Do you very often sit down to pee?

I have bad aim, so to save myself the trouble and just sit down when I feel like my aim is off that day.
 
That seems very... weird.

If I'm pooping then yeah.. But one of the great benefits of being a male is the ability to pee while standing up... and if that means things go a little haywire and some piss gets on the wall then that's just part of it I guess.

What self respecting man sits down to pee?

Why? Because it's socially "unacceptable"?

How about hygiene? I surely don't want to clean the bathroom, or anyone in my family cleaning up after my spillage. How about splashing all over your clothes? I have a strong release, I'll splash all over you if you were standing next to me. Besides, I don't want to walk in the office, meeting with pee spots on my suit, pants, shirts... etc.

Give me a fucking break, self-respecting man have better shits to worry about than whether he sits or stands to pee.
 
Never sit to piss, even if I think there's a little shit coming. If there's a wet fart, there's something behind that 😛
 
Never really understood the big deal about this topic. All the "no self respecting man" bravado crap is just stupid. Really, how could it possibly matter one way or another?

I'll never sit down to pee at work because that's just gross, but at home I mostly have a seat. With a wife and two girls in the house, not to mention that I'm just a lazy bastard and would rather sit for a minute than stand, and the whole not feeling like it threatens my manhood thing, I got no problem with it.

I can see having a personal preference, but why would one be better than the other?

Yeah I do if I'm pretty drunk or hungover and am just too fuckin lazy to stand.

that's when you just stick your arm out, lean against the wall, and piss with no hands. (you have to use your other hand to scratch your ass while you piss)

though men are expected to put it down to be polite. can't women do the same? i mean put it up for us?

Yup, I'm as chivalrous as anyone I know, and I think that's the dumbest expected courtesy ever. I don't sit down on anything without looking at it, why can't you?
 
Only if I sit down only to realize it was just some wicked gas but the stream already started. No sense in disturbing a nice relaxing piss.

No, and I hate pricks that spend an hour in the bathroom reading the damn newspaper when other people need to use the stall.

One of my roommates takes shits that last 30-45 minutes on a regular basis because he's got to read/do a sudoku puzzle while he's in there. It's damn annoying.

Are you sure that's all he's doing?
 
i sit to pee. it's a lot cleaner, you have some of your best thoughts while you're sitting, you can take a crap if you need to and didn't realize it until you sat down, you never have to worry about your gf or wife telling you to put the seat down, etc...

the only time i stand up to pee is whenever i'm not using my own bathroom or a bathroom that belongs to a female friend of mine... i sit to pee in their bathrooms because they do and i don't want to be responsible for tiny piss water particles splashing out of the toilet and dirtying their bathroom.

edit: yeah, i also have no shame in telling people i sit to pee in my own bathroom... i have to clean my bathroom WAAAY less than everyone else and the only stuff i have to clean from behind the toilet is dust... not piss.
 
I dont get the whole "im lazy so I sit to pee" way of thinking. Pulling your pants down, sitting ont the toilet, then pulling them back up is way more work than just whipping it out and letting things fly. Lazy people stand and pee.

standing burns more calories.
