Standing to Pee

Something has always bewildered me about some men...and some women for that matter but that is another discussion. If you are male, and have to pee, why do you insist on walking past the open urinals to a stall and piss on the toilet seat?

This question has come up for me more than once. I personally have never been able to understand the mentality behind this action. The reason they hung these things on the wall was so you don't pee on the toilet seat. Is it due to the fact you don't feel like kissing the tile or hugging the flush valve? Are you unable to keep your balance while urinating and have to lean against the stall wall? If either of these are the case, then sit your butt down!

You all miss. For some reason, either the three feet from your wick to the bowl is too much of a stretch, or your cut a bit on the short side and don't realize it.

For the women readers, here is where I am going with this...they miss and either hit the seat (because men don't lift) or the floor gets the dribble. Hitting the seat is self-evident and can usually be avoided. However, when you need to sit down because you just had the chili-cheese dog with baked beans, the very last thing you want is your pants legs draped on the floor where the guy with the mini-me didn't realize he was shorter than he thought.

Another one of my pet peaves (or just makes me want to hurl) is when somebody else does NOT flush after purging his chili-cheese dog. How lazy does someone have to be to make sure the autoflush or the lever actually flushes? I am not sure if women have this issue, but for some reason, men just don't take the time or have the courtesy to listen for the FROOOOSH! If it doesn't FROOOOSH, go back and hit the silly little button. Because if I stand in line for the stall and you were in there and didn't make sure, the bathroom will sound something like this:

"OH MY GAWD! That has got to be the biggest, nastiest, smelliest crap that I have ever seen! If I were you mister, I would head to the hospital instead of the hot dog vendor!"

Man gives me the look of death...

"Hey, James! You should see the size and weird color of the turd this guy left! Bring your camera!"

I seriously doubt anyone in that bathroom would ever leave the toilet unflushed again.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). A little toilet courtesy would be much appreciated and goes a long way. Oh, and lay off the chili-cheese dogs.

Did you know...

The world's nicest public restroom and Golden Plunger holder is the The Shoji Tabuchi Theater in Branson, Missouri.
