Do you pee in the shower?
Two co-workers (both females) and I were discussing peeing in the shower. All 3 of us do if we happen to be in there and the urge strikes us (not all in the same shower) . So we started asking around, and a lot of people said that they didn't. We 3 thought they were embarrassed, so perhaps behind the anonymity of the web you will come forward and be honest.
NO . That is Nasty , i go to the shower to get clean not smell piss !:vomit:
Do you shit in your shoes as well ?:turd:
zippyt oh how u make me laugh..
I cant say i do , i am female, however getting out of the shower and sitting on the toilet while your are dripping wet and soapy is definately not the most appealing, or comfortable thing to do in all the world. but i think it would feel weird peeing while standing up. IMO anyway.
I don't pee in the shower. I do, however, bathe in the toilet.
I do, making sure I carefully aim for the drain.

Bet that pisses off the dog.:D
I do. It's not nasty at all. The water washes it away almost immediately.
What a great subject for my first post.... :D
I couldn't see why anyone would have a problem with peeing in the shower. The water and soap are right there. Better than getting out or holding it.
Welome to the Cellar, amoeba!
So where exactly is "brew city"?
The olny weird thing that struck my mind about females doing it is that it runs down their legs, while males can just shoot it wherever. But since there is water flowing and soap readily available, what's so damn gross?
Lumberjim - I bet you not only pee in the shower, but also on the toilet seat.
An advance thanks to all those not too self-righteous to make honest comments. :)
I don't, but that's just because I pee in the toilet while I wait for the shower water to heat up. I don't shower long enought to have to pee again.

Ah, I should've known that.

That's alright... u'll always remember now :D
Saves on water, plus I have the shower wand to chase it around the tub. I just aim for the drain. It's gone in a matter of seconds. It's not like anyone knows I do it.
Oh, wait a minute...
I must say yes.
The voices said it was OK.
I voted "male-no", but not because I'm morally opposed to it. Rather, it's just one of those things I don't do regularly, because it's not a regular issue. Probably that upper-class-white-male dominant ideology again.

I plumbed that shower, I'll pee there if I want.
[COLOR=indigo]I stumble out of bed, turn the shower on, get in, pee, and then wash. *shrugs* It's really no biggie.[/COLOR]
Yes, but I also aim for the drain.
I used to stand real close to the drain but got bored when my aim got so good that I never missed (a layup). So I started from a little further back (the foul line) till I got pretty good from there. Once I mastered the shot from the charity stripe, I moved back to the 3-point line (NCAA) and I can drain it from there (so to speak) about 50% of the time. If I am really 'feeling it', I'll back up to the NBA 3-point line (all the way from the back of the tub). I figure I'm about a 40% shooter from that distance.
Probably more detail than you were hoping for. Sorry. :)
I pee in the shower without shame.
My wife is freaked out by the concept.

I live in a 175 yr old house. When we moved in, the house didn't even have a shower....just 2 tubs. I have since installed a
shower but i wouldn't pee in there. My kids take baths in there.... that's nasty. If I have to pee THAT bad, I'll open the curtain, and send it to the toilet from inside the shower.......j/k.......
actually, I usually take a shower when I wake up in the morning, and the first thing everyone does when they wake up is pee...so it is seldom an issue.
As far as the toilet seat goes, don't you think that jinx would tear my arm off and hit me with the wet end if i did that?.....I'm conditioned...trained.....I not only don't pee on the seat, I wipe the porcelain of the inevitable overspray when I'm done. Then I put the fuckin lid down, AND flush.

