Have a sit down

At women here who think sitting on a public toilet is unsanitary;

Ladies public toilets get dirty because people DO NOT sit on them and spray everywhere. You sit on your haunches not you private area so there shouldn't be anything left on the seat that is particularly fowl if you sit down other than sweat. I'm pretty sure hands are dirtier than the back of your thighs and outer buttock. You do still use door knobs?
I'm sick of bathrooms where there is pee everywhere because those who are afraid of getting dirty fail to see they are the ones making the mess.

It's totally cool for dude to stand though seeing as they should be able to control their stream (or at least one would hope).

@Boebeena Use paper towels to clean the toilet seat before using it. Then put down a paper toilet seat cover to ensure extra cleanliness (assuming they have paper toilet seat covers in canadian public restrooms).

@PaxRomana Haha, no usually no toilet seat covers. It's easy enough to just wipe the seat down with TP after someone sprayed all over it but it is still a huge pain in the ass. As the old saying goes "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie". Why do people think their mess should be someone else's problem?

I don't get why urinals even exist. Would't it be more conventional to just have toilets where you can both $hit and pee?
Or why masculinity is so fragile. When you sit, nobody has to clean the floor and walls everyday.

@Sisu
Urinals exist FOR convenience... and efficiency, particularly in public places where there will be a lot of traffic in the bathrooms.

They exist because a line of urinals takes up much less space than a line of toilet stalls. Even if there's a long lineup, the men who just need to piss can quickly do their business and go, while only the men who need to shit will take the extra time to enter a stall, turn around, lock the door, undo and drop their pants, sit, focus, shit, pull out a bunch of too-thin poo-tickets of toilet paper, wipe, stand, pull up and do up their pants, flush, unlock the stall, and leave. Ideally, both groups will wash their hands next before they go. >_>

This is why the line for the women's restroom is always longer. They ALL need to do the full stall routine, and there's fewer total stalls in there than the mens room has total stalls + urinals.

This reminds me of one time in Elementary School some kid pooped in the urinal and smeared it all over the bathroom

Sorry I walked in on you Germany! Now, where is the girl's bathroom...

I heard that in Germany a common insult is "sitzpinkler" meaning a man who sits to pee. These two things are not adding up...

@Hinoron woman use this standing portable urinal kit when travel, to avoid Cervix cancer https://m.id.aliexpress.com/item/32921626430.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail

@RusA
Oh sure, there's a number of different products like that for campers, such as "Lady Canoe".
(Not sure what cervical cancer has to do with it. Women pee out their urethra).

@Hinoron what "lady canoe"? https://images.app.goo.gl/NJwhNSXrMEJqB9xQ9

@RusA
Just another brand name for one of these things (It was shaped more like a little canoe, but with an open end... a bit like this one: )

@Hinoron ow...thanx for that picture

You know though for some reason I heard the word for "someone who sits to pee" is an insult in Germany.. ._.

i clicked the random button and saw this XD

@That1Weird0 Same

@That1Weird0 Also same.

I clicked random and i ended up here. Sorry Germany!

Well, when there's urinals available, it might be seen as rude to take up a stall to pee in, preventing someone who needs to shit from using it. Would kind of piss me off if I needed to go #2 and some guy was ignoring the urinals to piss upright into the only pot.

Courtesy aside though, it's much better to pee sitting down. We can't fully empty our bladders from a standing position, like tipping a full glass over all but 20 degrees; you just can't get that last bit out. Also, have you noticed after peeing standing, and tucking yourself away, a few of those leftover drops usually end up leaking out into your underwear (hope they weren't white!) I might take advantage of a urinal if I'm in a hurry, but if I have time, I always sit down and do the job properly.
