Toilet Question #2 (inspired by Quick Toilet Question thread)

    I was just wondering... who uses the stall in public toilets? Personally, I prefer it. It offers more safety and privacy and you don't have to worry about standing there and not being able to go if you didn't actually have to go but just thought you'd empty the tank before you left or whatever.

    So... urinal or stall?

    Safety? What are you worried about? I'll use whichever is free.

    Ladies toilets generally don't offer the urinal option...

    stall, i hate it when you get splashback.

    Japanese squat toilets ftw. :) Whichever is free really, doesn't bother me.

    cubical,

    there's always one sap who tries to talk to you while at the urinal and it puts me off doing my stuff but after I'm drunk enough I go to the urinal and become that sap and rant incoherently to who ever is unlucky enough to be beside me. I like having the urinal free to myself so I can aim at stuff and see how high up the wall I can go before it starts to lose pressure and fade away.

    You make a very valid point, sir. I have no problem using the urinal when my inhibitions are loosened. But the toilet is fun too cuz you can choose between making noise in the water or going silent on the porcelain. And then it's fun to watch the colour change like milk in tea. Love aiming at moths and flies in the water too.

    Safety is an issue because I just feel vulnerable. It is, after all, the only time when you really expose yourself to the world.

    I view men who use stalls when there is a free urinal as weaker people, clearly self-concious about their ability to piss in public, probably lacking confidence in their ability full stop. They should be mocked from one end of the bar to the other.

    As it happens, I already answered this in the other thread ...
    I understand the ducking into a cubicle all right ... I can find it a bit difficult to get started if I'm not absolutely bursting, even if I'm alone. If it's busy, and there's a queue, I feel under pressure, and it's even more difficult!!
    I have never experienced this self-consciousness about others being around while Junior was getting better acquainted with some hot lady ... e.g. in over-crowded houses after parties, sharing an apartment on holidays, etc. ... so I don't think your argument (ahem!) stands up, Amazo! :p:D

    With you there Ruu,you can really build up the manifold pressure on those and you don't have to worry about spread due to the proximity of the " gun muzzle" to the target area.They are especially good to use after a very hot SE Asian curry,as the squat position enables one to empty the magazine more fully and with less strain.

    stall.. but I'm a girl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I'll usually opt for the cubicle if it's free... Dunno why, I just do.

    Have no problems with using a urinal though, in fact that's all I used last night.

    Oh well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,668 ✭✭✭nlgbbbblth


    Urinal.

    Stalls should only be used if all the urinals are occupied or if you want to have a sh*t.

    If people use stalls / cubicles then they should have the decency not to p*ss on the toilet seat. Lift it up for f*cks sake!

    As this poll relates to public toilets, it should have been a public poll.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Urinal. Public stalls are usually filthy, flooded in piss, and generally mank. Worse still, you have those ones with the terribly planned doors, meaning you are squashed up against the toilet trying to get out. Or some idiot pissed against the door handle...

    Agreed.

    Very true - if you've ever tried taking a leak at a urinal while wearing shorts, you'll always head for the stall in preference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Depends on the toilet. Some urinals are too close together, so to try to get to the free one between two guys, you have to push your way in. And nobody likes the guy who does that. Otherwise I would always use a urinal where available.

    She's actually a dude! But I'll let the stall escapade do the talking.

    The technical term is a 'peemale' apparently. Yes, mocking is in order.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭gyppo


    Urinal every time.
    Usually theres a "little beige jobbie" as Billy Connolly puts it looking up at you if you do go into a stall - it can be very offputting......:)
    If its a number 2, unless its very urgent, I'll wait till i get home .... avoid stalls unless absolutely necessary.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,340 ✭✭✭Nephew


    9 times out of 10 I piss on the Atari


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,240 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Generally I prefer the stall option.

    However, I enjoy pissing on the urinal cakes. Someday I hope to have such a massive piss that i'll manage to bore my way through it in one go.

    Yes, I'ma girl that looks like Hermione from Harry Potter.
    I wish I got more offers, or less, I'm not sure.

    Urinal unless I need a stall! Aim for the base to minimise splashback and reduce unpleasantness for all concerned :)
