Seriously - what's the big deal when someone pees in the pool?

Edit Note: I haven't peed in a pool since I was like 3 years old. So seriously, you can invite me to your pool - this thread was a post to annoy MrCoffee

1. Don´t pee in my pool, I don´t swim in your toilet.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. If my toilet were big enough,

I would gladly invite you to swim in mine. Just don't sit anywhere near my furniture when you're done. :-)

2. It's the number one problem.

3. The pools I worked at, we added a chemical to identify pool peers. You weren't caught?

4. Public pool=pee pee pool.

We just called the public pool the pee pee pool. Urine isn’t too worrisome, just icky. Onetime at the Disney World pool in Wilderness Village there was a floater, some kid must have gotten confused when told “just go in the pool”.

5. That has GOT to be the funniest scene ever from Caddyshack

where they do the Jaws music to what seems to be a doo-doo but really is a Baby Ruth bar. They have Carl wearing the protective gear santizing the pool when he finds the 'doo-doo' and he starts eating it, making the wife of Ted Knight's character faint.

7. Ohhh, I still won't eat a Baby Ruth.

That was inspired, true, but if you ask me, the funniest scene in Caddy Shack is Carl with the ground squirrels. Bill Murray will forever have a place in my heart for his portrayal of that pev grounds keeper.

6. Heated pools were AWESOME!

No one could tell.

You know you want some.

9. Welcome to our ool. Notice there is no "p" in it. Please keep it that way.

10. On a campus...

adorned with abundant "Smoking Areas" I have long lobbied for a "Peeing Area" in the pool. It would do away with the inconvenience of making frequent trips to the locker room and be a great place to make new friends.

11. everyone pees in the pool but while standing on the diving board? ick

12. Here's the yucky answer:

To Pee or Not To Pee

The eternal question of wetsuit urination.

If it hasn’t happened to you already, it will. You descend to 15 feet, and you’ll feel the sudden urge. You can’t hold it. And there’s no way you can get to a bathroom without spoiling the whole dive. So you consider – if I’m in the water, my urine will just dissipate and dissolve and disappear. Is it OK to whiz in the wetsuit?

The simple answer is “yes”. Take a leak.

The truth is, there is no health risk to watering the neoprene. Many people do not realize that urine – unlike feces - is sterile, unless you have a urinary tract infection. It contains a lot of dissolved bodily waste (mainly nitrates), but poses no health risk to you. The only symptom of wetsuit whizzing is temporary warmth in your vicinity. But beware, if your urine is dark (a sign that it is probably strongly odorous as well), you might get a reaction from other divers, especially if they happen to swim through your “yellowish cloud of warmth.”

Not in my pool, dammit! You do and you will never be invited back.

13. I confess: guilty of " watering the neoprene"

[billyskank]

14. Standing on the side peeing in is bad form, though.

:D

16. Now you tell.

I wondered why I stopped getting invited to pool parties.

17. Long as you don't do it from the high diving board

you should be OK.
