It's good enough for the water companies

xyz111 · 10/08/2024 18:05

Yes to the sea, no in a pool 🤣

Munchyseeds2 · 10/08/2024 18:07

Fine as long as its only wee.

hockityponktas · 10/08/2024 18:08

Yes. Never in a pool though

TheGriffle · 10/08/2024 18:10

Yes if it’s just a wee. There’s worse things in the sea after all. Never in a pool though!

UpUpUpU · 10/08/2024 18:10

Yes

Bloody disgusting.
Unless you're two and don't know any better, there is no excuse. Adults doing this is plain lazy and inconsiderate behaviour.

Missmarymack2 · 10/08/2024 18:10

Of course in the sea. It’s so voluminous it disintegrates to nothing immediately. A pool, no way.

Bohomovies · 10/08/2024 18:10

Of course! And a poo if I’m desperate.

If you're talking about the woman from the TV whose name is currently escaping me, who lifted her dress up to do a wee in the sea then fell over whilst she was being filmed, then no I think she should have had more self respect.

With a basic understanding of science it actually isn’t disgusting. At all.

Haha, do you think all the fish are crossing their legs?

Musicaltheatremum · 10/08/2024 18:13

I have walked miles to beaches before...no alternative but to use the sea. Urine is sterile most of the time and the ocean is quite large.

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 10/08/2024 18:13

Surely a poo is pushing it too far though?!? That's going to float up next to some poor swimmer 😱

Come on, there’s worse things.

Eeepsh · 10/08/2024 18:15

Definitely not pools (or poos!)

I hope you pick it up and bag it, that's revolting.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 10/08/2024 18:18

I think literally every other life form that uses the sea wees in it 💁

It can only be pushed as far as the exit. After that it’s free swimming.

Yep, south west water do this and years ago the sea was full of mining waste.

I don't wee in the sea unless I can absolutely help it though. It would be gross if everyone just did it out of laziness.

InformEducateEntertain · 10/08/2024 18:26

The sea is two thirds of the planet. One human wee (or even 10000) is not going to matter.

Of course. A little wee is literally a drop in the ocean.

Out of interest, do you also believe in homeopathy?

FeralNun · 10/08/2024 18:31

It is, of course, absolutely fine to do this.

Literally nothing bad will happen as a result.

Swimming in the sea itself though, given how the water companies continually pump it full of literal shit, is another matter..😢
