So, as I went to the bathroom at halftime I noticed something disturbing - the "urine trail" in front of the toilets started at the damn stall door. As I tried to find one where I could get relatively near the toiletbowl w/out standing in someone else's puddle, I saw this in damn near every stall. Do people not know how to aim their urine stream? Are the toilets leaking? Is it a game? Is it a chain reaction caused by one guy peeing on the floor & then everyone that follows has to pee from further back, lest they stand in urine? WTF?
Hey, the rockets shot 45% in the game, which isn't bad for basketball, but obviously, 45% at peeing is gonna leave puddles behind.
Well, sadly I can understand the Rockets -ahem' "piss poor" shooting. I can't understand an inability to aim a urine stream 2 feet into a large bowl of water. I am becoming convinced it's part of some elaborate game.
just go w/ the golf motion, take a wide stance bend at the knees, stand upright, and have a smooth and easy follow through, works every time
I've been wanting to start a thread about something similar for a long time. What is it with guys and not flushing? I can't remember the last time I've gone to a public urinal/toilet that didn't have piss in it.
Dude your problem is the fact that you're using the d@mned stalls. The piss puddle is much smaller at the urinals b/c there's 20 people behind you watching if you were to dribble piss all over the floor. People make a better effort there to hit the mark. Now everybody understands a few leaks can escape onto the floor during the post-piss shakedown at the urinal, but when you're behind the walls of a stall in privacy, people don't make the same efforts. No accountability back there. Standing a full foot away from the pot is commonplace, and it results in an ever-increasing puddle as the night goes on. Why stand in the puddle if you don't have to? Bottom line: wipe your shoes off on the doormat before entering your home.
Urinals = splatter, dude. Feeling the leftover urine of others & your own as it splatters back on your hands/clothes is not cool. Urinals suck.
and women have the nerve to complain about pregnancy and pms. look what we go through on a daily basis.
No, dudes who are too shy to pee in the urinal and pee on the toilet seat suck. What happens if you have to take a dump at the game? *shudder* Actually, this is my pet peeve at work as well. I work at a (supposedly) professional company, and the slobs who leave a mess behind infuriate me. Were the effin' losers brought up in a barn or what? By the way, RocketBurrito, I'm not buying the splatter theory - you pee into the side of the urinal, not the bottom. You know, that area that gets rinsed with water every flush? People have serious hygiene and respect issues.
What's worse is people not flushing after a bowel movement or even smearing feacel matter in the cubicle walls. Some people have issues. Women's toilets are clean environments yet men's toilets in the same building are a disgrace?
Again, it comes down to an aiming issue as far as the toilet bowls. As for the urinals, it doesn't seem to matter where I aim - the splatter occurs. I think it's a porcelain-surface dynamic issue. Someone should look into the urine flow hydrology of the modern wall urinal. Maybe I have a very forceful stream. I'll try cutting back on the throttle a bit.
What was worse to me was pissing at the Astrodome in those "piss troughs". Everyone peeing into the same thing. Sick.
As for performance issues, this only comes up for me at the massive "urine troughs" seen at older stadiums & venues. It's one thing to go while you're alone at a urinal. It's a whole other to go while there's a strange dude on either side of you, almost shoulder-to-shoulder. The piss tubs REAAAALLLLLYYY suck. I also seem to recall that at Rice Stadium there are urinals facing each other over a low wall. Basically you look down or you're staring some other dude in the face as you both try to pee.
