How do you enforce the policy?

dnrtfa

I have to admit. Most mens' rooms I see when I'm traveling have suspiciously non-water-like puddles under the urinals.

I have no issue with this... because I only ever go when I have to do both and I hate it when people wizz all over the seat.

"...at how much dirtier the men's washrooms were than the women's. "

I'm guessing he didn't clean the women's bathroom all that much, then.

FWIW, I am frequently disgusted by the aim of my fellow men. Especially when I have to put my feet by the urinal.

Or, even worse, when I need to poop and someone has peed in the stall without lifting the seat, and sprayed all over the seat.

They should be more specific. Seems to me they have only banned peeing INTO the toilet standing up. They clearly did not ban peeing on the floor standing or sitting.

pinch and spray

AlwaysRightBoy: I just want to say I can write my full name in the snow or on the guys shoe standing in the next stall.

/waits for stall jokes...

Does it look like Braille?

But, still, isn't banning stand-up peeing a little extreme? Not to mention, as far as I can tell, completely unenforceable?

What are they gonna do? Throw you out? They do that and I won't pay my bill.

Women are used to cleaning up after men. Let them clean up at the restaurant too.

/I haven't done any chores for 35 yrs.. why start now?

Ah hell no. I'm not sitting on a freakin' toilet seat in a restaurant or bar to take a whiz. A lot of women only squat over public toilets so that they don't have to touch their butt to other people's skank-juices. My wife says that public ladies rooms can be the nastiest places around. She'd much rather use the mens room, since we have urinals and maybe dribble on the floor at worst.

Even more surprising, though, was the sign above the toilet, showing a stick man tinkling into a toilet with a line through it. Yes, Edible Canada has banned men from peeing standing up.

I think they should ban women from peeing standing up too! They make far more mess than a man does.

Three questions come immediately to mind.

How are they going to enforce it?

Are they also going to insist that women who utilize the hover, spray and pray method to sit all the way down?

What kind of a restaurant has one unisex bathroom?

Whats the punishment for peeing on the no peeing sign?

You have to eat their pretentious food and endure the assholes that frequent the rathole

Seems aprapos

no, i will not urinate while sitting down.

i cannot get a complete evacuation that way - it just means that there's more of a chance of ending up with a piss-spot on my pants because i couldn't get it all out.

no, i will not urinate while sitting down. nobody will ever force me to do that. i will compensate by occasionally wiping down the throne.

How many times a day do you shiat?

LordZorch: As someone that worked as a janitor, I can tell you that women are far more disgusting than men when it comes to messing up a bathroom. Men piss on the floor. Women manage to shiat on the walls and ceiling, leave tampons on the floor, can't find the toilet with dirty tp, and generally leave the place a mess.

And that was the public bathroom. The women's employee bathroom was much worse.

Came here to say this, through the stories relayed by Mrs. Magnet.

If you can aim that high, you should lay off the viagra.

If you want guys to quit pissing on the seat, put in a urinal, duh!

I love the all encompassing fight for womens' rights to be equal every where except the bathroom. Apparently women are capable of anything a man is except raising/lowering a toilet sit. What is it in DNA that makes a man or woman more capable, or incapable of doing this? I lift the the seat as a courtesy, but apparently I should lower it too? Why not be 50/50 about this? Men raise the toilet seat, women lower. It's not a hard task ladies. It can best be summed up in this little poem that is best left written on the walls of unisex bathrooms

Men lift the seat
in case we miss.
Would you rather lower it,
or sit in piss?

pudding7: Tatsuhiko: I have no issue with this... because I only ever go when I have to do both and I hate it when people wizz all over the seat.

You only ever "go" when you have to "do both"?

Am I to interpret that as meaning you will only pee if you also have to poop? How often do you poop?

poop thread?

Yeah, because women NEVER hover 3-5 inches from the seat and spray that shiat piss absolutely everywhere.

Some nanny-type at my office keeps posting this in the mens' washroom:



If he'd posted it a little lower, I'd be tempted to pee on it.

Just try and stop me!

Well he doesn't explicitly state what you should aim at.

Well it's at least good for a laugh when your girlfriend yells at you from the bathroom because she didn't look and almost fell in.

Prefers to pee sitting down.

I have a feeling that the owners and most patrons of the establishment in question would find that a highly aggressive and offensive move. There would likely be repercussions. Annoying little passive aggressive repercussions, but repercussions nonetheless.

Its not so much an aiming thing as a splashing thing.

I usually step into the stall
close the door
drop my trousers
relax
and spin like a sprinkler.

is this wrong?

Two Hearted: "...at how much dirtier the men's washrooms were than the women's. "

Bingo! Ask anyone who's owned a cleaning service or two and they will tell you it's a mystery why the sign on the door reads "Ladies". Things you don't want to see, stories you don't want to hear.

Yeah, you might get some on your shoes.

This, this, a thousand times this. Women are disgusting filth pigs.

Just to toss my hat into the ring...

The odds of actually "catching something from a toilet seat" are infintessimally small, because to start with, your butt cheeks aren't very good at absorbing germs.

In addition, are probably 5 times or more pathogens right now on your computer keyboard or mouse that your average public toilet seat! You stand a way better chance of getting sick from eating at your computer than a gas station toilet seat.

So, "catching something from a toilet seat" probably started because some girl with an STD didn't want her parents to find out she was bumping uglies with some guy.

It really belongs in the "Going outside with wet hair gives you pneumonia" or the "need to wait 1/2 hour after eating before you go in the water" league of debunked old wive's tales.

STOP BELIEVING THIS NONSENSE, PEOPLE!!!

The only problem I have with urinals or toilets is splash back, i'm constantly having to figure out the setup of new urinals to aim at the right spot for no splash back.

Since we are on the toilet conversation, I don't see what the big deal is about the toilet seat ladies. Always saying 'put the toilet seat down!' and I never understood why. I mean, it's not like I ever catch you putting the seat up for my convenience.

Day_Old_Dutchie: In addition, are probably 5 times or more pathogens right now on your computer keyboard or mouse that your average public toilet seat!

Ah, but I use my keyboard as a toilet seat, so I'm all set.

Ah yes, the Virgin Mary excuse.

I have to go forward this message to 100 friends or Bill Gates will turn off my Windows account.

Wait, where is this place? Vancouver? Okay, got it. I'll remember to stop by there after having a six pack or two of brewskies, so I can hustle in, wearing a pair of galoshes, and piss like a cow on a flat rock. If you're lucky, you might even hear my internal air pressure being violently released, intermittently, from a couple of places.

In other words, screw that dinky little hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

Is that what happened to the 'Enter' key?
