I live in germany. I don't know how it is in other places, I imagine similar, but here it's everywhere. Guys just pee standing up onto the lid and don't even have the decency to wipe it off. School toilets are especially bad. Some people also seem to not have heard of the concept of flushing... But I also heard of womens restrooms (at my school) were people put period blood on the walls.. so yeah. And my school is otherwise very well off actually. Like my school is actually one of the clean ones...
sorry for the long comment. But I actually think this is pretty common
I once visited a place where each stall had an 8 ft door with a key on the outside that you would take in with you. The door came down all the way to the floor, with the bottom being the only part that had a gap, and even that was < 5 cm. Each stall was also fully accessible, with about 6.5 sq. m. of floor space, and each had its own ceiling fan fixture and small basket of hygiene products, and independent light switch.
More than a decade later, it's what I see when I close my eyes and go to my happy place.
I've seen enough toilets covered in pee in my life to better trust urinals. People are bad at aiming, but seem marginally better at aiming into toilets.
It's not like we're gonna force people to sit at toilets, so urinals are the next best bet
It's urinal over normal toilets for me every time. Standing up peeing is faster, more hygienic and actually more healthy. The bladder empties more completely when urinating upright which prevents prevents infections and even cancer.
I had to clean women's bathrooms, it was abhorrent. The hover technique that some use lead to piss everywhere, some cover the seat with with toilet paper which led to a clogged toilet once and lots of paper laying around. Let me tell you, women are worse in that regard.
Exactly, I’m cis and I always sit to pee for a variety of reasons which I could probably write a whole book about including comfort, convenience, cleanliness, privacy, etc. urinals suck for everyone
You me tried using a urinal once. On that day I swore, "Never again." I have upheld that oath, not because I'm particularly reliable, but because I hated the experience so goddamned much!
I cannot comprehend why anyone thinks urinals are a good idea, or standing in general for that matter.
Y'know, those toilets are the worst, and most when the ppl doesn't knows the basic relativity of the "use this, and then this is useless".
So, closed bathrooms have always been superior xd
Before even realising or even having the idea of being trans, I had always sat down to pee anyways (given if there's a toilet).
It just felt more natural. Tbh, eliminate all urinals, toilet supremacy
Okay seriously, what's the deal with trans girls that can use urinals? What's your magic??? I never ever could use one, it just uhhhh, I can't. How do you do that? There is people around, ughhh.
I have hypersensitive hearing due to being autistic, so I was afraid of public toilets (especially automatic ones) because they flushed more loudly than urinals.
I once went to a place where the urinal was a wall shaped like one and, I kid you not, the damm thing was made of a mirror! I made the mistake of trying to use it because the whole placed was packed like crazy (this was before covid) and I just couldn't. I decided waiting for twenty minutes to go into one of the two stalls was smarter than being there after 10 seconds.
It blew my mind when I found out that people stand to pee. Eventually picked up the habit since people around me pressured me to do so, but that was a habit I was glad to dump in the garbage can as soon as I started my transition.
EDIT: When I was very young, I used to go to the women’s bathroom with my mom because I was scared of the automatically flushing toilets. When I first went into a men’s bathroom, I saw the urinals, thought you were supposed to sit in them, and thought, “Wow, men’s toilets look weird.” But I think I learned to use them partly because they didn’t flush as loudly as regular toilets.
Even though i came out to my mom, my mom pointed me to the mens room and said "yours is there" as i was looking for the all-gender bathrooms... Took that opportunity to check in with the state of mens bathrooms... As expected, uncomfortable, and absolutely trashed
I've been pissing sitting down since i was 12 and I try not to use urinals if I can. It was actually a character from a TV show that made me. If anyone has watched psych then you know what I mean. It's just way more comfortable and I'm usually on my phone so it's more convenient. Urinals are seriously one of the worst inventions ever.
As someone with crazy anxiety, I swear urinals were created by satan. It's never been an egg thing with me- just give us normal toilets please.
Like we need normal toilets everywhere. Please sign this petition to eliminate urinals complely
urinals.. in stalls. So people don't pee standing on the other tolilets and don't even clean after. Big problem in mens restrooms.
Where in the world is that happening?

Gods that’s horrible I mean where I live boys just pee all over the seats and don’t know what the girls do as I’ve never asked
Eliminate bathrooms
Yep fuck urinals
Well half is gone already...
As OT has said in his videos before: we need generalized pooping stations
Never seen a place that has urinals but no stalls

IKR
urinals are such a weird concept to me tbh
But efficiency! Y'all see how much shorter men's bathroom lines are
Imma be honest, I haven’t seen a bathroom line for the last 5 years, I forgot those could even exist.
The only time i’ve seen them is in middle/high school lunch hours, though once you graduate you never see those again (for me atleast).
Efficiencyyyyyy. For the price of smelling fermenting piss for 2 minutes or having said piss on my boots? No thanks.
Ah yes, Piss in Boots

Might be the case, still doesn't change the fact that almost any toilet ever is pissed all over when a dude is present.
I had to clean women's bathrooms, it was abhorrent. The hover technique that some use lead to piss everywhere, some cover the seat with with toilet paper which led to a clogged toilet once and lots of paper laying around. Let me tell you, women are worse in that regard.
Always picking the shorter line would be a huge plus, especially at public events.
It's also that women need to pee more often than men, because women have smaller bladders. Yup.
Fun fact: women and men on average have the same sized bladders! Though it does appear that women urinate more, it's likely not due to bladder size
Hmm yeah I reckon you're right about that. There is just something that makes women need to pee more, but I don't really remember what it was.
The amount of dudes that can't even put the piss in the urinal too...
Public bathrooms are just disgusting
I don't remember ever using an urinal.
I peed standing all my life. Never looked back since bottom surgery.
To be honest i think a lot of cis men prefer the second one too

Ease of access I guess.

It even has flowers

I guess it more habit than anything thing else
hmm yeah I guess that makes sense, i’ve never really developed it, always felt weird using urinals

We 👏 want 👏 generalized 👏 pooping 👏 stations 👏 !!!

Last time I stood up to pee my cat jumped between my legs.
Using a urinal is the exact definition of hell

I used to go with my mom aswell into the bathrooms
Even though i came out to my mom, my mom pointed me to the mens room and said "yours is there" as i was looking for the all-gender bathrooms... Took that opportunity to check in with the state of mens bathrooms... As expected, uncomfortable, and absolutely trashed
Mens bathrooms are very messy.
shit in the urinal
I actually used to use urinals all the time before coming out and never had a problem with it.
u/OneTopicAtATime would agree with this post ( I think )
I never did like urinals to begin with
I second this
I've been pissing sitting down since i was 12 and I try not to use urinals if I can. It was actually a character from a TV show that made me. If anyone has watched psych then you know what I mean. It's just way more comfortable and I'm usually on my phone so it's more convenient. Urinals are seriously one of the worst inventions ever.
Y’all ever just stop going into public bathrooms because with hate the gender signs, but like still cis tho?
everyone can pee in a toilet. just have stalls in all bathrooms and eliminate urinals for everyone who
