Not relly an issue for you in this bathroom based on this pic, butt I absolutely fuckin' hate urinals without a divider. I went to go take leak, not go to an impromtu sausage party for fucks sake. Gimme some god damn privacy!

Who shares my sentiment?

Hell when I was young you didn't even get urinals, it was just a trough.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 50 points 8 months ago

Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

[-] Wiggles69@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women's toilets, so she lined up at the men's urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.

[-] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 8 months ago

Wait until you see the urinal in a rural fest made of just a 10m long pipe cut in half. Cheap and highly effective. Bonus point when they have a tablet at eye level to put your drink.

There’s a gallery/cafe In Louisville that has a one way mirror wall you pee against with a trough and water running down it.

Outside the bathroom is the mirror side where my SO was adjusting her hair while waiting for me to pee.

It was a little weird.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

If I was looking for a more awkward bathroom experience than using a trough, this would be on the list.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Our bathrooms were like this at my shitty old American Catholic school.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

Hell, in a lot of places they still have troughs.

Wrigley Park where the Chicago Cubs play still has troughs.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

They still have those in the Chinese school I was teaching in. Spotless, modern, but a trough. A really humbling experience, even after years of nightclub toilets in Ireland.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

Oh damn that's rough.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I have crippling stage fright even with a generous divider. It would be literally impossible for me to pee in this place.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 6 points 8 months ago

Just get a couple of fog machines to throw up a barrier (and perhaps a few laser projectors for fun).

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah when it gets super crowded I get stage fright as well.

[-] Krompus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Who are you performing for?

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

I don't care about dividers but I do hate when it's just once long trough that everybody uses. I'm so glad they stopped using them.

[-] prole 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Last time I went to a concert at an arena (over 10 years ago at this point), I held my piss far too long to avoid the lines/trough... I finally gave in mid-set, and there was still a line. Finally got to the trough, and I dunno if it was because I held it for so long or because I was surrounded by drunk men with their dongs out, but I suddenly had shy bladder syndrome for the first time in my life... Stood their with my dick in my hand for what felt like 10 mins (probably more like 1), but nothing. I had to wait for a stall to open up and then still had like a 30 sec wait before I could actually start pissing. It was awful.

Fuck piss troughs. We should've left that shit behind like 300 years ago.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Troughs enable pooh stick races with cigarette butts.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

Trough definately sounds worse.

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 13 points 8 months ago

This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.

As a tall man the dividers are too low, I don't care if someone sees my dick, but I don't want to make eye contact.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Then stop facing sideways, ya weirdo.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

They should just put the dividers up between our heads, like horse blinders.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah there really is an etiquette, no eye contact being part of it.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 11 points 8 months ago

I won't use a urinal unless it's an emergency and no other options are available. They're uncomfortable.

I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like "what do you do if you gotta shit??". Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

I'm betting someone shit in a urinal there at some point lol.

[-] Marighost@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

Went to see a musical recently, and I spent nearly all of the intermission trying to force my bladder to get a move on, because the dividers were so damn small and scores of men lined my peripheral vision. If I walked into this bathroom, I'd leave and hold it.

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Life's too short to suffer a full bladder.

[-] prole 4 points 8 months ago

Sometimes our brains don't cooperate. Especially if we've already been holding it for a long time (at least in my experience)

[-] RippleEffect@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Let them see it. Hell, let them hold it. I don't care anymore. I'm not keeping a full bladder.

And aim for the deepest water, too. Let them hear it.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah when it' super crowdedeis the worst!

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 8 months ago

Totally agree, this was my thought too! Literally doesn't take any extra space, just put dividers between the urinals...

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah super minor improvement that makes a big difference.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

When you're the only two guys at such an event you stand next to each other and go "nice dick bro". That's just common courtesy.

[-] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

I agree. I never use urinals for this reason, I will always go into a stall. Fuck urinals dude

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah gotta have some privacy.

[-] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago

I don't mind, when I go to such a place I've got my own business to do and let others do theirs. It's a simple natural thing I don't think about much.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago
[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Same. If someone wants to see my dick, whatever; have fun.

I just don't look at other guys dicks cause I don't want to see theirs. Bathrooms aren't sexy, people taking a piss aren't sexy.

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 5 points 8 months ago

Just look ahead and do your thing, then get outta there.

[-] octobob@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Our stadiums still have the piss troughs.

About 3/4 of the game when everyone's feeling twisted all the dicks are coming out together

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago

Sounds awkward.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

I guess when I gotta go I gotta go. Usually don't spend long enough thinking about it because I will pee my self if I do.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

That's understandable.
