So now the stall is ruined for the next person if they have serious business to attend to.

Why the hell can't you just use the urinal like a grown-up? Are you 4 years old and afraid the urinal monster is going to bite your weiner off? WTF is wrong with you? At least aim properly, idiots. :disgust:

I work in a building that trains hundreds of Army troops everyday.... that rarely use the damn urinals. I'll walk in "to do some business" and 10 of the stalls are full of people peeing, leaving the urinals empty.

Come on, you've been through boot camp where they have communal (sp?) bathroom facility, obviously someone has seen your johnson before.

USE THE DAMN URINALS!

I don't want anyone to get jealous and try to "devour my member to obtain it's power".

Jokes aside, I don't like to stand while I pee, it's physically uncomfortable. I also like being alone, to begin with, so peeing alone is even better. I can aim, too. Eh, I'll use the urinals once in a while, when I'm in a rush, it's not that big of a deal.

Oh man, there is this one of those old school urinals where I work. You know the ones that dont hang on the wall, but go all the way down to the ground.

Everytime I am in the area I will force myself to piss in it. It is just that freaking awesome.

I think its gross and I believe the trash cans should be removed from the stalls so that they do not do that.

Taking the trash can won't work. Where I live (South Texas) the stalls don't usually have trashcans, and they still throw their shit paper on the floor. I try to avoid public restrooms because of this.

I lived in South Texas (Corpus Christi) for a few years and never noticed this to be a regular thing. I've also lived in a few other states and my general feeling is that public restrooms are usually nasty regardless.

Fair enough. I try to avoid true public restrooms at all costs and if I have to use them it is urinal only.

Very true. Heh, my personal myth/assumption of women keeping their bathrooms cleaner than men's was busted when I worked at a Lowe's during college. I was in for a rude awakening when I was asked to clean the women's restroom for the first time!

It must suck to be a woman and have to use a public restroom.

You really want to prove you can aim? Use the urinal and stall simultaneously. Go into the stall, sit down, and arc your stream over the wall into an adjacent urinal. Bonus point if there is at least one additional stall between you and the urinal. Another point if there's someone using it.

Bathroom games are fun. I remember in grade school, we would see how far away from the urinal we could get and still make it (these were floor length). One guy was able to do it straddling a toilet on the opposite wall of the bathroom, probably about 12-14 feet away. It was probably best there were no male teachers to walk in on that sort of behavior... Incidentally, the kid that could do that was a junior track and field star, ninth fastest in the US. He was completely ripped; his biceps were literally spherical, a little bigger than a tennis ball. And this was 4th grade, so he was like, what, 9? 9 year olds aren't supposed to look like that. Shit was crazy.

Yep, from all the stories I've heard, us guys actually have it pretty nice in the public bathrooms. My female friends/girlfriends all tell me to STFU if I start complaining about the conditions because they know true public bathroom horror apparently.

cuz nothings more awkward than using a urinal beside a guy, esp if they are placed too close together and have no dividers. you know what he's doing, in the silence of the bathroom you can hear every little drop and grunt and breath. frankly its a little too intimate if you know what i mean, and that can lead to piss anxiety. and if ur not pissing right away and he can hear it, it makes it worse and worse lol
plus, i like to dab the tip of my dinkle with toilet paper to make it cleaner before i put him away.
no toilet paper at the urinal.. which is gross

Wayy too many Wusses here.

Have you ever been to one of those places that don't even have separate urinals? its just one LONG urinal from wall to wall, no divider between people. I wonder how some of you would react to it.

And I wonder how many people here have been to a real sauna? Where everyone walks around completely naked in the washing area?

I absolutely LOVE those urinals that go all the way down to the floor... there's something about that illusion that you are pissing on the floor that I'm really drawn to. It's like a fantasy of mine to be able to piss on the floor, with other people around too!

what the fuck with "small penis" everyone has small penis unless you have a boner. If you got a boner, well then you'll have trouble pissing.

I use a urinal if it has those separators, and sometimes I'll just not care and go anyway. I doubt people go in bathrooms and hunt for exposed man beef anyway.

Worst bathroom experience I've had was walking into a stall with shit smeared everywhere. I mean everywhere, more than one person had to do that. Fuckers got the door and threw away to toilet paper, so I couldn't pad my hands with something trying to leave (kicking ftw, anyway).

Not if you're trying to aim over the stall door into the adjacent urinal as one person mentioned above. ;)

Look, your plan was a failure the moment you started thinking of it. The stream slows down after awhile. In the end, you're going to be pissing all over the bathroom no matter how good your aim is! NO ONE CAN PEE FOREVER

You win for being the most feminine person I've ever met, and I know a 5' tall gay man who looks like he's 16, cross dresses on occasion and enjoys vacuuming/cleaning. It's fun to bring him to parties :)

Those are great. It's just a wall with water running down it and a little dip where the drains are. You see those at sports stadiums a lot. I don't get how anyone can be so urinal shy. If you don't want to see other men's junk, then don't look!

I actually piss better when I have a boner. You've never had morning wood + an urgent need to pee? For whatever reason the stream is like a damn fire hose and goes on forever. It's a weird combo, but I kind of don't care since I just woke up...

I prefer stall for sure. I grew up where there were NO standing urinals.

Anyways,

As far as worst bathroom I've ever been in:

I was on a trip to the States, I think it was NJ.

It was a SEARS store I believe. I had to take a piss, their bathroom had one stall. Door was missing, shit smeared ALL over the floor. It was disgusting
