That depends on the plant and what you have been eating....
I know of one particular tree that seems to have done quite well....

Personally, I would recommend paying your water bill and using the bathroom. To answer your question, however, it depends on how often you do this and which plants you're peeing on. Your urine is still mostly water, but it also contains urea and uric acid, which break down over a few days into ammonia. In moderate amounts, this will actually help many plants, because they require nitrogen to grow, in addition to phosphates and potassium (most ferilizers have a three-number code on them that list these three nutrients and their proportions) Nitrogen as a gas can't be absorbed readily by plants, so it's either in the form of nitrates (ammonium nitrate is a popular one, giving the double-punch of ammonium and nitrates) or urea. However, there is such as a thing as too much of a good thing -- pee on your plants too often, and you give them too much nitrogen and no way to process it all. Overfertilizing can burn plants, and can either kill them or stunt their growth. So it really depends on how strong your urine is (if you just drank a gallon of water an hour ago, your urine will probably be pretty dilute) and how often you do this.
You must have very understanding neighbors...

I agree with most just like when a dog goes on the lawn. No in the dog case if given too much human food the nitrogen levels will go up and burn out a plant. as long as it isn't directly on them an frequent it shouldn't pose too much of a problem. But really you should use an outhouse, porta-potty or the bathroom inside. That is why John Crapper developed the porcelain god.

This has nothing to do with the plant from outside .. unless you pee down to the soil this will definitely enrich the elements as an organic source for the plant by all its . constituents .. but peeing right to the leaves will propably leave a big yellowish sopt to the greem matter .. that's all ..
pee anywhere you like but watch yourself from behind .. not to be seen .. !!!

It is extremely harmful to the plants, the toxins in the urine are also toxic to the plants, however, unless you pee on them excessively, they won't die right away, but go for the grass if at all possible.

depends on how strong your pee is - if you have a strong pee it will kill the plant - if your pee is light it will be very good for the plant. I pee on plants on rainy days - then it gets mixed with the water and the plants grow well!!!

A little bit is good, the nitrogen can actually help the plant but just like too much fertilizer can burn your grass the same goes for wee-wee.

how can pee be poisoness to plants??? im sure deer and rabbits and wild animals use your garden as a public restroom everynight, and my dog pees in the grass everyday, the grass is actually growing greener in the spots she pees

mature female's urine is dangerous to plants. male urine is harmless and could help. it has to do with hormone regulated factors.
you can test this very easily by having your girl dog pee on one side of the yard and your male dog pee on the other. you will end up with half of a lawn. i swear.

No certain asnwer. Depends on pH of urine, pH of soil, and what the plant likes. But the nitrogen is useful to plants.
