The need kicked in as Geerte Piening was on her way home from a bar one night in 2015. She swiftly weighed her options: it was past closing time in Amsterdam’s lively Leidseplein area, meaning she could not duck into a bar to use their facilities, while the nearest public toilet was 2km away.

She resorted to squatting in an alleyway, coaxing her friends to cover her as she did so. Police soon turned up, handing her a €140 (£118) fine for public urination.

Few could have predicted what would come next. After a nine-year battle for “urination equality” in which thousands took to the streets of the Netherlands, this month Amsterdam said it would open more public toilets in October.

The day after Piening was fined, she woke up furious about the injustice of it. “There were a lot of urinals for men nearby but I couldn’t go anywhere to pee,” she said. “I thought, OK, this is an issue.”

Piening, then 21 years old, penned a letter challenging her fine, pointing out that Amsterdam was home to 35 public urinals for men and only three public toilets for women. “It doesn’t only affect women, but also people in wheelchairs,” she said. “It’s really important that there are places for everyone.”

After two years went by without any formal response, Piening found herself suddenly summoned to court to address the outstanding fine. “I thought: ‘What? I have to go to court? OK, weird, but yeah, let’s go.’”

She began spreading the word, sharing her incredulity over being hauled into court over the issue of potty parity. About 20 media representatives showed up to document her court appearance, as the judge rejected her appeal but cut her fine to €90 due to the length of time the case had taken to reach the courts.

The judge also offered his own view on the issue, telling Piening that despite the lack of female facilities she should have made use of a men’s urinal. “It may not be pleasant but it is possible,” he said.

Over coffee later with her loved ones, Piening pondered the judge’s suggestion. “We were all laughing about it because it was so ridiculous,” she said. “I think that is definitely not possible.”

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

#defs making thebed coz thats not a real chore!! there are no consequences for not doing that!! #all the other ones you Gotta Do somehow at some point

I had a strange dream that was long and much changing and many people in my life were there but most importantly I had 2 cats. One was furless and called Milka on account of her white and purple skin. And the other was called Mira and was red in the way all black cats are in the sun, but red all the time. The building we lived in was in much change and construction with tools and builders and materials so they would hide a lot but would come if I called.

#i had them from kittens which is strange to me as i dont like kittens so much

imagine you go out to watch something completely bad and unenjoyable. something like the emoji movie. imagine watching the emoji movie for the first time. and you walk out of the theater like “wow that was absolutely terrible, they completely bombed that film. lol i can’t believe they thought anybody would like that”. anyways you go to any social media on the car ride home and you see at least ONE 30 year old posting like “i’m really fixated on the emoji movie rn🥺 this is my fanart for my emoji movie au including my emoji movie ocs”. that’s my tumblr experience every day

#why are you following emoji movie enjoyer you can simply elect not to see that #but the rest is correct
