[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do shoes off in the house people go to public pools I wonder?[/quote]

I'm a shoes off in the house person and I also sometimes pee in a pool. The last time I did it was a gated complex pool in Florida and it was just me and my toddler in the pool. I didn't feel like getting us both out and dealing with the bathroom.

It's a funny thing to be grossed out about since I can't think of an actual concern about diluted pee in a pool. Are you worried about getting sick? Tragedy of the commons type situation? I'd be grossed out if I didn't feel like it was totally diluted. But it is. [/quote]

Lots of things that pose a minimal health concern are still gross. For example, horse meat is taboo in much of the US despite the only meaningful difference between a horse's meat and a cow's meat being that we ride horses. THIS ISN'T TO SAY that these taboos are bad-- just that something that causes no immediate harm can still be gross and cause people to judge you. I genuinely can't offer a logical gotcha other than to say that pissing in a public pool is nasty, sorry. I did not consent to sharing a body of water with your pee -- especially if you're an able-bodied adult.[/quote]