This may be odd...
But having read this thread I have an urge to pee...
Hmm too bad there is no shower at work...
Hmm too bad there is no shower at work...
Hmmmm.... I see a new thread coming...
Where do/have YOU pee(d) when there's nowhere to pee?
I think the celler is morphing into your grouphug sig site :)
Seeing no better option...I went for the urinal.
I'm embarrassed to do it in the sink at work...
Seeing no better option...I went for the urinal.
chicken :)
other options:
boss' coffee mug (better than visine, lj, and safer too)
sink (as you pointed out)
fire stair
behind shrubbery adorning the entry
roof
cube mate's trash can
behind conference room podium (extra credit if while you are giving an all-hands speech)
I could go on...
:eek:
By the way...does anyone else find it strangley refreshing to pee from high places?
When I was little nothing made me as happy as walking up to the 14th floor of my appartment complex, get out on the roof and pee on the court below where masses of people were walking about (there was a department store under the complex)
When I was po' (relatively) I lived in an apartment building with a common laundry area, and one night I found that this little kid in one of the units nearby had peed in the DRYER.
[SIZE=1]checked with the game commission on when little kids were in season and they had no sense of humor[/SIZE]
Just be happy he didn't pee in the washer after it was done.
An old rumor I heard circulating was that peeing in the shower helped to prevent athelete's foot.
Here's to good health!
I pee before I get in the shower. Seems a lot more convenient and sanitary. I wouldn't pee in the shower for the same reason I wouldn't pee in the kitchen sink... it's a place that ought to remain clean given it's intended use. Most showers (non-tub showers) collect dust and grime in the corners, and I'm pretty sure piss would accumulate there, too. I don't really want piss-dirt taffy developing in the corners of my shower, nor the associated smell. If it was a tub-type, I guess the accumulation wouldn't be a problem, but it still wouldn't feel right to cut loose right there... the next user of the tub would have to potentially wallow in a tepid pool of piss-water.
Maybe it has to do with my childhood.... when I was about 12, my friend asked me if I was the type to pee in the shower. I told him I wasn't. He told me that it's all OK because there's a drain RIGHT THERE, and then told me about how he and his dad would have "swordfights" in the shower, seeing who could pee longer. I was grossed out on many levels:
1) Peeing in the shower
2) ...when there's somebody in there with him.
3) That "somebody" is his DAD.
4) He was a 12-year-old boy.
Needless to say, my skin crawled off and I haven't seen it since.

Damn you Kitsune! You stole my earth-shattering revelation!! :P Yeah, I've heard that too.
I'm actually a recovering shower-pisser. I used to do it all the time, I actually
preferred it since you just felt "free" when doing it.
Now I think it's dirty. The pours in your skin are remarkably skilled at picking up odors. That's why if you spend the night in a smoky bar, even if you change your clothes and wash your hair you'll
still smell like smoke.
Or if you're
really daring, sprinkle some dehydrated milk into your bed and sleep on it. You'll smell like rotting milk for
days. (The old practical joke is line someones bed with plastic or some non-porous layer, then a light layer of dehyd'd milk, then their bottom sheet. If they don't notice it when they go to bed they will wake the next morning literally smelling like rotton milk... and it
won't wash off)
Anyhow... so if you
do happen to let the yellow river flow in the shower then you
are trapping some wonderful urea in your pours. (Of course it's arguable that it really won't matter that much since your sweat
already contains urea, even if it's in a much smaller concentration than in your urine).
Plus... I think that if anyone also uses the shower as a bathtub, then you
should not wizz in the tub. Nas-tay to think about.

Funny story, My friend was bathing her 4 year old daughter, got just out of sightline for a minute to grab a towel, returned to find Megan had not only pooped various floaty little balls, but was proceeding to carefully line them up by size on the edge of the tub. Ah, kids!

Wow, I never thought of it that way. Since my RRF (residual renal function) is gradually slowing down, there's not much to pee out in the shower anyway.
Plus, I normally go before the shower. :) Now, if you all will excuse me, I actually have to go pee..lol!

Wasn't it Richard Pryor who used to do a bit about how, when you are young, you are so virile that you can pee and hit the toilet while still lying down in bed?
Yeah, I pee in the shower. Water, drain, soap...what everyone else says. I also find that, as one gets older, even if you whiz before getting into the shower, once the warm water gets you, that familiar tingly crawly feeling creeps over you again, and you discover that your bladder wasn't quite empty after all. It would just be too damn much trouble to do otherwise.
For the record, I also expectorate the worst of the morning nasties which result from my daily morning coughing fits while in the shower. All the moist air seems to make it work better...
Anyone care to discuss hemorrhoids?

Be it poop molecule or piss vapor, the physics of the bathroom are really disturbing to me. Someone once noted that you should not be showering in the same room you use to evacuate your bowels, but I was in total shock when I heard of someone eating while on toilet. Reading? Okay. Drinking? You're pushing it. Eating? I couldn't believe it until I saw someone walk out of a stall at work with a sandwhich. Sure, he was holding it in a bag, but that just isn't right.

how does the fact that i close the lid of the toilet make me less manly? I still fart, scratch, spit and watch football. I also have 2 kids, and when they were younger, you had to get in the habit of closing the lid, or risk little fishing experiments. calling someone you don't know an idiot is risky at best.....compound that by questioning their manhood, and you'll probably get in over your head.
I'll give you a pass this time and not fire back, mainly because there is no reason for you to attack me, and I must assume this was just an attempt at humor...

