Say you go to the restroom and you are in the middle of urinating. You look down in the bathtub and see a dead body. Do you continue peeing or pinch it off and run out? Or do you just start peeing everywhere screaming? Because it's pretty hard to just stop urinating right in the middle of it.

There seems to be a minsconception. You are not peeing in the tub, you are urinating in the toilet. The body is in the tub. This question came to me as I was using the restroom, looked in the tub and saw some bubbles from a bath and thought "What if that was a dead body."

First of all, why would I be peeing in the bathtub. Secondly, I think just the initial shock of seeing a dead body would stop me free peeing in a heartbeat. And lastly, as a woman, I can stop peeing whenever I want to.

The problem you placed is not a right or wrong question; rather, a "better or worse" question. The way I see it, I can't continue peeing. Truly, you wouldn't want to finish. I would be too scared to do anything. Although holding in your pee can be a distraction when trying to handle a murder, you might want to move away quickly and promptly. It's best to concentrate on contacting security or the owner of the building, while at the same time, make sure you don't become a victim also. The murderer, if any, might still be in the same room or building as you. You will want to be concerned of your safety and well-being, thus cutting off your pee and hurrying off.
There should not be a wrong way to do this. Just make sure you don't leave it alone. I mean, it's a dead body. You should be traumatized by it. Make yourself feel better by helping out and holding your restroom needs later.

Anyone with any sense would continue. The body's not going anywhere and it's only in TV programmes and films that people scream. In my life I've found three dead bodies and each time, although unpleasant I didn't react in any way other than a sense of sorrow. The first was as a 15 year old boy when I was walking alongside a canal with some friends. We saw what we thought was an old sack floating by and prodded it with a stick. The 'sack' turned over and was a dead woman. The second was when the local police asked us to help in a search for an old lady who had disappeared. My friends and I found her by the side of a stream where she had fallen and broken her leg and died of exposure. The third was by the side of my local supermarket when we saw what we thought was tramp having a nap. It was a man who had dropped dead of a heart attack. In every case if I was having a pee I would finish it, then investigate.

2 things, firstly, I always pee in the bathtub anyway, so I'd see it first. And secondly, if I didn't see the dead body first and looked down and saw it, I would probably s**t myself as well, so I'd have to crab walk away peeing in my pants to ring the police

since this was asked in the etiquette section, the only proper
thing to do would be to close the shower curtains/doors,
continue with the business at hand, acting like you didn't
see the body, and when you are relived, mention to the host that there maybe a problem in the restroom, as you discreetly make your quick exit.

This has happened to me only twice, the first time I was a little shocked to see Elvis dead in my bathtub, but I knew he would want me to finish relieving myself before stealing his cool sunglasses. You think the second time this happened i would be a little more prepared, but low and behold i was so shocked I S**T myself and continued to pee.

Hopefully I would almost be done before I saw the body otherwise I would pee all down my pants, screaming, and running out of the bathroom b'cause I don't have a tub, it's a shower! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

If you were Robert Downey, Jr. in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" you'd continue to pee, and spray it all over the body.
I, however, would probably sh!t myself if I saw a dead body in my bathtub.

Tricky. The way I see it is that the person is already dead so just continue peeing! You don't want to do any damage to yourself after all, now do you?
