Once And For All.

Shower: The Scene Of The Crime.
So, The Girlfriend walked in the bathroom earlier to find me peeing whilst under the shower, which seemed to upset her, as I later discovered fine shards of glass in the tea I asked her to make me.
Is peeing in the shower not an example of multi-tasking (I do this whilst washing my hair) or is this an example of anti-social behaviour?
I’ve discussed this with people from various walks of life, who all seem to agree with me. At a recent photo shoot for GQ, the three lingerie models I spoke to were unanimous in their belief that it’s quite normal to pee in the shower, as long as you drink plenty of water beforehand. The vagrant who lives under my car was also quite adamant that one should always be allowed to drops off the kids when having a shower, before he politely requested the use of my bathroom facilities, which I obviously had to decline.
So, peeing in the shower – Yay? Or Nay?


i thought everyone pees in the shower. hmmm interesting. by the way to ‘drop off the kids’ implies the other.which i AM sure is anti-social
@Johnny Nitro,
I also assumed everyone peed in the shower.
Regarding “dropping the kids off”, you’re right, that does refer to a poo.
I’m not sure if Maurice (the vagrant who lives under my car) is confused, or if he does actually do this in showers. In which case, thank goodness I didn’t let him use my bathroom.
Does Maurice actually shower – have you asked that question? Or is he refering to the torrential downpours that we sometimes have, (When Derrick predicts the weather correctly), where taking a number 2 in the rain is pretty much ok?
I think it’s fine to pee in the shower, doesn’t flushing a toilet use like 5 or 10 litres of water, or something to that effect? You’re saving the planet while showering.
I piss in my garden all the time, I probably save over 200 litres of water a week doing this.
Now I can add “Humanitarian” to my list of accomplishments.
Peeing in the shower is awesome, multi-tasking at its best…
I also find that brushing your teeth and shaving in the shower can also help save time…
I don’t see anything wrong with it; my wife on the other hand thinks it’s decidedly not lekker.
I have that exact same shower head… and the tiles look the same too – have you been pee’ing in my shower Shaun?
Peeing in the shower is cool – as long as you’re not showering with someone else at the same time :)
Yes, I’m liking this.
It seems as if all the gents are in agreement that this is in fact acceptable behaviour.
Do the ladies concur?
The police are on their way to arrest you. I gotta inform you this is a criminal offense as stipulated in the constitution that was revised about 4 seconds ago, JOKES! Hey, I’m only joking. The police aren’t going to arrest you for peeing in the shower. You’re allowed to, but ultimately, the penultimate choice lays directly in you hands. You don’t even have to use your hands.
I think if it’s *your* shower you can do whatever you want in it. Multitasking is the way to go except for dropping the children off of course and rather don’t multitask when you have your partner in the shower with you. That would just be mean…
Peeing in the shower is totally acceptable, as long as you follow the basic rules.
i)it’s only you there
ii)you aim it down the drain
From the first one it is clearly obvious that boarding house/gym style showers are not cool. Even if you’re alone, someone could arrive mid pee.
The second one is why the Girlfriend is bleak about it.
peeing in the shower has been widely accepted as the normal thing to do by men the world over since the dawn of time…maybe even before.
Girls on the other hand seem to have a problem with it. Maybe it runs down their legs when they are standing or something like that? I wouldn’t know.
Shebee, peeing in public showers, as well as pools is also fine. I would suggest not taking a strong vitamin beforehand though, as this tends to make your pee bright yellow and will attract the wrong sort of attention.
Ah, Shaun – I fully came here expecting to see my emailed comment of which I expressed my consent for you to quote. Tisk, tisk.
I’ll paste it here:
Boys, boys, please calm yourselves. Peeing in the bush is acceptable. Peeing over balconies when you’re pickled is slightly less acceptable, unless it is in the middle of the night and your neighbour is a general pain in the ass. Peeing in the shower, however, is never acceptable.
So the next time you feel warmth running down your leg from any liquid other than hot shower water, scold yourself, and know that Jesus is watching you from above.
I was shocked when I read this. I can’t believe anyone thinks its ok, so I did a mini survey in our office. Turns out 80% of my office thinks its ok, the worst part to me is that 90% of my office are women.
My vote is still no its not ok!
shaun peeing in the shower is not acceptable! neither is peeing in the bath as you found out.you filthy little swine
Apart from the hippies who channel their grey water onto their gardens (yes they put shampoo and pubes on their grass), the shower and the toilet drains go to the same place.
I wonder if all those against knew that?
I don’t see anything wrong with peeing in the shower , as long as you aim for the drain.
Peeing in the shower feels like a very self defeating thing. You are trying to get clean but then you are peeing on yourself basically. Maybe for men its different, like you can direct the pee??? But why? Why cant you pee before/after the shower? And even if you direct you peen away from your leg when you pee as a man, doesnt it go to your feet? Don’t you then find yourself with pee feet? Why do you want to end/start the day with pee on your feet?
So many questions..
Strange, Ive always felt this is one of those things that one should just keep to themselves. :) Like odd ejaculation techniques.
Next we will find out that 40% of us have pissed in a the kitchen sink.
It’s a well know biological fact that the human bladder contracts when one enters warm water. That is why we suddenly need to be pee when we step into a hot shower. Any self-respecting man (or women) WOULD courteously pee in the loo beforehand if we actually knew we needed to pee.
In defense of the guys: we don’t then step out of the shower and pee in the loo because that would create a watery mess on the bathroom floor – which is way harder clean up than pee in the shower that gets washed down the drain.
We therefore pee in the shower, when the urge unexpectedly hits us, out of love for our girlfriends/wives/moms (or whoever you might live with).
And that, ladies and gentleman, is why it is acceptable to pee in the shower.
Peace out
