    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.

        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.

          Wait until you see the urinal in a rural fest made of just a 10m long pipe cut in half. Cheap and highly effective. Bonus point when they have a tablet at eye level to put your drink.

          There’s a gallery/cafe In Louisville that has a one way mirror wall you pee against with a trough and water running down it.

          Outside the bathroom is the mirror side where my SO was adjusting her hair while waiting for me to pee.

          It was a little weird.

        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.

      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!”

        The worst of these I have ever seen was my high school football field men’s room urinal, yes singular, because it was just an old cast iron tub in the center of a bare concrete room. It wasn’t uncommon to have 8-10 men and boys around it pissing at halftime. It was only replaced maybe 15 years ago.

        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 don’t care about anyone else’s dick and they don’t care about mine

            Neither do I. It’s got nothing to do with dick size.

            In this case I think it was mostly just because I held it in for way too long. It was like my pelvic floor muscles were just refusing to let go. It was just exacerbated by the rotating cast of men pissing next to me.

      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.

      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.