I agree with you Jim. Unless you live alone with out opposite sex, kids or pets, the best solution is seat AND lid down. Safe and fair.:beer:
Seriously, though, I am superskeptical of the shit molecule threat. I want to know the likelihood of bacterial infection through these remarkable "super" shit molecules which are jumping up through the air and landing on my toothbrush and able to withstand the burst of pressure of tap water.
In recent times we have been bombarded with "information" about bacteria because it sounds really scary and makes the evening news. But studies have shown that the place in your home and office most infested with bacteria - more than on your toilet seat - is your COMPUTER KEYBOARD.
(expecting posting to go way down suddenly)
Bacteria are everywhere. They don't make you sick. Your body has an immune system that fights off these things. In fact maybe you are more healthy if your immune system gets regular practice.
Ironically, worrying about bacteria is less healthy than bacteria -- because worry causes hypertension and hypertension is in the top five of killers.
Why UT, how can you be skeptical of the extensive research that comes from Madison Avenue. :haha:

toad,
i for one am not taking any chances. the people we bought our house from had apparently been drinking shit soup for 5 years.....as the results of the water test we did indicated.....and they SEEMED healthy....needless to say, we made them install an industrial sized water purification system....
still....it's more the thought than the actual risk.

Fortunately, I don't have an office keyboard, just my personal one.
Yes, I doubt shit on the toothbrush would make one (healthy individual) ill, especially if they are used to said shit, built up a tolerance to it if you will. It's still disgusting. And yes, I agree with Pasteur's rumored dying words "The pathogen is nothing, the terrain is everything" - but if it were true that wallowing in your own crapulence makes the body stronger, I doubt so many people would have succumbed to plagues and diseases of poor hygiene over the last many thousands of years.
Bottom line, toilets are gross, and soiled water vapor expelled from them is not welcome on my toothbrush, regardless of how nasty keyboards or kitchen sponges are.

poop/brush connection.

Are you opposed to hand-washing too?
that still doesn't explain why you are willing to brush your teeth with Jim's piss vapor.
Jinx, I'm just merely pointing out that the vapor can still pass through any small opening. I'm sure that putting the toilet seat down helps, but how much in the end?
And for the record, I wash my hands regularly, particularly after handling raw food or using the restroom.

Huh? You lost me. SOP here is that the toilet seat and lid are put down and the toilet is flushed after use.
But the high pressure jet of Jim pee shooting into the toilet doesn't spread piss vapor as far as the low pressure swirling of the flush?

It helps enough to give me peace of mind. The vapor that might sneak out the side is unlikely to then blast upwards and over to the toothbrush stand. If it does - well shit, I tried. Like I said, basic hygiene here, not heroic measures.

Just as long as you aren't handling raw food in the restroom.
If people so greatly fear piss vapor when they flush a toilet at home, how in the hell do they handle a public restroom with urinals? Or, the even more dreaded
piss trough at a stadium? You're peeing into a trough, with a drain at one end, and all the steamy liquid from upstream passes by you, which you add to.
...and I don't want to even speak of the unthinkable dangers encountered with the

So - roughly a week into the poll and the shower pissers outnumber the hygeine freaks by roughly 3:1. I would really like to see more female votes, so come on ladies - stand and unite! Be heard! Down with Athletes foot!
In public toilets, I've seen a lot of evidence of people flushing toilets with their feet. Shoe marks on the walls, seats, etc. I wonder if these people, that are afraid to touch the flush handle, are planning on washing their hands after they leave the stall?
Wow, I thought the foot-flush was an exclusively female trait ... or have you been in women's bathrooms a lot, bruce?
Anytime I see a co-worker walk out of the restroom without washing their hands, I'm like, "Ewwww!"

