    I don’t mind urinals. It just sucks when you have to double or triple up on them. Sharing with someone else just isn’t fun

      You may be joking, but the ones that are just a trough with no barriers at all between them I always hated. I don’t want my shoulders touching 1 or 2 other guys while holding my dick in my hand trying to convince myself I am not to nervous to pee.

      They were common in country themed bars for a while, I would have to be drunk and NEEDing to pee to be able to go. So usually I just stopped going to those places.

        A club popular with 18-year olds in my city had the most effective piss-room I’ve ever seen. Troughs on three full walls and they were always busy. You’d wait for 1 second and then get a spot where you could squeeze in, shoulder to shoulder with other guys. You’d feel the steam rising up and washing past your face. 10 seconds later, you stepped out and another guy would instantly take your place.

        It was incredible. I’ve never seen such efficiency anywhere else.

      I’m a stealth trans man and use a stall. No one gives a shit. I’ve had “I have a medical condition and need a stall” prepped for years, but never has anyone even gave me a passing glance. It’s annoying to wait when I’m about to piss myself and someone is camping in the lone stall, but the only real rule of the men’s bathroom is “don’t acknowledge anyone’s presence.”

        How would they even know if someone is pissing or shitting? And your last rule would prevent them from talking about it if they did determine that you sit to pee.

          Exactly. The social situation of the men’s bathroom is such that anyone trying to confront someone about using a stall would automatically make them the weird one. I used to be self conscious that someone would notice difference in splashing sound, but realized that was stupid.

          It’s funny, I remember in middle and high school going to the bathroom with groups of friends. It would be totally normal to be chatting, pass a pad or tampon under the stall. Unimaginable in a men’s restroom.

      No, maybe, I don’t know, if there is it’s unspoken and unenforced because I’ve been doing it for years and no one ever complained to me.

      Some people think they’re saving a bunch of time by using a urinal over a toilet but honestly it’s 5-6 seconds at most if you use it the same as you would a urinal, no sitting down, no pulling your pants all the way down, etc.

      There’s a concept of a “shy guy” that isn’t “confident enough” to pee comfortably at a urinal so it’s not so much that you can’t pee in a stall, it’s that for those that are already concerned about the issue in the comic they’d be concerned about being thought of as a “shy guy” too.

      I feel this comic so much that of all the things I’ve seen on the internet this really got a good laugh out of me. I know no one really cares about you peeing, but there’s a part of me that thinks kind of like what is displayed here.

        For me it was if there wasn’t barricades I knew kids that used to try to slap their friends in the nuts while while they were peeing. Needless to say it only ends in more messes and needing to find new friend groups.

    This hits me deep. I will often walk into a bathroom and walk right out if I see too many people. I’ll either find a quieter bathroom or just hold it because it’s physically impossible for me to pee if I can sense anybody within close proximity. Sadly, that applies to stalls too.

      Something I’ve been doing as a kid is just counting slowly. I don’t know if it’s distracting to be thinking of counting or what but usually by the time I get to like 8-10 I’ll start going. That and no one wants to stand next to someone just randomly counting. Lol I don’t really do it out loud, I do count in my head and it seems to work.

      Kind of a double edge though because if I get to 20 I start thinking like the comic lol

        Lol when holding it is not an option, I’ll try singing the ABCs in my head and similarly when I get to Z and have to repeat it is when I start to panic.

    Urinals should definitely exist because they speed things up a ton. If you’re too shy to piss into a urinal just go to the shitter instead. But don’t dare try to take the speed and convenience away from the rest of us, goddammit!

      Is this comment ironic?

      I’ll be honest — I think they should exist. The piss shy phase is short and universal… but we all get over it.

          Okay. It had a lot of upvotes so I thought it was ironic as there is a movement in my city to stealth eradicate urinals. Every remodel now replaces urinals with stalls… some leave one stall so there isn’t backlash.

            I’ve seen it happen too. Some consider stalls nicer and more accommodating (not just to shy pee’ers) and that’s fine. I just dislike how it makes the wait a lot longer.

            But could be worse, they could’ve made them gender neutral. Now that makes the wait long hah.

      There are also flushness urinals which use zero fresh water, just a floating, replenishable barrier fluid. I want one at home.

        Most I see these days are the flushless ones of one sort or other. Some of them have a bit of a smell but doesn’t bother me since what do you expect, it’s an urinal

      Do you think that you need to pull your pants all the way down and sit to use a toilet to pee, if not what are you doing in the stall that wastes a ton more time? It’s not much slower from my experience just do it the way you would a urinal, with the only difference being that you have a door and real walls.

        The speed comes from space efficiency. Instead of one stall you can have three urinals (idk the conversion rate, but you get the point)

          When buffalo wild wings put small TVs infront of every urinal I think pee times must have increased, haha. I agree urinals speed things along through.

    When I lived in Japan, I really appreciated how the women’s public bathroom stalls often had this little button you could push to make a white noise sound.

    So glad I got over that peeing in public anxiety eventually, though.

    My trick for dealing with “blushing bladder” is a Palovian response on myself. I realized I had certain pee triggers. Long story short, there are certain places and situations that cause me to need to urinate. So I figured why not use a word as a trigger? While at home I began saying the trigger word just as I felt the flow begin. Every time I pee, I say the word. My blushing bladder went away. Some of the music venues i frequent have urinals literally elbow to elbow so it’s awkward but there’s no trouble when I say the trigger word. The only problem now is people look at me weird when I’m looking at my dick saying “shazam”.

    You do know it’s not a requirement to use the urinal, they also have private pee booths as well.

        That’s why I act like I’m pooping. I’ll sit down and make grunt noises while aiming my piss at the side of the bowl so no one hears I’m actually peeing. Because that’s less embarrassing than knowing you all think I’m too afraid to piss in front of you. I even pull toilet paper out and wipe it on my thigh so all you actual Weiner holders believe I’m wiping my ass. Who’s the fool now? Not only was I too afraid to pee in front of you, I convinced you I was taking a manly shit while you probably nodded in approval at the other Weiner holders next to you. Check mate.

    I don’t understand why they don’t just install partitions. One that goes from the very bottom to the very top. A thin plank would do it. Not these 50cm pseudo partitions. That’s why I prefer to use a cabin when a lot of people are peeing.
