Researchers have come up with two new urinal designs to prevent the spillage of “ill-aimed pee.”
I recall one place I worked. There was a “ofd” older gentleman. I was in the restroom with him at a urinal. He went to the paper towel holder, grabbed about 5 pieces, folded them, and then proceeded to wipe the inside of the urinal out. After he finished, he put the paper towel into one of his back pockets and peed, I think. I didn’t stay to watch him finish. I just exited the bathroom and didn’t look back.
Just thinking how many times I use a urinal a year, multiply by population, the only way this makes sense is with some number of people just pissing onto the floor.
THIS IS WHY
If we could all be civil and just sit down to pee, the world would be a better place.
Yes I’ve been saying this for at least 20 years. Toilets are for sitting and urinals are for standing. My wife also appreciates this.
The problem is: This only works if EVERYONE does it. The second anyone breaks and gets a few drops on the toilet seat, it’s over. Because that is part of the reason we stand in the first place. We know how gross we are, and if you can see the gross it validates that.
I hate society 😔 lmfao
I can’t speak for the whole country but where I work people really do just piss on the floor.
You never worked in a school I guess.
It’s 0.003 liters per day per person
you suck at math
So you think the average person uses a public urinal more than 365 times a year? Also about half the population sit.
About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.
I didn’t write the article :)
If you’re angry about the math comment, bust out a calculator. You could have reached that verdict yourself.
A calculator isn’t going to tell me how many times a year I use a urinal.
Been in a pub toilet when a drunk guy came in, whipped it out half way across the room and the dirty fucker started pissing while staggering to the urinal. Just a fucken animal.
Ultimate solution:
Gotta paint some faces on there, with puckered lips.
Just… Sit down. Shit in the urinal.

Seems like a complete lie. Men might lose a few drops due to the shape of the bowl tops. It’s certainly not worth anyone tearing out urinals in the hope some hypothetical piss splashage goes down.
And personally a better goal for urinal design is water reduction. i.e. urinals that use no water, or the bare minimum to flush the piss through.

Don’t get me started on those “zero water” urinals. They start to stink and accumulate all kinds of nasty in a matter of weeks. There’s a reason we flush all of that stuff down the toilet and into the sewers.
It’s a little more than 1/2 a teaspoon, per person. Not exactly hard to believe.
As someone who used to work in huge hockey arenas. Piss everywhere. All the time.
Before it was rebuilt in the 90s, the MLB stadium in my part of town just had an open trough along a wall with water constantly trickling down it. No dividers.
I can’t remember if the toilet stalls still had doors or not, just that it was the foulest rest room I’d ever used until I started working at music festivals.
They are fixing a problem that has already been solved. There are already urinals that take this into consideration. The problem is not in the design, it is the implementation. For some reason everybody everywhere installs those awful American Standard urinals that are specifically designed to splatter pee onto your pants.
For some reason

Most of it is in my bathroom when my father-in-law visits.
I personally estimate 85% is from the troughs at Fenway.
Seeing the amount of micro penis compensating trucks in the US, I’m not surprised
I’m skeptical about this.
There are like 170M dudes
And say each pee is about 300ml
Then 1 in 50 dudes needs to have a full pee on the floor every day.Ok maybe that’s a bit more believable
If you include the outliers that are incontinent, it makes up for the folks who skip a day or two of floor-pissing.
Lol there’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.
It probably includes the nearly microscopic droplets that spray out of the urinal.
Have you ever had to clean public restrooms? Nothing microscopic about the drops of splashback.
I wear shorts, I already know!
As you get older it’s no joke what kind of medical conditions can make something so simple end up being so difficult. 1/50 is not even a stretch.
I’m also dubious on how the number is arrived at.
5ml per man per day misses target.

I’m doing MY part!!!
“Would you like to know more?”
Who the heck has counted this?
LEG DAY EVERY DAY
Is there a third to wipe?
