who fucking hasn't honestly come the fuck on
Last I looked into it only about 1/3 people pee in the pool (excluding toddlers and young kids), but that's enough people that pretty much every public pool is gonna have pee in it.
As a former lifeguard, I can confirm that number is a ridiculous underestimate. People would be staying for hours and hours, drinking gallons of beer or whatever and maybe one person would enter the bathroom per 10 people. Honestly 2-7 year olds were the best about it, but nearly everyone else admits to peeing in pools or is a dirty liar.
Most anonymous polls put the number at 20 to 40%, but the numbers spike higher among people that spend a lot more time in the pools (like competitive swimmers, which apparently respond at 90-100%).
As for the hours in the pool while drinking, even if I'm drinking pretty heavily at a party I usually don't have to use the bathroom until 2 or 3 hours in, and I'll usually do a cup of water for every drink. Do people generally just have weaker bladders than I'm used to?
Let's say there are 20 people in the pool. Most stay for 3ish hours. How many would you expect to leave the pool area to use the bathroom?
Sure most probably use the bathroom before or after... But compared to a situation like a movie theater where people snack and drink about the same amount, but most are busting at the bladder after two and a half hours.... It makes you wonder what the difference is.