Having been both a janitor and a plumber at various times, I've spent plenty of time in both. The one that amazes me the most is the guys that flush urinals with their foot. Those handles are at least 4 to5 feet up and half don't flush them at all, so why bother. I should point out also that they never do it when someone else (me?) is around so it's not a showoff thing. Some don't want to touch the faucet handles after washing so they leave them on.
I guess it's their personal phobia to avoid germs like I avoid pinless hand grenades, covered with poop, sitting in a rattlesnake's nest. Silly I guess.;)

Why, do you find that people often piss all over their hands?
No...it's more like this: I'm going to shake your hand with the hand that I used to wipe my ass 10 minutes ago. Oh, and I haven't washed it.
And people wonder why I don't shake hands with patients.
We even have special one-use-and-discard pens that we give to people who are either really icky, known to be infected with something we are scared of, or have come from prison. There is only one real passtime in prison, and we assume everyone takes part. Thus, disposable pens. On the rare occasions we forget to take the dispostable pen "please just drop that on the clipboard, no don't hand it to me" our own pens get liberally swabbed down with alcohol swabs or sprayed with disinfectant.
From what I understand, recently pissed on hands actually have a lower bacteria count than a hand that has touched the flush-lever, water spigot, or bathroom door. Piss is relatively clean, by bacterial/viral standards. That's your killer ... the exit door handle. And, as we know (HHGTTG), public telephones.
The OSHA approved method for handwashing, incidentally, requires that the water be left running while the hands are being dried with a clean towel. The faucet is turned off with said towel, otherwise you are recontaminating yourself. You should also retain said towel for egress from the restroom ... no knob/handle touching there either. Dispose of towel in next available trashcan.
I wash my hands nearly as many times a day as someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but I do have an excuse. My only problem is that in winter months especially, this tends to take it's toll on my hands. Nasty chilblains. I'm still in search of a good hand moisturizer that doesn't leave your hands all greasy and slippery. I'm at the point where if I can find one here, I'll have to go down to the Agway feed store for a container of Bag Balm. Of course, I don't need the "large barn" size ... mebbe they have a sample container?
I guess people always fear the most what they can't see.

Exactly -- peeing in the shower is nothing. Urine is extremely friendly to bacteria growth once outside the body, which is why washing up after using the public restrooms is a really good idea.
Speaking of clean urine ... just in case you
need some.
They really have thought of everything, including the temperature differential.

The student paper linked to seems to mainly be supported by the work of Charles Gerba. The student paper references
this story, where Gerba is quoted as saying:
Toilets have an aerosol effect that remains widely unrecognized. "Droplets are going all over the place -- it's like the Fourth of July. One way to see this is to put a dye in the toilet, flush it, and then hold a piece of paper over it. You'll get what we call a commode-o-graph. Every toilet has a characteristic ... well, that's a whole other story."
Well, I went to Wal-Mart tonight and bought a $1 bottle of red food coloring. After putting much much more than was neccessary in my toilet, I held a blank piece of printer paper directly over the toilet (about 1/2 inch above the seat). After flushing the toilet, the paper turned out to be completely blank.
So, it did not work for me.
(edit:
I forgot to mention -- I stirred the toilet water up with an unused drinking straw, so as to mix and distribute the red dye evenly)
Let's hear it for empiricism!!
I discovered an error in your lab procedures, Juju. You would have gotten positive results if you'd used the correct media.
Since you used food coloring, you should have held a cake with white buttercream frosting over the toilet. Food color sticks to frosting really well ...
Maybe it's a microbiological thing.

Maybe it is the type of toilet. With the low-flows and all that non-sense today, maybe there isn't enough water flow for piss mist to happen. We should attempt the same experiment with a gas station public toilet. You know the kind: no tank, rocket engine thrust, will eat entire oranges with no clogging, etc.
Yeah, I thought about that. I have a "low flow" toilet, so perhaps that is why it didn't work?
The guy definitely seems to be for real. His homepage is
here, and it lists the insane amount of scientific articles he's published. The article in question seems to be:<blockquote>Gerba, C.P., C. Wallis, and J.L. Melnick. 1975. Microbial hazards of household toilets. Droplet production and the fate of residual organisms. Appl. Microbiol. 30:229-237.</blockquote>But unfortunately, my university library account only allows me to access articles from 1998 to present (via the internet, that is).
I guess I could try it with a gas station toilet, but I'd feel kind of silly sneaking in there with a piece of paper and a bottle of food coloring. What would I say if I were caught? "Just an incognito FBI operation on your toilet, ma'am. Nothing to worry about."
Put the items in your coat pocket on the way in. Throw the stuff away in the bathroom trash can.
Yes, yes, of course.
I'm sure as hell not braving the freezing cold for it, though. If I decide to, it will be at a more opportune moment. :)
While living in the dorm, we had one of those gas station-style toilets go completely insane on us. Someone flushed it, the valve broke, and we found ourselves with an ever-flushing toilet.
At first, we were a bit frightened -- it isn't every day that you come across something of this nature -- but after a coming to the conclusion that the campus repair guy wouldn't be around for awhile, we decided that a constantly flushing toilet might be a good thing to have around.
It is not. All the positives of a never-ending water stream are nulled by the fact that while sitting on it you are sprayed with, yes, a fine mist. My roommate was the first to try it and return with the bad news: yes, everything is swept away without any need to push a button, "but you're going to walk away with a drippy ass".
I would think it would make cleaning your ass easier...it would be like a bidet.

