Many people multitask in the shower.

It’s not uncommon for people to give their teeth a quick brush while they’re washing.

But apparently, some are taking their time-saving measures to all new extremes.

A recent study shows that one in 30 people poo in the shower.

And no, we’re not kidding.

A bathroom company, QS Supplies, questioned 1,010 Brits and Americans about their bathroom behaviour.

Participants lifted the lid on their shower habits – with one in 30 admitting to taking a dump in the shower.

We’re not sure why you’d use the place you clean yourself in to poo, but more people do so than you’d think.

This wasn’t the only gross habit people confessed to.

One in three wee while they’re washing, while a fifth spit down their shower plug-holes.

Meanwhile, one in four participants said they blow their noses in the shower.

And as tissue paper would get wet, we can’t imagine they use any to clear their noses. Yuck.

Others use the most private room in the house as a place to masturbate.

One in 20 weren’t ashamed to reveal that they pleasure themselves among all the steam.

Most men have engaged in solo loving in the shower – with 51% admitting to it.

In contrast, just 28% of women have enjoyed some “alone time” in the bathroom.
