The movie 'Waiting' has a character whose entire arc is them trying to get over urinal anxiety while working one crazy shift at an Applebee's clone.

Early Ryan Reynolds. Some of the humor hasn't aged well, but it shines a light on the service industry for those that haven't worked in a kitchen/bar/restaurant.

I remember a movie called Caffeine from when I was a kid and one of the characters had a nervous bladder. One of his friends kept telling him it might be prostate cancer (while he was trying to pee) and it only made him more frustrated and nervous.

Later in the movie, someone is being mean to him and he just snaps and lies saying, "You know what? I've got cancer! So back off!"

Why is this post full of people who are seemingly overtly defensive over the idea of urinals? Did I miss something? The comic is a joke. Every other poster here trying to make sure everyone knows they can and will always use a urinal. An ode of fragile masculinity.

No disagreeing with the title or you have fragile masculinity!

If you don't like urinals, don't use them. If you say something shouldn't exist when many people prefer to use it over the other options, expect pushback, even if it's in a humorous context.

The comic feels like a joke here but the title feels like there's some serious sentiment behind it, even if it doesn't have any real intent to actually ban urinals.

I'm here trying to understand what's wrong with urinals lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago

They're just bad. The pro is that they take up less space so more people can pee in parallel vs toilets.

The con is that using one without splashing piss all over everything is a skill check.

The BigO of urinal is basically "piss on a wall"

This reply makes me feel defensive and outraged.

Legend has it that alpha males stand in front of each other when they pee, looking straight into each other's eyes and sometimes arm wrestling with their free hand.

I need both hands to control my alpha male fire hose. The girth of my manly urethra is enough to fit an average penis. I can empty my bladder in 3 seconds, but it is an intense 3 seconds. You'll be damned sure I'm staring you straight in the eye from across our opposed urinals as I do. And I expect a small kiss, out of respect, before I leave.

That's pretty thoughtful to put drink dispensers next to portapotty's.
