Pees in shower

[Judith]

Okay, honestly, how many of you actually pee in the shower?

I do.

...I'm bored.

[studentsteve]

Must admit i have done in the past. Another question how many have peed in the sink.

[Judith]

As a girl, peeing in the shower is one thing. As far as the sink- the toilet is far more convenient.

:rollin: :rollin: :rollin:

Can't say I have...........I'm a female and ONLY five feet tall!!!!!!!!

[studentsteve]

Must be a drunk guy thing have walked into a ton of pub toilets and seen blokes stepping up to the sink if there is no room in the toilets.

[Huh]

There is a theory that I heard once about male children peeing in the sink versus the toilet. Apparently it gives them a sense of control. I don't know how prevelant the problem is, but apparently it happens enough to garner the attention of mental health professionals.

It is also my understanding that adults will do this as well.

[Selena1]

My ex-husband had a friend once that got so drunk, he started peeing in my kitchen trashcan.

[AgentSun]

you know, pees in shower would make a funny indian name.

LOL! That's what I thought this thread was!

[talyn3]

I pee anywhere there's a drain. Shower, sink, sump, storm sewer, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

[AgentSun]

so does that disqualify trees and shrubbery?

[Sunderflame]

Judy babe that is a little too much information...and your all grown up for the most Part? :rollin: :grr:

[General]

Trees and shrubs are considered fair game in my book! :D

[Frellster]

Nah, I don't pee in the shower, unless ill or drunk. It just doesn't seem right to pee in the shower.

I don't know why that creeps me out (especiialy since I am a self admitted shower peer), but it does.

I've peed everywhere at one time or another. In fact, I just peed in the maintainence bay.

[mgraylorn]

I think male peeing in strange places is a territorial marking thing. I've heard lots of stories of construction guys peeing off the top of uncompleted buildings. You KNOW at least one astronaut would have loved to have peed on the moon, if he could have figured out how to do it.

Looks like most of us pee in the shower

Ryan Benharris (Collegian Staff)
May 01, 2001

It was pop superstar Madonna who told David Letterman, "Everyone does two things. Everyone picks their nose, and everyone pees in the shower." Though it may be, no doubt, an insightful way to look at the world, it was never really proven, until now.

According to a press release entitled, "Survey reveals that students are so lazy that most pee in the shower," from Lazystudents.com, 75 percent of the 840 college students polled answered "yes" to an online question asking, "Do you pee in the shower?"

Andrew S. Hazen, founder and CEO of Lazystudents.com told the Collegian that the poll results came quite a surprise. The poll stayed online for more than six months, gaining a lot of response.

"It was kind of like that [report] from years ago about not taking mints in a restaurant because people weren't washing their hands," Hazen said. He also pointed out that it was an obvious example of how college students can be lazy, citing that if most are admitting to not even have the physical desire to leave the shower if they feel the need to urinate, then that is a sure sign of indolence.

Studies of UMass students actually proved that a lot of people do go to the bathroom in the shower, possibly coming closer to proving the survey's results as accurate.

Asif Sayani, a Senior Neuroscience major said he understands a person's frame of mind when urinating in the shower.

"It just makes more sense," Sayani said. "Why not conserve water while you're at it? Plus with all the water flowing from the shower, it makes you want to pee anyway. As long as you aim for the drain, I'm your friend. Just don't play around with it on the floor."

Sophomore English Major Andrew Caouette wholeheartedly admitted that he is guilty of urinating while taking a shower. "I do, but not all the time," he said.

However, Caouette's initial response to the survey was one of disgust. The amount of people that the poll actually found was what got to him. He said that it was, "pretty nasty" that 75 percent of students studied answered in the affirmative. He, however, was not surprised.

"It's time efficient, and you see it all the time," he said. "You're washing your hair and you see a stream of yellow wash by, so you know the guy next to you is doing it."

Caouette even laughed about it, and told how urinating in the shower is a regular joke between he and his roommate.

"My roommate calls it 'peeing in the shower day," Caouette said. "He'll come back from taking a shower and say, 'hey, guess what day it is!'"

Some students did not find the results funny, but were actually repulsed by them. Lonna Steinberg, a senior Legal Studies major showed disgust and said, "It's a good thing I wear flip-flops."

Chris Henry, a sophomore English major said he does not urinate in the shower for a variety of reasons. "I have a schedule," he said. "I get up in the morning, I go to the bathroom, and then I take a shower. It's not that tough."

Henry also explained that living in Orchard Hill makes it more difficult for anyone to physically be able to do it anyway. The showers in Orchard Hill are only two side-by-side stalls with a central drain in the middle. Because of this, Henry explained that it would be much easier to actually urinate on someone else, and people seem to have the common courtesy to refrain from doing so.

