Urinal Partitions

[g-boy]

Hey, it may seem stupid to you, but I went on a long rant about this (and plan on adding it to my standup routine). I don't understand the logic of public bathrooms that do not have partitions between the urinals. Some have the shape of urinals that you can sorta hump the wall and you're hidden behind the porcelain (like at my high school) but you gotta becareful of splashage. Those I can perhaps understand. Then there are the kind that are nice and low because I guess midgets and children get urinal priority, and you sorta gotta aim downwards... but you are hanging out for everyone to see. What ends up happening is you go at an angle to point away from the person next to you, then someone comes on your other side and now you're pointed right at him. At that point I say screw it and go to the toilet. Not that I don't mind sharing little g with others, it's just that I'd prefer the others to be female and another fluid other than urine be coming out.

Now, here's my thing. I understand maybe you have to pay extra to get a piece of wood that matches the tiles and attach it to the wall, but how much can it be? Most movie theaters (the most often public bathroom for me) have the automatic flush thing... little infrared sensor notices when you move away and flushes as you walk away. They put the same shit on the faucets. How about we get rid of those and just use the extra money for partitions? How essential is it to have hands free flushing? Do we not do it at home al the time? Oh, and I know most here have probably not been to Dodger Stadium (except some socal bruthas), but it's the worst there... it's just a long trough that you pee into. At least Staples Center is relatively normal.

There is an etiquette when 2 guys are standing side by side in the bathroom. Like saying sorry and np and gg (when another says it inparticular) in ricochet. Once you lose etiquette its a feast for the eyes. I dont think its really a problem as long as that etiquette stays. Once you get people who dont follow proper etiquette then you need the partitions.

Edit: I have never had a problem with someone sizing me up.

Edit2: I love those IR things. Hours of entertainment.

Funny urinal story. Last week I ate a ton of asparagus for the first time. YES I HAVE NEVER ATE ASPARAGUS! It was at a catered lunch at work. 2 hours later...I went to the john and used the urinal. OH WOW...I had this smell hit me up from the urinal.....bad odor. I wondered what it was but didn't investigate. Thought it was just a wierd bathroom smell. Hour later...came in again. I went to the OTHER urinal...thinking that the odor was in the first one. AHHHHH....then WOW....smell hit me. I thought the water in
the bathroom at work was bad or something. DRIVING ME CRAZY NOW. 4 hours later....I realized that eating asparagus will make your tinkle smell real bad. This was just my first experience. LOL. Now I want to eat some more and retest my hypothesis. :P

Kinda like smelling dog poo in the house and you can't find it everywhere you look. Then you realize it's on your shoes. HEHE.

You can't do anything with the partitions, but with the sensors you can tape them so that the sensor keeps making the toilet flush. Or else play a game with them. See how close you can get before it realizes you're there. At our they have those and unless you're really close they don't flush, so we try to see how close we can get.

Also, the funny bathroom story I have is that my friend was using the urinal, and a teacher came up beside him during a break to use the bathroom. That day there was a field trip to a near by college. The teacher looked at the kid and said, "So, did you see anything you liked?" Then it hit the teacher what he just said, and said at the field trip.

[GRITS]

Men and their bathroom antics. Women's bathrooms are not near as exciting.

PIX.....asparagus is a natural diuretic and the odor is real but I am not sure about the science behind it.....I wonder if wha? knows?

I wanna know when they have those 'troughs' how do you decide where that imaginary boundary is?

It's no wonder some guys choose to pee by a tree.

thanks guys I laughed so hard I gave myself a headache.:P

btw I'm a woman and I always use the toilet, but I don't always sit down.^_^

[Turtle]

Hehe I probably shouldn't tell this story, but one time on a band trip my mom had to go to the bathroom so badly that she grabbed a couple of friends of her's that went and made the stand watch, and went and used the parking lot as a bathroom.

[PIX]

Best thing to do in a urinal area: When there are already guys right beside you...you ease up to the bowl area....unzip and
go "WOW....the water's cold today!!! " Guys will laugh at you every time.

And BTW...in those 'trough' urinal areas....NEVER....I REPEAT...NEVER....cross the streams.....it will cause devistation!!

[Gwarsbane]

LMAO @ Pix great little story.


I dare you to do that when someone is there LOL

[g-boy]

I don't necessarily mean guys "sizing you up" I meant just the corner of the eye thing... and that sheer uncomfort of exposure. Could be another argument pix could have for getting guys in the military... complete comfort with other naked men particularly in a shower scenario. Then again, prison is also good for that.

lol. . do I sense a little spite there? :P

[[CAKE]anonymity]

if your so worried about it lean away from the guy standing beside you. If your worried about the larger opening on the opposite side take a corner urinal. You better be carefull tho, you might develop a nervous compulsive disorder.

I'll remember to tell that story to the customers PIX. Personally when i first started reading that i thought it was a bad urinal....

...

pie.

:offtopic:has anon always had a signature? or am I crazy?:baaa: <--he ran out of room. . the rest of the sign is supposed to say "ck on topic"

* [CAKE]anonymity gives the award for the first person noticing the new signature. Congrats FF.

I decided I needed one. I decided I wanted something that would sum me up quite well in a few short words and worlds greatest love maching just sounded a bit to cocky for my tastes, so i settled on this.

[fritoman]

I dont mind peeing next to someone that much, but I dont like it when the guy next to you is very proud of himself and stand back for all to see, thats when I get real unconfortable.

funny pee story, went to Chiefs statium and they had a round bason that had a tube that ran all the way around it that sprayed out water, so that when you were done you can wash your hands off, but the 2 boys about 9 or 10 didnt realize what it was for and were standing there peeing in it with god and everyone watching in amazement. needless to say I didnt feel much like washing up afterward :blsh:

[PIX]

Well now Frito.....dats ones of dem fancy smansy BEEDAYS dem boys is tinklin in...:lol:

[GRITS]

ok fritos comments shouldn't really count he is the guy that spent his vacation at a nudist resort remember?

[[CAKE]anonymity]

heh, wha and I were talking about that. I always wondered what the sexual tension would be like.

[PIX]

I'd be funny to spike the water there with Viagra.

nudest camp.....muhahahah...still makes me laugh.

[Chentvin]

I don't like when the urinals are too low... I am almost 2 metres high and I don't want to get on my knee to piss!!!

[g-boy]

For the uneducated Americans, that means chent is about 6 feet tall, he's not a midget.

[jabbahunt]

my response to the water being cold is always, "deep too"

[GRITS]

I know that joke:lol:wasnt sure it would work in a urinal thread

[Wanksta]

You can't do anything with the partitions, but with the sensors you can tape them so that the sensor keeps making the toilet flush.

I gotta try that some day...:P

[Wha?]

It wouldn't work.. the sensor detects change, not obstruction.

[Chentvin]

It wouldn't work.. the sensor detects change, not obstruction.

Would that works with a flashlight? maybe funny things to try... :P

[[CAKE]anonymity]

Laser pointed maybe, but you would have to get it pretty accuratley in the sensor.

[fritoman]

at the nudist camp they had partitions in the bathroom :lol:

[PIX]

It's the same type of IR sensor on home alarms. Invisible beam sent out to a fixed point. When that point is broken, the circuit
is activated. In the case of the urinal device, when the beam is broken, you are standing in front of it. When you move out of it's way, the circuit is activated and the toilet flushes. This demo gives you a very scientific breakdown.:lol:

I guess they don't wipe over there.

[GRITS]

Do they one that puts the seat back down?? now that one could turn over the big bucks
