In my UK apartment, there is a sign above the toilet, seen below: Spoiler I assumed for the longest time that the landlord didn't want piss everywhere. Not sure why it matters, as he's not the one cleaning my bathroom. Anyways, flash forward 6 months to now. I'm in Madrid right now on a project, sharing a house with a few others. The first morning I received the strangest question I've ever been asked: German guy at 630am "Do you stand when you piss?" I was really confused. He tells me about a study on men standing vs sitting and how all of his male friends sit to piss. He then asked if I could sit rather than stand. I just said OK, rather than argue. I do, however, still stand. So, my fellow Americans, do you sit or stand?
Don't fall into this trap question because the next one will be, do you use your arse for anything other than taking a crap?
I'm German and all guys I know stand while peeing. Same when I was in Italy for six months, all the European guys stand to pee. I don't know in what part of Germany your friend ließ, but his experience is not representative of Europe.
It's about splash back. I'd say the percentage of standing vs. sitting is the same in Europe and the USA (but splash back actually less of a problem in Europe because of the toilet design).
Need more clarification....like do I currently have a boner? ...is it the middle of the night and don't feel like turning the light on? etc.
1) You need better aim 2) Remember the Golden Rule - you're saying it's okay to splatter other people's floors, but not your own
I'm now interested in whatever study this was that he was referencing. Was he suggesting it was somehow better for men, health-wise, to sit while peeing, or just that it was cleaner because of less splash-back/errant aims?
sitting down to pee requires me to expose more of my flesh to more foreign dirty toilets - stand baby.
i dont know what to think of you if you willingly tuck your junk between your legs if you're not taking a ****
I've sat to pee a few times but stopped due to the funny looks I got from the people using the urinals on either side of me
I sit at home and surf the web, #1 or #2... it's nice to just get a free minute without a kid yelling at you!
Yeah I hate sitting on public toilets. I am one of those guys who puts 3 layers of TP over seat before dropping a deuce. My office bathroom has pee or pubes and the occasional poo smears on the seat way more often than I am comfortable with.
I just shot a snot rocket on my shirt. Thanks. Anyways, I sit when I'm drunk. But id never sit in public. I don't want my dong touching the inside of the toilet seat.
