Hell when I was young you didn't even get urinals, it was just a trough.
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.
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.
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.
If I was looking for a more awkward bathroom experience than using a trough, this would be on the list.
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.
Our bathrooms were like this at my shitty old American Catholic school.
.
Hell, in a lot of places they still have troughs.
Wrigley Park where the Chicago Cubs play still has troughs.
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.
Oh damn that's rough.
