Adults Pissing in Public - communal showers - would you?

83 replies

QuintessentialShadow · 09/04/2009 07:51

I went to our local "Aqua Land" the other day, with our two sons.

When we were done, I took my youngest with me to the showers, and dh our oldest son.

Even my 3 year old would make a mad dash from the pool to the toilet rather than do it in the pool, and through the sshowers to wee before showering.

As I was showering, I noticed orange stained water under the woman showering next to me. First I did not realize what it was, I thought to myself "oh my, her fake tan is coming off", before realization dawned:
Here we have an adult PISSING next to me in the showers. She started chatting to her dd who was showering opposite me, who could be maybe 13, when she also started urinating. And lo and behold, her dds friend let rip to! It was literally a piss fest!I could not believe my own eyes, and quickly finnished showering ds and went to get dressed.

Just then the cleaning lady came, so I wonder if they have some urin alerts or cameras into the showers.

I was shocked and appaled, I really did not think people would wee in open communal shower areas, but I am obviously outdated or a prude, as in this, my first trip to the pool, in years, I see no less than 3 people weeing in one go.

It is disgusting. Isnt it???

With all the horror at pissing in the shower, I probably shouldn't admit to emptying my mooncup in the shower too.

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 16:48

it is absoultely disgusting, but what is worse is what happened in town today.
A woman was in one of the bargain shops when she dropped her trousers, squatted and peed in the centre of an aisle. Not mentally ill either, but she had done it against the back doors of the market hall as well last week.
Dirty bitch.

Ewwww there are some totally gross people out there! When I was younger, I worked in New Look, and some shat in the changing rooms once insert vomit face here All the staff refused to clean it up, and instead directed customers to the downstairs changing rooms with sincere apologies!

Then a few years later when I worked at TKMaxx, a lady asked if we had toilets. I politley told her that they were in the upstairs of the mall, and that I would look after her shopping for her while she went. She then told her child (having not previously mentioned it was HIM who needed the loo) To wee on the floor! I promptly rang the manager,who said I could take them to the staff loos. (Allowances were normally made for small children!)

diedandgonetodevon · 09/04/2009 16:54

yuck! some people are truely vile

ChippingIn · 09/04/2009 16:55

differentEggD - ummm - what??? No one carted her off?? How do you know about the market? How do you know she isn't mentally ill???

Oops - was it you??

As for weeing in public showers - that is disgusting and I would have said something very loudly (well, unless they were scary looking!! (wimp emoticon)).

ChippingIn · 09/04/2009 16:59

Indeed? OMG Really?? There are some weird people out there!!

Many lifetimes ago I had a shop that sold baby things, so hence a lot of visiting toddlers - so a fair few accidents in the playarea!! I didn't mind (had a carpet cleaning machine, not a huge deal), but one woman brought her LO in every week for ages and she would wee in it every bloody time. I should have said something, but in all other ways they were lovely and she was a young single mum with lots of other crap to deal with .... (Can you tell it became a bit of a drop in centre/breastfeeding zone - damm those comfy chairs!! LOL).

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 17:00

it was not me, cheeky!
She was picked up by the police last week when she did the doors and they think she's a drug user- so God only knows what she's on.
As to how i know? I work in a shop and it came over the town radio system.

LOL at it coming over the town radio system.... I am sure the announcement was nowhere near as funny as the one playing in my head!! Just about PMSL

Anyone any suggestions as to what she might be on to think that weeing anywhere she fancies is a good idea?? Maybe they could use this in one of the anti-drug adverts for teenagers!!!

MadamDeathstare - your DH refuses? Blimey they are usually only too keen to oblige with any outdoor weeing requests. Get him a BBQ and a few beers - I'm sure he'll oblige then Either that or borrow a couple of small boys and a step ladder

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 17:23

the poor radio operator in the hsop she did it in was giggling with embarrassment. Luckily the police were out today around town.

Simplysally · 09/04/2009 17:28

That's so gross. I wonder what she would have done if she'd needed to take a dump?

differentEggD · 09/04/2009 17:30

probably done it over a drain or something?

StealthPolarBear · 09/04/2009 17:39

urgh
Don't particularly care what people do in their own private showers but in a communal shower - and so obviously as well!
I do find it odd that all 3 needed to go at the same time though!
About urine being sterile - surely the word means completely free of bacteria? So how can it be sterile for one person but not for another?

solidgoldshaggingbunnies · 09/04/2009 18:31

I think that while it isn't polite to widdle all over the place, some people are being a little bit precious. Piss won't kill you (shit is a lot more problematic), and sooner or later you are going to encounter some (not-full-trained children in public places for instance - or very very PG women unable to make it to the loo in time.)

I did not say anything. I was too shocked. And I was outnumbered. One mum, two teenage girls, and me and my 3 year old.

The place usually pride itself on its hygiene, there are big notices advising everybody to shower, wash with soap, body AND hair, prior to entering the pool. You have to go through the showers to enter the pool. In fact, I did not see even one person going dry out to the pool.

I wonder if I should write into the local paper about it.....

(I did not actually mention about the shit, I thought it too gross. Besides I cannot know if it had originated with that same woman, but it was next to where she tossed her swim costume. She took it off after pissing through it...)

Oh god, a lifetime ago when I was at university (a very good one filled with 'bright young things' there was one girl who was high on God knows what who came out of her room in the college, to the courtyard, maybe a 2 or 3 minute walk stark naked and then promptly lay on her back, spread her legs in a triangle shape and pissed EVERYWHERE. She then proceeded to take a crap before some of her friends managed to convinve her to put a dressing gown on and go to her room... It was horrible she was a social pariah for the next two years and know as 'dumpster'.

Peapod, oh dear oh dear oh dear. Mind you I have known (not, I hasten to add, intimately) men who have done similar things and been generally thought of as cool dudes/game for a laugh... IN my student days, which were a very long time ago, cash machines used to have a little screen which went up when you put your card in and then back down again when you finished your transaction: among certain utter knobs students it was regarded as an act of anti-apartheid political commitment to put your card in a Barclays machine, wait for the screen to go up, shit on the keypad, remove card and sod off.

Every week when we go swimming we get out, go to the showers and just as I get all the shampoo in my hair DD pipes up 'I need the toilet' - she is 2.5 by the way. So the other week I whispered 'Just do it in the shower', she shouts 'I WON'T WEE IN THE SHOWER MUMMY'. I was soooo . Serves me right, I always make sure she goes before we head to the showers now.

LadyOfScoffleTheEasterEggs · 09/04/2009 21:15

Ewwwww! Did they cock theirs legs up simultaneously?

QuintessentialShadow · 09/04/2009 21:36

I guess they were dogs if that is what you mean, but of the two leg variety, so would have lost their balance on the wet slippery floor....

Urine is very good for the skin...no really.

The actress Sarah Miles used to drink her own wee, allegedly.

LOL blametheparents - just before we went swimming the other week I told by 3yr old dd to wait whilst I went for a pee - she said (very loudly) 'don't worry mummy you can pee in the pool' cue me lots of correcting (very loudly) that we do NOT pee anywhere but the toilet.
