My father taught me to pee in the bathtub because it is easier to hit and it gets cleaned real good every time someone uses it. ---

You can get toilets with a #1 and #2 flush lever. If you do #1 twice, then you can pull #2 or two ones.šŸ˜ƒ ---

The sink is just so much _quieter_ when youā€™re on the phone. ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > Splashback. When you piss in an empty sink, thereā€™s nothing to stop little drops from flying everywhere. You can avoid this by shoving your shaft down the hole - provided that a) your sink has a removable cover and b) you have an average size donger. Extra care is advised if you have a waste disposal machine. ---

Wash your hands with bleach when youā€™re done and that takes care of the piss pile-up problem. If you really want to conserve water, just have a piss outside and wipe your hands on your shirt. ---

Dunno about you but after showering, my penis stays quite clean inside my trousers. My hands are touching all manner of dirty things, so I wash my hands _before_ using the toilet. Beyond that, Iā€™ve managed to go to the toilet for many years without pissing on my fingers, thereby negating the need to wipe them on my shirt. You really need to practice stuff more, dude. :dubious: ---

Itā€™s not inexperience, itā€™s just Iā€™m shaking from my irrational fear of bears. Good thing the wee keeps them away. ---
