I believe that study is highlighting the effects of flushing a toilet without putting the lid down; not the contamination of urine all over the bathroom.

You ever seen the sides of the partitions next to stand up urinals? There is definitely splash back. Or the floors next to urinals. I don't see puddles if they don't clean often, just a nice sheen. It's on your shoes and you walk into your house with that mess. Onto your carpets. How about the people who jump into be with their normal clothes.

It's more of a moral problem to me than the fear of germs. I'm quite the opposite of that actually, I grew near a forest and was covered in small animals and fungus throughout my childhood.

Morals? What morals?

I don't because I'm not an animal

Animals pee in the shower?

Yes

It's funny that shower pissers think that 100% of their piss is going down the drain. Unless you clean your shower every day, there will be microscopic pieces of piss all over the shower. Mainly sticking any layer of soap scum or mildew that's already in there (even if it's not clearly visible). And that does not stay sterile for very long. Even when you aim for the drain there is splashing involved.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Ive been caught out in the past but id never make it a habit to piss in the shower. You guys are nasty. Forget the fact that piss is sterile, you are basically excreting waste matter in the same place you are trying to clean yourself. That is ass backwards imo.

And you motherfuckers that shit in the shower.....You need serious help. Nasty bastards.

And what happens with those "microscopic pieces of piss"? What do they do?

This was brought up a few pages ago:

"Urine contains waste products from the body, for example, creatinine, urea (a source of Nitrogen), uric acid, and other minerals (like Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus) which are soluble in water as salts. Normally there is minimal Protein and/or Glucose. Bacteria from the environment love these nutrients"

And?

 

[Scrooged]

And?

Like I said, unless you clean your shower every day there will be a layer of soap scum and possibly mildew. You'd be surprised how much of that is in even a 'clean' shower. Piss will get embedded in that shit.

 

[Smo21]

Gross! I really hope people i live with don't do that nasty shit.

 

[user8503492]

Ive always heard urine kills some bacteria/fungus, so pissing in the shower is good to avoid athletes foot which can be spread via shower floors.

I do it, drain shot or not. Of course not on the walls but the floor of the shower is fair game. A 10 minute shower means I piss in it 30 seconds after I get in and then the next 9 and a half minutes the area is in a constant stream of hot soapy water so its near impossible for a single bit of piss to not have gone down the drain or be washed away.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

It's not as convenient for me so....no. That's a bit gross. Boys are icky.

Boys' urine is steril at the time of leaving the body. Nothing icky about it.

 

[KillGore]

How long do you run the water before entering? This is a pet peeve because water isn't free. I have a budget to keep and always tell my oldest son to not run the water for 5 minutes while he sits there and does whatever he needs to do to get in.

The most I wait is about 20 seconds for me to find the balance of hot/cold water.

I also don't like the toilet being flushed for something like getting rid of a stray piece of toilet paper or wiping the toilet of a blemish. I wait until it actually needs to be used to waste water. Call me frugal I guess

I see no issue with really peeing in the shower so long as you aim and do it with consideration to others. That stuff may spatter and get on the sides of things and cling there if not cleaned.

My water heater takes around 2 minutes to heat up the water, and since it's freezing before, I simply cannot jump in the shower. I hate shaking from the cold, while being naked. 2-3 minutes is all I need to pick out clothing, since I'm not a woman

It's not as simple as just saying "Urine is sterile" so it's 'safe', urine is not tap water, it has different properties and reactions to outside continents and bacteria.

To quote,

It's not like your bottling it up and keeping it air tight to turn it into ammonia.

Which is why I say it should be disposed of in a safe and clean manner.

I aim for the drain and I'm sure all that water that's pouring down rinses most, if not all of the pee around the drain. Also, a little bacteria is not bad for you and since I've never heard of anyone getting sick or dying from peeing in the drain, I think I'll sleep at night knowing I'll be peeing in the shower the next morning. If you're so scared of bacteria, maybe you should live in a bubble.

 

[Reversed]

Oh, please.

No girl does the same?

Animals pee in the shower?

My dog did. Perhaps it was the humidity.

 

[zoukka]

Moral? That's even weirder.

Like washing hands. You have a defence force for not washing your hands after peeing as well. I just find it the least I can do to my enviroment and my fellow humans. It's a similar situation with your bathroom.

Morals? What morals?

Yes, urinals certainly cause splash back which is why I avoid them.

But I doubt it should be an issue for home bathrooms. I never stand and piss as it otherwise results in splashbacks. I also always ensure that the lid is down when I flush. Anything else is frankly disgusting.

Yep. Bang on.

