First there was the toilet paper roll poll... and now this! Don't ask what ever possessed me to make this poll (LD made me do it!), but I find this both interesting and funny. Most of the time when I go to a public restroom, I'm way too chicken to use the urinal if others are around and if the things out in the open, so I usually wait to use the toilet. How do you other guys feel about this? Does anyone else ever feel like I do? Who thinks that we need more privacy or something?
If this topic is inappropriate, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be sick, just considering the part of fear or embarrasment in the mind. *flush*
-
I use it if there are walls in between each urinal.
-
Yes. Why wouldn't I? When you gotta go, you gotta go.
-
I do not use public restrooms if I can avoid it. If I can't, I won't use urinals if there is any chance at all that someone else will walk in while I'm using the bathroom. At all.
In college, I will go down from the 5th floor to the 1st floor to use an individual bathroom most of the time.
-
I always use the urinal, but I don't like to use the low-to-the-ground kids' urinals. If a kids' urinal is the only urinal open, I wait for another one to open up.
-
If there are partitions between each urinal, sure.
Otherwise, I go to a normal toilet.
-
Yeah, I use the urinal. The toilets are most always blocked up and stuffed with toilet paper or a hot steaming pile of.........something else.
-
Well, have you ever thought that a woman's bathroom had urinals? If you've ever been inside a woman's restroom, you'd never know. So, you know, mabey we DO have them. So you might as well change the title of this topic.
To tell you the truth, I once used a public restroom at a gas station somewhere in Colorado that had a urinal in the woman's restroom. The sign on the door clearly showed a picture of a stick-figure woman in a dress, so I know I didn't use the wrong restroom, nor was it a unisex restroom. o_O
-
I use it whenever I need to use it. So basically, every time I can. Who cares if there are people around you.
-
I go into women's restrooms all the time, they never have urinals. Stop trying to steal our thread, Khold!!!!!!!!! Urinals just aren't functional for females, except for the few and the proud that have mastered certain skills.
Urinals are the bomb, even better are the throughs; the less privacy the better. I like to bond with my fellow man while urinating.
-
I get nervous about using urinals when other people are around. Hello may be a sexual predador...I'm listening to my school to much. I do use it when other aren't in there.
-
I go into women's restrooms all the time
0_o
Khold is correct about the female urinals. They do exist, but they're very uncommon. I've never seen one, because I'm not like TEM, but I heard about them once or twice.
As for me, I'm a guy, but - prepare for a shock - I sit to go to the bathroom. I've done this since I was around 4 years old, and it's a major habit with me. I know I'm not the only one like this, though. I also heard that some girls prefer to stand. I'm serious about this. I found a website about it once by accident, and I looked at it just enough to realize that it was for real. Apparently it even had simple instructions that told girls how to do it that way, though I didn't look at them. Note that I did NOT look at it for bad reasons; I was younger and rather more innocent back then, and the site is completely porn-free. I won't post a link to the site here in this topic, however, because I feel that it would be inappropriate. The only way I'll pass on the link to anyone is if someone who's not male PMs me for it.
-
...O_o...
Um... wow...
Urinals in womens' restrooms are in other places, too???
...
Instructions on how to stand while using the bathroom and urinals for women???
...
WTD???

And now for something completely different... (http://blogs.ign.com/Gerry-IGN/2006/04/27/14656/)
-
Ahahaha, Hirocon! That NOA statement isn't true, is it?
-
It can't be.
I hope my previous post didn't sound perverted, because I really did not mean it that way, believe me.
EDIT: It's not that I think that what that site was talking about was inherently perverted; it's not really sexual or anything. But I'm not so sure a guy like me should have been talking about it. :P
-
Why are you getting nervous about it?
I've known that little factoid about women urinating standing up in some cultures for awhile. There's nothing wrong with it.
People seem to be so uptight about this, it's frustrating. It has nothing to do with pornography. The fact that the womens' reproductive organs were shown in pictures does not make it pornography. I'm sure you could PM guys here that link, and I'm fairly sure they're all mature enough to not say "WOW PORN! FUN!", because it's not porn, and should not be classified as such. It's called health. Why am I teaching you this? I'm sure you took health class.
-
All right, all right, fine. Since there's no porn there, and since the subject doesn't have any essential connection with porn, and since people around here seem to me to be pretty mature, I guess I'll give a quick link to the site (it was taken down for some reason, but archived pages are still accessible).
If the admins think it inappropriate, they are free to edit this post.

It does have some interesting conversations from the sociological perspective on those old forums there, anyway.
I apologize to YSR for getting this off-topic. I tend to do that on forums. It's a bad habit. >_>

^ Just a note: that picture's actually just a joke. It was originally off a postcard.
-
I think that's easy to tell that it's a joke. :P
-
That image may be a joke, but women can urinate standing and use urinals by way of one of many products.

