Every time I use a urinal my hand always gets covered in spray. I hate it. I just piss in the toilet, using paper to lift the seat and use my foot to hit the flusher. Works well.

On the plus side if your hand gets covered in spray you're not just wasting your time when you wash your hands.

At least you lift the seat, that's all I really ask.

Not sure the difficulty people have with urinals though, I never get pee-hands from them.

Splashback
Leakage
"Publicity"
No toilet paper.
Difficult access.

All of the above makes me use the stall.

So now the stall is ruined for the next person if they have serious business to attend to.

Why the hell can't you just use the urinal like a grown-up? Are you 4 years old and afraid the urinal monster is going to bite your weiner off? WTF is wrong with you? At least aim properly, idiots. :disgust:

We have a guy here like that. Really annoying. I guess it's ok if you don't like using the stall for some reason. But at least have the damn common courtesy to clean up after yourself. I have no respect for the guy professionally as a result of his urinary habits.

He stands there looking at the bowl for a moment, then I notice behind me that water is starting to overflow from the toilet as he is standing there watching it. Buddy just shrugs his shoulders and walks out, not even warning me or anything. Five more seconds and I would have been ankle-deep in shitwater.

Of course I finish washing my hands and quickly get out of there. I then go to the receptionist to ask if anyone reported the bathroom flooded (knowing full well this jerk would not have done it, but I asked anyway) and of course she said no, so I told her and she called someone to fix it.

If you are going to flood the the bathroom at least have the decency to tell someone! Arrgghhh, I'm choking on my own rage here. :|

Those guys sound like complete narquats. Do you really want them using the urinal though? From the sound of it, they'd miss, and end up pissing all over the floor, or shooting into your lane (hey, I'm standing here!), or somehow getting it on the ceiling... which, admittedly, I would have to applaud. But yeah, some real winners at your work.

Oh good lord, I could totally imagine them shooting in my lane. That would piss me off (pun intended) even more.

WTF? Where are you? That's the strangest bathroom behaviour I've ever heard.

do you work at Visa?

PS: I am a consultant and I will pee in the stall if I feel like it, in fact I like to use the handicap stalls b/c they are larger. I however do not pee on the seat.

Usually I pee in the urinal, but yes last drop syndrome and splash back is not good. Especially since I usually only have 2 pairs of dress pants for the week.

i don't get it either. must have an issue with their wiener size and think another guy is going to call them out on it.

I don't understand the pissing on the seat and usually the floor too, but then I don't know how people can get crap on the top of the lid either.

You try to shake the shit off, but it never goes away completely. It just sits there. I could just say fuck it, and zip up, which just results in that drop of piss hitting my underwear and becoming a nasty wet spot that I have to bump up against for the rest of the day... or I could use my fingers and wipe the shit off, but then I've got piss on my hands. So I use toilet paper, wipe that shit up, and stay nice and piss-free for the rest of the day. But there's no toilet paper at the urinal... gotta go to the stall for that one. Ergo, I prefer pissing in stalls.

First acceptable reason given. I hate that last drop. When I can't get it off I just chance the wet spot, but it's never been that bad. And I think that's a universal problem, regardless of whether or not you're playing with a helmet.

Helmet free here, problem still exists. I piss in stalls, but I've got James Bond aiming cock, I don't hit the rim or the floor.

Pissing in handicapped stalls = roxxor. Wipe seat down, wash hands, grab some damp TP, sit down, piss, and wipe willie down. No piss on pants, shirt, floor, leg, arm, nose, or anything other than the inside of the toilet bowl.

Oh, another great deterent is the fear of dropping something in. When I was 7 or something, I dropped a weeks worth of homework in while I was zipping up. It was one of the bigger/older urinals that go all the way to the floor. My shoes caught a lot of flak, but nothing felt worse than having to fish out a wad of yellow paper...

Wow this thread is pretty ridiculous. First off, there are spots in the urinal that wont give splashback, it's all about angle. Secondly, what about peeing in a trough? I've been to ballparks / bars that only have troughs to piss in. Will you stall only guys wait for a stall when your kidneys are about to explode just because someone might glance at your wang? I'm there to pee, if I got to go I don't care where it is.

Also, at some venues the line for the guys bathroom can be out the door. 2 urinals, 1 stall, what do you do when it's your turn and you really have to go? Are you going to stand there in the bathroom claiming the only stall? Just take a piss, it's not a big deal.

Troughs don't splash. I'll piss in public if I have to, then at least I can just piss into the distance, or even better, sand, and not have to worry about it getting all over the place.

I have no problem using a stall. It is uncomfortable if there is someone using the stalls right next to me, but it won't stop me from using one.

Though I hate it when someone I am not absolutely 100% comfortable with starts talking to me. Motherfucker can't wait 3 minutes to talk to me?

I love the floor-length urinals that don't have the splash-back problem. I HATE the small ones that sit up high where you have to aim damn near straight in.
