There are 2 kinds of people, people who pee in the shower and liars.
I’ve done plumbing work before, it’s all pipes, people. Piss to your heart’s content, you’re not hurting anything
in your country*
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?
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.
Snake ur drain bby <3
Have you cleaned out your drain?
shower yes, bath no
Hot tub?
anything chlorinated is fair game
Depends on the dilution rate.
Hot tubs are way too finnicky for that you should not be peeing in them!!!
There was a campaign in Brazil urging people to pee in the shower to save water.
The shower is the only place i pee and as for poo, well that’s a story for another time…
I pee into my neighbor’s shower
Only when their bathroom window is open
Of course, and occasionally I also poop in the shower. It’s always funny to stomp it down the drain.
Found the waffle stomper.
I know it’s a running gag on the internet but I unironically think there’s someone who actually does this
Not in my shower. But in other people’s, sure.
And this is why all of Dave’s neighbors have learned to securely lock down their entire house before taking a shower.
No!
Never trust anyone who doesn’t pee in the shower!
I feel less bad about peeing in the shower now.
That’s why we’re here
Yes, it saves water
I’m pretty sure the US army used to recommend peeing on your own feet in the shower to reduce athlete’s foot.
crouch low to the drain to minimize splashing