Heh. Great minds think alike!
But, alas, someone got intelligent and closed the water inlet with a screwdriver. On finding that little trick out, however, we found it funny to shut off all the toilets but leave the urinals running in the other halls. There is no greater sense of dread than to hit the flush lever and hear silence.
I dyed my cat red with food coloring last month - she looked really cool!
In a word.
Yes.
In many words:
Yes, but only on white cats because the color isn't very strong and doesn't dye hair. Cats will eventualy lick it out. Some cats may be allergic to some of the specific food coloring though..
You could always try Kool-Aid.
Kool Aid is BAD for cats cause it has the flavouring and the smell to it.
Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell and the Kool-Aid will probably really stink to them.
If you really want to piss off a cat, spray some perfume in it's front 'arm pits'...they can't lick it off there and it'll stink and REALLY piss them off...

I am sure Kool-Aid is bad for cats. But I know it dyes human hair pretty well. /shrug.
Another good way to piss off a cat is to roll up a little piece of scotch tape and put it on the bottom of the cat's paws. Sounds evil, I know. But usually they get it off pretty quickly.

When I was little I would attach those little bells that are meant to go on their collars to their tails.
Then I'd scare them to make them run...which would cause the bell to ring and them to think that something was chasing them...
When you pair that with the sticky tape and slipery hardwood floors...it's quite a sight...
Oh and if you REALLY want to see something bizzare...give your cat valerian root extract.
I don't mean the root itself, I mean the extract in liquid form.
It's like extacy for cats...they'll do some really odd stuff after that.
We use to have a cat that could sniff out catnip, no matter where we hid it. One day he had found the bag of catnip in the highest kitchen cabinet. When we got home, the entire kitchen floor was covered in catnip and he was lying in the middle of the floor on his back, making weird REEOOWWRR sounds. It looked like he had O.D.ed on it.
Well the thing is catnip in the normal form is a herb and it needs to be digested to be absorbed...in other words slow as hell.
The extract does not need to be digested, it's almost instantly thrown into the blood stream.
Here is the difference. A slow gradual dose of valerian root will make you calm, relaxed, and somewhat sleepy. A sudden dose on the other hand will make the cat appear to be 'high', they'll run about in circles, attempt to walk on twos, do back flips, try to stand on their front paws, bounce off walls, attack invisible objects.
I'm really not sure if there are any harmfull effects from it. I gave v. extract to stray cats in Russia because my grand parents had a ton of it and Russia had a ton of stray cats. It was fun to see the cats do insane things...and they seemed to like it cause they came back for more....
Oh and a study of the effect of valerian exteact on animals/people:
http://www.mcp.edu/herbal/valerian/valerian.pdfyeah - she has white parts and thats what turned red - she left red spots n everything for weeks. I am going to try the valerian thing.
My dad used to have a three-footed cat. It had four legs, but only three feet. He called it his "three foot pussy with claws".
I also used to love throwing little rocks at it. It was so much fun to watch it run away.
not that *I* endorse this, but I know someone who did it in a fit of anger...
Cut off it's whiskers.
I am now in the doghouse with Dagney. <waves>
Brian
Ugh, why would you do that?? Don't they have nerves in their whiskers? And the whiskers never grow back?
Whoops. After careful reading, I see that YOU did not actually do it. :)
The whiskers do grow back. My cat's did, at least.
I don't know what happened, but I came home one day and his whiskers were just little nubs. He was clumsy until they grew back, but now they're as long as they should be.
I can't rule out the possibility that he's a regenerating mutant, though. I guess I'll know for sure about a month after I've gotten him fixed.
Hey, Juju ... maybe if you repeat your experiment with a white cat instead of white paper ...
Might be difficult to determine which is dye and which is your blood all over the cat's fur. You might want to spend $1 on a different color.
I would like to submit that the best way to piss off a cat is to piss ON the cat.
meanwhile, I'm calling peta on all of you. :D

