    It’s better to piss in the shower than to shower in the piss.

    It’s better to shit in the sink than to sink in the shit.

        3/4 to 1 and 1/2 canteens per hour per day is the recommendation for soldiers working in inclement weather, and even piss that clear wouldn’t get me pissing in the shower.

      If you’ve ever pissed on a campfire after eating asparagus, no piss related vapors will ever faze you again.

      Ask me how I know.

        Roasting fresh asparagus over a wood fire? Nice.

        Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and coarse ground salt.

        I’m always there, lurking in the shower.

        I was really surprised about the response. I posted it right before going to bed and was too tired in the morning to respond. As you didn’t know what I was referring to let me clarify: You know how there’s water vapor all around you when you shower? You can see it on your mirror if ventilation in your bathroom is insufficient. If you now take a piss in the shower, and especially if there’s warm water in you tub that didn’t drain yet, some of the piss will also be vaporized. It’s probably more accurate to say it mixes with the vapor. I can smell that and it’s not amazing.

        The response tells me not everyone experiences this. That’s probably a combination of me not drinking enough while also enjoying very hot showers with the water not draining fast enough.

        I respect your curiosity and hope your life can now continue. Enjoy your next shower.

          It’s not just that the phenomenon isn’t familiar to my experience, it doesn’t even theoretically correspond to physics as I understand it. Probably you know the things I’m about to say and are speaking informally, but for clarity and to establish common vocabulary I’m going to nail some stuff down according to science.

          You can’t see water in its vapour form. You can see when vapour condenses back into tiny liquid droplets in midair (fog, mist, or colloquially “steam” but not really steam) or on cold surfaces (like when it fogs or “steams up” a mirror).

          Water vapour can’t carry substances with it when it goes through the phase transition from liquid to vapour. Anything that is dissolved in the liquid water remains behind as residue. When water vapour condenses back into liquid, it is pure water. This is how distillation works. Piss is just water with stuff dissolved in it. If you evaporate piss and then condense the vapour in a separate container, you get pure water.

          (Things get complicated when there is something dissolved in the water that has a similar vapour pressure, like alcohol or solvents, but those shouldn’t be present in your urine.)

          I think maybe you just have pee that has an unusual or unusually strong odour, and the hot, continuously agitated water makes the smell more obvious than when you use a toilet or urinal. But the scent doesn’t mean you are being bathed in piss vapour, it’s just a normal smell.

            Ah, I see. Yes, I was too loose with the terminology. It was oversimplified and exaggerated for comic effect. But I can see now how that can be difficult to decipher. You won, I concede.

    Toilet is easier to flush. Unless I’m actually showering at the time, I’d much rather use the toilet than the shower.

    My mother in law used the old English saying to explain an uptight / unfun person “they don’t even pee in the shower” in conversation. My mother was incredulous “WHAT? People pee in the shower?!” the other dozen people in the room were like “um, yeah, that’s normal” and she instantly thought we were all gross, and then switched to being extremely called out. That was a fun Christmas

    Some places collect grey water and use it for flushing toilets. Adding urine to the grey water makes it smelly.

        Greywater (or grey water, sullage, also spelled gray water in the United States) refers to domestic wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, i.e., all streams except for the wastewater from toilets. Sources of greywater include sinks, showers, baths, washing machines or dishwashers.

        Any water that drains from sinks, showers, or tubs is grey water. Offices, schools, and government buildings here(Canada) do it to save water.

    Nothing hits quite the same as your pee running down your leg while you’re trying to get clean
