PEEING IN SHOWER ROCKS
Installing a ‘water smart flush’ is a good idea for saving water in the toilet. With the fresh water reserve levels dropping rapidly, all of us need to make sure we do all it takes to save every drop we can .This could be simple things like taking shorter showers, checking for leaks in the plumbing, washing only full loads of clothes or dishes etc. all these simple yet inexpensive tips can save you many gallons of water. For some more useful tips on how to use water efficiently visit .... More
Ok guys...Slow down..at the end of the day It's about "options"..If you do not like this , DO NOT DO IT!!!"......but if this save water and you care....just do it. You can tell me that you save water here and you waste water making paper or something else, but if we all together can start making a difference it's worst it.
Gracias....Obrigado...Thank you!
If anyone else uses the shower except yourself, its just nasty and inconsiderate.
Urine from healthy people is sterile! If yours is not, please see a doctor.
I was almost sent back two weeks in boot camp for peeing in the shower.....and I aimed for the drain! Finally.....VINDICATION!!!
From the ountry that uses eight gallons of water to produce one gallon of ethanol.
You Americans are really funny. I don't see what the big deal is. I always peed in the shower. Never had fungus, athlete's foot or anything of the kind. Eating McDonald's hamburgers is way more disgusting. Over half of the US population eats crap in their meat and now "oh, peeing in the shower! disgusting! Let's weigh 300 lbs, but peeing in the shower? no way!". Besides, this advertisement does not mean all 190 million Brazilians agree with that. Of course I'm siding with my native country, .... More
Actually, peeing on your feet will not cause athletes foot and your actually contains Urea which is an ingredient that is found in OTC fungal treatments. Yet, pee alone wont cure athletes foot. :p
Urea is also found in many lotions. It keeps your skin nice and hydrated. Portuguese urine used to be highly desirable back in the day before commercial lotions were available. It was also used as a tooth whitening agent!
Peeing in shower better than eating McDonald's hamburgers? I say drinking urine is probably better for you than eating a McDonald's hamburger! I'm an American who pees in the shower AND (since I pee more often than I shower) follows the rule: If it's yellow, it's mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.
I've been peeing in the shower for as long as I can remember. I pee right on my feet. I never get athletes foot.
Peeing in the shower will not increase the rate of leprosy. Most people are immune to leprosy and it is not highly contagious. Further, a lot of the symptoms traditionally believed about leprosy are wrong.

Suddenly, it doesn't seem like such a great idea.
guess this will help with the high rate of leprosy in brazil....
You are definitely out of the loop and incorrect. I am glad I studied abroad and lived in Brazil last year, to attest to the fact that you are indefinitely incorrect by making such an outlandish statement. Where's the diplomacy?
The high rate of leprosy does not have anything to do with peeing in the shower. Have you been to Brazil? I lived there for the first 26 years of my life, so I know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, Brazil still struggles with poverty, which leads to lack of information, education and access to health care. Therefore, many people end up looking for help when it is too late and the disease is fully developed. You know, I love California, where I currently live, and I've come to love and.... More
piss in the sink too!
Don't tell George Costanza.
makes me piss
anyone else??
Way ahead of you Brazil!
I pissed in the shower before it was cool.
They just dont admit it... just aim for the drain.. I do!
"And suddenly, about 50 million dudes out there can declare themselves environmentalists."
Portuguese. It's small kids stating: ' if you're from outer space ' (picture of alien) , If you're an athlete (pic of jordan), "if you're a movie star" (pic of King Kong), etc... in funny children voices. Ending with pee in the shower to save wildlife.
I already pee in the shower every morning. Saves me the trouble of dealing with morning wood.
...I knew Portuguese. I bet this is even funnier if I knew what they were saying.

This is more or less what they say:
