Gender is a ploy by Big Toilet to sell more restrooms

This is quite the post to say you're bad at pissing

we'll look back at urinals like we look back at communal toilets in Rome.... It's a barbaric practice.

Which is it Roman or barbaric? Make up your mind!

Do you like having other people's pee splatter all over you?

Have you considered not pissing like some weird feral animal?

the only splatter is on the floor and im befuddled how people manage that shit

Also if it's toilet only, the dipshits pissing all over the floor will piss all over the seats

I'm a trans girl and I like urinals because I'm relatively intimidating and can put on a mean face and they give me a method of making cis men uncomfortable

don't take this from me

abolish urinals and reduce bathroom throughput by 70%, drunk men waiting for toilets will show you barbaritie

urinals use a lot less water which is a very good thing and also your pee shouldn't be splashing on you when you use a urinal

hope this helps

Do as the British do and urinate in public.

It's a tradition that goes back literal centuries.

If you think that's barbaric you haven't used a baseball game piss trough.

We should replace all the urinals with showers.

I always sit down to pee at home. But when using toilet facilities elsewhere, I do a handstand.

People need to pee way more than poop, most people using a public restroom just need to piss. This is especially true at public places that involve drinking (bars, concerts, sporting events). So having a thing you can just walk up to and piss in is more efficient than having people have to get in and out of a stall. Also poopers don't have to compete with pissers for toilet space.

Plus their easier to clean, especially when you're dealing with people who have bad aim, which also connects back to the alcohol thing.

urinals are great

Absolutely can not pee in a urinal if other people are around, bladder's too shy even with good dividers. Doesn't matter if I sit there with my dick out for 5 straight minutes trying to will my filled to bursting bladder to release, it ain't gonna work

Do you like having other people's pee splatter all over you?

I do, and I'm tired of pretending I don't

takes up less space than a stall and therefore lets more people piss in a bathroom at the same time

Death to America

Do you like having other people's pee splatter all over you?

Yeah I mean the sinks are like right there.

It is a lot more efficient in terms of size, time and water usage. Have you ever been at a public event and wished that the line was twice as long?

Serious answer:

• They use a shit ton less water.
• Vandal-proof urinals are a lot cheaper than vandal-proof toilets.
• They use less space.
• Men are a lot quicker in and out than when using toilets. They don't dally or sit scrolling on their phones, blocking others.
• Less chance of drug use.
• When smoking was still popular, playing "scoot the cigarette butt" was a decent multi-player game.

If anyone is interested, there's a lot of, ahem, "time and motion" studies on public conveniences out there.

I’ve never had another person’s pee splatter on me at a urinal.

Urinals are not any less sanitary than toilets. If anything, they are more sanitary because contactless.

Furthermore, they are optional. Many people do not feel ashamed to be seen peeing and have no hangups when it comes to using a urinal. I grew up playing outside with friends and often being far from a bathroom, and it wasn’t unusual to go find a tree in the woods to pee instead of finding a toilet.

I will not hear this anti-urinal slander! When properly implemented with dividers they're fast, efficient, touchless, and sanitary.

Those massive pee troughs are disgusting though.

Counterpoint: comes with a free cake!

The best argument in favor of urinals is that you can fit more in the same space, but I have sympathy for folks that don't like using them.

When I was a teen I hated using urinals. In most places they're optional, but in a busy public bathroom situation there's a social pressure to use them because otherwise you're standing in a public bathroom waiting while there is open urinal stalls.

Fenway Park used to have these horrible open trough urinals that were like a 12 foot wide urinal with no dividers and had a line most of the time. When the smallest hole opened people behind you would want you to be hip to hip with other people pissing. Fuck that.

I have a long screed that I’ve repeated many times to friends about why I love that urinals still exist, but I’m too depressed to write it atm. Maybe I’ll come back to this in the morning

Is this the music thread again? Comment, coward

When youbpee in a urinal you don't risk splashing like you do in a toilet, plus you don't have to touch anything like the toilet stall door

why use a urinal when you can just go in the gutter outside?
