    I will never understand the appeal of public pools. Reminds me of a line from "Little Britain:" "If you'd like to get a wart, visit one of our many public pools!"

    Seriously: 17% of people pee in swimming pools and 83% lie. Everyone has done it at least once and I'm guessing most still do. There is nothing gross about most urine, and with all the chlorine kills whatever could be gross about it to begin with. I've been in swimming pools since I was 3 months old and I probably couldn't count how many times I've peed in the water- less now I'm older, sure, but if it comes up, why inconvenience myself?

    OK, so when I was little I had to take swimming lessons at the YMCA and one day I was treading water and decided I needed to pee, so I did. As I was peeing, another kid swam by, underwater, almost bumping into my crotchal region. Then he came up out of the water and said "hey Meg, guess what? That was the first time I opened my eyes underwater!"


    I revel in my pool peeing to this day.

    I don't pee in the shower. I will jump out, sit on the toilet soaking wet, pee, then get back in. I've never peed in the ocean and MAYBE in a public swimming pool when I was very young, but I don't remember it. It just grosses me out, which I guess is weird.


    I did, however, have a pool water swallowing contest with my cousin when I was 8 that I'm not feeling too good about right now.

    My Dad has a derisive Navy expression that I first heard him use to describe the senior George Bush: "He's the kind of guy who gets out of the shower to take a leak."


    It was not meant as a compliment.

    Aaaaand this was a postsecret today! Okay, so it's a lake, but clearly this person is not a toilet-only type.

    I haven't peed in a pool, but definitely in the lake. My grandparents' lake home had 120 gravel topped steps from the dock to the cabin. NO FUCKING WAY was I running up that, in damp shoes, every time I had to pee.

    I can´t pee outdoors, in any context. Just can´t. This makes the life of the drunken college student a little more difficult.

    I live in a part of the country where being in the pool is pretty much mandatory for much of the year. People pee in them...that much is understood. I don't, but people do. Hence, I don't put my head underwater. I don't know why I think that protects me, but I'd rather not have pee in my eyes. Now, off to the pool?

    But what of the "fake-drowning so you'll receive mouth to mouth from the cute lifeguard" epidemic?


    Or was that just a problem for Squints Palledorous?

    Our neighbors had a sign near their pool: Welcome to our "ool" - Notice there's no "P" in it.


    Ha-ha. We all peed in that pool.
