This cartoon can't exist. Urinal etiquette requires:

That you should have one empty urinal between you and the next guy if at all possible. And always go to the nearest open urinal when you enter.

And that you look straight ahead and never look to either side of you. You must stare solely at the wall straight ahead of you. Thoughtful establishments hang pictures or current sales flyers at eye level to look at while peeing.

And most of all, you must never speak to anyone in there. So there is absolutely no way this cartoon can happen in the real world.

Just don't shake it more than twice while its in your hand and the police needn't be involved

I lived in a house once that had a urinal and it was the best thing ever, especially for the first pee of the day. Normalize home urinals!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

I just pee outside.

All houses have at least one urinal. The cool thing is, you're also able to wash your hands in it afterwards!

Use a urinal while wearing shorts and you'll change your opinion. I avoid them as much as I can preferring to sit, but sometimes that option is worse than the urinal..

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it doesn't work so well with morning wood, but at all other times I aim toward the bottom so the pee's hitting the back wall at less than about a 30° angle. I guess compared to sitting there's gonna be more splash back, but even with shorts I don't really notice anything. I'm sure it'd be different if you power blast the wall or base at 90°.

Maybe it depends on the urinal? In the US I have seen urinals that basically reach from the floor to your waist, which I imagine involves some splashing. Here in Europe I've only seen the ones that are way smaller, around waist height.

Those aren't so common due to cost. But those have the advantage of allowing someone who is tall and someone who is short to be able to comfortably pee.

I don't understand why they don't just install partitions. One that goes from the very bottom to the very top. A thin plank would do it. Not these 50cm pseudo partitions. That's why I prefer to use a cabin when a lot of people are peeing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

Come to our uni. Each toilets at our faculty have the first cabin be a urinal for some reason. Real nice if you a re a shy pisser.

Well. This comic certainly isn't making it easier.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Why are you reading comics at the urinal while you're trying to pee?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

jokes on you guys I'm reading this while peeing on a regular toilet where I can relax

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It helps me relax. Usually.

The only evidence of the "grand gay conspiracy" people keep talking about is the existence of bath-tub (multi-user) urinals.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Yea nah, that is not a sexy situation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid when my redneck racist homophobic dad would drag us to the dirt track to watch other drunk rednecks race each other in their first track cars... Hang on...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

I would have thought trough over tub... but i guess that depends entirely on the type of multi-user you're going for...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

I said. I can't HEAR YOU PISS!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

"Nice watch"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I've never used a urinal. it's weird and also some of them are disgusting, they almost guarantee splashback

edit: are, not ate

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

If you're eating at a urinal you're doing something wrong
