Landlord took former tenant to court for refusing to pay for damage to the marble floor of the bathroom he said was caused by stray drops from the tenants habit of relieving. . . .
It might seem standard practice for most men to take aim from a standing position, but some sections of German society have a bizarre obsession with obliging men to answer natures call while seated. It is not uncommon to find home-made signs in German bathrooms commanding men to adopt a seated position.

It can etch it, and cause a yellow tinge to remain - the main thing is the gloss difference. Acids and sanding will fix it if nothing else, but proactive maintenance with a good terrazzo sealer (which will seal the grout too) makes marble pretty impermeable.
We aim to please.
You aim too, please.
I've been to Germany. I should have remembered that..........Don't go into the one that says "Da MEN'..................
On a visit to Germany I was appalled by German toilets. I couldn't believe a people with such mechanical and design talent could possible come up with monstrosities like I found in many places. On the positive side I found that stand-up urinals in many restaurants and public places were equipped with "targets," usually a bee or wasp. That added a little fun to the procedure.
We aim to please, so you aim too please.
As I saw in a military restroom in the USAF.
“Pilots with short engine mounts taxi up close to the hanger!”
Acids will etch marble by dissolving the calcium. Piss contains acids. The solution is to dilute the droplets with water by routine washing the piss off the floor. The landlord should have a requirement in the lease to clean the bathroom floors of piss.
Are not most gravestones made of marble? Why does not acid rain not destroy them?
I only do so at night, when my wife's asleep, as a courtesy.
I’ve seen pics of those, quite amusing.
Local Home Depot in my area offers the “euro toilets”.
At first they were at the front of the displays, proudly shown to all.
Eventually they were moved further and further back from the front of the offerings.
I wonder why.
*snerk*
I went into a restroom in a bar in Paris once and was standing at the urinal when a woman came in to wash her hands at the sink, which was right next to the urinal. Common stuff over there.
For the most part correct, but "Raum" can also mean "room" - e.g., "Konferenzraum" = "conference room."
Other synonyms for "WC" include:
Herrentoilette = Men's Room (and Damentoilette = Ladies' Room)
(Yes, the word "Toilette" refers to the room, and not to the porcelain furniture therein.)
Abort = latrine
Lokus (from the Latin: "place") = latrine (military usage)
Scheißhaus = Do I really have to explain that one?
Popular euphemisms for "I have to go to the bathroom" include:
Ich muß mal = "I gotta [go]"
Ich muß mal für 'kleine Jungs' = "I've got to go to the Little Boys' Room" (humorous)
Regards,
Marble is essentially a very dense form of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), plus impurities - the same as egg shells.
Regards,
In my college dorm we shared the bathroom, i would shower, pee and poop less than 4 feet from the ladies.
I miss those days.....
If your hose is too short or your pump is too weak, step a little closer or you’ll pi$$ on your feet.
The issue should be about the lack of cleaning up his mess.
