Why you should sit when you pee

[me203]

I'm wondering how some people poop if they're so worried about splash back.

Do what I did and just never crap.

That, in case anyone is wondering after reading all my posts here, is why I'm so full of crap.

Women sit to pee all the time, so now they want to join the standing faction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_urinal

....You realize women sit to pee because that's what parents teach, yes? Same thing with standing. It's entirely possible to stand, piss and aim without special products*. Can actually do it two ways, either facing forward or backwards, but backwards is more difficult, simpler to stand than trying to use a backwards position. And despite it likely being simpler learning to stand for a urinal in the first place, you'll still find many women squatting. What we have is a society where many people like to pretend masculine coded tendencies/behaviors are 'natural' and not, say, specifically taught by parents as 'what one does'.

*Well, barring visual impairment and/or other disabilities - visually impaired, I never mastered aim. It's just, at least one of those urinals in your link looks like there'd be a serious issue if I tried to use it.

There seems to be a unisex urinals, though - now there's an idea.

Pretending special facilities are needed instead of creating something that could for everyone in the first place, it's like seeing a comment stating "And now that we've collectively agreed there's an assumption that women need 'special facilities' (except they ain't special, urinals are found in men's rooms everywhere) we're going to think it's cute that they'd like less lines and more usable recepticals'.

Hm. Actually, you can see a similar issue with driving and creating accessible equipment. When safety features were calculated women weren't/aren't taken into account so cars don't come with, as an example, the plastic modifier that makes that life-saving seat belt not cross short people's throats n'faces when used properly. The problem, if ya will, is that no-one but specific kinds of cis men tend to be counted when people define humanity/everyone in practical terms.

Healthy intelligent people poop once in morning before they shower.

If a person poops as many times as he pees during the day, then yes, splash back is likely to be the least of his worries.

Yes, intelligence dictates when one poops

I just peed sitting down and l flushed before getting up and my balls were almost sucked down the toilet!

Do...your...balls hang low, do they wobble to and fro, do you tie them in a knot or do you tie them in a bow...

Altogether now, sing.....

Dictates? You appear to be struggling. Are you pooping right now? Or maybe you're constipated?

It might surprise you how many people will confess to pooping after their morning shower. The warm water might put them in the mood. Pretty unintelligent, regardless.

And I've known more than a couple of people who purposely wait until they get to work so they can poop [figuratively] on the clock. You strike me as someone who would do that.

You really have a shitty attitude this week. Did someone piss in your coffee? Because you really strike me as a person someone would do that to.

The whole sit and pee is just another shot at a man's right to be a man. How in the hell can I write in the snow while squatting?

Being closer to the snow will allow for more precise, better detailed writing and drawing.

I don't know. I think I experienced a bit of shrinkage just from reading 'closer to the snow'.

10-15 minutes to clean a bathroom? I clean it every week and it always takes me 30-45 minutes move stuff, clean the soap dishes, clean off product bottles, Clean the fixtures, mirror, inside & outside toilet & around the base, toilet bowl, window, every 2 weeks the medicine chest, the bath tub, vacuum the floor them mop & rinse then put everything back and wash the shower curtain then the bath mat. its a process!

For the more sensitive among us you'll find that merely mentioning that you sit brings up oodles of defensiveness. I believe it's about an assumed questionin' of masculinity. Brings some prompt responses implyin' you have no life, don't it.

I kind of figured and if someone's sense of masculinity is really threatened by simply sitting on a toilet bowl while peeing, well that's incredibly sad.

Maybe it's better with a urinal... Although some urinals seem to be problematic when it comes to mess. There is perhaps some truth in the old joke about a sign over the urinal saying: "In case of nuclear attack, hide in the urinal. It hasn't been hit yet!"

I do sometimes think it would be nice if houses had urinals, though. In some parts of the world, urinals could be argued to be a good idea on the basis of saving water.

Once urine gets into porous tile ground it will smell forever.Something like this that is semi closed. and you can straddle over would be a bit neater. Thank you

I used to work as a maid and I have more than enough siblings that I know how to clean thoroughly and quickly. I don't dawdle and multiple things are accomplished at once. My cabinet is not in the bathroom, god no, because I don't need surprise houseguests going through my medication and carting it away as several of my medications are controlled substances (seemed easier to move the medicine cabinet, and it's too big too fit in the bathroom anyway). And we don't vaccuume the bathroom, what, do you have carpet in there? We sweep n'mop.

I suspect your bathroom is considerably more cluttered than mine is.

TLDR; Fifteen minutes. I stand by my statement. Also edited to add info.

The more clutter the longer cleaning takes and the harder you have to work to do it. I also don't leave me cleaning products out in the open because then I lose them, they don't have a chance to get dusty. Everything has a place. Except the inside of one cubby in the tall stand, which is Kris's domain, I only clean that cubby couple of months. I suppose I could push it to twenty minutes for an uncluttered space but that's as far as I'm willing to go.

Once you start adding a bunch of things to the bathroom it goes downhill quickly. I'm constantly in a battle with K's collection hair products, as a for-instance. I just cram them all in a basket on the sill because when you put shampoo, soaps/dyes on ceramic you'll be scrubbing more than you should have to later. My one concession is the soap on the sink, which is a pump bottle. I actually can't stand ceramic soap dishes.

(I do understand other people like clutter - I'm a fan of wall art, myself, it's something I can't really knock over - but I know very well what other people's bathrooms contain and they're often full of clutter. Clutter is not my friend, that's how things get knocked over, broken and/or lost in my house. I'd probably have more clutter if I lived alone because then I'd know where everything was left. As it stands K's about as considerate as any regularly sighted person in regards to putting his things away, which is to say, he tries and often forgets so I do regular sweeps to put things back. Yesterday he left his glasses, some sort of makeup stick and a bunch of random objects along the back of the toilet. If I didn't do sweeps those glasses would've died an untimely death.)
