Everyone pees! It's a natural bodily function.

because we're [headquarters of WP in amuuuurica] amuuuuricans and we are notoriously puritanical. hell, we can't even say "v@g!n@" on amuuurican tv/radio, we have to say "va-JJ" instead to avoid bleeps. we're the country that flipped its collective lid when janet jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" occurred in the middle of our quasi-religious ceremony called "the super bowl." [think of the children! :roll: ] we try to pretend bodily functions are just make-believe stuff the left likes to talk about. writer Mason Williams had us amuuuricans pegged when he wrote "The Censor" -

The Censor sits
Somewhere between
The scenes to be seen
And the television sets
With his scissor purpose poised
Watching the human stuff
That will sizzle through
The magic wires
And light up
Like welding shops
The ho-hum rooms of America
And with a kindergarten
Arts and crafts concept
Of moral responsibility
Snips out
The rough talk
The unpopular opinion
Or anything with teeth
And renders
A pattern of ideas
Full of holes
A doily
For your mind


Mason Williams, the guy who did Classical Gas?

yes, he was a multi-talented fella, renaissance man in fact. he was steve martin's boss and paid him his first salary out of his own pocket, gave him his first break.

Doesn't the water in the shower go the same place where the water in the toilet does? I don't think it matters as long as you make sure you're not leaving piss everywhere. lol

George Costanza (from the "Seinfeld" TV show) peed in a shower, got caught and reported and was banned from the gym. The practice grosses other people out, not so much the idea of their own pee, but the idea of someone else's. Disease, germs come to mind, people think they will get sick or get an STD, they worry about the smell too.

NOT O.K. if you are a guest or roommate in someone's home. Their stuff, their rules. Bottom line, you have to be considerate of others.

Being concerned about germs from peeing in the shower seems kind of pointless to me because, when I'm on my period, I bleed in the shower and wash menstrual blood off in the shower. I've done it in the public gym shower. There'd be no way to avoid it aside from staying home from the gym for one week a month. There are probably people with diseases using public facilities.

The thing about menstrual blood is actually a good point. Blood is also probably more hospitable to bacteria than urine...

Do people who worry about peeing in the shower realize they're washing bacteria and dead skin off of their bodies? Especially when they clean their genital area, it's just going to have the same type of bacteria there that urine does.

No one's been brave enough to hold forth the contrary view since OP and one or two early responders. The proud pee-ers now constitute an intimidating majority. I might flip just to make things fairer... considering it... :?:

If it does no harm, then why not pee in the shower? The hot water certainly does induce a desire to pee.

i was in an RV that had a combined toilet and shower [all in one stall], seemed a natural combo to me.

I don’t think I’d like to be in a shower which serves as a full toilet.

But I guess I’d have to get used to it should I get an R.V.

I seriously never peed in the shower until George Costanza suggested it might be OK. I don't remember hearing it discussed before he discussed it. I'm sure that says something about me. Blinding following the rules even when they are not explicitly stated? Any other ideas? Following the rules seems like the likely Aspie explanation :roll:.

Another bathroom practice I've observed really bugs me. People will flush a public toilet before using it regardless of how clean it is. What the hell! Anyone have a clue what strange ideas cause this? In a kind of reverse xenophobia, I wonder if this is a NYC area thing. Like they want to make sure one of those mythical alligators isn't in there ready to bite them :lol:.

more like rats. the comedian dan aykroyd told a story of being in some dive of a club, when he sat down to do his constitutional, he found a rat in there with his jaws just inches from his stuff, he ran outta there pulling his pants up on the way, screaming. so that could be why people bonus-flush.

Costanza was the only one making good debate points throughout the whole episode but he was just the butt of the joke. I laughed along but deep inside I'm thinking, you know, he's right! :nerdy:

Also, anyone find a dual purpose in the bathroom sink? :twisted: All I can say is my water bill is really low, and I do more for the environment than anyone driving around in their fancy battery car.

Well I plead guilty. :mrgreen: It is fear of splatter with the already existing pool or dark yellow urine sitting in the urinal. You see a lot of people in the public restrooms do not bother with flushing. I just don't want to get their stuff on my clothes. My stuff on the other hand, that is all right I signed up for that.
