To think it's grim and lazy to piss in the shower

Inspired by another thread but not a TAAT.

I'm surprised how many people think it's OK and actually do it themselves.

Just continuing that post of mine ...

So as posters on this thread have shown, there are women who pee in the shower for reasons of pregnancy issues, post-pregnancy issues, post-operative problems, ill-health, age, disability - I think associating the word 'revolting' with them is itself actually revolting.

UmbongoUnchained · 07/06/2016 18:29

It's not revolting to voice an opinion.

For those of you who say it's fine, does that extend to gym showers where next door's piss runs into your cubicles around your feet? Just askin...

Flatbellyfella · 07/06/2016 18:32

It all ends up in the sewer, so no problem.

flappingbingowings · 07/06/2016 18:32

Peeing in the shower is fine I think. However I no longer take a number 2 in the shower after what happened last time [shudder]

3amClub · 07/06/2016 18:33

hormonal if there was no one else in I would but I wouldn't want to pee on someone else's feet, nor would I want their pee on mine.

I'm sure there was some radio adverts encouraging people to pee in the shower to save water?

3amClub · 07/06/2016 18:34

Ah it wasn't here but still,

An old friend of mine once pee'd in the trolley bay at Asda (oh no, not next to the trolleys, ON the trolleys) so I think peeing in your own shower isn't really worth getting excited about Hmm

johnwinstonlennon · 07/06/2016 19:00

how can you NOT pee in the shower? the very sound of it makes it impossible not to feel the need. if that's not the case with you and you get out to sit on the toilet then well, I just don't get how can you waste water. it sounds very irresponsible to me.
regarding the yuck factor, there shouldn't be one: pee is not some poisonous toxic waste, it mixes with the water from the shower and then it goes down the drain.
so, I think that if you find peeing the shower yucky there is something other than pee that you should be addressing

I'm always a bit concerned that I weigh heavily on the slattern side of these MN debates on Acceptable Standards of Cleanliness.

I only change towels and bedding once a week. I pee in the shower. I only change my PJs once a week. I wear pants in bed. All of these things are time-saving devices, which are carefully calibrated to maximise the amount of leisure time I have for gin and cake.

I'll just be over here. In the stinky and lazy corner, with my Bombay Sapphire and a packet of Mr Kipling.

Yes I have had the odd wee in the shower.

LifeInJeneral · 07/06/2016 19:14

PaulDacre, may me and my slightly ripe pyjamas join you?

PaulDacreCuntyMcCuntFace · 07/06/2016 19:15

Yep. Haven't tried Kendricks for a rather silly reason. When ploughing through the 50SOG saga to see what all the fuss was about, there's a bit where Christian the Cunt is making a fuss about having a G&T - and specifies that if the gin is Kendricks then it needs to be garnished with cucumber. I hated the books so the thought of having the same drink makes me feel irrationally stabby.

PaulDacreCuntyMcCuntFace · 07/06/2016 19:16

Make yourself comfy Life - Mitchum deodorant claims to be good for 48 hours y'know? They don't call it shower-in-a-can for nothing Grin

finnmcool · 07/06/2016 19:21

I had to practice using my shee wee in the shower and I managed not to be horrified by that Smile

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 07/06/2016 19:34

I only change towels and bedding once a week

Hang on, what do you mean with the only? If that sentence was "I only change towels a wedding once a month" then yes, but the way is is, only has no place in it.

And what's wrong with wearing knickers in bed? Mind boggling.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 07/06/2016 19:35

and bedding

Shit, now I'll have the AC police biting at my bum.

Marynary · 07/06/2016 19:58

look after rental properties and holiday lets, I can always tell when people wee in the shower regularly because it leaves the grout and mastic slightly discoloured - a slight orangey colour. Of course it cleans off with good scrub with various sprays and bleach, which are not so good for the environment!

I doubt very much that it is wee as that will wash straight down. Where I live, water leaves and orange tinge that is easily removed with vinegar or cif.

AppleSetsSail · 07/06/2016 20:03

I most definitely pee in the shower. It never occurred to me not to. What do you do about the potential for poo residue in your bum?

Joystir58 · 07/06/2016 20:14

I have pooed in the shower when I had a stomach bug and everything was running out both ends. TBH it was very liquid and I didn't realise I'd done it until I looked down. Extreme situation.

TwentyCupsOfTea · 07/06/2016 20:16

As women, we are often denied the freedom of standing tall and proud and letting the wee run free Grin the shower can be a rare indulgence!

PaulDacreCuntyMcCuntFace · 07/06/2016 21:05

Chardonnay - I was on a thread recently where the majority said that they changed towels two or three times a week. One poster changed hers after every single use Shock

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 07/06/2016 21:12

I'll happily live a slatternly life then, I have better things to do than wash the living daylights out of a poor pillowcase.

Worried what the dog thinks about my blatant lack of fresh bedding.
