    I only did that when I was in Iraq the first time, and that's because we didn't have flush toilets available OR water to flush with.

    Peeing off one of my porches saves even more than peeing in the shower

    Even if you leave the shower to pee off of the porch? Hope you turn the shower off while gone, otherwise it would use much more water.

    This is why I never sit on nature. No idea who's bodily fluids id be Sitting on. :s

    But pee is sterile. lol

    EDITED: Ok, maybe not. A lot of people still think it is though. lol I always thought that was a weird concept anyway.

    This is the fcuking reason I got warts on my feet maybe when I used to shower in the gym.

    These days I just don't shower in the gym at all. Always at home. And I don't pee in the shower. I don't like seeing my feet immersed in yellow water. You weirdos! ;)

    warts are caused by viruses/bacteria not pee

    Shower shoes...I always wear flip flops if I am showering at a gym, campground,etc.

    From what I understand, the pee by itself is sterile but once it leaves the body through your urinary meatus (pee hole) then it is exposed to bacteria, making it not sterile anymore.

    Of course I pee while the shower isn't going.

    I'd assume most watch where they're shooting when they pee in the shower, so for 15-60 seconds of concentration I could be saving those precious seconds and instead staring out across the field yawning with my hands in the air looking for deer across a dewy meadow.

    So yes, saves water over peeing in the shower. 10 seconds (low concentration estimate) at 2.3 gpm x 365 showers/year is 134 gallons per year. (365 assumes I'm gone some days of the year and includes 1 shower per day and days I have to mow, or cut up firewood/down trees).

    I'm anal...I wouldn't stand barefoot in a public shower (gym etc) just for this reason! At home, it's fair game...my pee, my germs :p

    This is probably the worst way to start a sentence when the topic is being naked in the shower and urination.. A persons mind races to try to connect the dots ..."I'm anal"

    My fiancé does that. If were chilling enjoying the evening over a few drinks outside in the evening on our patio, he won't waste a few steps to the house, he will just pee outside...LOL!! And back to the chatting we go..LOL!!

    I feel like such a jerk for peeing in the toilet before showering.

    I peed outside behind a bush the other day on a hike, though. That's pretty good, too, right?
