* In a ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/704709346251128832 fancomic]], Hunter stops Amity from getting ice water because he was "named" a "Knight of the Kitchen" by Camila. Later, Amity has some fun with this by pretending that Camila has named her "Knight of the Bathroom" and that, consequently, she has the right to stop Hunter from using the toilet. Hunter, who is in the middle of a Main/PottyEmergency, says he'll just go in the woods.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob:'' When Bob, Jean, and Voluptua have been trapped in a mysterious, infinite flat plane for many hours, they mention that they eventually had to resort to this. Jean is not pleased.

NatureTinkling (also known as "making wet leaves") is when a character deliberately relieves themselves outdoors because they enjoy it or have no choice. Sometimes happens during the CampingEpisode. If it's in the water, that's PuttingThePeeInPool. Characters trapped in a PottyEmergency might do this or try to do this. Do not add an example if an animal that is not a (more anthropomorphic leaning) FunnyAnimal or BeastMan does this, as for them, peeing outside is the norm. Often if someone pees on a plant, the pee-er or someone else will make a joke about "watering" the plant.

Compare PuttingThePeeInPool for when it's in the water, JarPotty for when it's in an object, EmbarrassingDampSheets for using a bed as a toilet, AllNaturalFireExtinguisher for using urine to put out a fire, PottyEmergency, PottyFailure, UrineTrouble, ToiletHumor and YellowSnow. Sometimes, the Nature Tinkler might have to use a ToiletPaperSubstitute.

** Vera goes to look for her little brother Phil for some sympathy after a bad day at camp, and finds him with the other boys of his level outside peeing off the top of a rock.

* Vera in ''ComicBook/BePrepared'' does the pooping variety. After her first night in camp, Vera goes to the "Hollywood" (outdoor toilet) to poop, and while doing her business looks up to see the ceiling ''covered'' in [[SpidersAreScary spiders, with one coming down towards her]]. She takes off running and finishes outside.

* This trope is alluded in the ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' episode "McFists of Fury" when Randy tells Howard he'll "be behind a tree" so as to check the Ninja Nomicon. At first, Howard calls him out for that thinking he wants to relieve himself in the outdoors.

'''Randy:''' No! The Ninja Nomicon! The ancient book of Ninja wisdom! [[SarcasmMode Heard of it?!]]\\

* ''Literature/{{Scumble}}'': The main character Ledge has a PottyEmergency and is tempted to pee on the cacti, or as he puts it, "water them in a serious way".
** In its sequel ''Switch'', Ledge's cousin Gypsy and her little brother Tucker try to sneak past the cops by pretending that Tucker has to pee. It doesn't work, though, because the cops tell Tucker to "write [his] name in the snow".

* This trope is actually part of a significant CharacterDevelopment moment in ''Film/DrivingMissDaisy''. While driving Daisy to Mobile, Hoke, her chaffeur, says he needs to exit the car and pee on the roadside. Daisy objects and asks why he didn't go earlier at the service station. Hoke points out that as an African-American man in the segregrated South, he's not allowed in the service station bathroom, so he is more or less forced to go in the woods when they're on the road. Daisy urges him to wait since they're close to Mobile, and while Hoke acquiesces at first, he eventually overrules her and stops the car to go pee, telling Daisy that he, a grown man approaching 70, doesn't need someone telling him when he can and cannot pee. This scene signals that Hoke has GrewASpine. In earlier scenes, he was deferential and servile, even when Daisy was being stubborn and disrespectful. After this scene where Hoke relieves himself on the roadside, he's more able to speak up for himself. This scene is also part of Daisy's CharacterDevelopment; throughout the film, [[DefrostingIceQueen she grows less and less cranky and hardheaded and opens up to Hoke]], to the point that in the end, they are more two best friends rather than a servant and his mistress.

* In ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'', Seita stops walking through the bombarded city of Kobe for a while so his little sister Setsuko can to take a leak. Later in the movie, the two siblings pee together near their shelter at night.
