People can be pretty gross, especially when it comes to doing stuff in secret they don’t think anyone will ever find out about. Whether it’s picking their nose or not washing their hands after using the bathroom, many of us are guilty of a personal hygiene habit we may not be proud of, and a new survey reveals details about one in particular. It turns out, nearly a quarter of Americans pee in the shower on a regular basis.
According to the survey of 2-thousand U.S. adults:
- Overall, 12% admit to peeing in the shower every single day, while another 12% do it a few times a week.
- Millennials are more likely to do it more often, with a quarter of those surveyed confessing that it’s a daily habit for them, compared to 13% of Gen X and just 6% of baby boomers.
- Nearly half (45%) of all respondents admit to peeing in the shower at some point during the course of the average year.
- Men are slightly more likely than women to do so, 30% of guys say they do it regularly, compared to 20% of women.
- The thing is, only 39% say they’re the sole user of their shower, as 41% share it with a partner and 18% share it with their kids.
- And the average American only cleans their shower nine times a year.
- Aside from peeing, people do some other activities in the shower, like singing (27%), planning for the day ahead (23%) and reflecting on the previous day (19%).
- Respondents believe the average shower should only take 13 minutes, while the average millennial thinks it should last for 17 minutes.
