German men told they can no longer stand and deliver.

German men are being shamed into urinating while sitting down by a gadget which is saving millions of women from cleaning up in the bathroom after them.

[gunnygail]

HAHA! The news is OUT! Eurotard males in Germany are peeing SITTING DOWN! Bush was right, they DO squat when the pee! LOL!

[MP5]

Don't be a Sitzpinkler!

[ISonnet]

The squatters rights movement has invaded Germany...

[MTBNate]

...and the pussification of Europe is complete!

[billorites]

Sometimes I sit and think...

[gunnygail]

LOL! I always knew that Karter, for example, squatted to pee and this is the perfect word for him...and many others.

[gunnygail]

And if Hanoi John has HIS way, we'll ALL be joining HIM to squat as well!

From the article: "Their prototype English-speaking WC ghost says in an American drawl: "Don't you go wetting this floor cowboy, you never know who's behind you. So sit down, get your water pistol in the bowl where it belongs. Ha, ha, ha."

No problem at our house. We have a cat that loves to drink from the bowl, a habit which is revolting to both of us, thus the lid stays down.

[ArrogantBustard]

Where I come from, accusing some fellow of squatting to pee is "fighting words".

[pepsionice]

I am married to a German, and this is a constant weekly problem. She will continually bring this up....for almost 15 years now. She even shamed the son into doing this. The amusing thing is that German men are starting to look more for Asian women...and you have to wonder why.

[gunnygail]

No lie there. That, and being called a "candy-a$$".

[gunnygail]

I have an easy fix for you.

1. Tie wife up.

2. Gently place her in bath tub.

3. Unzip.

4. Water her well.

5. She'll never complain about you missing the bowl anymore!

It takes just as much energy to LOWER the seat as it does to RAISE it.

However, if you aren't cleaning up your own mess, that's got nothing to do with sitting or standing, that's just called BEING A FREAKIN' SLOB.

"Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don't want any trouble, you'd best sit down," one of the devices orders in a voice impersonating the German leader, Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. Another has a voice similar to that of his predecessor, Helmut Kohl.

Why not Hitler? Sounds like Fascism to me.

[hushpad]

Sometimes I sit and think...

AND SOMETIMES I JUST SIT. . .

[RexFamilia]

If they can't stand up like men, they will squat down like women!

[Codeflier]

The WC ghost, a £6 voice-alarm, reprimands men for standing at the lavatory pan. It is triggered when the seat is lifted .

A simple solution for German Men - just stopping lifting the seat up. Then they will not trigger the voice-alarm. I would be sure to be extra messy if I visited a house with one of these.

[Search4Truth]

I learned a new word today. "Sitzpinkler = German Wimp"

[monday]

"So far 1.8 million WC ghosts have been sold in German supermarkets."

hmmm..... I suspect most of those purchased are already residing in a German landfill somewhere, and the rest are on the way. The German hausfrau buys the contraption, her husband smashes it immediately, upon returning from the local Biergarten. The life expectancy of a house fly. Good idea though. Many hausfraus will be tempted to buy them over and over again. Lots of repeat business.

[djf]

Hey, it's almost complete here.

Way back when, when I was a young lad, all they would do is b*tch that we didn't put the seat UP before we wee'd.

Now they complain that we don't PUT IT BACK DOWN after we're done.

So, if she complains, just do what men do best: pee in the sink!
