    I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.

    But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

      Look up a product called Thrift. You can get it on Amazon. It’s a type of flake drain cleaner, comes in a bottle. Basically run your shower on super hot for a few minutes to heat up the pipe, then pour a bunch of this stuff down, and a bit more hot water. Leave it alone for a few minutes, then flush with hot water. Unlike Drano, this stuff actually works. Originally I found it on a plumbing subreddit. I’ve done it to my shower a few times and it seems to have a longer lasting effect every time, like it’s actually cleaning out the pipe.

    I’ve done plumbing work before, it’s all pipes, people. Piss to your heart’s content, you’re not hurting anything

        In any country, I would think.

        Even where grey water systems are deployed for water re-use, shower water /is/ normally collected, but piss would be so diluted as to be a negligable contaminant. A shower uses roughly 70 litres of water. An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable.

        Piss away.

          That’s not even what I’m criticizing. You said you’ve done pipe jobs, and it’s all pipes: you can only attest for where you have worked

          And no, in some places water may be used very differently. Pee may contain a lot of unwanted chemicals, especially when the person is medicated

          Edit: In cities in western countries of course most of the time it’s all going to the same place. But I don’t think that’s why it’s taboo to pee in the shower. It’s because it’s seen as unhealthy for the other people using the shower / bathtub

            How would it be unhealthy? Do you not wash your ass in the shower? Does spit and snot not come out of your body in the shower?

      Strange story for you… I had very bad athletes foot for many years. All the off the shelf powders and creams didn’t help at all. Someone told me to pee on my feet to cure it, I didnt believe them but tried it anyways. Worked amazingly quickly. Occasionally I do it still but not all the time. Haven’t had athletes foot in over 25 years… I’m so sorry for the story. 😂

      And this is why all of Dave’s neighbors have learned to securely lock down their entire house before taking a shower.

    There are two types of people in the world. People who pee in the shower and those that lie about not peeing in the shower.

    I did once and the next day i could hear my roommate shrubbing the bathtub with some cleaning utensil … so i guess it smelled and he was sensitive to it? But i couldn’t smell anything, idk.

    Of course, and occasionally I also poop in the shower. It’s always funny to stomp it down the drain.
