To paraphrase a HaHaOnlySerious joke about diving: "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who have peed in a pool. And those who lie about it."

- mc32 8y agoEveryone as a kid who has gone into a pool is probably right, but I doubt all adults who’ve been in a pool have done so.
- braythwayt 8y agoA HaHaOnlySerious joke is not meant to represent absolute truth, but to be truthful enough to provoke reflection on the subject. In this case, I am suggesting that if you survey some large group of Canadians, and 58% admit to peeing in a pool, there is also some non-trivial number of Canadians surveyed who have peed in a pool, but will not admit it to you. Maybe not 42%, but also maybe not 2%.
- diminoten 8y agoI didn't know a single person on the swim team in high school who didn't pee in the pool. Now they're not exactly "adults" technically, but neither are they children.
- djsumdog 8y agoI've never peed in a pool, or a shower for that matter. I have a hand-washing based obsessive compulsive disorder, which I'm sure is part of it.
- mywrathacademia 8y agoHave you ever been discriminated against because of your hand-washing compulsion?
- Fnoord 8y ago> I've never peed in a pool Yet there's this huge market for incontinence pads, and elder swim, too. Do you think incontinence magically stops when you're in a swimming pool? Don't you think the times you swam you had trace amounts of pee leaving your body?
- Dylan16807 8y agoLet's not pretend this is a purely binary issue. If one in ten people leak a little bit that's 50x less pee than everyone going on purpose.
- Svoka 8y agoWhy the hell would you pee in the pool? I never did it, and really think those who do are disgusting and should not be allowed to use public pools.
