I’ve seen it happen in stadiums/arenas at intermission in rock concerts, and at halftime at football games. One time, I saw when it started happening: urinals and the sinks were opposite each other across an open space in the men’s room. When the lines for the urinals backed up to the sinks, the guys at the end of the line started turning around and peeing in the sinks, and all of a sudden there were twice as many lines, of half the length.
I have a hard time believing that this happens with much frequency even then, given the logistical difficulties involved for a woman to pee into a sink.
It doesn’t happen in women’s restrooms even when the line is long. If there are children or disabled, or someone who reaaally can’t hold it, we let them go ahead. Can you imagine the stinkeye we’d get from all of the other women if we just let loose in the sink?
:eek: Seriously? What earthly reason do you have for peeing in the sink? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see a problem with it going down the drain, but my toothbrush is right there, and my hairbrush, and probably a bunch of other crap. And no matter what, you are not cleaning it all up.
I don’t care about dive bars. As far as I’m concerned, you pee where you can. Try not to piss on anyone’s shoes, though.
Meh. I piss in a cup, then dump it in the sink about 65% of the time. 65-75%. I got used to it years ago, when I lived in a roach motel with one bathroom per floor of 10-12 rooms, but the rooms had sinks. Once in a while, I had to shit in a bag and then throw it down the trash chute.
This post made me think of concerts at Giant’s Stadium (which has since been rebuilt)
And this is why I thought of it. There seemed to be about three men’s rooms for every women’s room there and the lines would be daunting. I did see a few - not a lot, just a few - women opting for sinks. Better than soaking your own pants, I suppose. In fact, I remember commenting about it to a date and him saying something like “Oh, guys do that all the time.”
GEORGE: I was there! I saw a drain!
ELAINE: Since when is a drain a toilet?!
GEORGE: It’s all pipes! What’s the difference?!
ELAINE: Different pipes go to different places! You’re gonna mix 'em up!
GEORGE: I’ll call a plumber right now! (Goes for the phone.)
JERRY: Alright, can we just drop all the pee-pipe stuff here?
This place never ceases to amaze me. I never in a million years would have thought that people with access to a functioning toilet would choose, instead, to pee in their sink. Or I’m completely dense and being whooshed…
