Do you pee standing up ?

[Nufy]

If you prefer it that way don't go to Sweden...

Good luck making a guy sit down to pee, there is no way to enforce it. You can get rid of urinals but all that is going to do is make the guy pee all over the seat.

The pros and cons of a man sitting down to pee

My german mother-in-law, placed notices around all the toilets:

MANN SITZT!

Best post from the last time around:

I'm such a man I sh@t standing up.

[HPLovecraft]

The compromise would be to just stop peeing.

Not surprising coming from one of the most feminist, liberal/left countries in the world.

Hopefully the Flames don't draft too many Swedes in the coming years, ...they are becoming soft..

I guess if it helps me empty my bladder better, there might be an advantage. I don't know about anyone else, but I seem to empty fine right now. I guess the old prostate might have something to say about that in coming years though.

I fail to see how my naked butt sitting on the same surface as the naked butts of everyone else in the building improves hygiene. I guess unless you are concerned about the janitor cleaning up the occasional split stream or urinal dancer mis-squirt.

Genderless bathrooms actually do make sense which seems to be the reasoning behind the bill.

At home always, with my Ipad as well.

George Carlin - Urinals are 50 percent universal:

A urinal's like an elevator; there's nothin' to do, really, while you're there. You can check the fronts of your shoes again if you want. It's probably a different story by now. Depending if you're at a knee length one or a floor console model. Just **** all over everything and don't care. Y'know- "Hey, it's OK. I got a long one here." But, uh, there's nothin' to do at the urinal. You stare up straight ahead of you; what do you see? Standard-Crane American Standard. Patent pending 2861855... You look up high..."LOOK UP THERE; YOU'RE PISSIN' ON YOUR SHOES AGAIN!" Aw, jeez...

You gotta kill the time. The first thing you do is you inscribe your initials on the urinal. Then they run a little bit, then you wet down the entire urinal. "Wet down! Wet down! Wet down entire urinal! Cover all of the dry spots! Gotta get 'em all! Every one! Gotta look, see if the light is shining." Then..Then and only then are you allowed to go after the cigarettes at the bottom of the urinal! Targets of opportunity! Yeah. You had to break up them cigarettes. Field strip 'em, my friend. Camels and Luckys were easy...but a Kent with a micronite filter. Takes three guys and a keg of beer. "C'mon guys! Hey...c'mon. Let's go, man"

Since it's Sweden I cannot really believe that it's innocently a logistics issue. In addition to their new genderless noun introduced by the government they have also moved towards eliminating gender specific boys and girls clothing sections and toys from large format stores there as well. When you see an article like this and the country of origin it's really hard to believe there isn't social undertones behind it.

Do the ladies pee standing up in Sweden? Paints a funny/slightly arousing picture in my head.

Wouldn't have been easier to go with the Swedish version of the good ole trusty word 'person'.

What am I missing in that equation?

Sounds like another reason to dread the trip to Ikea.

It's a word to replace the swedish equivalent of 'his' or 'her.'

I still have nightmares of cleaning the women's washroom at the gas station I worked at as a teenager. Being through hundreds of men's washrooms in my young life still did not prepare me for what I was to encounter. I vote no to genderless bathrooms.

I've heard horror stories of menstrual blood streaks on stall walls

Yep not only the stains but the lack of proper disposal. A teenage boy simply isn't prepared for such graphic horror. Oh and I had prior visions in my head that women didn't take big dumps. That was also a horrific realization I encountered.

Of course I stand, how else can I use my urine colour laser beam to destroy the bubble navy?
