Dirty habit?

Gabriella
I've never been in a toilet on board an aeroplane.
I would have to on long haul, not short haul, that's why I carry a pack of anti-bacterial wet wipes with me!

I wouldn't do it in a swimming pool - no - but I guess some babies, children (and adults) might (thankfully there is chlorine). I see no problem with having a wee whilst showering if you get caught short (all that running water). I have had a wee in the sea once whilst in Minorca - but then, other creatures do so in the sea anyway - lol.

Urine was also used for tanning leather Baggs
In fact, I think they taxed it

And why are we even talking about this??

Sparklefizz my husband showers like that when we stay in our caravan. I always thought it funny. So he's not alone!

it's drinkable.
The advice now, if caught in the wilds with no water, is not to drink it - it contains too many minerals and could damage your kidneys.

I was walking through the cleaning product aisle this morning and thinking about this - we're happy for all these chemicals, palm oil etc etc to go down the drains but are worried about a drop of urine going down which is probably much less harmful to the environment.

I thought thats what Monica said Sparklefizz. Is my brain not working today???

Not all of us were trained by mum running a tap.
How about this;
As children we are potty trained we can hear ourselves wee (running water).
Mum and us are waiting for that magic sound of wee (running water).
Hence now as adults running water triggers weeing.

I'm with you Willow10...as soon as hot water hits the bum, I wee. Better than weeing in the bath.

Oh no! yuk. I hope the men in our house don't do this and I won't ask now. Use the toilet before getting in the shower.

annep Not in most houses or surely you'd get the smell of sewage coming up from the kitchen sink?

So the water from the sink in the kitchen goes out by the same pipe as the shower and the toilet??

I'm sure that many of us us have done this, I certainly have from time to time. We're still here to tell the tale so it hasn't done us any harm. I really wouldn't worry about it too much.

It is a different waste system and it’s a horrible thing to do/ deliberately anyway...

Well here all waste water ends in the same sewer, so I can't see it makes any difference.

I once had a cat that used the floor drain too for a wee. It saved a lot of cat litter.

OMG, I will never sleep again.

GG, you can drink yours if you like but I’d have to be at death’s door to drink mine. ?

Thanks to you all for your comments. I’ve forgiven him now!

yellowmellow your not reading the posts a lot of people do have a piddle before the shower then the trickling water makes them do more ...others like me think it’s perfectly reasonable to do both, shower and wee at the same time my shower head is over my bath so I am literally standing over the plug hole any wee I pass is down the pipe before you could even count one

I'm with you Gonegirl. Why not use the loo before you get in the shower! I'm sure the men in my house have done it....I'd rather not know.

Sorry not sure how I typed aurfee...no idea what that is but I am a surfer.

Really! What is the problem. Just to really shock the prudes: not only do I have a wee in the shower sometimes, as a aurfee I also sometimes wee in my wetsuit...it was actually recommended to me by other surfers as a way to keep yourself warm!!!

The Romans used to use urine (stale urine too) for laundry because of its ammonia content. Check this out.

Urine is only sterile for a very short time until the air gets to it. Probably one would have to apply the 10-second rule before drinking, the same as dropping food on the floor before picking up and eating it. I won't be one of the drinkers, anyway !

I have been a culprit and disliked what I did so now use the loo, if feeling the need, before I get in the shower. When potty training my two little ones attempting to get them out of nappies I was advised by my gran to turn on a tap This was supposed to give them the urge? Daft as it sounds but may be there is an in built mechanism that when we humans see running water it too gives us the urge.?
