It might not be easy to admit, but a lot of people pee in the shower. In fact, a 2020 survey by Showers to You found that 76% of people let loose in the cubicle.

Didn’t some bigwig in Sweden recommend peeing in the shower to save a flush and a bit of mother gaia’s precious water resources? It was deemed patriotic.
And yes, I proudly pee in the shower, but only if I have to go. It’s not like a fetish or anything.
That actually worked for me in high school.
(By the same token, no one should pee in the tub either, cause no one wants to turn into a yellow-bellied sapsucker, either!)