"I actually don't think I've ever experienced anyone else peeing in the shower," he said.

According to medical reports published online, urinating in the shower can have its helpful effects, but is not encouraged. It can aid in the treatment of Athlete's Foot and genital Herpes. Also, the sound of a shower has been found in some people to actually trigger a psychological response to physically relieve oneself. University Health Services said it was unable to find actual evidence supporting any benefits to urinating in the shower.

Andrew S. Hazen said the poll comes as one of many on the company's site, marketed to college students in an attempt to use interesting polls of questions that he said people would not normally ask, to grasp interest. Some of the other polls the site has displayed were questions like, "Do you have a tattoo," or "Were you a high school bully?" Hazen said the bully question was remarkably interesting because most people refuse to acknowledge if they were the aggressor in violent or demeaning behavior towards others. "They just won't come out and say it, or admit to it," he said.

Hazen said that even though the site seems to have more absurd topics, it is something that a lot of work is primed into.

"Here in the office, we have weekly meetings to discuss what polls we are going to use," he said. "That idea [urinating in the shower] just happened to come up."

He said that the poll about urination partly came about because it could possibly lead to positive benefits.

"It's disgusting, and if it gets to the right person, who actually wants to make a difference, they could do something with it," he said. He compared it to the committee that sparked awareness about regularly checking your body for cancer years ago, which he claimed has shown remarkable success. He did say that no one has officially commented to him yet about the results aside from the online voting.

Hazen said that he ultimately reaches to educate and entertain at the same time. "The ultimate goal of this site is to make student's lives easier he said." Perhaps this means that one step to improving your life is to stop peeing in the shower.

You know when you go in the woods, aminals (espically(sp?) deer) like to come and lick the salt from the urine. So do like I do and be sure to go on either posion Ivy or thorny plants.

[Digger]

Studies of UMass students actually proved that a lot of people do go to the bathroom in the shower, possibly coming closer to proving the survey's results as accurate.
How did I know, before reading a word of this article, that UMASS would be prominently mentioned? It seems every time someone needs a school to beat up on it's UMASS. When I went there it had a terrible reputation as a party school, and as a place where radicals went (hence the nickname the "Happy Hippy Valley" - the place where Jimmy Carter's daughter got arrested along with Abby Hoffman). National stories were written about race relations at UMASS (Dan Rather did a long story on the "riot" that occured after the 1986 World Series loss by the Red Sox - eerily enough there was a nearly identicle story this year after the Red Sox beat the Oakland A's), and about drug use, binge drinking, suicide. Well, guess what? Most colleges have trouble with those things, not just UMASS. UMASS deserved some of that reputation, but not all of it. I could tell you some harrowing stories about life at UMASS, but I bet many of the same stories could be told by many others on this board about the school they went to. And I suppose the fact that this story was written by someone at the Collegian really shouldn't surpise me. They've always seemed to revel in the school's bad reputation. But regardless, I am sick to death of UMASS being portrayed in this way. :irate: :irate: :irate: :irate: :irate: :irate:

[fermicat]

I'm sure they pee in the shower at other schools....... :lol

[Digger]

I'm sure they pee in the shower at other schools.......
That's not the point fermicat. The point is that people feel free to write stories that put UMASS in a bad light. You almost never see a positive story about UMASS. Boston College, on the other hand, is fawned upon by the media. You'd think that BC was the state school and not UMASS.

How come we can't go to the bathroom and push it out all at once? Why does it have to be a seven day thing? Seems to me, it should work the same way as...like afterbirth. We should be able to just expel it, and then not have to deal with it for another month.

Better yet -- we should be able to delay it, like a sebacean pregnancy! And then we could avoid dealing with it at all, or at least not very often.

There have been some studies done in connection with taking birth control pills and why they keep the menstruation once a month schedule. It turns out there is really not a medical need to do it that way and some physicians favor a much less frequent break/menstration schedule for women taking BCP, like once every three months or so. If you are interested, I could probably dig up the references (but not tonight -- I got back from Atlanta very late last night and need to go to bed early tonight).

I've heard of that, but I'm wary because this is a pretty recent thing, and we don't really know the long term effects. Additionally, breast cancer is a pretty big health risk in my family, so I try not to mess around with my hormones more than I need to.

No, I just want to get it all out at once in a combination of uterine stregnth and sheer willpower.

[BlackThorn]

I'm looking into one of the new IUDs that's supposed to lessen pms symptoms (cramps, mood swings) and lessen if not stop periods. Lasts five years. Supposedly almost no side affects unless you have certain other problems. Since I sometimes get debilitating cramps, I'm definitely interested.

