The only Buddy Hackett line I remember is: “Bob Hope is a classy guy. He’s such a classy guy that he gets out of the shower to take a leak.” I heard that when I was 12 and for some reason remember it today. ---

I pee, shave, and brush my teeth. Sometimes I will wash an article of clothing. Rarely I might even masturbate. On occasion I nap. ---

I have peed in there, but it’s not as if I do it regularly. I masturbate in there much more often. I shave in there every day. And for some reason, the idea of brushing my teeth in the shower sort of grosses me out. I blow my nose in there. I have never, to my knowledge, taken a dump or puked in the shower. I guess that covers all of my bodily functions. ---

> [@corkboard](#): > > I blow my nose in there. The other day, I heard my older son calling me from his shower. He wanted me to hand him a kleenex, so he could blow his nose. I told him to just blow into his fingers. “Ew! That’s gross!” “Yes, but you’re surrounded by soap. You can wash your hands when you’re done.” And he was enlightened. ---

I will admit something to you guys that I am not very proud of. I have pooped in the shower before ☹ It was not fun. ---

Next time someone wants to use my shower I’m going to be like, sorry man, out of order. Yeah, both of them are all the way broke. I don’t care if you ARE my kid, go shower at the YWCA or something, sicko. ---

What is genuinely surprising is that after 73 responses, no one has spoken of showering in pee. ---

No, I do not as a rule pee in the shower, I’ve done it once or twice and it’s not for me. Now if I ever buy another house I see there is a 67% chance the shower will have been peed in. Bring out the bleach. ---

Bring out the bleach. Given that more than one person has probably used that shower, I think it would be approaching 100%.
