Dirty habit?

Lots of people advocate drinking your own urine! So weeing in the shower is nothing compared to that. Also urine is sterile, unless you have an infection, still wouldn’t drink it though.

Sparklefizz, the naval way would waste more water with our shower. If you turn it off, even for a few seconds, it starts from cold again.

It wouldn't bother me either to be honest. I understand that urine has a lot of useful properties. I was watching the WW1 programmes at the weekend and someone said they used to wee in their marching boots to soften them up a bit. I used to work with an old chap who told me that if you have warts you should put urine on them. I was grossed out at the time but as I've aged, I've heard more and more people talk about the usefulness of urine in certain situations?

Talking about toilet use and poop, DH and I are in the midst of an argument right now because we live in a small bungalow where the bathroom is only a few feet away from the lounge. We always said that if any callers come to the door without an appointment we would tell them to make an appointment and turn them away, unless of course it was convenient. Well yesterday, I was using the facilities. DH knew this because I was having problems ( #2 problems) and I asked him if he wanted to go because I didn't know how long I was going to be. Well while I was in there someone came to the door, electoral register person? Wanted us to spare a few minutes to answer a few questions and he let them in! I was so damn annoyed that after she had gone I shouted at him and said "why the bloody hell did you let her in" and he just doesn't get it! Thinks I am over reacting because I said he should have told her it was inconvenient. Were not talking now because he wants me to apologise for shouting at him and I'm not going to! Sorry for the thread crap, if you'll pardon the pun!

I d love someone who po facedly describes it as unhygienic or disgusting to explain why and what is disgusting about plain old urine that goes nowhere but down the drain hole

Typo - in which university students were asked not to pee when they first got up, but to pee in the shower

I read about an experiment, some years ago (presumably first thing in the morning). The result was considerably reduced water usage in the halls of residence.

I think it is normal. What the hell is so disgusting about it? I live on a narrowboat. I have a cassette under my toilet that collects all the body waste...hahaha. I have to empty it every week at an Elsan point. Grey water goes into the river from washing machine sinks etc. I use eco products. This is normal for boats.

Ive never even thought about that,but in swimming pools I am sure its done often, maybe not by adults but certainly by children.

I don’t do it but really can’t see the problem. I’ve never felt the urge but if I did, wouldn’t hesitate! Sod getting out to drip water everywhere just to pee.

FGS...it's drinkable.

I've never been in a toilet on board an aeroplane. I have an aversion to public toilets on planes, trains, coaches etc. I can 'not go' for hours, all day if necessary.

Moi? Po-faced. Lol...never. Mine is a double shower, plenty of room and soundproof too.

Urine is probably cleaner than the water coming out of the shower anyways lol.

Most people do it! Its washed clean away, and really warms you up if you have a cold shower like mine! lol (tmi I am guessing!) x

I bet it's on FB, Twitter, all round the world

Anybody noticed this is now in "Discussions of the day. We know now what HQ think of it.

Can't see it's a problem! Men peeing in corners of alleys, by the road, etc. is worse!

Have you never been in hospital, asked to give a water sample and been put in a room with running water? The sound of running water is known to promote urination - it’s perfectly natural to wee in the shower - people do it when they hear the water so it’s at the start of the process and obviously gets washed away with all the other bodily exertions like sweat!

!

I'm not "shocked"! (just slightly throwing up)

Ha! I didn’t mean he pooed in the shower!! Just played with himself!! I think many do from what I’ve heard!! ??

It is definitely a disgusting thing to do. But it is a bit over the top to be 'shocked', surely? People do far, far worse things in this world.

GabriellaG we'll be getting on to the Mile High Club in a minute …..


and, before anyone asks, no to that and no to the shower

MissA

Gabriella, I always thought of you as rather po faced. I revise my opinion.

Yuck. It’s not something I’d do and neither does the DH. It sounds most unhygienic ?

I have a bit more class.
Wee on a bath sponge and wring it out in the sink..
Before anyone gets too incensed ITS A JOKE!
