> [@Anaamika](#): > > :eek: Seriously? What earthly reason do you have for peeing in the sink? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see a problem with it going down the drain, but my toothbrush is right there, and my hairbrush, and probably a bunch of other crap. And no matter what, you are not cleaning it all up. Sorry about that Anaamika. If you had told me you had moved all your stuff into my bathroom, I could have cleaned up a bit first! > [@Renee](#): > > But why? Presumably there isn’t a line for the toilet in your house. I’m baffled. Ya know, I like to think that it’s my way of helping the environment by not wasting precious toilet water. I should put signs up saying how much I care about being green, like they do in hotels. Plus that way I don’t wake anyone up at night with loud peeing or flushing. How considerate, right? But truthfully I just remember hearing about it from Adam Carola a number of years ago, probably on Loveline, and the idea stuck. “heeeeeeey…I \*can \*pee in the sink!” Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it’s every time. In fact, it’s not most times. But, you know, the option’s there. Have penis, will travel. ---

> [@Enderw24](#): > > Ya know, I like to think that it’s my way of helping the environment by not wasting precious toilet water. My gf and I follow the “if it’s yellow” school of thought. It is especially easy, since we have three bathrooms; mine, hers, and guest. ---

> [@alphaboi867](#): > > I’ve never heard of that, but I have seen women barge into the men’s room when the line for the women’s got too long. Never the reverse though, except of course at a gay bar. I was peeing in a mens room at a dive bar a few years back and woman barged in because I guess the line to the ladies was too long. She saw that all the toilets were occupied to she she promptly hopped up onto the sink in full view of about 10 dudes. ---

She saw that all the toilets were occupied to she she promptly hopped up onto the sink in full view of about 10 dudes. I saw a woman hike up her skirt and sit in a urinal once. It was nastier than it sounds. Though judging by her hygiene, the urinal cake was likely an improvement odor-wise. Dive bar = pissing in the sink in my experience. ---

Anecdote: I made a trip to Chicago shortly after “The New Comisky Park” opened. I went with an old time friend. After I returned from the men’s room my friend asked me how I liked the new stadium. I said “well, unlike Shea Stadium they aren’t pissing in the sinks.” I did get a laugh. ---

I don’t know why this got dredged up from the dark recesses of my memories, but I recall seeing a clip on the old MTV channel, where a reported interviews a bunch of swimsuit-clad young people at the beach. She asked them “do you pee in the ocean?” I thought this was hilarious-something gross…on the order of “sink peeing”!
