Urinating Standing Up

randomshenans · 15 Apr 2014 at 07:42

Right, my Mrs was talking to her friend who's American but married to a French guy. Said how he'd broken his iPad again... while going for a pee... My wife was like, How can you even hold an iPad while peeing as a man?

Now, this will blow your mind....

Apparently he goes sitting down. Always. His mother never TAUGHT him to go standing up. I **** YOU NOT! He never goes in urinals, always a cubical, and if there isn't a cubical, just won't go!? :confused:

So now their two boys (6 and 9) also always sit down too!? What????

I couldn't get my head around it.

That goes against everything I stand for.

I've heard of this before. It's a cultural thing. I can't remember where but in some countries it's the norm.

I would be more concerned about using the ipad after he has used it.

Seen plenty of blokes use cubicles rather than standing. Personal preference surely.

We need a poll....

Look no hands.
I'm normal.
Sitting down wuss.
Oh look I've peed on my pants.

Using a cubical is one thing. Having to take a **** only sitting down, old man tucked between your legs like a mangina, is another.

Stand and deliver. That's how it should be, we're men!

Wouldn't these two be the same ?

No, no. I have a solid flow.

Quite common in Western Europe, maybe further afield. Hardly mind blowing. Less splashback means less cleaning too.

Not if you can't point it properly or have the shakes.

It's not mindblowing that a fully grown man is incapable of having a pee standing up? Not out of choice... INCAPABLE. I just don't get it.

Nothing wrong with the occasional 'comfort wee', though doing it sitting all the time is a bit odd.

That's the French for you!

Why the hell would you take an iPad in to have a slash in the first place?

I do enjoy a pee sitting down every now and then, just to take the weight off. Mind you, I'm a chronic nervous wizzer - can't use urinals and can't even use cubicles at work if I know another cubicle nearby is occupied. It's crippling.

I always sit down when I am going to the gents, it is about the only time I get some peace and quiet!

When I first started the world of corporate work I was at a urinal starting to flow when the COO came and stood right next to me and started chatting. I literally stopped mid flow. Didn't think it was possible.

Gave me a couple of months of urinal fear that did. Then I realised unless they put their finger up your bum, it's all good.

An How to Pee app?
