In Europe there is an 'anti-sprinkle' movement, the goal of which is
to encourage men to sit down when they pee, and thus avoid the
sprinkle effect. Restrooms in all the countries across the continent
have signs urging men to be thoughtful gentlemen and sit down when
they do their business. My brother-in-law, a German lawyer, as with
many European men, now sits down when he conducts his business.
Because he's always been a thoughtful gentleman.

Ladies, don't get your hopes up because that's never going to happen
in America. Men in the states are going to continue to stand, and
they're going to continue to sprinkle, and you - I'm sorry to say -
are going to continue to clean up these sprinkles. Because they won't
do it themselves.

It's certainly a cultural thing as we see in the above example of my
brother-in-law and all those other European men. Part of being a man
here in America is that you stand when you urinate, since you are not
a woman and women, we know, pee sitting down. Indeed there

Half the public toilets in Europe are a hole in the ground, the other half
have no seat on them.

I consider myself a gentleman and never use a public toilet for anything other
than urinating. If you want the toilet seat to be sprinkle free, you would do
well to reach down and pick it up out of the way. I am going to stand and if
the seat is down I will urinate through the hole in it. If the seat is up I
will urinate directly into the bowl. But since I have no interest in using the
seat myself, I see no reason why I should be required to touch it, particularly
so something so sterile as somebody else's ass can then use it.

Not my yob, man... not my yob. Know whut I mean, Earl?

And for the women who protest that they might sit in the water if I don't flip
it back down, I'd suggest that sitting in the water even one time would cure you
of that stupidity. If it doesn't, you deserve to sit in the water.

They want us to do diddly squat? I think the male bladder drains
more completely from a standing position. Be a clean gent- lift the
seat with your foot.

I always (well, not always) wonder how women deal with the restrooms on
airplanes. Do they actually sit down?

At several new restaurants around here, they have eliminated the MEN's
ROOM - WOMEN's ROOM concept. The sign on the door just says RESTROOM.
At least you can still lock the door.

This wouldn't be such a bad concept, except that there are no urinals
in any of these rooms. (Probably, this is because women would find
the concept of a urinal in their restroom disgusting).

So, for the time being, it looks as though they are going to have to
share the bowl with men who stand up and spray. What a concept! I
know men that, when confronted with the absence of a urinal, will make
a special effort to spray and disperse far and wide.

As bad as it is, in San Francisco, the restroom situation was even
worse. I saw some restrooms that, in an apparent effort to be "gender
neutral" and not offend trans-gendered people. You could never tell
if you were in the right room or not.

I fear if Hillary is elected, we are going to see more of these...

As a man, I long for the good old days... These were often found in
old buildings in big cities like Chicago and New York. Spacious
marble toilet partitions and plenty of full size floor-to-shoulder
porcelain urinals where a man could **** in style. Now that was a
men's room...

In spite of what they say, 80% of women don't, in fact, sit down. They
squat.

I saw it (the results, not the raw data) on the internet.

Because you are in an enclosed stall and have a bit more security.

it's simple to use your foot to flip up the seat,and courteous to do it.
Have some class.

Or, more likely, they grab a wad of toilet paper, wipe off the seat
the best they can, wash their hands, pull off two lengths of toilet
paper and lay those down on top of each side of the toilet seat
horseshoe, and then position their posteriors over the hole, trying
not to sit but at least being buttressed with some insulating
protection against the sprayers' cooties. Some women really need to
sit.

I think urinals are a fine idea in co-ed bathrooms as long as the
sprayers use those and not the toilets.

I spent 11 months in Germany, 1971.

The men's urinal was a tiled wall, whizz and it ran down the wall.
Trough (sp) at the bottom drained into a floor drain. The wall was
rinsed/flushed by a pipe system (I can't describe).

Old drive in movies in Las Vegas used to have those.

I ran across at least one in [probably] NY in the mid-late 50's.
Either on the Thruway or in a hotel in Yonkers or Poughkeepsie.

The old 1st Bn. barracks on Parris Island had a stainless steel trough
in '68. It was urinal height, but allowed a lot more Marines to
stand elbow to elbow for the 2 minute ****-call.

That's common in England - usually a stainless trough the width of one wall.

I've been lifting toilet seats, in that situation, with the toe of my

some sort of disability, I guess.

And for the women who protest that they might sit in the water if I don't flip
