so infuriating.

You can't, normally.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

I've never seen a urinal that manually flushes.

Chicago must be full of them.

And little else.

Not a Tuomas thread?

More infuriating, to me, are the germ-o-phobes that create those extravagant toilet seat covers out of layers of toilet paper and then leave them there. You may not want to sit in my germs, but I don't want to sit in your germs and clean up your mess asshat!

Like the women who don't want to sit on the seat so they perch above and pee, thus getting the seat all wet and soiling it for the next users. Damn it, the menace is the germophobes. Stop trying to make it clean and thus making it dirty!!

Too stupid to figure out that if you leave one part of it trailing into the toilet as you flush the whole thing gets flushed away all by itself!

I guess it becomes hard after ten pints.

Flushing.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 06:54 (eighteen years ago)

What's the big deal anyway? It's a waste of water to flush it every single time. At least I think so. A gallon of water for a very small fraction of urine.

If it's yellow, let it mellow.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 07:18 (eighteen years ago)

Anyone fancy linking to the thread on permutations of "if it's yellow, let it mellow" that we did about two years ago, before we start again?

I can't be arsed to find it.

HI DERE

I should have relaised you would provide the link, g-kit. You got some listed there that were worthy of being EXCELSIORED.

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:36 (eighteen years ago)

hush, you tease

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:43 (eighteen years ago)

I refuse to pee into another man's piss. If there's piss in the urinal, I flush it before I go.

what's with bars in really old buildings putting ICE in urinals? what the fuck's with that nonsense?

the mutiny in chicago is famous for this. they have a giant (i'm guessing about 4 1/2 to 5 foot) urinal that gets filled with ice before anticipated crowded shows. the reason they do this is two fold, one is that the ice actually helps to cut down on the smell and two, as it melts it creates a continuous flow that keeps things moving in the pipes. since there's only a floor drain on the mutiny urinal it works similar to a trough except the trough is under the floor. the melting ice keeps the trough moving.

Why do Australian urinals have that little steppy-step? I didn't know whether I was supposed to stand on it or piss over it.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 23:14 (eighteen years ago)

Man, I am so not into the mellowing of the yellow. Every time I see a wee-filled toilet, I feel somehow like 17th century scientists are trying to grow something in this bowl of uric acid and prove or disprove spontaneous generation. A clean toilet is so glorious and refreshing.

What's so hard about flushing a urinal?

I normally do flush, except:

I tend to flush public toilets with the sole of my shoe, and if there's pee all over the floor it's far too dangerous to attempt standing on one foot for a second to accomplish this. Especially if I'm drunk. Slipping hazard + pee = not fun.

Why are people shitting in urinals?

I don't flush, it seems a waste. I also don't wash my hands or touch handles. If I'm not wearing long sleeves (to pull over me hand) I'll wait until somebody opens the door to leave.

― derekerdman (Derek Erdmany), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:23 (eighteen years ago)

Ever thought of grabbing the handle with a paper towel, then holding the door with your foot while you toss the paper towel into the garbage? You don't get your sleeves dirty and you don't have to sit there like a shmuck waiting for someone to open the door.

― the Adversary (but, still, a friend of yours) (Uri Frendimein), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:34 (eighteen years ago)

Sounds like a waste of a paper towel.

― derekerdman (Derek Erdmany), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:35 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps I'll just stop leaving the house. That would solve A LOT of problems.

― derekerdman (Derek Erdmany), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:36 (eighteen years ago)

use the one that you just dried your hands with.

― the Adversary (but, still, a friend of yours) (Uri Frendimein), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:39 (eighteen years ago)

Who's drying hands?

― derekerdman (Derek Erdmany), Saturday, 4 November 2006 00:41 (eighteen years ago)

hey, derek, sorry we missed your party a couple weeks back.

― john, a resident of chicago. (john s), Saturday, 4 November 2006 01:04 (eighteen years ago)

next time we see eachother, you'll know me when i don't shake your hand, k?

What's so hard about flushing the urinal for me, then?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 4 November 2006 01:21 (eighteen years ago)

What's the big deal anyway?

what's the big deal? try going into a men's room with day- to week-old piss in the urinals. once your eyes are done watering and you've stopped retching we'll talk about it.

also: HAND SANITIZER, you "i can't touch the toilet handle!" wussies.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Sunday, 5 November 2006 06:03 (eighteen years ago)

I just piss on the walls, anyway. Can't flush that.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 5 November 2006 07:01 (eighteen years ago)

what's so hard about washing your fucking hands after peeing. i dont know how many times ive seen guys just walk out of the bathroom after peeing. ugh.

― AaronK (AaronK), Sunday, 5 November 2006 07:15 (eighteen years ago)

What are they supposed to do? Have a game of chess?

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Sunday, 5 November 2006 07:19 (eighteen years ago)

There's nothing hard about washing your hands after peeing, but here's the problem:

1. Walk into bathroom, pee (getting personal wiener germs on your hand)
2. flush toilet with hand (mixing personal and last person's wiener germs on your hand)
3. walk over to sink, turn on water (furthering the mixture of personal and last person's wiener germs on the handle)
4. wash hands (if using soap get more wiener germs from that handle)
5. turn off water handle (reapplying wiener germ mixture)
6. use handle for paper towel or press button for electro-dryer (loads more wiener germs)

So, there you go, now you've got an entire army of wiener germs moving from your hand to your neck and then your mouth. AND THEN YOU DIE.

Listen, I'll be honest. If the bathroom appears clean I'll touch some stuff & probably wash my hands, but at some of the rest stops on I-80 in Indiana, here's what to do:

1. hold breath, enter bathroom with foot
2. pee in urinal farthest from everybody
3. finish up and GET OUT

Oh, in case you're wondering, if you live with a girl they should pay for 2/3 of the toilet paper because they use it for #1 & #2. It IS ok to contact ex-girlfriends and old room mates for back payment.

expose yourself more germs - increase your immunity

I'll jump right into a pool of feces for eternal life.
