How Much Time Do We Spend in the Bathroom?

Jun 19, 2008 23:43

I was wondering about the odds of having an open bathroom when you needed one, and it's very obvious that 2 bathrooms among 4 people is def. better than 1 bathroom among 2 people ( Read more... )

Do people actually urinate in the shower?
Sometimes if I am browsing the net I take my laptop with me and set it on the little carpeted bench type thing next to the loo (which basically conceals some part of the building I think.
If you found the approximate proportion of their lives that people spent on the loo, then this would be a pretty simple problem to solve. If you want to base it upon the loo using patterns of people, what times of day they are likely to use it more, when it will be more occupied and when people will need it more, I'd expect that a computer simulation would be the easiest.
There are a lot of directions that you could take this. I have ADD and am likely to forget, but I will try very hard to remember to keep a record of my loo using patterns.

Do people actually not urinate in the shower?

I wouldn't dream of it. I've heard people talk of that but I thought that they were joking.

You can say 'poop' you know.

But poop and pee don't rhyme!

I once had a beautiful crush,
But she turned out to be a giant lush.
Beer made her urinate,
Gin made her defecate.
Thank goodness she remembered to flush.

1.20 am-1.25 am
went in to brush teeth, pee, floss, and use fluoride mouthwash

You did all that in 5 minutes? You must've been peeing while you flossed.

Actually I peed while brushing. I always try to be quick in the loo. I take fast showers also.

gracewanderer June 23 2008, 05:04:23 UTC

You pee while brushing but you find the idea of peeing in the shower to be shocking?

Well, I can already tell you that 90% of my bowel movements happen at work, leaving my home bathroom mostly for showering, which happens every other day (or more depending on sweat rates and/or shower buddies of the female variety). And shower rates vary from 5 minutes, if I'm in a hurry, to 15 minutes, if I shave, to 30+ if a buddy is present. I'd say it averages to about 15 after you take it all into account (and, again, that's roughly 4.5 times a week... although that's higher now because of the presence of said company ( ... )
