The pee splashes right back onto my clothes in little tiny droplets.
Why do people like them?
You obviously have to stand too close. I’m sorry.
You really can’t figure out why urinals exist by yourself, and that it’s not because of any personal affinity for them?
This made me laugh. Good stuff.
Perhaps you would like them better if you had one of these.
I can’t stand the things… maybe I’m just not trusting of my coworkers, but I feel especially vulnerable standing there, wang in hand, back to whoever comes in.
I wonder how much money companies would save if they stopped having urinals installed in the men’s rooms, instead going with only stalls?
What makes you think that would be cheaper?
Urinals are tricky. The urinal at work is fine. The urinal at the gym splashes back ridiculously. I stand as far away as possible and try to aim directly at one of the holes.
If you go into a mens restroom and there are no urinals, well you’re in the ladies room buddy!
Well, if you replaced each urinal with a stall it wouldn’t be cheaper, but if you just took the urinals out or replaced every two with one stall… I dunno… tlaking out my backside 
Hmmm. People who don’t mind sloppy urinals probably also don’t mind sloppy stalls. Then by taking urinals out they’d all go into stalls…
Low flow water closet: 1.6 gallons per flush.
Urinal: 0.5 gallons per flush.
Urinals save water. Not only that, but since they use less water the piping to the rest rooms can be made smaller (copper, fittings, and valves start getting expensive above 1"). Partitions are smaller. Toilet paper dispensers are not required. These things add up when you are building a rest room. Retrofits are expensive too. You have to tear into floors and pipe chaces to change the drain lines.
Finally, won’t someone think about the workers in the urinal mint factories? They need their jobs too.
And this is why there are disgusting mouldering puddles of urine on the floor! Feh!
By the time afternoon rolls around, at the office, I just head for the stall so I don’t have to walk on tiptoes to avoid getting people’s piss on the bottom of my trousers. Not that I wear them that long, but when the boot heels start to wear out…
Where do you people work? Your lavatories sound disgusting!
I’ve never had this peoblem.
Some urinals don’t have it. The urinals in my grammar school and our old theater reached all the way down to the floor. No splashing problem there.
The “no Flow” environmentally-friendly urinals that use zero water don’t splash back.
Heck, if you hate urinals so much, go into a stall and use the regular toilet. Just PLEASE lift the damned seat – guys who pee without raising the seat are as bad as women who “hover”.
I never have a splashing problem with a urinal. I don’t know, maybe I have better aim than you guys.
I actually prefer a urinal to a regular stall, I find it quicker and less hassle to use. With a stall I have to figure out if it’s occupied, open the door, close the door, lift the lid with my foot, perform my activity, flush with my foot, lower the seat with my foot, open the door, and finally close the door again. I can just walk up to a urinal and do business without the fuss. Hell, when I finally do the remodel on the master bath, guess what I’m installing… 
Why do you lower the seat? The seems like an unnecessary step for a stall.
Unless of course you thought I also crapped in urinals.
Is it too soon to chime in with a lament about…troughs?
After fifteen years of marriage, I am thoroughly programmed to lower the seat. I’m so brainwashed, I will raise and lower the seat even if my wife is away for the weekend and I have the house to myself.
Really? What if the trough has ice? IMHO, melting the ice is the second… no… third most fun thing you can do with it.
Wow… its like the perfect opposite to Duchamp’s fountian.
Neat, though.