It's an internal device used to collect menstrual flow. It's reusable, sanitary and for many women it's quite comfortable.

Maybe the factory workers get freebies? I don't see what there is to get squeamish about. It's no big deal. People don't freak out about diapers, and those end up with far worse "deposits".

I have NEVER in my life sent a man to buy menstruation supplies. Not once. In return, I expect never to have to buy a man's jock itch products or anything similar.

I send the boyfriend sometimes, and he's good about it. Sometimes I start my period and forget that I've run out of pads, and I'm cramping and it hurts too much to go anywhere. He doesn't seem to mind.

But what was pretty funny was...when my boyfriend first met my parents he and my dad had to go grocery shopping together, while my mom and I ran another errand. And I knew I was going to start my period soon, so I asked them to pick up some pads. My boyfriend told me that when they got to that part on the list, my dad just looked at him and said, "Hey. That's your department now".

Actually my parents ADORE my boyfriend to the point that I often have to tell him that maybe THEY should just marry him if they love him so much.

Immature? Yes. But as much as I love my boyfriend, and like that my family likes him, I don't like that they believe that he can do no wrong...so that when he and I have disagreements, I must be doing something wrong.

Fortunately, he knows better than to feed into that.

Maybe when the returners call to ask about a refund, they're instructed to send it in a baggie? Not that they're bloody & gross after they've been rinsed.

Agreed. I don't think many people would return it after a full year of use. They'd know fairly quickly if they liked it or not. It takes a little practice to use it correctly, but once you know the tricks it is smooth sailing (and far less mess than with any other product).

My boyfriend always tells me that if I didn't want periods, I should have eaten that apple. And then he gets kicked. :D

Seriously though, I don't understand why people think periods are gross. They're something to deal with, they're not fun, they hurt certainly, but I don't think they're all that gross.

Yuk.

I think I can raise the bar a little higher. I went to this web-site......that someone recommended........

http://www.mum.org/director.htm


And, there are some incredible things I learned...........that women never used to use any sanitary products at all........in the olden days.

They just used to "bleed" into their clothing.

No wonder they wore those big skirts!!!

[AgentSun]

true...true...good new theory gaussian.

btw, you're all going to groan and shake your heads for this one but its bright and early on a saturday and i'd thought to let you know that i woke up to an unpleasant surprise.

so this basically means i'm going to feel sick the whole day today and then i'll be fine the rest of the week.

Awwwww...do you have a heating pad? I've found that can help.

[Gaussian]

That's another thing I've always wondered.........what did they do about cramps back in the olden days.......before all our wonderful modern wonders?

When I was a teen I used aspirin........but that wasn't that great. But, then I discovered ibuprofin.....and that saved my life. I can't imagine having nothing!!

There are some herbs that help, like the aptly-named "crampbark". And a warm compress is pretty low-tech.

Willow bark tea (precursor to aspirin). And how about the all time remedy of a shot of alcohol.

i dont really get cramps. my stomach just hurts the entire day and that's what happens until the second day where i feel fine.

i have found THE best solution though, to take your mind off the discomfort: go out and have fun with friends.

i was out the whole day with a few friends and we just had a good time.

[Lord Loser]

all I can say is ewwwwwwwwwwww (and I thought this thread couldn't get any worse)...

[Judith]

I remember the first time I got my period, I thought I was dying. My mom had had "the talk" with me...but...I don't know if this happened to other girls when they got their period the first time, but...it wasn't red. It was the wrong color. And I was staying at my grandma's house for a week. And I loved her...but I decided I would rather die than talk to her about...stuff coming out of me...there. So when she did laundry, I hid my underwear, and had to wait til I got home to talk to my mom about it. And of course my mom thought it was hilarious.

[Johnsgirl727]

Judy.....I'm afraid to even ask..........wrong color? :eh: Hmmm...mine was the "right" color, I guess....

Thanks for the list Fermicat. I can't tell you how many times I've been in need for a euphamism for the great egg expiration, and now I have so many.

I'll never forget the day my grandfather sat me and said "Boy..." that's what he called me, he said "Boy, never trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die." I think that's in The Bible somewhere... in the back.

Although there are certainly groups who "bleed into the ground" and would bury a placenta in the garden and such.

I don't know how accurate it is though...I'll keep look ing stuff up.

I do know that, similar to what is mentioned in the article there was a court case recently (last decade recently) involving a woman who ate the placenta, and whether that was canibalism or not. She was not found guilty.

