Why is peeing in the shower shunned so much?

I’ll admit it! I am not afraid of pee. I’d rather pee in the shower than not enjoy the shower because I’m uncomfortable holding in my pee with the warm water cascading off my skin…Crap. Now I gotta go pee.

@JilltheTooth After a long day, stepping into a steamy hot wonderful shower and letting it out is one of THE BEST FEELINGS!!

I hop into the shower, and with the sound of running water, I have to pee, so, I do.

I pee in the shower if I have to go when I’m taking a shower. That way I save a tank of toilet water that I would have used to flush.

I think the issue in the Seinfeld episode was that George did it in a public shower.

@Brian1946 Maybe partly, but Elaine also yells at him that “different pipes go to different places!!!!!!!!!” hahahahaha, I don’t know much about our countries pipe and sewage system so I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

You’ve got a drain. You’ve got running water. You’ve gotta go. What more do you need? Wasn’t the Seinfield show supposed to be about people who challenged things that most people aren’t concerned with? As for public showers, if you’re facing into the water, who can tell?

@Sunny2 Yeah Seinfeld is pretty much making a huge deal out of small things lol. And it is a small thing, but I think it’s something that a lot of people would lie and say they didn’t do. I don’t think before now I ever heard anyone not deny peeing in the shower.

Who said it was shunned?
It’s really no big deal. When I was 6, my Dad was remodeling and adding onto our house. I had no issue peeing in the drain of the about to be made shower and I still don’t have an issue with it.
Yes, my Dad caught me.

I don’t pee in the shower..

I admit to it.

Also, like @blueiiznh‘s story above, our son peed in the shower quite a lot prior to fitting on the big toilet.

I have zero issue with it.

I did it when I had athlete’s foot.

I do it. And what better place? After I’m done I am all washed and clean.

I think the shunners probably don’t like the idea of pee running down their legs when they are trying to get clean.

Peeing in the shower is the “green” thing to do. duh! :P

People often see relieving yourself anywhere other than a toilet to be “taboo” and gross. Interestingly enough, I used to think peeing in the shower was gross and would never have dreamed of doing it as kid. Recently, I’ve gotten lazy and have found myself doing it every now and then. :P

Fact: Pee is sterile. Fact: Your body pouf probably has more germs than pee.

evil grin!

@linguaphile My thoughts exactly.

Peeing in the shower is perfectly ok and having pee mixed in your grey water is harmless AND is saves a flush of the toilet, so you are saving water. It is the green thing to do and the clean thing to do. If more people did this it would save major amounts of water.

I pee in the shower if I need to, or the bath. I dunno much about waste pipes in Seinfeld-land but where I come from, they join up to the same place once they reach outside of the building.

I do try very hard not to pee in the public swimming pool though.

<< Pees in the shower.

Side note: Did anyone see the Jimmy Neutron movie? “I’m peeing. In the shower!” “I’m still doin’ it…”

It’s more about peeing in the shower when you’re not taking a shower that is frowned upon. Especially when it’s someone else’s shower. While they’re taking a shower.

It isn’t shunned as far as I know. I have read that it’s a good thing as it saves a flush. Pee is sterile so it’s not a dirty thing to do.

Fine as long as it drains okay! When I got to my new flat the shower was clogged and there would be a couple of inches of water in the shower—not so good for peeing (or snot rockets). Now that it’s been draino-d, we’re good to go!

I do it too. If you’re afraid of the pee running down your leg, how do you feel about buckets of it floating and swishing around in your body! Okay, maybe it’s not the exact same thing But, it does save the water you would have used when flushing and washing your hands and it’s good for lazy people like me.

Why be worried about pee running down your leg? You’re in the shower… with soap, presumably…

You are not serious, right (, mod)?
Writing standards?
That my moderated response was a clever (says I) play on pee and poo.

@rebbel Rrrrrrrrrrrr

@rebbel We figured, but anyone new to the site wouldn’t know that. Sorry!

@deni eeeebbbbbbbbeeeellllllllllllll
@augustlan You have a good point, a new Jelly might have thought that we don’t mind bad spelling.
No need to apologize.

It seems kind of dumb NOT to pee in the shower. I mean the drain pipe from the toilet and the tub are connected together and are a few feet from each other. Why the hell wouldn’t you pee in the shower? Frickin dorks.

@cockswain I KNOW RIGHT COCK? I don’t understand why more people don’t brush their teeth in the shower either. SO MUCH EASIER.

@deni I can’t brush my teeth with warm water. It just feels wrong, somehow.

@augustlan You’re not supposed to brush them with pee!

Now that I think about it, you waste a lot of water if you brush your teeth in the shower since you can’t easily apply soap and shampoo at the same time. You don’t need gallons of water falling over you to successfully brush your teeth. You can still use soap and shampoo while peeing, so that’s just smart.

@cockswain I let the shampoo sit in my hair for 3 – 5 minutes before I rinse it out. Thats when I soap up, and also when I brush my teeth. Otherwise I just stand there. Very enjoyable, but wasteful.

Do you mean you put on soap with one hand and brush your teeth with the other at the same time? Maybe you brush your teeth with one foot. In that case you wouldn’t be wasting water. If that’s not the case, @deni, I have one question for you: Why do you hate the Earth?

@cockswain I do brush my teeth with my foot. And it’s bizarre because I’m right handed but I’m left footed!

You must be a nasty kickboxer!

@cockswain I am REALLY good. Some people, in passing, have called me Billy Blanks.

Maybe you should make an exercise video series of you kicking people’s asses with a toothbrush and other toiletries. Deni’s Deadly Shower-Fu or something catchy like that.

I’d pay to see that.

I do it every time I get stung by a jellyfish…thankfully I live in Chicago and this does not happen often.