Big Day Out offers women a wee revolution (http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200501/s1285826.htm)
No Wii jokes please.

*snort chuckle tee hee hee*
-
smfan1085: I encourage people to go off topic in my threads. It's more fun that way sometimes.
That is some weeird stuff! With all this new evidence swirling around me, I might have to go with the flow and drop my topic name before some peeople start to stand up in protest and can't hold in their anger.
-
No Wii jokes please.
I definitely agree.
I've been looking around on that site just a bit more. It appears from what's said there that those devices L'son was talking about are usually unnecessary for girls to be able to stand, but that it's sometimes easier for them to use them.
*still can't believe he's talking about this here >_>*
-
Not like this is some forbidden topic or something.
-
Yeah, that topic about toilet paper placement was awesome. I'm sure this can be a great thread as well.
-
Toilet paper placement is serious business, people.
-
I happened to go into a library bathroom today and opted for a stall because the urinals were those horrible kind shaped like toilet bowls sticking out of the wall. No barriers, either.
Then the toilet would not flush. Oh well.
For the record, I voted Sometimes.
-
Yeah, I prefer the urinals that go all the way down to the floor over the ones that don't.
-
Someone just told me about this site. A rather interesting read, actually.
http://www.femaleurinal.com/factsandfables.html (http://www.femaleurinal.com/factsandfables.html)
But I just realized something ironic about this discussion of women standing to relieve themselves in this topic: the info would obviously be most useful to girls, but it's not likely that there are a lot of girls viewing this thread. :/
-
Of course. I use the urinals at public bathrooms. They're convenient and easy to use. Now the toilet seats, that's another story. I refuse to use any of them unless my bladder is going to burst. Fear of catching some random STD I guess. Plus many of them are incredibly disgusting and very uncomfortable.
-
I never go "Number 2" in public, mostly because of the toilet seats. That and I feel like someone's going to bust the door down and attack me, and I'd be in a bad position to defend myself. I somehow doubt it's possible to get an STD from them, though. But yeah, for the most part, I get my business done how I can. I've become more accustomed to going "Number 1" in a stall when there are no dividers between the urinals.

Well, there's Crabs and uh...Crabs. There's probably some others but I'm not exactly sure what they are. I only know Crabs because of that Chappelle Show skit.
Hmmm, never thought my 1000th post would be spent talking about Crabs.
-
You get your health info from The Chappelle Show. I'm not sure if I should laugh or be sad.
-
Gwahahaha! I have no clue what that show is, but I choose to laugh!

Both.

Correction toward Koopaslaya's last post:
HAWWHAT?!
HOOOKAAYY!!
YAYEEAH!!
-
Personally, I'm sick of Lil' Jon's catchphrase. >:/
-
You're not alone. In general, I'm tired of people ruining Chappelle skits by repeating them until they lose their comedy value. Luckily, there isn't as many people doing Rick James impressions anymore but the Lil Jon ones seem to never die.
Luckily, Carlos Mencia jokes aren't as overused. So uh, Dee Dee Dee and stuff.
-
Except that some of Carlos Mencia's material on Mind of Mencia isn't original. Whoops.
-
Try Wanda Sykes jokes. It seems everyone's forgotten her.
-
I don't like Mencia's humor, but I don't mind some of Chapelle's humor. It's just that the Lil Jon stuff is way too overused. One of my friends occasionally asks me to shout those catch phrases, and it gets tiring. Let us remember Strong Bad's words of wisdom: "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, but too much of an awesome thing is... umm... really, really dumb and bad."
-
Ahem.
it's not likely that there are a lot of girls viewing this thread.
-
Well not really. If the name is "A poll for men only?", I would think girls would get curios and look, since there is a question mark. Girls are like that you know :P

