To pee in the shower?

Just that really. It all gets washed down the drain anyway.... Aibu or am I committing a treacherous crime?

I usually go for a pee before I have a shower, but wouldnt think twice about peeing in the shower if I needed to. It becomes all diluted and drains away, surely all water is just really really diluted piss

Mungobungo · 31/01/2017 23:50

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I clean the bath when I get out so no big deal. But then, bodily functions don't bother me - DH and i never shut the bathroom door and we both shit in front of each other. It works for us, but most people here would probably say it's grim. Each to their own

I feel sorry for all these special people that are freaked out by it. I mean really, what issues!

RockyBird · 01/02/2017 00:02

I go to the loo, go down and make breakfast then go back up for my shower. I don't pee in it as I don't need.

I always, always pee in the communal showers after swimming though. If I'm honest I don't mind if others do the same. I also waz in swimming pools.

RubyBluesey · 01/02/2017 00:02

I do it!

marhav999 · 01/02/2017 01:16

I'm a male. We have always suspected that women urinate in the shower, and fart as loud as possible when you're on your own, and all your other disgusting habits. Just a pity to have it confirmed.

selsigfach · 01/02/2017 01:26

I was shocked when I first heard friends admitting to this and thought they were revolting and alone in their habits? Then I had a toddler....and you lot are all at it too. Wouldn't want to stand in my husband's wee though!

FireInTheHead · 01/02/2017 01:49

I pee under a full spraying shower, if any pee splashes on my legs it gets rinsed off immediately anyway and then I wash myself thoroughly - body with shower gel and hair with shampoo. The pee is washed and drained away under the shower flow within seconds, it's not like it's sitting there in the tray. People who pee in the loo right before their shower still have residual pee on their genitals and hands even after wiping with toilet paper and I don't believe that there are many so precious they wash their undercarriage and hands seconds prior to getting in the shower, so, pee is going in their showers too, the only difference is volume.

I don't, but having read how urine kills athlete's foot I'm going to start.

Top Tip!!

I live in a country that experiences near-permanent drought, so that's my justification for it.

But, really, I'm just lazy.

KourtneyKardashian · 01/02/2017 05:33

I multitask:

Shower, pee and clean my teeth 😱😬

user1485931854 · 01/02/2017 07:01

I do it every day

Who's we? Your husband? Have you never lived with a woman before? Women are the same as men, just have different reproductive organs. Why would you think we wouldn't fart?!!

And finally, why is it a pity?

So many questions?!

FaintlyBaffled · 01/02/2017 08:40

Yes to peeing and yes to teeth cleaning as well.
I've never asked DH about the peeing, but I know he is slightly perplexed at my teeth cleaning and will not do it himself
I may text him and ask

Andrewofgg · 01/02/2017 09:17

There is an American joke that a WASP is anyone who steps out of the shower to take a piss. I'm not a WASP and when you've got to go you've got to go!

StillMaidOfStars · 01/02/2017 09:28

marhav999 was clearly being tongue-in-cheek.

Latenightreader · 01/02/2017 10:08

I used to get terrible chilblains. Then I moved to a house with a shower, and I haven't had them since...

coffeetasteslikeshit · 01/02/2017 11:55

Apologies Marhav and thanks StillMaid, I'm not my sharpest in the morning!

StillMaidOfStars · 01/02/2017 19:53

Maybe you should try coffee?

Bluntness100 · 01/02/2017 19:59

Two types of people in the world, those who pee in the shower and pretend it's normal, and every one else..,😃

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 01/02/2017 22:40

And also your drains will eventually stink of piss. It's fucking grim, had it in a caravan once when went away obviously due to the dirty bastards pissing in it. It's lazy.

EthelMerman · 01/02/2017 22:54

No peeing in my shower thank you. Have had to give youngest DS a huge bollocking for doing just - he obviously doesn't rinse it away properly so the shower stinks. He then steps out onto bath/shower mat with wee coated feet causing that to reek too. It's not far to the loo either.

Disgusting habit IMHO.

engineersthumb · 01/02/2017 23:20

Makes yourban drains smell of wee? What do you think is in your drain...rose petals? As long as the trap isn't full of wee it won't smell any worse than the toilet (mostly connected to the same drain!).

coffeetasteslikeshit · 02/02/2017 08:01

Can't StillMaid, it tastes of shit
