A YouGov Omnibus survey in July posed the question, “In which of the following places, if any, have you ever urinated?” Sixty-two percent of people checked the box that said “in the shower.” What’s more, this appears to be a national phenomenon: The fraction of people who say they urinate in the shower is pretty consistent whether you’re looking at U.S. regions, or age, income, sex, race, education or marital status. 网站YouGov在7月的一项精选调查贴出了这样一个问题，“如果有的话，你曾在以下哪些地方小便？”62%的人勾选了“淋浴间”这个选项。而且，这似乎是一个全国性的现象，不管你按照什么标准划分人群，美国的各个地区或是年龄、收入、性别、种族、教育程度或婚姻状况，在淋浴时小便的人数比总是一致的。 But before you get too excited and start brandishing labels like “freak,” you should take a closer look at the numbers on shower-peeing frequency. It turns out that 47 percent of people who said they had relieved themselves in the shower also added that they did so “not regularly at all — I have only done this once or twice.” As an “almost every morning” sort of girl, Allie, I’m afraid you’re in the minority — 14 percent of respondents said they do it “most of the time.” And remember, that’s 14 percent of the 62 percent who say they’ve ever peed in shower. So really, barely 9 percent of Americans share your bathroom behavior. |
