Yeah I kinda get it.
I often piss in the garden at home as a matter of convenience.
... but a sink is just a bit too far for me.
IDK why it just feels uncouth. Like littering or something. I'm not judging sink pissers, just saying how it feels to me.
Pissing in the garden is how god intended us to piss. Pissing is the sink is blasphemy.
The only time I've pissed in the sink was when I was living in an apartment and there was no garden. Sink is far more appealing than that grassy bit in the parking lot.
It's not like I don't wash it down. Where the fuck else am I supposed to put my piss?
In the toilet like everyone else?
You've probably noticed that toilets work differently to sinks.
Your pee ends up in the p-trap (yes that's what it's called) and then running the water just dilutes the pee. It doesn't get "flushed".
I'm an electrician by trade, but was a plumbing apprentice way back when. Interesting theory you got there, but no.. You can wash all the piss out of the p trap by running the water.
If the sink's p-trap isn't getting entirely emptied then no, you're just diluting the pee when running water.
If the sink's p-trap is getting entirely emptied when running the water due to a siphon action, then I hope you're tolerating the likely sewer gases.
So you're under the impression that you'll never be able to get all of the piss out of the p-trap, regardless of how much water you run down there?
Are you a plumber?
If so, you should find a new trade.
The entire premise was there not being a toilet present.
And no, that's not how plumbing works.
If there's no toilet present then where does everyone else pee?
Just hold it in until one becomes available? How is this such a problem, I've never encountered in my entire life.
Like someone else said I think it's a weird psychological oddity, like left over from weird potty training practices or some such.
