just wherever in the house, or any specific spot; as in "is there anywhere to pee in the house?"

Oof. I’m too drunk to follow all of this. 😮‍💨
However, I am going to steal that sentence: “Is there anywhere to pee in the house?” and I’m gonna use it in real life.

Lol, you're welcome to it! And it's always fun to see your comics!
