The Pee Pee Poll: Do You Pee In The Pool?

pee in the poolWhile browsing around on the internet (hey, it’s the the only way to spend the day when you’ve still got the spins from the night before), I stumbled across this little tidbit from CNN.com:  apparently peeing in the pool grosses people out AND can be detrimental to your health. Oh, and 17% of people polled still do it.


By Katie

After countless summers as an essentially aquatic creature in my childhood, I know my way around a pool.  You can always tell which kid has the potential to use your watery paradise as their personal toilet.  And by “which kid,” I mean all kids.  Hell, I’ll admit, I’ve raised the temperature in a pool or two (I was young, okay??).  What I didn’t do was go swimming with diarrhea (grossgrossgrossgross), or drink the pool water (hey, I was peeing in it, why would I drink it??), or do any of the other things that health officials warn against.

In my day, peeing in the pool got you a shrill “ewwwww” from the rest of your playmates, but then you moved on and kept playing Marco Polo or whatevs until the next one of you decided that drying off, running to the bathroom and then trying to pull that wet one-piece back up was far too much work.  Gross? Yes, but apparently not gross enough to keep people from doin’ the in-the-pool-pee-pee.

So, we want do know: do you pee in the pool? Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.

    Urine is sterile and that's why they have chlorine. Get over it~

    I guess they surveyed 1000 super-prudish people, because our numbers here are quite a bit higher. WTG Team Honesty!

    Humans weren't intended to swim. Stay away from water.

    I like to take a dump in public pools. Does that make me weird? Who else like to drop a deuce in a public pool?

    Peeing in the pool is nice, peeing in any water is satisfying. Try it, i know it sounds gross but its super calming, like a day at the spa, but cheaper. I get in the bath sometims just to pee, its soo calming.

    i pee atleast two times everytime i go to the pool.

    It sounds gross but if there is no ladies room by the pool I pee in the pool. In my old age (54) I've gotten a bit lazy and instead of getting out of the pool when I need to pee I pee in the pool

    On Youtube there is a video of the lifeguard at a pool that had everyone get out of the pool as he had to pee.
    He then waded into the pool and got his wee-wee out and took a pee in the pool.
    I used to try to not pee in the pool but I guess if the lifeguard can do it this girl is going to pee in the pool

    Mr. Miller
    I have to agree that peeing in water feels good. When I'm out in the woods or somewhere and have to pee if there is a creek I'll pee in it. Finished I toss my tissue in teh water too.

Tell us what you're thinking...
