I voted “Yes,” but I really should qualify it by saying I sometimes pee in some showers.
I don’t pee in my own shower, because it’s an old house with a very slow drain. It’s bad enough being ankle-deep in water in the shower when the water has no pee in it. I do pee in the locker room shower at work because it is a forceful and fast-draining shower.
That being said, I would like to note that I attended a Postsecret Live event earlier this year, and Frank Warren said the most frequently submitted secret (I almost said “number one secret” -heh) is “I pee in the shower.”
Back in the '90s, whenever I’d get up to pee in the middle of the night, I would always miss the bowl at first and make a mess. My ex would then bitch me out in the morning.
So I started peeing in the bathtub/shower. When she found out I was doing that, she got even more pissed off.
Finally, I went and peed off the balcony one night. She went ballistic!
I swear, there was just no pleasing that woman! :smack:
The last time I peed in the shower was this morning, so you get the idea (I take a shower first thing and if I have to pee, which is usual, I do it).
As for brushing teeth and shaving, that just strikes me as too complicated (and particularly weird for the former), and just how do you save water? You’ll be slowed down somewhat by having to do multiple things at once, even if it is faster than doing them one at a time, plus you surely don’t leave the water running while shaving/brushing (and in any case, rinsing the toothbrush/razor for a few seconds each is like a second of shower water). Heck, I don’t even leave the shower running while washing myself, only to wet myself then rinse off (kind of hard to lather yourself when it gets rinsed away, yeah, you can step out of the stream, but why leave the water on?).
Good Og, urine is sterile, s t e r i l e, when it leaves the body. The stuff you scrub off your body showering is nastier than pee. And most people who do it empty their bladder well before they finish showering, so the pee gets flushed with more water that a typical toilet would use. If you break out the bleach, it will be a purely psychological aid for you. Save it for what you really need it for.
I do not, I would not. I was taught a LONG time ago by two pretty smart people that pee and poop go in the toilet only. Period. If I have to pee and there’s a toilet, I use it. If there isn’t, I find a toilet and use it.
Also, I didn’t spend all that time, money and fancy tile to use the shower as a sewer.
Assuming you are male, you might want to check what’s caught in the trap. Or you might not. Especially if you have a partner with long hair. Things combine down there, if you know what I mean.
There’s a trap at the bottom of the main stack in our basement right before it heads out the wall to the septic tank in the back yard. Do you think it’s filled with a combination of my wife’s hair and my congealed spunk? That’d be pretty funny for the plumber to find.
When I was little, I was taught things by two pretty smart people, too. Then I grew up and started thinking independently, and found that I arrived at different conclusions on some issues.
I made that joke here before. Some people, born without a humorous, thought it wasn’t a joke and the thread got hijacked into a grey water and sewage discussion.
I also fart in the general direction of Kenigguts.
Got a bad case of ‘Delhi belly’ traveling in India once. Just sat on the floor of a running shower and let nature take its course. It was that or hover for hours over a squat toilet.
If the urge strikes I don’t fight it but I don’t think of it as a place to do that. I silently seethed in the direction of a houseguest who stumbled straight out of 10 hours sleep into the shower and started the water. The toilet has a room of its own he did not go to. The thought of anyone choosing my shower deliberately as a place to piss while a guest in my house was really off.
Yes, I mean, that’s quite a bit off. I am like you, I can’t see getting out of the shower, dripping water and soapsuds, likely to slip and fall, just to urinate. But to plan on it? No way.
