I do it sometimes, particularly in large showers. It's nice sometimes to just pee without having to aim at all. Also when I have to go a little and I'm too wet to walk over to the toilet. It supposedly helps curtail athelete's foot, though I don't know how much stock I put in that.

I don't do it in pools, in case you were wondering.

Excellent thread.

While I rarely rarely actually do it, I have absolutely nothing against peeing in the shower. Urine is a pretty harmless substance if you don't have an STD.

Exception: One time our toilet was broken for a bit and my brother and I eagerly and repeatedly peed in our shower. At the time my bro changed his facebook status to something like, "Michael Welch no longer pees in the shower for fun, but from necessity."

Additional fun facts:
  • You can keep re-drinking your urine up to about five times before you deplete the useful water content. Remember this the next time you're stranded without water.
  • If you're being mustard gassed, you can help survive by peeing on a rag and wrapping it around your face to breathe through. Remember this the next time you're sent back in time to World War I.

I'm an advocate of peeing in the shower for several reasons: First, it's economically friendly as it conserves toilet water. Second, it's convenient. Third, it cures every ailment from Athlete's Foot to brain cancer. Fourth, it leaves your hands free and thus promotes multitasking. Any questions?

As I'm not an athlete by any stretch, there are approximately zero reasons for me to ever pee in the shower.

It appears you understand as much about athlete's foot as Tv_Themes understands about WarioWare.

But the same about goes for everyone else, because I don't think peeing on your feet does jack to prevent disease.

I can't prove a negative. You have the burden of proof here. Start by explaining what in urine kills the athlete's foot bacteria and how it acts so quickly that a trickle of urine in the midst of a streaming shower still gets the job done.

In other news,

In honor of this thread, I am going to try drinking my own urine. I will film the process and post it here.

It was a light hearted joke highlighting the fact that the preceding sentence was meant to be taken sarcastically.

EDIT: After Lizard Dude's harsh words for me, I promptly looked up urine therapy and athlete's foot for further research, and it turns out he is correct. I'm not sure where I heard it from, but they were wrong. Peeing on your feet cannot cure or prevent athlete's foot. Thus, I will now stop ****ing on my feet in the shower, since I don't find it at all fun or enjoyable.

That, and even if it did hypothetically have health benefits, I don't think my brother or any other relatives who's showers I would pee in would be thrilled to hear about it.

I hate explaining humor (attempts), but to prevent this thread from becoming any more of a cock-up:


1) N64 Chick posts to say that regardless of whether girl pee is actually grodier or not, it doesn't matter because she showers thoroughly and no urine would remain anyway.

2) Luigison makes a joke about how a girl showering thoroughly could be arousing by referencing the age-old cliche of thinking about baseball to distract the mind from sexual matters.

3) Due to the sentence of N64 Chick's post that Luigison quoted happening to contain a typo changing "thorough" into "through" which sounds like "throw" which you do in baseball, she misunderstands what Luigison was talking about and takes umbrage at him bringing it up. If you've ever seen L'son in the chatroom, you'd know he'd never make fun of someone else's writing mistakes. ;)

4) Brian also doesn't know what baseball means.

Oh, didn't even notice that.  It's probably better that you thought that was what I meant anyway. 

Shadow, she is referring to the difference between through and thorough and how the former sounds like threw.  As in, I walked through my bosses door, threw my resignation letter on his desk, and gave a very thorough list of my grievances. 

I was actually thinking of baseball in an attempt to not think about a 23 year-old female doing a thorough job of cleaning a particular area of her anatomy in the shower. 

Edit:  I spent time writing this before LD posted.  His answer is more eloquent, but I'm posting this anyway.

Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing. Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. The word "tomography" is derived from the Greek tomos (slice) and graphein (to write). Computed tomography was originally known as the "EMI scan" as it was developed at a research branch of EMI, a company best known today for its music and recording business. It was later known as computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) and body section röntgenography.

Aside from that, "CT" is also short for "Custom Title", which refers to the text under some users' names. For instance, mine is "memed and beaten". They're noteworthy for being equal parts condescending and uncannily accurate.
