Is it more environmentally friendly to pee in the sink?

While we’re on the subject, do they still have those abominable toilet bowls in Europe where instead of it being filled with water there’s a shallow platform in back and a well in the front. I hated visiting my relatives not because of them, I loved them, but hated crapping there. It would just sit in open air unless you immediately courtesy flushed. You’d presumably have to wipe, so you wound up flushing twice per visit. Super wasteful.

It works well as a bear deterrent. Have seen bears change direction to avoid my piss line.

I was always an early adopter. Thank you. I like to think the whole world is my urinal no matter how much the police disagree. If show poodles can pee freely on fire hydrants, I see no reason why I can’t do the same.

Remind me never to attend a Dopefest at the OP’s house.

As the Mother of a grown son i would be horrified if he pee’d in a public restroom sink. I would consider my toilet training of him to be inadequate.
What he does in his own house I’ll leave to my DIL to sort out. Somehow, I don’t think she would find it amusing.
Even the deer camp that he and his Dad run has a nice bath-house. What they do on trees can stay in the woods, I don’t wanna know about it.

My personal experience is that peeing in the sink causes the sink to smell like urine after a while. I discovered this living in a hotel in a downtown area, the bathroom was down the hall, and peeing in the sink was easier. But it smelled of urine when I moved in.

In regards to low-flow toilets, they can cause problems when there is not enough water to carry the feces all the way to the sewer. Drains can get clogged with dried waste, which sets up like concrete, requiring the drain line to be replaced.

If your son has attended a large rock concert or a sporting event, they’ve at least had the opportunity to pee in a public restroom sink. Pretty much everything with a drain gets used as a urinal at those.

We have no need for bathrooms! The universe is our bathroom!

Yeah, I’m another one of those folks who will just go ahead and pee outside if I’m outside. My mom was never happy about my dad’s habit of doing that. On the other hand, I never saw any mountain lions, bobcats, bears or sharks hanging around.

In related news, the head of Oslo’s sewer agency has told folks that when in the shower let it rip. It’s getting a surprising amount of pushback.

I’d imagine the suggestion to use a sink would be met with even stronger resistance.

Yeah, I told my husband that I don’t mind if he pees in the shower, but I’d be unhappy if he were peeing in the sink. (And yes, I would likely notice.)

Splashback from the garbage disposal?

ETA: likely not the kitchen sink, I’ll bet.

I might go to Jim’s house, but he is definitely not coming to mine.
