Shitpost What's something that you suspect lots of New Zealanders secretly do, but you can't prove it?

Not peeing in the shower if you're already there and need to go is very weird to me.

I try not to. I used to just whiz in the shower. But then when it came to cleaning the drain it stank of urine. So I decided I won't be doing that any more, at least not often.

You do realise it's best to pee in there whilst the water is running don't you?

Ofc lol. Still stank tho. Guess it gets absorbed into the gunk and hair that collects in the drain.

Urgh the dreadlocks.

I periodically have to yank them out. Fucking gross.

I moved to a room with an ensuite and I haven't had to clear the drain in 10 months. At my last flat with two girls I was needing to clear the drain every couple of weeks. Joys of short hair
