I get that they are more space efficient and I will use them at the airport or a stadium, but to me it’s just so degrading. Like this is a restaurant not the back woods- and don’t get me started on the trough.

Also if it’s empty in the restroom I might scroll Wikipedia in peace, and that makes me a scholar. The urinal? That’s for ticktock at best.

I learned so much on the pot that I pretty much have 3 PhDs at this point.

Anyway I guess sitting down to piss is joked about as immasculating; but if spraying my pee like a rarely used showerhead setting across 3 toilet seats makes me a man, then I don’t wanna be one.

    I think urinals are fine, I just like them to have nice separators. If it’s a busy bathroom and there are no separators I pee in a stall.

    Though to your other points, I really don’t think public bathrooms are for anything other than get in get out. People sitting down and reading articles just makes for more people being in the restroom vying for space. Why hang out where people are getting rid of waste, when you can hang out where it smells like food at the table?

    The idea of scrolling a phone while using a urinal just seems crazy to me as well I guess. I don’t think I’ve ever had my phone out at a urinal before

      I saw a great design. Instead of all the urinals being in a row, then all the stalls, the designer put urinal/stall/urinal/stall…

      And yes, why are you using your phone when you pee?

          Are you one of those ‘men’s rights’ guys who wants a fainting couch in the rest room?

          Because that’s an idea whose time has come

    I hate bathrooms in general. The idea of putting all your waste inside the building is disgusting to me. But I guess that is what happens when you do not have indoor plumbing until you are almost a teenager.
