Sitzpinkler? Oder richtiger Mann?

The German's lauded protection of renter's rights has now resulted in a court hearing declaring that "urinating standing up is still common practice", after wee caused some damage to a marble floor.

Whilst funny in its own right, the wording of the Judge raises questions. "Still" common practise, implying that there are moves in german culture towards men sitting down to tinkle.

I don't think I've ever heard of a man sitting down for a number 1 before, wussing out and standing in a cubicle in lieu of a urinal (urinal people, the clue is in the name) is as woman-like as I thought in existance.

So GD, what do you do?

Poll:
1) The traditionalist - Stand up, relive oneself, two shakes and done.
2) Sitzpinkler - You secretely hope your friends don't notice your heated seat cover in the pub
3) Alpha - Standing up, stood back, plums out, audible guttural sounds of relief.

Don't forget drinking game favourite forfeit, the little boy's wee.

Pants and trousers round your ankles at the urinal.

4) hover over the cold seat.

You forgot:

5) Rain Man - hose liberally from left to right or vice versa.

PapaLazaru · 23 Jan 2015 at 16:43

I call it having a 'comfort wee'.

6) the trick shot. 6ft away bouncing it off a wall. (Explains the state of public toilets)

Sometimes I pee sitting down, you know, for a treat.

One of my mates is a chef. He has a colleague from somewhere in Africa. Apparently this African chap pees into his hand and lets it 'waterfall' into the toilet.

:barf:

Find it hard to pee sitting down. Usually I'll try and go number 2 as well but if I have a full bladder and push it feels like my insides are going to explode. So stand to pee, then I'll sit for poops.

I use urinals in public places, but sit in houses.

Not only is it because I'm lazy (doesn't require any aiming, or turning on the light if in the middle of the night), but it also means no **** on the seat/floor, and no 'seat left up' issues with any woman.

Viva la sitalution!

I've heard horror stories from colleagues who've worked in Angola under a joint venture between my employer and the Angolan state oil company. Substances that belong in the toilet have ended up in places that would shock, surprise and as aforementioned, horrify. :eek:

Edit; for the sake of the poll; traditionalist.

Bad ruling, sure standing while peeing is standard, you're also responsible for correctly aiming. Don't think it is the landlord's fail this guy couldn't aim and/or didn't mop the floor often enough.

Is it true that there's some link between prostate problems and standing up while urinating or is that an urban myth?

It's easy to make a mess if you have a sudden urge after relieving a sudden urge..

I do wherever/whenever I can for the simple reason I wear shorts virtually all the time and no matter how careful you are there is always a splash back. This also goes for when I'm in a pub at the urinal and you can feel little bits of urine hitting your legs from fellow pee'ers bouncing off the ceramic.
I remember a documentary years ago where they gave volunteers special trousers that reacted with urine and sent them out into different situations and every one of them came back with urine covered trousers.
