I don’t know about you but when I gotta go, it seems like such a waste of time to get out of the shower to take a leak. I figure the water is going down the drain to the same place the toilet goes to so what’s the difference.

Now, I can understand if the ladies wouldn’t necessarily enjoy having pee running down their legs but at least a guy can aim for the drain.

One caveat – if I’m taking a shower somewhere where the drain is slow and water backs up, I’ll wait. I don’t want to stand in the stuff. But other than that, I figure why wait.

What about you – wait or let loose?

Agreed w/respect to the athlete’s foot thing. See my comments in the other thread opened on this topic.

Why are there two threads on tis subject?

Well, I did find it funny that someone who gives themselves the moniker “the wiz” was posting about peeing in the shower. Perhaps they should be renamed “the whizz.”
