I'm a dude and i want stalls every time. I HATE pissing in a urinal next to a bunch of other people and get piss splashed on everything. So so so many bacteria.

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 month ago

There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact

I love urinals, carefree pissing

That's a breath mint, silly goose.

If I can, and it's clean, I always prefer to sit down to piss. I just want a break, man. Leave me alone for 5.

I think it's so stupid that this is taboo.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard about it being taboo, but I never understood how anyone would even know a guy's doing this.

You can see feet under the stall door AC the recognize the shoes, or you might be walking into the restroom at the moment they exit the stall. That's how you would know.

I think it's dumb too

And how do you know they're not taking a shit?

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Real men shit in the urinals.

Wish granted. It’s a stall with a urinal but the walls and door are plain clear glass.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

As long as I’m not getting splashed then I’ll take it

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

In my experience public toilets are so badly maintained that I'd rather avoid touching any porcelain besides that of the sink. That's one of the main reasons I go for urinals. It's also often the most direct way to achieve my objectives if my only goal is to urinate, unless there are other people in which case I hover around waiting for one urinal to become less crowded or just use a stall if it doesn't look disgusting.

Maybe you should do something about that UTI
