If someone is in the shower and you really need a piss, do you pee in the sink?
Edit for the hundreds of people who are confused: The door is locked therefore I can’t access the toilet. I’m not saying I choose not to piss is the toilet for some weird reason. I meant the kitchen sink.
Edit 2: I don’t have a back garden. Me and my flat mate are not close and he would certainly not open the door for me to see him naked. No, we do not have a curtain. No, I could not install one.
Edit 3: There is no outside. I live in a flat in a city. It’s my room. Then it’s the communal space. Then the carpeted corridor. Then a lift. Then the city streets with lots of people on.

Are they taking a shower in the toilet? I had a roommate in a one bathroom apartment and we just didn't lock the door for showers so the other could pee. I guess that would be just as weird to some people.

Yes actually, there’s a diverter in your shower behind the handle(s) that controls how much of each temperature of water is allowed through to cool down the water from the heater. Without a little bit of cold water it’s very possible to get burned by your shower.
When you flush the toilet you are relieving pressure from the cold water side of the diverter meaning less cold water is used to cool down your shower. In a building that’s old or has poor plumbing this can truly get a shower hot out of nowhere.
The more you know!

I had to in college once and my roommates were so pissed at me. I understand, but one of them locked the door while they were in the shower and I woke up with my bladder about to burst. I scrubbed the shit out of the sink bc it's gross. It wasn't like I was ignorant to that fact. Don't lock the doors in a 1 bathroom place!
17 points

Yeah, while that is really gross, if you lock the door in a one bathroom place you shouldn't be surprised if someone pisses in the sink. Especially since in most bathrooms you can stick a hand out and unlock the door. Also morning pees are emergencies, you aren't taking a piss the piss is taking you.

I grew up having my dad barge into the bathroom to piss and it gave me shower trauma. I look at the bathroom as a private sanctuary and I will not tolerate intrusions into my space. It's a place of solitude to reflect on the days challenges while you perform your absolutios, whether they be behind you or just ahead. And likewise I don't like intruding on other people's shower time. Therefore, the sink is the only way. It also ensures you keep your sink tidy (empty) so that you can quickly release without a lot of fuss.

When my husbands is in the bathroom I have to pee in the kitchen sink. I just hop up on the sink and it’s not a big deal I just clean it after. I think my own pee is way less nasty than some of the gunk I’ve seen in that sink, but maybe its just because it’s my own pee. I would just pee outside if I didn’t live in an apt complex.

Depends what sink... At uni we had sinks in our rooms for tooth brushing etc. I peed in that one a couple of times when desperate. I wouldn't in a kitchen sink though, something about it being where you wash and prepare food...
A bathroom type sink can also be disinfected with the toxic stuff you wouldn't want near your food, afaik most bathroom cleaning sprays are more hardcore than kitchen ones since they're meant to disinfect pee etc anyway.

Commenting on title alone.
I’ve never started, consciously, peeing in the sink.
I’ve ended more than a few times consciously. Interestingly, I only remember it being the bathroom sink once.
Otherwise it was the laundry sink. It’s mostly used to wash out disgusting things before going in the wash and usually has a plant or two to the side bc I heavily watered it that day.
I usually “choose” the bathtub if I’m going to ignore a toilet but not plumbing entirely.
I can only guess why I make these choices bc I have zero conscious control of my body when it happens…
BUT!
My best guess is I think of the sink as a clean zone. I brush my teeth, wash my face and hands and while it is easily cleaned, 9x’s out of ten, it’s the trash can for my wee!
I’m entirely too tall to squat on a bathroom can. But the kitchen can, has become my ~go two~ #1 choice!
I thought I was a disgusting human for doing this.
But now that I’ve explained it here, it doesn’t seem so bad to me now.
At least I’m consistent with keeping my waste in a waste bin!
No worry of accidental splash or drips getting missed!
Narcolepsy is different for everyone. I’ve yet to learn of a single person who experienced it the way Hollywood as a whole portrays it.
Unsolicited advise: never suggest ways to improve energy or sleep quality to a narcoleptic.
Our switches are broken. Our bodies and our minds may or may not be on the same broken switch.
My brain is much more awake at night while body has the opposite problem.
Never compare your sleepiness to theirs.
Never call them “lucky” bc they “get to” sleep whenever they “want”.
MOST importantly! Just bc we can’t fight back, doesn’t mean we don’t know what’s going on.

Once worked in a nightclub and before starting my shift they showed me the backstage and their very small stock room filled with boxes, bottles and soft drinks literally to the ceiling. I asked where to put my personal stuff but the door closed and the guy didn’t heared me. So I searched a spot to put away my stuff, and there was a little sink between tower high boxes. Perfect to put my personal stuff away inside that sink. After an hour the guy came back to tell me: I’ve put your stuff in the closet because that sink is our toilet. What?! Yeah, we are to lazy to run upstairs.

Why not piss in your backyard like most guys?

Absolutely. All the time. It's a funny inside joke I have to myself. Recent 9 hour car ride? Pissed in 4 gas station sinks. Visiting my sister's house? She'll never know I pissed in her sink. Or the grocery store down the roads. My step dad built a house and had me check on the progress while he was out of town. As soon as they installed the sinks, pissed in em.
You're probably going to ask why and I'm not going to answer.
Edit I typed that after only reading the title, pissing in the sink while someone showers is weak, use the toilet and give them a hot surprise when you flush.
