Bathroom Etiquette Rules

In my lifetime I have only been in one (1) private home that has both a toilet and a urinal in the bathroom. Only ONE. Odd how designers, architects, and owners think of adding various accoutrements but don't think of putting in a urinal.
 

[h=1]Why Men Pee Standing Up[/h]mark as unread


Seems God was just about done creating the universe, but he had two extra things left in his bag of creations, so he decided to split them between Adam and Eve. He told the couple that one of the things he had to give away was the ability to stand up while urinating.
"It's a very handy thing", God told the couple, "I was wondering if either one of you wanted that very ability."
Adam jumped up and blurted, "Oh, give that to me! I'd love to be able to do that! It seems a sort of thing a man should do. Oh please, oh please, oh please, let me have that ability. It'd be so great! When I'm working in the garden or naming the animals, I could just stand there and let it fly. It'd be so cool, I could write my name in the sand. Oh please God, let it be me who you give that gift to, let me stand and pee, oh please..."
On and on he went like an excited little boy who had to pee. Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted that so badly, that he should have it. It seemed to be the sort of thing that would make him happy and she really wouldn't mind if Adam were the one given this ability.
And so Adam was given the ability to urinate while in a vertical position. He was happy and did celebrate by wetting down the bark on the tree nearest him, laughing with delight all the while.
"Fine," God said looking back into his bag of leftovers. "What's left here? Oh yes, brains...."
 
There is a way to add a urinal to the existing toilet to solve the problem.. and doesn't look as bad as a urinal on the wall... It solves the problem.

That add-on really doesn't look bad at all. I can see where lack of space might be an issue in smaller bathrooms, but I’ve see q lot of larger bathrooms in home and it just seems to me that urinals are not something people consider. Also, a urinal isn’t the most attractive piece of equipment, but neither is a toilet. Maybe people feel that a urinal would make their bathroom look too much like a public restroom. :shrug:

Personally... I would have preferred that all the men in my house would have peed sitting down... It prevents that nasty splashing... missing the bowl and hitting the wall due to dual streams... etc... and the stinky clean up around the toilet.. Most men have really bad aim.

Im telling Bruce J. what you said, she'll be peed off.
 
Wow, I must say as the poster to the thread, I find many of the comments interesting to down right funny. I guess it's good to have a seniors sense of humor. "Our aim is to keep a clean restroom, your aim will help!" The comments given somehow got a little skewed off topic from the post. However, I must thank the "Ladies" like SeaBreeze, Robusta and Ameriscot, they get it and understand why men out of respect for their wife and friends would sit when you make pee pee. It is a lot cleaner and you eliminate all that splashing that sticks to the tub, floor, bathroom scale and your reading material. I understand that a man would stand in a bar, or on a plane, etc. etc. And most women would stand as well in a plane so I've been told. But in your home, in your friends home, take a seat when you pee, you never 'know' when you may be asked to take your shoes off...
 
Well, someone has to say it: This thread is really pissing me off.

Reminds me of an episode of "Married With Children:"
Al, complaining about his wife never cooking: "Peggy can't understand the simple concept of making a sandwich - Bread, Meat, Bread."
Peggy: "And my husband can't understand the simple concept of Lift, Pee, Flush."

And, HEY, where is that guy who doesn't like these types of threads? :grin:
 
I'm not even sure what this thread is all about. Is it about aiming? If you're the one who has to clean the toilet, I think you know the answer.
 
What a charming little subject. I've never seen this thread before. I just yelled into the other room and asked my husband if he's ever sat down to pee and he said "No, I have a little hose to aim with." He always puts the seat back down when he's through so that's all I need to know.
 
One time when I was visiting my cousin they were having a drought and she was afraid her well might run dry. So she asked that I only flush if it's brown. Since then I sometimes practice that at home to save water.

Sitting down to pee doesn't work very well for men. Especially older men.
