Pee in the sink?
Not in my sink.
If I’m visiting at friends, that’s different. Why leave the kitchen when you can relieve yourself and continue your conversation at the same time? And keep eating that apple, too?
That’s what I said to the police, anyway. Turns out you actually have to be invited into someone’s house before you can consider them a “friend”. Red tape, I dunno…
Lazy and disgusting I think are the two adjectives that come immediately to mind.
Gotta admit.
Dude, you say you’re tired and dizzy in the morning (I can understand the tired but dizzy is odd). So sit on the can and get on with business. You get to SIT that way.
Not only do I pee in the sink, I wash my face in the toilet.
About the only time I don’t pee in the sink is when I’m swimming or taking a shower. Although I believe the case for peeing in the sink is quite obvious, I outlined my reasons for doing so in a previous thread-

Fair enough, but where do you brush your teeth?
Teeth? I don’t gots me none o’ thems…
WILLASS, I’ve been wondering…how are you enjoying Steely Dan?
I’m really digging it, my girlfriends brother is going to drop off my multi-album minidisc recordings next weekend so I will get to hear the rest of the stuff in depth. Meanwhile I have ‘Reelin in the Years’ to get me through my hellish four hour train journey tonight, all things considered I’m actually looking forward to it even though I am gonna be wading right through London at rush hour - I find that ‘The Dan’ just brightens my day so much that I can’t get stressed. Swell.
I made a funny a couple years ago about this very subject. A friend was having some work done to his bathroom and said “I don’t have a sink right now”.
And I said “Really? Well, where do you pee?”
All right, I guess you had to be there, but I was completely joking. I had no idea that people like yourselves could act like such colossal weirdos.
It’s just pee. I mean, it’s not like it’s really all that dirty or anything. If I’m already at the sink, I tend to think it’s easier. Plus, the toilet uses a lot of water to flush. Whereas the sink gets perfectly clean with a quick swish, saving several gallons of our precious fresh water.
You are aware, are you not, that it is possible to hold one’s winky and aim?
What, do you have a dribble dong?
I have done it a few times, then one time my wife, who was sitting on the thrown at the time when I needed to use it said she was not going to be getting off soon, so if I want to go I would have to pee in the sink, which I did. I do it a bit more often now that I got the official OK (after all she was on the throne )
As the OP says, it’s easier to aim at a closer target.
Because we haven’t peed in the sink?
In the shower or pool, yes. And on one or two occassions, in a wastebasket that was lined with a plastic bag (and said plastic bag was disposed of). But that was when I was younger (about 12) and too afraid to go downstairs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, after watching a horror movie on late night cable tv.
(Besides which, it’s not as easy for us gals, because we’d have to hoist ourselves up and sit over the sink, which isn’t that comfortable, plus the added danger of a faucet going up one’s ass!)
24 years ago I was peeing in the men’s room at a punk rock place in NYC. I don’t remember the name, but it wasn’t the Mud Club. Anyway, a punk girl came in and hoisted her thighs into the sink and relieved herself. She said something that was incredibly funny at the time, but one word of which I can’t recall today.
(Kind of like a 1980’s version of Everet Sloan’s memory of the girl on the ferry in Citizen Caine)
I once lived in a really old, cheap apartment in Berlin that had the community toilet for the three apartments on that floor, half a flight down the stairs.
Now, when it was January, and 1 foot of snow outside, wind howling, and it is 2:00 AM and you have a choice of peeing in the relative warmth of the kitchen sink, or getting somewhat dressed, going down a half flight of freezing stairs and peeing into a cold bowl with ice forming on the water…
well…you decide what you would do.
On my mirth-o-meter, this post ranks closely with “Do I fart holes in my undwear?”
and “Have you ever shit your pants?”
(And no, I’m not gonna linky-link. But if some of you newer Dopers will do a search, you will find the search well worth it. Both threads are full of humor and pathos. )
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and no, I’ve never peed in a sink, but I suspect I do fart holes in my underwear!
Q
Well, this may strike some females as “lazy and disgusting” but I have indeed peed in the sink. The kitchen sink, no less.
For you see, my teenage sister was hogging the bathroom, with the door locked, and I woke up with an urgent need to urinate, and it was minus-something-degrees outside.
So you’re damn right I peed in the sink. And I cleaned it with soap afterwards.
And there have been public restrooms with toilets so disgusting I wouldn’t even get near them… and when they’re that gross, the sink becomes fair game.
Heh. The last time this subject came up, I realized that if I were male I’d have to stand on tippy-toes in order to pee in the sink, rather than on the vainity doors. Most sinks are too high for women to pee in, that’s why there are few women responding. That and the fact that it probably doesn’t appeal to most (sober) women anyway. So many women complain about the seat being left up because they might acientally sit in the bowl- no lights in their bathrooms, apparently, and you think they’d willingly sit in a sink?!
