to pee in a sink?

[weelady]

Namechanged as a bit

Yesterday, I was out shopping with 8 week old DS at retail park type place. I used the public baby change room to feed him as he was suddenly very hungry - like they do, from asleep to starving with no warning - and it was closer than starbucks!

Now, my pelvic floor is still not what it was (will it ever be?) and I was really hoping there would be a loo in the baby room - there was not. I had a buggy full of shopping, baby in sling and was on my own. He has reflux and needs to kept upright after feeds, hence carrying baby and wheeling shopping.

He fed for ages and I was getting more and more desperate, so when he finished I peed in the handwashing sink

Is this really gross, or reasonable. It's not something I've ever considered before. I couldn't be arsed juggling all the shoppping / baby / sling etc into the loo's . . .

Just so you know - I did give it a good rinse with the handwash and wiped (the sink) with paper towels.

So was IBU?

Oh its fine to pee in a sink. Pee is amonia after all. Its not like you shat in it.

drunk people vomit in sinks.. much much worse than pee IMO

(I reckon only parents hold that opinion though...)

Yep, pee in a sink,who freaking cares...
Just wash your hands after!

I've done the exact same thing myself! YANBU!

Oh FFS OP, unless you have some sort of raging communicable disease, pissing in a sink and then running the tap is not remotely unhygenic or dangerous to others. Fresh piss is sterile enough to be advocated by the more robust as an emergency antiseptic, let alone the numbers of folk who allegedly drink their own for health benefits.
If you'd shat in the sink it might have been more of a cause for complaint.

SGB, I think I love you.

This reminds me of an anecdote I read in a women's magazine once. A woman went to meet her boyfriend's parents for the first time, and was to stay over the night due to it being so far away, though in separate rooms because they were so old fashioned.

They had an old house that had a sink in the bedroom. She was in "her" room before dinner freshening up and she needed the loo, but couldn't get her head round trying to remember where it was so decided to do a sneaky one in the sink in the bedroom.

In the process of doing this, she dislodged the sink from the wall entirely and fell backwards and knocked herself out.

Boyfriend's parents went to investigate and found her and sink on floor, her with undies round ankles and unable at first to even explain the situation!!!

IMAGINE!!!

Montifer - so will an XL sweatshirt. I dicovered that when stuck in snow on the M25.

I washed it and never told him. He still wears it.

Thanks everyone. No I didn't crap in the sink so I'm happy that's a unanimous NBU :)
Have heard of a shewee too! Maybe I should get one for the nappy bag, although if it gets emptied down the sink there's not much point really, is there?

Be wary of using a nappy - bladder sizes or nappies capacities vary considerably!...[blush}

Shewee might stop you having to explain how you broke the sink!

Haha - I have also used nappy in similar circumstances! Didn't occur to me to use sink.

i had to do it once was in a large city on my way for a neuchal fold scan,first pregnancy so first ever scan so took the full bladder needed to the extreme,15 mins away i knew i would wet myself so bombed into a very posh store saw they had a mother and baby area locked the door and well you know,i cleaned the sink thoroughly and devastated walked to my scan.....the lovely lady at the scan then informed my bladder was still too full so i needed to go again!!
