      I’ve had a period of my life where I preferred sitting down, but I’m back at preferably standing up. Main advantages are:

      • less likely to spend half an hour on my phone
      • (On public/work toilets) lower risk of sitting down on someone else’s pee

    OK?

    Of course there’s splatter when you’re sending your waste through the air like that. Just sit down when you pee. No researchers or additional bathroom fixtures needed.

    Really tired of men demanding special privileges for their irrational (and unhygienic!) habits. They can just sit down when they relieve themselves like the rest of us.

      No can do, boss.
      Johnson dangles a lot and coils in the bowl.
      I gotta plop it over my shoulder to keep my hands free.
      Dont even ask about the times it’s in the mood. I look like a tree hugger holding it with my hands, otherwise it slams the floor with a loud thud.
      Designated peeing whitewear is a necessity for me.

      At home I pretty much always sit down. In public restrooms though? I prefer a urinal. It’s faster, and I don’t have to worry about the people who can’t manage to get everything in the toilet. I wouldn’t call it a “special privilege” but rather the more efficient option if you have the hardware for it. It’s part of the reason why the men’s restroom usually has less of a wait.
