Any further comment Cecilia?

:-D

and peeing in a shower is "bad" because..........?

..there is usually a purpose made device, commonly called a lavatory, toilet, bog etc. not far from the shower. Urinating in the shower is woefully lazy, not to mention inconsiderate if others need to use it.

Maybe you have a different shower than me. :-?
Mine has water constantly flooding down, washing away soap, grime, dead skin cells, and pee (if it happens).

Nope, that sounds about right. Except for the pee part. Like I said, right tool for the job. A shower is for getting clean, not draining your bladder :-)

Would you pee in your kitchen sink if it was closer than your lavatory? After all, if you run the taps the whole time, it isn't any different than your description of the shower, is it?

plus, one can also - may the ghods help us!!! - actually WASH the shower!!!!!  :-o  :-o  :-o

Yep, you should do that anyway :-D

there is, of course, another possible issue here: maybe she was trying to get YOU in the shower by telling you this story?
  :lol:

:lol: kinky...

Karlos! It's been too long...

:banana:

Now, I read in a book... possibly 'Fast Food Nation'... that because of the dirty conditions in slaughter houses and the speed of the production line, meat-eaters end up with more fecal contamination in your kitchen sink than in your toilet bowl.

:-o

Oooh...Actually, a cousin worked in one and I can quite believe there's some truth to the claim. I *always* wash the meat I buy quite thoroughly before doing anything with it.

Still, if one did use ones sink in the manner suggested, you'd end up with the problem wether you are a meat eater or not :lol:

[cecilia]

you do realize that urine - as soon as it exits from the body - has no germs in it. assuming, of course that the body it just inhabited is healthy.

there is only a problem if it sits around. and that doesn't happen in MY shower.

LOL!  Thanks for clarifying that!  

I've conducted a quick straw poll in the office here and a majority of 2:1 agree that whizzing in the shower is grim.  The 1/3rd minority stated exactly the same arguement as you.

Interestingly, most of the shower-whizzing culprits were female, so maybe it's something that women do more than men?

Maybe I'm a little too prudish for my own good but I am of the personal opinion that toilet activities should be solely confined to the lavatory - unless of course the tub is full to bursting and you're a considerable distance from the nearest WC.

I had heard this before.  I've never real 'Fast Food Nation', but it's one reassuring fact that's justifying my new year's resolution to give up red meat for good.

I wonder how many can constrain themselves when having a crapping urge under the shower.....

 :nervous:

Hmm, maybe if you read up about the bad things that happen to vegetables you'll give up vegetables...

Wrt to urine - fresh urine (provided the host is reasonably healthy) can be used as a cleaning agent on wounds.

Classic misinformation.

true or not... think about what vegetables grown in. Always wash vegatables very well before you cook them.

Also remember that Vegatables are never generally cooked above 100C where are Meat tends to be cooked at around 200C.

Logic will prevail :-)

some years ago when I was asked to make some tartan images for a web site (and I was using DPAINT to do this, btw) I did some research on the making of real tartans and found out that urine had been used in the preparation of the wool.

http://www.kinnaird.net/tartan.htm

"Originally the Highlanders used only the natural shades of the sheeps' wool - black, brown or white - in the designs of their tartan cloth. Later they employed a range of leaves, berries, bark and lichens as natural dyes to develop cloth patterns involving many colours. The birch tree, for instance, produced yellow; while the alder produced black or brown; heather gave orange; the crowberry or blaeberry, purple; the bramble, blue; and the flower of tormentil, red. [color=FF0000]Urine[/color] -fual or graith in Gaelic - was used as a source of ammonia to deepen and intensify colours and to remove grease. Before the dyeing was completed the wool was always washed and a mordant (from the Latin verb, mordere, 'to bite') was added to make the dye permanent. The substance used was often the salt of alum, copper or chrome, and iron mordanting was obtained from black peat bogs."

cool, heh! :-D

And when sitting the aerosols are stopped by your bum, not sure what is more disgusting ;-).

You know.....pubic hair can be quite annoying. Do you ever get that when wearing briefs the hair gets stuck between the foreskin and the top end of the device itself.....and when you need to take a pee you yank it out, only to discover you painfully force the hairs to leave their precious position.

LOL! Classic ... I hate it when that has *happened* after weeing (say when I am out somewhere), I usually "pull back" to go hence suffer some "rollback". Later on if I start to get a hard on there is a Tom 'n' Jerry worthy 'ping-ping-ping-ping' sensation. Before anyone says anything... I have extremely LONG pubic hair.  :-)

Which reminds me - perhaps I need:

Err, I couldn't resist the temptation to post this in response.
