Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up

MYTH #1: "Men can pee standing up"

Fact: The reality is men can NOT pee standing up without getting as much as a stray drop on the seat or the outside surface of the toilet. Fragmentation of the urine stream causes particles of urine to dissipate. The larger the distance urine has to travel, the bigger the dissipation radius gets.
     Some of you may say, "No, not me! I can pee through a donut from 40 feet above!" Well, mister hand-eye coordination, you are probably one of those people who also never ask for directions. Admitting that you have a problem is half the battle. At some point in your life you need to ask yourself, "Is it worth it? What has peeing standing up cost me in my life?"

MYTH #2: "It's a victimless crime."

Fact: Peeing standing up destroys families. Who cleans the bathrooms in your house? Your mother? Your wife? Even if you clean up after yourself, what happens when you are a guest at someone's home, over at your friend's house, visiting the inlaws, or using a public bathroom? Why should someone else have to suffer for your unwillingness to sit down?

And I used to think the battle was whether or not men should lower the seat after use...

The author is absolutely correct.

If you don't believe me, buy a UV light, go into the bathroom and turn off the light. In the darkness, the urine spots will reflect the UV yellow.

Public johns are especially fun to inspect using this method. How do guys get it 6 feet up the wall?

Even more fun is to line up a group of men, turn out the lights and shine the UV on their shoes and pant legs.

Yuck!

From someone who still pees standing up, but doesn't lie to himself about how messy it is.

Well, I have to confess. I'm one of those guys in the public restroom who aims at least six feet up the wall. Seven or eight if I really have to go.

I didn't think anyone would ever notice.

[xsmommy]

i really did have the impression that men grew out of this behavior. you are disillusioning me....

[Dog Gone]

We can grow out of the behavior but still joke about it on Friday nights. It might be a guy thing.

[xsmommy]

i thought the thread was hilarious, but i am kind of appalled that it might be a REAL movement! and what's with the penis enlargement ads on there? are they saying that improves aim??

[Dog Gone]

You saw that, too??? I wasn't going to dare to mention that, but LOL.

[Restorer]

are they saying that improves aim??

Being a couple of feet closer to the aiming point would tend to minimize the spread of the dispersion stream.

[xsmommy]

um, couple of feet.... guess so!; )

I think the answer is BIGGER toilets.

[Nita Nupress]

Oh, NOW you've done it. You've resurrected our age-old argument about the toilet lid.

If you guys would just sit down to pee it would take care of all the problems.

[Nita Nupress]

I think the answer is BIGGER toilets.

Or maybe the answer is smaller penises. :-)

[Nita Nupress]

I left you a message, you perv! LOL!

I dunno. I'm so well-trained by the missus that I might lift the seat after leaving.

This is so confusing...

[Nita Nupress]

Be careful what you write. Some bathroom at MIT is carrying it live. You can see it on the wall on the left.

Paging the dignitaries....

[Nita Nupress]

Uh, oh. You pinged Pardek. He'll type in my phone number or something.

[cyborg]

I tried peeing while standing up. Failed miserably.

[Nita Nupress]

The Foo Floor bathroom has been vacant for 2 minutes and 52 seconds.

Someone just saw that you called me a wench, you geezer. LOL!

I know I'm showing my ignorance, but I don't understand how me typing in a message on my computer in Texas can reach the bathroom wall at MIT. That is very strange.
