uh why is more disgusting that an adult pees as opposed to kids? The volume would be on the kids side since a lot more of them will do it, often and repeatedly.
sidenote: never tell a kid in a pool to go pee. Always tell them to get of the pool and go pee in the bathroom. I once told my then 5 year old boy (playing in a waterpark) to go pee and his answer was “ok” at which he stood still and turned around and played some more.
The point is, somone (old or young) is going to go pee in the ppol. Its going to be a given. Either you are going to be disgusted and never swim in a any pool or ocean again or just resign to the fact that its going to be there and its not really that bad for you.
Floaters and sinkers are another problem. I would leave if any were found. Human feces can carry bacteria very harmful to other humans. plus i may be scatophobic.
I have been guilty of peeing in the pool, though if there is a sign or personal request to refrain, I will out of respect for hosts/owners of such pool.
I really think it has to do with how you are brought up. I think people who were raised to think urination is a dirty, dirty, shameful things, etc aren’t going to be able to fathom urinating in ANY body of water.
Consider this … it was a 80,000 liter pool. Let’s say that I really had to go … that’s about 500 ml of whiz. The concentration of urine to pool water would be 1:320,000, and the concentration of uric acid to pool water would be far less. Besides, all the chemicals and chlorine and everything else in there … whatever is in there would have to break down.
Wow. I need to know more about this peeing-in-pool etiquette, if that’s the word for it. So if I were to host a backyard barbeque and I have a pool, I’m expected to actually put a sign up asking my guests to not pee in my pool, otherwise some of my adult guests might actually do it? And this is supposed to be reasonable? What if you’re out of the pool but your suit is still wet and you have to pee? Would you go back in the pool to pee, or would you be polite enough to go inside and use the toilet?
Are there also people who will pee in my sprinkler if it’s running because it will be diluted and won’t hurt anything? After all, my dog pees outside, so it must be ok for people, too, right?
I was taught that you’re supposed to pee in bathrooms. I figured it was ok to pee in lakes if I was swimming in it, because fish and animals did it. But peeing in a pool? No.
Has any of the adult pee-ers in this thread consider the fact the the very first person that pee comes in contact with in its strongest concentration is the one who did it?
X~Slayer(ALE), most little kids don’t know any better, or, if they do, don’t really understand the effect it could have on other people. It’s the same reason I’m more tolerant of a two year-old throwing a temper tantrum than I am of an adult doing the same thing.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but I don’t think it’s something that should be done. Not something I’m going to lose any sleep over.
The pro-pee’ers :eek: are precisely the reason I do not swim in public pools anymore and why I spent a small fortune building my own pool. The ocean is one thing…heck the fishies are pooping in there. In a pool!?! No way!!
I love this. It’s OK to pee in the ocean, because it’s already full of fish shit. How is swimming in water full of both urine and fish shit better than swimming in chlorinated water with a bit of added urine? If urine grosses you out so much, do you stay out of the ocean completely?
Just verified it: I asked my wife if the five kids (none of them ours) who spend all day in our pool ever get out to go to the bathroom. Her response: “Nope. Not once!”
When I was a tenth-grader in high school, I had a lot of douche bags in my gym class. I hated them all. When the swimming unit came around, I had a fun time pissing in the pool and then watching all the boys spit water at each other, and be dumb like that. It was a good time.
Also, last weekend, I was at a friend’s house. I’d just gotten tattoos, and I was told not to swim for 10 days. Well, my friend was being a pest, so I went in her pool anyways. When she became even more annoying, I quickly pissed in her pool, got out, and told her I had to go home. And then I laughed while I drove to my own house and went in my own pool.
No, I do not pee in my own pool. That’s gross. I just like fucking with other people.
It has something to do with the dilution factor, water currents, etc. Additionally, I swim differently than I do in my own pool. At home, I spend as much time under the water as I do above it. I open my eyes under water as well. At the beach I am either wading or on a surf board.
As I said above, I don’t do a full-body lounge/float thing at the beach. If the beach is crowded then I definitely do not get in which is as much about the crowds (I don’t like to be around mobs of people) as well as the sanitation factor.
I hope you mean that you hold onto the cup and just throw the contents (i.e. the piss) over the fence. Otherwise, your neighbor may get suspicious after several cups start piling up in his/her yard.
I never knew pool-pissing was so prevalent, regardless of one’s age. Makes me glad I haven’t been in a swimming pool for at least ten years now.
Well, the way I look at it - pools, hot tubs, whatever - all that water is already bathing everyone’s various naughty bits, so is a little pee really that big a deal?
Which is why I don’t do the pool/hot tub thing at all.
