Poll: Is it okay to pee in the shower?

[infohippie]

I guess i'll have to... we're you showering together and PEED at that time?
Mood Killer.

Doesn't have to be...

so as I was peeing in the shower earlier, i remembered a discussion i had with a girlfriend while we were showering and i peed. i felt it was okay because the liquids just went right down the drain, but she considers the shower a sacred place of sterilization like a microchip factory.

so, whats your take? and is it more okay for guys than girls since they can aim it right at the drain?

Its ok, when you're alone, in your own shower, but not ok in a public shower, or when you have more than one person in there, then its disgusting (unless the shower is as large as a room, with multiple drains, but its still your private shower).

Not sure if I should've voted yes or no here, because its only yes on the provision its solo.

EDIT: Also anyone stupid enough to say 'derrr, it saves on toliet flushing water' obviously hasn't considered, that the shower water being used during the duration of the 'waste fluid depletion' will very likely be more than the amount used by the toliet, so its not a moral imperitive at all.

Well, peeing with someone in the shower might gross them out, there might be smells, etc, so I can't blame your girlfriend for complaining with the both of you in there. However urine is sterile, it all goes down with the water, it saves time and it's basically more eco-friendly than using the toilet since you're wasting the same water on the shower anyway. There are no counter-arguments to this. If everyone would pee in the shower more often, the world would be a slightly better place.

Hi, no offence to you, your just the best example to use since you said 'there are no counter argumentst. 'The' counter argument you'll find, is the time consumption, versus the amount of water used by the toliet (a static, small amount), versus the water used in the shower (variable, likely much more). You would be correct if neither proceedure took time, but honestly, unless you just let it go on its own, and continue with the routine and ignoring it (which strikes me as really weird), then the time factor outweighs the potential water saving possibility.

No, I have not measured this in real life, but this is an educated assumption which I think you'll agree with.

You can do it if it is your shower. Don't try it in your neighbor's shower, your professor's shower, or in your boss's shower. Be warned, it is incredibly stinky so you might want to hold your nose for a minute.

Why am I in my professor's shower?

But you regularly use both your neighbours and your bosses showers?

Also, for me personally, peeing in the shower is a total nono. But then, between growing up with siblings and housemates at University, I've spent pretty much all my life sharing a shower and operate on the principle of "Don't do anything you wouldn't want other people doing in there".

If it's your own private shower then fill your boots. Although I can't say I'd EVER pee with someone else in the shower with me.

okay, so let me address some things here.

1. yes, i peed with her in the shower before, but i moved to the front, and aimed down the drain. furthermore, she's gotten out and pooped while we showered and got back in. i lose either way, either A) she flushes and i get burned or B) she doesn't and the funk lingers in the hot air.

2. i'd never pee in someone's shower that wasn't okay with it, i paid my equal share of the bills, so it's technically both of ours shower.

3.she farted RIGHT DOWN my throat once. like seriously, i felt the hot air just... creep down my throat and leave a film... so don't feel too bad for her.

quick question here, erm, how on earth did she fart down your throat? i mean i have an idea, but im not sure if im allowed to say it here

O.T. yeah, i piss in the shower every single day, deal with it

 

[Shoggoth2588]

There's a drain in the floor and the running water will keep that urine right on going. If you walk into the bathroom, shrug and say "Screw the toilet" as you aim at the dry shower than I'd consider that a bit inconsiderate to whoever is going to clean the thing.

I'm so full of wat and disgust right now.

whatever it is you're thinking that you can't say here, that's most likely accurate, or at least close enough that i wouldn't have to divulge details of that horrid day.

Edit: okay, so after reading some responses here, again i feel i should address some things.

1. as for it being a mood killer, while we occasionally use the shower to get dirty AND clean, every shower either of us takes is with the other person, so it's more of a routine than a "moment" about 60% of the time, the mood is one of "lets get showered." that being said, if things were getting frisky, i can't imagine i'd be like "hold on, lemme pee." but ya know what? that's probably a lie, because i don't like messing around when i have to pee, it makes me paranoid.

2. i can't say this next part without people attempting to call bullshit, and i won't go into details, but someone asked about peeing in the sink, and i'm against that. she however is not. and i'll leave it at that.

 

[PatrickXD]

Yeah pee away my friend, as long as it goes down the drain and doesn't linger around.
But don't when you're showering with another person. That's just rude.

 

[electric_warrior]

Don't do it with someone else in the shower with you, that's not cool

Otherwise, it's okay

 

[electric_warrior]

edit: posted twice, ignore this

If it is your place and your shower fine. If you live with a wife/roommates then no. Just don't. It may be sterile but I some of us don't like the idea of stepping in human waste any more than necessary. Even if its diluted and an unnoticeable amount.

Consider me a wastephobe much like a germaphobe. It may not actually harm me, but it causes mental distress.

See, I get that point of view, but I don't get how it doesn't extend to all the other crap coming off human skin anyways. If I you have a problem with someone peeing in your shower, you should have a problem with someone else using your shower in the first place.

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

...we were showering and i peed...

If i understand that right, im pretty sure cleanliness isn't the reason your girlfriend was a bit pissed off (pun DEFFINATLEY intended)...

Peeing in the shower: Why not? It seems logical, rather than having to get out to pee.

Peeing in the shower, WITH OTHER PEOPLE: No. God no. Thats a social faux pas right there.

3.she farted RIGHT DOWN my throat once. like seriously, i felt the hot air just... creep down my throat and leave a film... so don't feel too bad for her.

...

What.

 

[Robert Ewing]

Well... I guess it all goes to the same place.

Just make sure it isn't a shower/bath. Because then people will bathe in your urine residue. Not cool

Peeing in the shower = thumbs up for me.

 

[BloatedGuppy]

I voted no, because I didn't want to be the guy who voted that it was okay to pee in the shower.

In an ideal world I would love that actually. However, I have to make concessions since I live with people who need to shower. I work with the assumption they aren't urinating in it, and I'm going to keep that assumption till the day I die.

There is a slight difference in the following however from the many things that wash off you. It originates from you. It smells. Its preventable. Oils, skin cells, and sweat are not preventable from washing off in the shower as the showers intended function is to wash away those things. So the reason I'm fine with those is only because there is no realistic alternative.

Also I bleach my shower everyday before and after using it. Hurray for automatic shower washers.

 

[UnknownGunslinger]

Bet the 20% percents who voted "not okay" were women
Go to 1:33 guys and if you say you don't do the same, you're lying
It's the subtle differences really

This thread again?

I'll say what I said before: Eeeww! Eww ewww EWWW!

People peeing in the shower is absolutely disgusting.

And yes, I know that people in the ancient world used pee to wash their hair and clothes. It doesn't make it any less gross.

Ick.

 

[castlewise]

True fact. Peeing on your feet is a great way to prevent athletes foot. If you shower at the gym you should be especially sure to pee on your feet.

Edit: The reason it works is that uric acid (the stuff in pee) is an antiseptic (along with ammonia and some other chemicals in there). You can even use it to clean and sterilize wounds if you are ever lost in the woods or pretending to be Bear Grylls. After the pee has sat for a while the uric acid breaks down into urea and various bacteria start colonizing the urine.
