No, never. Why would I - the toilet is one foot from the shower, and though being a woman I actually can’t reach it from the shower, it’s not like it’s in a different building or something. ---

The water from the shower goes into the same drain pipe as the toilet. Not surprising. ---

Yeah, it keeps your feet warm when the water turns cold. ---

“Daddy, this place smells like tinkle.” Sure, I let fly with a good whiz while showering. And, like PLD, I shave in the shower, too, without a mirror. I also graph algorithms and smash atoms while bathing, too. ---

That’s why is sucks when your shower drain backs up. Peeing down the shower drain is one thing. Soaking in it is another. ---

I mean the shower drain and the toilet flush all end up in the same place… ---

I usually pee before I shower, and I **never** pee in the shower. Now, masturbating in the shower is another issue entirely… ---

I peed in the shower once. This was due to the fact that I heard quite a few jokes about how uptight people were people that got out of the shower to pee. So one time I really had to go and let it rip. I just ended up feeling vaguely dirty so I never did it again, and I probably never will. Most of the people on this thread admit they do. I wonder if it’s because most people pee in the shower, or because of the fact that people who don’t just ignored this thread entirely. I’d also like to say that I am not a neat freak in any sense. I just don’t pee in the shower. Please don’t ostracize me. ---

I’m locking this off, but for your convenience I’ve bumped the _original_ thread in the BBQ PIT to the top. Have fun! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-pee-in-the-shower/35024.md?page=1)