I was at a job site when that song came on... and I was singing along to it... and an older gentleman... probably around 60 or so... looks at me and says... 'why do you know this song?'

I've had bad roommates before, and once you're out of that situation....you won't believe how much your life improves.

actually, i love both my roomates. the only issue is that one of my roomates has the horrid habit of leaving her drawers open. it's QUITE ANNOYING sometimes. and she hangs her purse on the door which means that its really hard to use the door when the knob is being constricted by a nylon bag!

me and my other roomate get along perfectly. this is exampled by the fact that we started talking 2 months before we both moved into the room.

the money isn't the problem, it's that i'm a freshman. i'm required to live on campus unless i'm entering college as a resident of the town...

Ah, are you all sharing the same room?

I shared a room with my best friend my freshman year. We got into fights over the stupidest stuff, because the space was so small. But she's still my best friend. And last year, when I lived in a house with her and three other girls, she and I got along really well, cause we each had our own room.

And when some of the other girls turned evil, we formed an alliance to spite them.

I know it isn't that way for everyone.

When I went in for my six week checkup after having my son there were two women talking about all of their miscarriages. I remember thinking that this pregnancy thing is not a forgone conclusion.

I have been incredibly fortunate...........two pregancies..........two live births. (Granted.....they were c-sections........but hey you can't have everything.)


Believe me.........I do count myself lucky. Especially, when I look into the faces of my two "little rascals". (My son is 9 and my daughter is almost 7.)

[fermicat]

3 miscarriages, no kids.

Enjoy 'em if you are lucky enough to have 'em. At least I get to experience motherhood vicariously through my brother and sisters. Being an aunt is fun, but it isn't the same. But we don't get to pick and choose our medical condition -- at least I am healthy in other ways. I'm grateful for what I have.

I'm not biased or anything.:D



I must say this thread has gotten me thinking.

Especially, the historical web-site.

Reproductive and sanitary practises from past centuries are shrouded in msytery........cause nobody ever talked about these things.

And, we are so used to our "modern" world and take it for granted that things have always been done the same way.

It's amazing to think what we take for normal every day living was so different.........possibly only a hundred years ago.

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, he gave me a box of chocolates. I thought it was sweet and didn't want to hurt his feelings, so whenever someone came over, I'd always offer them some chocolate, so the levels in the box would look like they were consistantly going down.

I don't think the period talk is too much of a stretch.

My parents have dogs, and whenever I visit them I have to remember to shut the bathroom door when I'm on my period. Otherwise they go after the pads in the trash. I think there is very little more disgusting than pulling a partially chewed-up, used pad from your golden retreiver's slimey mouth.

Like...I had a mom and two sisters so my dad was out numbered. So he should have put the seat down. Even though he didn't. (Even though when I was a kid I took a permanent marker and wrote "Hey! Put me down! :mad:" underneath all the toilet seats. He didn't think it was funny.:grr: )

Because of the shake. That's why you never want to put that supid rug around the toilet. Also why you never want to step on it.

JS, your BF must use the pull technique... while not effective as the shake it is still practiced in some areas of the country. Just rememer: if you shake it more than twice you're playing with yourself.

You know what I have a deep and abiding hatred for? Fuzzy toilet seat covers.

It just seems like a part of the house that shouldn't be upholstered.

And it won't stay clean for long. I make it a point not to keep things in the bathroom that don't wipe clean.

Vote Stellar, vote often.

[generic_screenname]

Yes! Why do fuzzy toliet seat covers exsist? That's just asking for trouble. Plus...sometimes the stream splits in like two or three different directions. It's like a shower head. Some of it makes it in, some hits the wall, the rest runs down your leg. I can tell you it's a lot easier going at night that first thing in the morning...

Been there... peed on that.

And Now from Left Field...

Sung to the tune of a certain bathtime song:

Rubber Keeper You're The One,
Who Makes My Period Fun!

Well, OK, maybe not fun, but at least tolerable.
But "tolerable" doesn't rhyme, nor does it scan.
Hmmm...perhaps....

Rubber Keeper Though You're Full,
You MAke My Period Tol-er-a-ble!

Rubber Keeper, You're the One!

I can excuse it because everything else my dad does is completely considerate of other people. I guess he's allowed to have one flaw.

Both my boyfriend and I are trying to train ourselves to put the entire lid down. It's more sanitary, plus the cats don't try to drink from it (sometimes they fall in).

Hey, if you had class, would you hang out at a thread entitled "Pees in shower"?

Wow. I missed quite the exchange last night. I didn't log on because I was having a personal "24 marathon" after finally finding season one, disks 2,3, and 4 on the shelf at the video store. I'd been waiting over a week for the dang things after watching disk 1. But I digress.......

