Unless you're peeing on yourself after you've already washed, it's not. Your toilet and shower drains both go to the same place, and flushing the toilet wastes more water than just rinsing it down with water you've already used to wash with.

This. Never got why people found it gross. It's water with minerals and stuff in it. That's it. Being heavily diluted in more water which is below you washing yourself off.

They used to wash clothes in urine to bleach it (I think bleach?). It's sterile and not really gross.

Maybe the folks who go on about it being so gross have partially clogged drains and they're standing in a puddle

Pee is splashing on the shower floor and drops may go anywhere, so at the end you may end up with piss in your shower walls / curtains.

Note: I just realized my English vocabulary is quite limited on bathroom items

I used to do this a lot until I realised that the water may not clean out the urine thoroughly so I started using the toilet.
