I am here for Friends

About Me

So i thought i was an extraordinary pisser, but it turns out, i generally only pee about twice as long as the normal person. i had thought that my pee time averaged about a minute and a half, but it turns out that it generally only takes about 40 seconds. This discovery has led me to the conclusion that i am not some kind of peeeing paragon, but that i quite simply get bored of peeing very quickly. The question that now arises is - is peeing quite boring or do i just have a particularly low tolerance for it?