 

[LanceVance]

Hell yeah I do! I've perfected my aim over the years so that I hit the drain 100% of the time and none of it goes near my feet.

That's some hardcore OCD

do you cover the toilet with a plastic bag before flushing?

I'm guessing you cringe at the moment where you're pooping and the poop makes a splash big enough to touch your anus. You also take a bath after you poop, don't you? I've done it, sure, but I'm guessing you do it 100% of the time?

 

[la flama blanca]

That shit is fucking gross.

 

[neojubei]

and I don't give a fuck. Who's with me?

what if you shower with someone?

 

[FStop7]

what if you shower with someone?

Pee on them. Mark them as yours.

Or if it's Bear Grylls in the shower with you he'll just drink it.

 

[entremet]

what if you shower with someone?

You piss on them. It's fun.

 

[kylej]

I pay my goddamn mortgage and I'll piss in my goddamn shower because that is my right.

 

[neojubei]

You piss on them. It's fun.

Two guys pissing on each other in the shower is weird and kinky

 

[Fallout-NL]

I used to piss out my bedroom window so that I wouldn't have to walk downstairs.

Dude! Me too!

Didnt want to wake my parents.

 

[Riggs]

and I don't give a fuck. Who's with me?

Fuck ya

 

[Deadceptor]

That's just fucking gross. I was devastated when I caught my girlfriend red-handed doing this vile thing.

 

[dragonelite]

If it is like wake up go into bath room and piss and then leave nooooo!!
If it is like wake up go into bath room shower then piss because dont want to go to toilet then yes!!!

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I did this a few times in middle school. I stopped when I was worried that my parents might smell it and ask questions.

It's OCD to put the lid down when flushing? What strange planet are you from? What's next, it's OCD to wash your hands after visiting the bathroom? OCD to wash your hands before or after eating food? Heh.

First is the confirmation of the existence of the aerosol effect, even though it is largely unrecognized. "Droplets are going all over the place—it's like the Fourth of July," said Gerba. "One way to see this is to put a dye in the toilet, flush it, and then hold a piece of paper over it" (8). Indeed, Gerba's studies have shown that the water droplets in an invisible cloud travel six to eight feet out and up, so the areas of the bathroom not directly adjacent the toilet are still contaminated. Walls are obviously affected, and in public or communal bathrooms, the partitions between stalls are definitely coated in the spray mist from the toilet (1).

And of course I cringe whenever I get splash back. It is a horrible, horrible feeling. I always shower whenever this occurs.

 

[smr00]

Why are you taking 10 minute showers? You act like timing your piss around your shower takes some advanced coordination.

Sometimes i don't have to piss and then the water gets going BAM i have to.

I piss in my shower all the time i don't give a squirrel flying shit.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Everybody does it.

 

[zoukka]

Everybody does it.

I haven't heard of a single person in real life doing it. Besides little kids that stopped when they got caught.

What about every other single thing on your body that you wash off? Oh my god, there's dirt and old skin cells and body oils everywhere, too!

 

[MormaPope]

Were you caught?

Also, I guess I have piss poor morals for shower pissing.

Not to mention all the shit residue and such in all of our asses.

 

[PJV3]

Apparently when you piss in the toilet it vapourises and everything in the bathroom gets covered in piss-mist.

Therefore pissing in the shower is more sensible.

 

[neojubei]

Everybody does it.

Which is why I never shower at the gym. I go home and shower and know no one pees in my shower

Oh a side note I caught a woman peeing at the train station.

 

[entremet]

I haven't heard of a single person in real life doing it. Besides little kids that stopped when they got caught.

People are not going to admit these things IRL.

 

[ascii42]

Try the toilet sometime. It is great.

Not saying you can't pee in the shower, just saying not every day. Your poor pipes.

Your toilet isn't connected to pipes?

 

[cm osi]

i do it so i don't waste water

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Weird that some of you think others are lying when they say they don't do it. I've honestly never felt the need.

 

[bideogamer]

ITT people living in fear of piss particles

 

[Gustav]

ITT people living in fear of piss particles

I hope they'll never find out they have piss particles in their underwear.

 

[Bisnic]

I got a toilet like right next to the shower... so no. If i wanna take a piss, i use the damn toilet.

 

[PJV3]

I hope they'll never find out they have piss particles in their underwear.

I think about 40% of the population have shit particles on their hands.

 

[TemplaerDude]

I think about 40% of the population have shit particles on their hands.

You're pulling that number out of your ass.

 

[PJV3]

You're pulling that number out of your ass.

lol.

It was a British study, 40% was in one region the rest was in the 30s if I remember.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Shitty.
