    did any one else hear about how poeple are encouraging people to pee in the shower to save water as we waste up to 8 gallons of water from one flush, would this encourage you do pee in the shower

    That is disgusting. I don't care how much water it saves, it isn't worth it to have to use a shower someone else has used as a toilet. There are much easier and efficient ways to save water than to stop using the toilet. This is just gross -_-

    You just walk out of your house, go to the nearest forest, *do the thing you want to do now*, then you go back to your home.
    Or you just sit on your toilet, grab a good magazine and relax :p

    :lol: Make sure you take a shovel if your business requires more than liquids o_O

    I have heard about this and it makes me wonder how many people actually do this already, not considering it saves water... I'm not saying it's not gross, but just curious.

    I just looked it up, and one website had a survey where 78% said they pee in the shower on a regular basis. Only 6% said they never pee in the shower. I think that's just nasty :nope:

    Well I think you're a little baby! You shower with soap, right? So then when you rinse, soap gets all on the bottom of the shower, cleaning it. So you piss first, clean yourself, and the shower will be clean too.

    I don't think body soap is made to clean pee from the bottom of the shower. And I guess for me it's not so much the fact that the shower is dirty, it's just that the thought of people peeing in my shower grosses me out. I want my shower to be clean.

    Two ways to avoid getting dirty after a quick leak in the shower.
    1) Don't piss on yourself. If you don't do that, there's no reason for any part of your body to get "dirty" other than maybe the soles of your feet. That's not so bad, now it is?
    2) Don't wallow at the bottom of your piss covered shower.
    I'll wait a moment while those images sink in. Now, on to the subject at hand. I pee in the shower at every chance possible. Not in efforts to save water, but out of sheer convenience. Toilet lids are just too heave to lift every single time you have to urinate.

    Err, I'm good with using the toilet and not peeing in the shower. I have to agree with some of the people above, the idea is just kind of gross.

    But some good things I do: I take quick showers & while I'm brushing my teeth, I keep the faucet off. [:<

    for me i dont think it would save much water because i would then spend longer in the shower making sure that my feet and the bath tube are clean :)

    The water dripping on you just makes you have to go more... I don't see anything wrong with it... just aim for the little hole and everything is good.

    Here's a compromise; install water efficient shower heads and then pissing in the toilet won't be so bad.

    My families mostly guys but I think I would rather flush collectively (ie. leave your number 1 in there till the next person needs to go) than have us all peeing in the shower. I'd rather not do either though, I'd just make sure I don't shower for too long rather than try this as a solution.

    If we all did it in the long-run it'd probably stain and become a bit of an awkward discussion with anyone who ever needed to use our shower. XD
