Listen, I'm willing to come out as someone who has on occasion peed in the pool in the past so you all know my bias. And I'm Stossel. And yesterday I flipped out over thumb sucking.
But, dude, some people need to dial it down a notch (or 5). It's nonideal. But chlorine, while not pixie dust, takes care of it. As does dilution. Because, um, pools = thousands of gallons, pee = maybe a cup?
The grossest stuff in the pool, in terms of screwing up pool water, is sweat and body oil, so unless you all are showering with soap head to toe and rinsing off all sweat before EVERY ENTRY into the water, you're just as bad. YWIA.
When you're THAT pregnant you can't reach your hands down there.
Lol, whut? You're saying you can't reach to your genitals while in your third trimester? Do you have tiny little arms or something? How do you wipe? DO YOU WIPE?
Wiping is possible. With a lot of f-bombs and SOB's. My belly gets HUGE when I'm pregnant. H-U-G-E. I'm one of those who constantly got asked if I was having twins.

That's pretty much what it feels like!
I'm just a disgusting pool-pee'er when I'm pregnant. I'll admit it. It never even crossed my mind to just move the crotch beacuse it would've resulted in lots of f-bombs and SOB's when I pissed all over my hand.

A cup of pee from half the people in the pool = more than a cup.
Also, you can't control sweat and body oils. You can control whether you're an animal who basically pees on your neighbor's leg.
YES. Besides being disgusting, this is just about being a civilized person! It's about not being too freaking lazy to get out of the pool, dry off, and pee in a toilet like a decent human being!
I seriously can't believe anyone is attempting to justify this.

Yes, I can math. And I'm not a reckless, rude peer so feel free to come to my pool and swim in my urine-free waters. L last peed in there in May 2013 so I'm pretty sure that its dissipated by now. We've had a lot of excessively rainy weather in the interim.
My point is that in a pool, even a 100% pee-free pool, you all are swimming around in sweat, dirt, and body oil soup of your own creation, and that pool chemicals are designed to take care of that. So everyone can relax a little about the horror that is potential pee contamination.

Yes, pool chemicals are designed to take care of THAT. Not also gallons of pee.
Has your account been hijacked?
Is this the new "are you feeling okay?" Want to pat my head? LOL
No, it has not. But as a certified Pool Operator (TM), I just wanted to try to reduce the BUT THERE'S PEE AND IT'S TOUCHING ME hysteria that seemed to be brewing. I can both agree that purposeful pool peeing is rude AND think that it's not a health threat worth getting all het up about.

Well, you may be able to math, but you can't science.
Are you a chlorine expert? What is going on? It's day 2 of crazy pills around here.

I sometimes pee in my own pool. I started when I was pregnant and I the trend has continued. I wouldn't pee if I had people (other than my immediate family) in the pool. I would never pee in a public pool or someone else's pool.
I want my kids to secretly pee in the pool so I don't have to go through the hassle of taking them out every time, but I don't want to tell them to do it. I think DD1 has gotten the message because she never gets out of the pool to pee. DD2 wears a swim diaper so I guarantee there is at least toddler pee in there.

It is my civic duty as a licensed pool operator (we have a pool at work and all dept heads have to get our pool op license) to give my two cents. Lol
Pee in the pool is the least disgusting thing that is in there. We have never had to drain our pool because of a pee problem. We have had to drain it because of a nasty film on top of the water from body oils and such. We have signs up everywhere all but begging people to pretty please take a hot soapy shower before getting in the water.
So if you get into a pool without taking a shower first, you are just as disgusting as the pee people. If you've ever swam with a cut/abrasion/sore you are also disgusting. Do you have any idea what oozes out of a cut when in the water? Even a small one?
It was months before I could go swimming again after taking the pool class and test.
You and bania are the only people I'm inviting to my pool party so far. Save the date!!!!!
YOU ARE NOT HEARING ME!! I don't pee in people's personal pools. Only when I'm at a big hotel/resort type pool, where there are swim up bars/poolside service and NO ONE EVER GETS OUT. I figure, if you can't beat them, join them!! I am not often in these situations, I am rarely in a pool. Thank God for the rest of you, apparently!
Oh well then, it's totally cool.
NO IT'S NOT IF EVERYONE ELSE JUMPED OFF A CLIFF, WOULD YOU. HAVE SOME STANDARDS FOR YOURSELF.

I get this.
But.
Peeing in a pool is a conscious decision WHILE IN THE POOL, which makes it so much worse to me.

In any event, I don't often swim in public pools.
I'm simply in disbelief about these numbers.
Agreed, but... It is a conscious decision by an alarming number of people not to shower before getting into a pool. Which is just as nasty as choosing to pee there.
