I was surprised to learn recently that in Germany sitting while peeing is considered the proper way for men, since I lived there from '83 to '94 and never heard about it. Being American, I usually stand like a savage. Is this something that became more common after I left, or did I somehow miss it for 11 years?
Thank you for confirming my predjudices about the lack of manners in the USA. This gives support to my firm conviction of never letting an American use my bathroom.
I've heard it beeing done in dirty public stalls, but only if there are no urinals. In my youth (10+years ago) this was a topic of discussion in my group of friends and it was consence that you do not do this in anyones bathroom you respect.