My cats have singed their wiskers off with candles before, they grow back.
My brother use to have what must have been the dumbest cat on earth. He (the cat) hopped up onto a coffee table once, which had a burning candle sitting on it. as he walked by, he brushed his copiously-hairy ass against the flame. As one might expect, it caught on fire. He stopped, looked at his ass, looked at my brother and very meekly meowed. My brother bolted across the room, grabbed the cat and started slapping the fire out. The sight of him spanking this cat to put the fire out has to be one of the funniest things I ever witnessed.
Our current cat is adorable, but completely boring.

Come on now - does it hurt when you get a haircut? Or shave? Does it grow back? Whiskers are hair fool. You seem to be a reasonable intelligent guy, but comments like that are scary!
Whiskers are
more than just hair.
ok, I guess I was wrong - sorry juju. I just thought that since my cat loses the occasional whole whisker, and a lot of partial ones amd she seems none the worse for wear...

My cats do the same thing...I used to collect them. Some were damn long...but I lost them.
Bah, perth beat me to the
post.
To justify my own post, I'll cleverly tie it all back to the original thread:
Does your cat pee in the shower?
I can't really find anything that clearly says whether the nerves extend into the whiskers or whether they cluster at the base (I suspect the latter), but either way, it wouldn't be very nice to cut them off.
they are just hairs - just thicker and set deeper!
For the lazy or over-informed, here's the most relevant text from my link:
One of the most important rules to remember about your cat's whiskers is that they are crucial to her sensory abilities and should never be cut off or pulled out of her. To pull out a cat's whiskers would be hurting her on the most sensitive part of her body – just imagine someone punching you hard in the nose and you'll realise how much it would hurt your kitty. It would also be dangerous to a human, as no cat would let someone do this without defending herself. Cutting off a cat's whiskers is paramount to taking away their independence; not only will they not be able to sense in the dark but they will not be able to sense predators and will become scared of leaving the house.

I have no joke here, I just like saying "spanking the cat." A lot.
On a related topic (sort of), I just finally voted on the poll and realized just how scary the tally looks as far as people who pee in the shower.
AHA! Juanita is an inside cat :)
But to get back to the topic - she drinks from the shower that I pee in. Then she licks me. Ahhh - the circle of life. (she also licks her butt though - which is worse - cat butt or human shower pee?)

Eh, no worries! It all ends up in the same place. :eek:
One of my cats refuses to drink water from a pet dish.
She will ONLY drink water from a large bowl standing on the kitchen counter...
yeah - my cat will knock over any water containing thing I try. I had to get her a huge dog dish, but she scoops the water from that onto the floor, so she now has to scavenge in the shower.
cats dont like to drink out of plastic or metal...try a coffee mug
I also tried -
Pyrex bowls of assorted sizes,
every cup I own,
plates,
etc...
The shower is easy and she does fine with it
do you put it near the food? our cats would ignore the water if it was near the food.....we had to put it in another room.
oh, btw
my coworker mike pees in the shower( he's reading over my shoulder). he's a big believer in the anti fungal properties of urine. freak!
not only does he pee in the shower, he did it once while his wife was in there with him.
ICK!
Does anyone let their cat pee in the shower?
funny you should ask.......i used to keep the cat box in an unused 1st flr shower at my old house........does that count?

Yep. Like I said. Silly. But what the heck, I like it.
It's been bothering me, because this thread reminded me of something. Now I remember:
While having the duchess to tea
She said, "Do you burp when you pee?"
I said, "Not a bit.
Do you fart when you shit?"
Which I'd say left the honors to me.
The longer you live, the more your head resembles Bruce's house full of doodads. There's a whole closet full of limericks in mine.

Well, I wouldn't know if they were peeing in my shower, so I suppose I wouldn't "mind".
Also, do most people here secretly check out the medicine cabinet in the bathroom when at someone's house?
OH damn, I admit, I've done that before, mostly at a relative's house when I was younger (being a nosy ass!). How about that commercial with the girl in the bathroom and she looks into the cabinet and the shelves fall down with a loud CRASH...LMAO classic! :haha:
Do you look at the inside of a glass before pouring a beverage into it?
Very rarely do I use a glass, and when I do, I usually rinse it out first.

