Not relly an issue for you in this bathroom based on this pic, butt I absolutely fuckin' hate urinals without a divider. I went to go take leak, not go to an impromtu sausage party for fucks sake. Gimme some god damn privacy!
Who shares my sentiment?
Hell when I was young you didn't even get urinals, it was just a trough.
Those are still in a lot of places here in the UK. Apparently it used to be common in a lot of countries for bars in pubs to be surrounded by a gutter with a drain at one end so guys could just piss and spit without having to leave their stool. I suppose when everybody smoked indoors the smell wouldn't have been as much of a problem.
Thanks, had to fact check something I heard somewhere in San Francisco
Hmm, yea that does make sense. But you can guarantee at least a few guys tried it.
lol
Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)
Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.
Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women's toilets, so she lined up at the men's urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.
I won't use a urinal unless it's an emergency and no other options are available. They're uncomfortable.
I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like "what do you do if you gotta shit??". Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.
I agree. I never use urinals for this reason, I will always go into a stall. Fuck urinals dude
Yeah gotta have some privacy.
Went to see a musical recently, and I spent nearly all of the intermission trying to force my bladder to get a move on, because the dividers were so damn small and scores of men lined my peripheral vision. If I walked into this bathroom, I'd leave and hold it.
Totally agree, this was my thought too! Literally doesn't take any extra space, just put dividers between the urinals...
Yeah super minor improvement that makes a big difference.
Just look ahead and do your thing, then get outta there.
I guess when I gotta go I gotta go. Usually don't spend long enough thinking about it because I will pee my self if I do.
I once went to a large outdoor music festival. They had these round plastic units that had urinals shaped around the outside. So you're facing each other. Whilst I was using one a guy came over and said "Isn't it great that we can piss whilst staring into the eyes of another man!"
100%, I don't need to hang chode with a bunch of other dudes. I'd rather piss in a bottle Amazon style.
I don't care about dividers but I do hate when it's just once long trough that everybody uses. I'm so glad they stopped using them.
Last time I went to a concert at an arena (over 10 years ago at this point), I held my piss far too long to avoid the lines/trough... I finally gave in mid-set, and there was still a line. Finally got to the trough, and I dunno if it was because I held it for so long or because I was surrounded by drunk men with their dongs out, but I suddenly had shy bladder syndrome for the first time in my life... Stood their with my dick in my hand for what felt like 10 mins (probably more like 1), but nothing. I had to wait for a stall to open up and then still had like a 30 sec wait before I could actually start pissing. It was awful.
Fuck piss troughs. We should've left that shit behind like 300 years ago.
I have crippling stage fright even with a generous divider. It would be literally impossible for me to pee in this place.
You can get over it with practice. Stop avoiding what you're afraid of.
Who are you performing for?