Well, yea, but:
Male to Female Ratio: 6.9:1
-
And yes, I, a female (of the most civilized race, the female race...just kidding, guys!), DID view this thread when it first came was made (confession!!!) and there sometimes are urinals in womens bathrooms, but I always wondered what they were doing in the females bathroom. The question mark made me curious ;)
-
I've seen couches and televisions in women's bathrooms before. No, really. (before you ask why I know this, the door to the women's bathroom was opened at the same I time I was looking in the direction of the bathrooms. I saw a couch, a love seat, and a television.) The men's bathroom had none of these.
I don't know if there were urinals, though.
And don't give me this "All women are more civilised than all men" tripe+, either. While I'll agree that, on average, women my age tend to be less idiotic than men my age, I can think of many counterexamples for both sexes. *points to self for latter case*
+If you notice that I use this word a lot... I use it on the FF when I'd normally use a much more offensive noun in casual conversation.
-
Why not just change the name to "A poll about bathroom habits" or something like that?
-
"Bathroom habbits" sounds disgusting and not interesting at all.
-
Sorry, Koopaslayer. It was supposed to be a joke, but my dumb self forgot to put the "just-kidding". Crap.
-
i use the stall. then i have more privacy. this site www.malerestrooms.com has a video that every man can relate too.
-
Ok, the Wii jokes are out. ... Ya.
Continue.
-
I like the urinals that go all the way to the floor, that would make the perfect touch to a bachelor's pad.
-
That reminds me of the other day when I was taking a wizz at the men's room in the sports arena. I just went to take my little brother to the bathroom when I had the urge to go too. So I started up and the guy next to me is actually leaning to my side and looking at me. He had this face that makes me think he was either impressed or horrified. I really couldn't tell.
-
Sorry about that, my eyes tend to wander sometimes.
-
I can't stand wandering eyes, especially when theyre on me. I just look up at the ceiling when I'm at the urinal.
-
I too hate those air-dryers. They never truly work.
-
To quote Peter Griffin:
"Yeah, they never get 'em completely dry."
-
Man, I love the air-dryers. Especially the ones that are really warm. Sometimes I'd use one and the air that came out would be freezing cold.
-
But do they actually dry your hands?
-
Yeah...I actually prefer paper towels to air dryers.
-
For me, air dryers are better for drying because not only do they warm my hands while they dry them, but I don't have to rub paper towels on my somewhat dry hands, making the dryness painful and worse. Paper towels are better in the long run, though, because you can use them to open doors and stuff without getting who-knows-what all over your hands, just after washing them.
-
Well only God knows how many people have pushed the button to turn the air on. Oh well...we all have opinions.
-
What if we used both the paper towel and the air-dryer at the same time?
-
Well only God knows how many people have pushed the button to turn the air on. Oh well...we all have opinions.
That's why many have motion sensors on the bottom. You have to consider the same when using paper towel dispensers, though.

Guys, there's a new topic for this discussion (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=9388.0). Post in there instead of here, please. Don't make me split and merge posts into there. :P
-
Thanks, Sapph!
I remember complaining about air dryers in "Things That Drive You Nuts" and then later in "The Pointless Topic". I'm glad that people are starting to complain about them more because they personally drive me nuts. They might as well have a sign that says "Wipe your hands on your pants here!" Forgive me for my ranting.
Plus, why are the women's bathroom often so much better than the men's? Is it because the men would feel more manly with an ugly bathroom, or is it all a plot of the feminist movement to make women think they deserve better bathrooms? It all starts in the bathroom... and then it continues on to the rest of society! Just kidding. XD
-
Hey.
Without air dryers, we wouldn't have Push Button, Receive Bacon.
-
and with out bacon, you don't ahve anything to get your hands dirty, so you wont need to wash them,so you wonty need to dry your hands. Hey I made up a new word!! Wonty!
-
The dryers that are high-power are awesome.

Yup, I started it for this reason. Got see everybody's opinion, I guess...to see which one is really the best.
-
Out of the blue I just remembered something that made me laugh.
"Tinkle, tinkle little pee. It feels good to you and me. Up above the potty so high. Don't forget to zip your fly. Tinkle tinkle little pee. It feels good to you and me." (Sapphira's special poem)
-
You bumped a near month-old topic for that?
-
Hey I think it could make millions! Well not really. It's really creative though.

That old thread about making as least sense as possible reminds me of a little poem my grandpa taught me:
One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and shot the two dead boys
If you don't believe my tale is true
Ask the blind man, he saw it too

Whenever I try to use a urinal, I never have to go as much as I thought I did, and nothing comes out. And then someone walks in the bathroom, and I'm just standing there, clearly not peeing, and it looks weird. So I usually don't take that risk anymore.
Something I dislike: Guys who bypass all the urinals to go stand up in a stall and don't lift the seat. If you are a female reading this topic and you are upset that some guy somewhere leaves the seat up, be thankful that he lifted it in the first place, because that is what really matters. We have a bad habit of overestimating our aiming abilities. And then we just leave it there for someone else to clean up. Back when I was in a guys' dorm with a communal bathroom, a lifted seat was a welcome sight because it probably meant the seat was relatively dry.
-
Two little things: First, the dude walking in isn't noticing, it's going to be assumed you're peeing, and no one is going to spend a great deal of time checking. 2, if it is as clear that you aren't going, then you should reevaluate how you're standing at the urinal.
-
It's not the look, it's the sound. If there's just two people in the bathroom, it's quiet enough to hear that there's no liquid hitting the back of the urinal.
I can make like I just finished right before he walked in and just zip up and leave, but then I'm gonna have to go again in a few minutes. Also, I probably jumped a little when he came in because I sometimes startle easily, which makes me look even more suspicious.
-
I love urinals. There's something so refreshing about just unzipping my fly, putting my hands at my sides, and letting 'er rip.