Avoid at all costs, but no. The girl locker room rules are different.
Hotel Showers?
Not usually.
Actually to clarify, my morning bathroom behavior is such that it is generally not necessary to pee in the shower, as such needs have been attended to first thing, as I generally can't wait until the water is warm enough.
What if a guest at your house peed in your shower, would you mind?
What I don't see happen, hasn't happened. I don't stress over it.
Also, do most people here secretly check out the medicine cabinet in the bathroom when at someone's house?
Nope. Only reason to do that is to find the medications to send with the ambulance after calling 911. Visits to friend's homes don't usually result in trips to the hospital by ambulance.
Do you look at the inside of a glass before pouring a beverage into it?
Yes. And, although you didn't ask, washing the coffee mug at work consists of swishing it out with lukewarm water about once a week (or after use of sugar/cream/hot cocoa mix). I have a black mug (Glock logo) for a reason. The white interior mugs LOOK dirty. I figure I'm going to be pouring an extremely hot beverage into it anyway, which will kill most of what's growing in there. No, I don't need to take sick days.
Who here follows the 5 second rule?
At home, yeah.
At the nuthouse. 1/4 MICROSECOND is too long. It hits the floor, it's trash, no matter how good it is.

So he pulled down their britches
And diddled those bitches
With a twelve-inch Episcopal tool

And longer and stronger than you

Perpetrators, I would imagine, would relish the submissive element. Or its hidden cleaning properties. Has anyone drank their own pee? Is there actually anything wrong with it? I personally think it comes out for a reason but I have a friend who insists on drinking it claiming it tastes 'just like water'.
I think I'll go gargle, now.:vomit:
We actually had a discussion about pee at work (this is not unusual as a work discussion, as two of my coworkers had just assisted in a takedown on the unit in which they had to avoid a river of pee left in the hallway by the NEXT patient they had to takedown, and therefore had to be VERY careful about not slipping in said river and landing ass down in it.)
Biologically speaking, urine is one of the cleanest released fluids.
It's still nasty to end up sitting in, particularly if it isn't yours.
Someone sent me this, and I thought it was appropriate:
The Top 10 Reasons That Its Better To Pee In The Shower Than
In The Toilet
10) In the shower, you can't kill the Tidy Bowl man.
9) Turns getting rid of shower mold into a fun-filled game.
8) It allows nothing and I mean NOTHING to interrupt you
during the catchy singing of MMMBOP.
7) Allows you to practice your speech on Trickle Down
Economics without interruption.
6) Helps you avoid telling co-workers the embarrasing story
of how you broke your leg getting out of the shower tub
to do #1.
5) For all the married people out there, getting out of the
shower to go might just ruin the mood.
4) For all the single people out there, getting out of the
shower might just ruin the solo mood.
3) You don't need toilet paper..just your roommate's towel.
2) If George on "Seinfeld" did it, then its good enough for
me.
1) Helps you avoid that painful sprain associated with over-
flushing.

Maybe it has to do with my childhood.... when I was about 12, my friend asked me if I was the type to pee in the shower. I told him I wasn't. He told me that it's all OK because there's a drain RIGHT THERE, and then told me about how he and his dad would have "swordfights" in the shower, seeing who could pee longer. I was grossed out on many levels:
1) Peeing in the shower
2) ...when there's somebody in there with him.
3) That "somebody" is his DAD.
4) He was a 12-year-old boy.
Needless to say, my skin crawled off and I haven't seen it since.
Damn! I actually laughed out loud at that one! Thanks!

That would be Twinkie Bad....
I'm surprised TS hasn't brought this up yet, but there's a guy he was listening to on the radio, or maybe he works at the Kumbaya wacko company down the street....anyway, he advocates drinking one's own piss...he calls it urine therapy.
Ya know, I figure if my body's getting rid of it, there's a reason. Drinking urine is friggin' disGUSTing.
This thread is turning out funnier than I thought it was going to be...I just started reading through the posts....I needed these laughs...thanks :D

Biologically speaking, urine is one of the cleaner fluids out there.
That being said, I still double glove when I have to carry cups of urine around.
Oh, and important desert survival tip: don't DRINK your urine because the salts can further dehydrate you, but it is recommended to gargle with your own urine as well as using it to moisten various dry bits.
I hope you people are happy. After a long time off I decided over the long weekend to start trying to exercise again. So after I was done working out at the YMCA I went to the showers and... could think of nothing except this thread.
Thanks a bunch.
thanks for reminding us as well, misery loves company eh?
Yeah, something like that! :cool:
I pee in the shower.. i do it all the time. it saves me about a minute or 2 in the morning... i also brush my teeth in the shower
I just read somewhere recently that peeing on your feet in the shower has potential for curing smelly feet. Don't know if it works; maybe someone out there should try it!

