Adults Pissing in Public - communal showers - would you?

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I was shocked and appaled, I really did not think people would wee in open communal shower areas, but I am obviously outdated or a prude, as in this, my first trip to the pool, in years, I see no less than 3 people weeing in one go.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

there should be a boak emoticom
"Except in cases of kidney or urinary tract infection (UTI), urine is virtually sterile and nearly odorless. Most noticeably, the asphyxiating ammonia is produced by breakdown of urea. Some diseases alter the quantity and consistency of the urine, such as sugar as a consequence of diabetes.
Hazards

Urea is toxic and can be irritating to skin and eyes. High concentrations in the blood can cause damage to organs of the body.
Characteristics

The typical bright yellow color of urine is caused by the pigment urochrome as well as the degradation products of bilirubin and urobilin.[citation needed] It can range from clear to a dark amber, depending mostly upon the level of hydration of the body, among other factors."

I suppose if they were peeing in the shower at least they weren't peeing in the pool.... small mercy ?

Peeing in the pool is vile.

When I go for a swim, I always end up desperate for a wee after about half an hour, but I get out, quick shower, whizz off for a whizz then shower again and get back in.

My Ds wee'd in the communal shower at a pool when he was about 3, DH and PIL's said it didn't matter & I shouldn't have made a fuss, but I told him not to do it again

Beyond gross. Wee might not be as bad as other substances, but it is still waste product, and starts to smell very quickly in a warm environment.

She didn't blow dry her fanjo afterwards, by any chance?

TheSmallClanger - I wondered how long it would take for someone to bring that thread into it . If it was a choice between the two though, I'd have the wee'er!
