For Women, do you use urinals?


Because I'm a pervy bastard, I often think about this very thing. Mmmm... :)

But no, I often use urinals. I prefer not to use them when there are very macho, overbearing tossers about but otherwise it is OK for me. :)

I never use them. I've never understood the purpose of them. I much prefer to go in a stall.


From Wiki:

Quote:
In busy men's washrooms, urinals are installed for efficiency: compared with urination in a general toilet, usage is faster because within the room there are no additional doors, no locks, and no seat to turn up; also a urinal takes less space, is simpler, and consumes less water per flush than a toilet. Urinals also come in different heights, which helps for those who might be very tall. Oftentimes, there are barriers dividing the urinals, which adds to privacy.


I think the bottom line is efficiency and cost savings, where the public has access to restrooms.

I never really thought about the purpose of them other than the direct purpose, until you asked.

...One time, at work I used a urinal and my boss walked in and started using the one next to me. He started making small talk and I was concentrating on the conversation. When he was finished he left. I looked down and was peeing on top of the urinal. :oops:

No, I physically can't go, and the pee splashes back on me.

Your boss broke the urinal rules :) :

1.Stand quietly and urinate.
2.Face toward the wall in front of you.
3.If someone else approaches the urinal next to you; pretend that they simply don’t exist. And neither do you.
4.Leave promptly.

One place where small talk is not necessary. Kind of strange to be carrying on a conversation with a co-worker in an office and inadvertently meet them at the urinals a few moments later, and suddenly act like you don't know them; but according to urinal etiquette for men, that is what is required.

I'm surprised we were ever expected to use this system in the first place.

I'm suddenly reminded of an ep of The Man Show where Jimmy Kimmel is using the urinal in public bathroom & there's a guy at the one next to him. Jimmy looks over & says "You call that a pen!$. My 8 year-old son's bigger than that" :o :lol:


And that reminds me of another comedian. Can't remember his name. He said that he went into a bathroom once and the only available urinal was the little one for kids that's low to the ground, so he walks up to it and starts pissing in it. It's bad enough that he feels embarrassed to be pissing in this little urinal, but then one of the other guys leaves, and a little kid comes in but the urinal for kids isn't available, and the guy feels bad for taking it but he can't just stop pissing and move to another one. So the little kid walks up to the big urinal, drops his pants to his ankles (as little kids prefer to do, for some reason), and does the Keanu Reeves leaning back thing from The Matrix so his piss will reach up there.

yes, fortunately my urinary control has never been influenced by the proximity of other males.

women often seem to pee with the cubicle door open at parties, or many other people in the room if it's a house bathroom

Most guys will go to the one farthest from the door, though some will use the first available. I usually get a middle one because the way I see it there is less pee on the floor to stand in and that shows confidence and dominance. I have a bigger problem using a stall since they are usually disgusting. And people really need to learn to wash their hands after using the facilities.


OSB is right; girls go to the bathroom in herds. I can't imagine turning a trip to the bathroom into a social occasion. Are girls going in to dissect guys or is it something top secret? I do get that the women's room is really cozy and nice from the couple of times I've been in one. So unfair.

I had to clean my dad's pub, well we called it a bar...but yeah I can totally relate. The ladies room was always worse then the men's room, drunk women can be worse pigs then men I swear.

I've seen vids of women doing that at urinals :oops:
I have no problem using the kid one if it's the only one free but it splashes out because of the force & distance