At the same time? I do both but not at the same time..

Urine kills fungus. If it's athlete's foot or some other fungal variation causing the smell, then yes it will help.
But you have to ask yourself if having your feet smell like piss is really an improvement.

i dont do both at the same time usually.

Hmm, but if you are a peeintheshowerer, then wouldnt the pee only be there for a sec and then wash off with the other soapy products. Hence not have pee smelling feet? Hence also not sticking to the feet and not having time to kill any bacteria.
Unless you wait till you turn off the water and then pee on your feet. in which case, thats disgusting!! :*
I pee in the shower; my feet do not smell of piss. Although I am a small sample statistically, I think it says much for the hypothesis you have put forth.
Could it be due to your paganness?
I think it relates more so to his male-ness.
Cleanliness is next to Paganness.
I'll bet George Bush pees in the shower.
Cheney gets the secret service detail to help him.
I'll bet George Bush pees in the shower.
I'll bet George Bush pees in the bed. :)
When I was po' (relatively) I lived in an apartment building with a common laundry area, and one night I found that this little kid in one of the units nearby had peed in the DRYER.
I don't pee in the shower. Like someone said, it's easy to wake up, pee, then take a shower.
In college, I saw a completely naked (and presumably drunk) girl peeing in a washer. I guess, that's the difference: girls have to use the washer to sit down and guys have to use the dryer as some sort of a bizarro urinal. Anyway, moral of the story, never go to a laundromat.
We had drunk assholes pee in the ice machine in college. Fucking immature college kids.
Now this I have never done.
In a normal healthy person, pee is sterile, so there's nothing unclean about peeing in the shower. It's also a good disinfectant: if you find yourself having to shower at a campsite or other public shower, you can reduce your chances of catching footrot by peeing on your feet.
I pee in the shower if I need to. It saves on flush water, which is a good thing here where we have been in drought for 3 years and are under water restrictions.
Of course I do. The above statement is agreeable and also the drains all go to the same place!
I was told the above (about the sterile nature) by a kidney doctor when I had surgery. I had a bypass tube in my back for nearly two months. Walked around with a nice handbag that contained the waste for that kidney. I was worried about the bag building up infectious waste and the doc told me that as long as I didn't let anything back up the drain that it was fine.
As for peeing in the shower, I always have. Ofcourse thanks to the kidney problem I have developed strange blood pressure and am on a small pharmacy when I actually take them all. The water shed pills I take make it hard to even hear water running without nearly wetting my pants so when I start the shower even for my wife right after useing the toilet I still end up peeing in the shower. otherwise I wet me.
Ofcourse this doesnt go into the concept of showering with others and what happenes then. The look on a persons face when you pee on their feet,,,, just kidding.
hahaha nice! You got me looking like "wtf????" for a second there.
So having read all 17 pages of this, I will ressurect it to point out that Romans used urine from the public latrines in their laundries. So all you pee-ers could branch out and really make the most of your time in there and get you undies clean too. In fact why not just keep 'em on as you pee and shower?
p.s. don't tell the gubberment and give them any ideas, but urine had so many uses in Roman times that they actually taxed it.

Oh yeah, by all means let' do everything the Romans did! ;)

I read a lot about the Romans. I'm re-reading a ficticious -but well researched- (and also humourous) series based in everyday Ancient Rome and it's scary how many parallels I can draw (using my outsiders perception) with everyday modern American life and politics. I expect a urine tax any minute.... oh wait, I think someone's taking the piss already..... :p
If you suffer from Cracked Heels, then peeing in the shower is a form of healing (home) therapy! Urea, which is a component of urine, is used in Cracked Heel Creams. Popular forms/names of this are Ureacin & Urethin.
Sorry if someone else already stated this. I don't have time to read all 11 pages.
I don't pee in the shower. But I have peed as the bathwater is emptying before. It's strangely satisfying.
Yes. Yes, I do. Weird question, but yes, I pee in the shower. I then use my shower head to force it down the drain.

Right on Bro, piss on the crackers.
