I keep telling my wife that when we remodel the bathroom, I’m getting a urinal. That goes over like a lead balloon, but I’m trying to wear her down...

Just put in a shower. Shower, urinal, same thing.

This is best when you first wakeup, for obvious reasons.

I just got stuck when I tried it.

"First shrinkage, now this. I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."

60% of Japanese Men Don’t Have to Clean the Toilet.

[Tijeras_Slim]

You are not alone.

Where in God’s name did that pic come from....? LOL

I just got stuck when I tried it.

Well, you're supposed to do it face down, not face up.

[purpleraine]

Technically, the seat is supposed to be left down after one is done (either function...

If you have a source for that, I'd like to distribute the info.

I don’t care what people do, but there is a “no open door” urination policy in my house.

[Sonny M]

If you have a source for that, I'd like to distribute the info.

Since you asked nicely.

FWIW, I actually disagree with the whole "bathroom etiquette" stuff regarding the seat and toilet paper.

You'd be surprised at how much its a hot button topic with advice columnists.

Maybe they’ve all got prostate problems from all that fish and saki?

I lived on a golf course, where we had many Japanese visitors. We noticed that the Japanese men liked to urinate on trees, along the course, even where the course ran right along the road. There were rest rooms at various spots along the course, but the Asian men preferred to STAND and pee on the trees.

I really believe no one knows what % of anybody does anything in the bathroom or bedroom. But it fills up a cold Friday morning.

Looks like it's time for this again. Male Restroom Etiquette

I honestly think its a waste of time and money to even research this.

[seemoAR]

I am not going to sit in most of the public restrooms I have visited. You never know what is lurking on the seats. I don’t believe most women would choose to sit if their plumbing was different.

[Perdogg]

You also have to remember, Japan has a tradition of squat toilets. Western toilets are used for handicap toilets.

Who pees on the seat?

I lift the lid and seat and home and then close both when I’m done.

In public I lift the seat with my foot and leave it up.

Living in a home full of females I’ve given up trying to convince them to put the lid down.

I sit in the middle of the night when I have to go. I’m too tired and too blind without glasses to aim. And I dont want to be further blinded by turning on a bright light either.