OK, this is getting back to the original topic sort of, sans shower.

How many people read stuff in the bathroom? How many do some serious reading in there? How many store reading material near the toilet?

I don't read in the bathroom, normally. My philosophy is that if you have to sit there waiting for something to happen long enough to need reading material, then you didn't really need to go that bad. Go away and come back later, when you really have to go. You'll be done in a flash! The exception is if you are, ahem, "sick" and need a little extra time because of it.

[stellar]

I read Les Miserables exclusively in the bathroom. It took me 8-months.

I'm presently working on Don Quiote.

It's a chick thing!

I think the responses will reveal that more men than women read in the bathroom. Maybe it is because men seem to have a "regularly scheduled time" to do their business? You men will have to clue us in on this phenomenon.

D.S.B. -- ask your bf, if he doesn't know, someone on this board will tell you later.

[fermicat]

C'mon guys....... fess up! We all know you do it.
:whisper:

[stellar]

Do what?

[Judith]

I'm a girl...I read in the bathroom.

I have a very short attention span. I get bored in there!

Although I try not to do it when other people are over...cause sometimes I get so sucked into a book that if I did they would think I died or something.

Yep. Been there.

I read in the bathroom all the time. I keep all of my best mags in the bathroom. Besides, with two kids, sometimes it's the only time I get to myself.

I have to say, though..........the hubster does it too. Sometimes, he'll have disappeared ............and that's where I find him.

We joke a lot about the "library".

But, truthfully it's awful boring if you don't have any reading material. I have to make sure I rotate my mags.........cause I hate to have to read the same ones over and over.

How about reading in the tub?

That's MY favorite place to read. I read the entirety of Dune: The Machine Crusade, in one soak. Filled the tub to the overflow drain, had a couple of hard ciders next to the tub, and spent the better part of the next eight hours mostly submerged. Except for the occasional pit stop or trip to the fridge for more hard cider.

You would be amazed at just what can get pruny. Not just your fingers and toes, if you give it enough time. Reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes where they talk about a "Boy Missing & Giant Pink Raisin Found in Bathtub".

In my case, that would be an albino raisin. With a respectable blood alcohol level to top it off.

[Judith]

I love reading in the bathtub.

I just wish I could waterproof my books.

[Mrelia]

That's why I buy cheap (usually used) copies of my favorite re-read endlessly books so I have one to read in the tub/while traveling/or loan out.

[grinner]

I usually have a stack of car magazines and books in the bathroom... that is quality reading time.

[Darth Buddha]

I too often consign the paperback version to loaner status.

My favorite books always get bought in hardcover.

Actually, at one point my apartment had a tub that was 6-feet....

Discovered that the reading thing was even better with company. No salaciousness whatsoever.

But one hell of a bonding behavior. Right up there with napping together.

[grinner]

I once lived in a house that had a 7 foot long clawfoot tub. You could fill it with 2.5 feet of water before it hit the overflow drain. I tried really hard to buy it from the owner of the house when I moved. It was the FIRST tub that I could lay out in... and still be covered with water. Oh I loved soaking in that tub... especially with company... mmmm good times.

Napping with someone is great. Before...oh, this is going to sound weird...before my boyfriend and I actually started dating...we were really close friends...we slept next to each other a couple of nights.

Actually, that's how he got me to agree to a date. Waited til I was just drifiting off and asked me.

I know it sounds weird, but the sleeping next to each other before we actually knew if we were gonna date each other...it would still make my top ten list of things we've done together.

Ah well, here goes . . .

DSB, also known as MSB by some: Deadly Sperm Buildup (Massive Sperm Buildup.) Never heard PSB, but I'm guessing that's P for Painful? The theory that not ejaculating often enough leads to buildup of sperm which frells with the brain and leads to all sorts of "dangerous" side affects.

[Lord Loser]

Close enough. P would be Poison...

[BlackThorn]

Ah, none of the guys I've hung out with ever used that one, but it makes sense.

Although they have never said anything about it "messing with the brain", the urologists I type for do subscribe to this train of thought. I have heard them more than once telling a man that he is not having as much sex as he should be and that that is the cause of his urological problems....they have never used the DSB, MSB or PSB acronyms though. :D

And I'm flattered, we've never met, but you already assume it takes me two hands to accomplish such a task... :ewink:

I'm sorry, but this discussion has me thinking of that scene in "Suns and lovers".........where Aeryn and John are discussing "fluid levels"...........and how he can relieve his own "buildup"......all by himself..........with his two hands.

See "Farscape" covers most subjects.
