42 Percent Of Americans Pee In The Shower - 7 Percent Never Bathe

PISCATAWAY, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- Urine trouble now. According to a new survey, at least four out of every 10 Americans pee while taking a shower.

According to a shower survey sponsored by VertiSpa, 42 percent urinate while bathing, certainly pissing off the 58 percent who don't.

That's not the only stat splashed from the shower study. The average shower is 101 degrees Fahrenheit and uses nearly 50 gallons of water.

-- 52 percent of Americans sing in the shower, with "Singin' In The Rain" being the top tune.

-- 53 percent of people shower in the morning, while 29 percent wait until evening.

-- Finally, the scariest stat of all: 7 percent of Americans claim they never bathe at all.

Uh oh! If the French ever find out what "bathe" means,

At least 98% of the French pee while in the tub.

By a curious coincidence, 49% of Americans identify themselves as Democrat and/or Liberal...

Depending on how the question was asked, I may actually be part of that 7%. While I never bathe, I do shower daily.

[Auntbee]

Nope. Just the shower!

[BrooklynGOP]

Wonder what percent I am in, I pee in the shower when I am not bathing? Saves water, you know.

What's the temperature? :P

Heh :)

It had to come from PISCATAWAY? LOL

They should have broken out their survey results by gender. This is a need-to-know issue.

FrPR: a schmuck is someone who doesn't use the pullchain facility before getting in the shower!

I'm sure michael moore falls into the 7%. At 350+ lbs, he probably cannot find a bathtub or shower large enough to fit into.

Quark - say it isn't so! When I read this I thought the entire 42% were guys! You are moving toward the Dark Side. Now river tubing, that's another story.

Don't these people have toilets?

[Chewbacca]

Peeing in the shower? That's childs play.
I have urinated in the snow that melts and drains into the city drinking water.

"At least 98% of the French pee while in the tub."

Lewis Grizzard had a great line about taking baths:

"The shower is the greatest invention. I don't like to take a bath. I don't like to wash my face in the water I've been sitting in."

[Auntbee]

Crossed over a long time ago!!

[ShadowDancer]

You people have a really screwed up sense of what belongs in News and what belongs in Chat.

[gunnedah]

The 7% figure I believe is quite low. Looking around Boston and basing it on percentages I would say 20% of the Democrats never bath.
Michael Moore probably never baths over twice a month and only does that much because it goes to getting next to him!
