yeah, but why is the partial wall less than shoulder height? it blocks literally nothing

u/KromatRO 5d ago

It's for spray accidents not for privacy.

I have two responses:

  1. eww

  2. makes sense

Don't imagine is deliberate. Sometimes, jet hiting the urinal wall will result in a big splash that the urinal margin may not hold. That separator is there to save the neighbor, or you from a neighbor. And with this in mind, the free urinal choice makes more sense and that is why is instinctively known to men.

Some urinals are more splashy than others, too.

Some of those fuckers seem like they were designed with maximum splash-back in mind!

You gotta wave the stream around for a bit until you find that sweet spot which minimises splashback.

Just use your brain? You don't want to piss at a right angle to a surface. Look for a curve, it's like landing a skateboard in the transition on half pipe versus landing on in the flat.

No kidding. Sometimes you try and hit the urinal from different angles, naively assuming that there must be an angle that doesn’t splash back. But no. Apparently they’re designed with only two results: some spray back or a BUNCH of spray back. That’s why I go for a stall if they’re available and don’t look actively infectious. That way you get some distance from the strike zone. (Guess I’ve been holding these insights back for a long time. Thanks for hearing me out. ✌️)

They will also make those partitions as narrow as humanly possible to fit more people in than should be acceptable, to the point you wonder when they'll just give you a funnel and hose. Bathrooms are seriously overcrowded in a way that only airlines are capable of appreciating.

The piss pressure can be high enough that it will ricochet all over the guy next to you.

OG pissers know the spot to aim at to avoid any splashback, but dumb kids and whatnot (or just seriously dumb adults) may just blindly let lose anywhere in the urinal and it will go everywhere.

Remember, we’ve all been pissing right next to each other since a very young age.

Its so you can look over the wall and compliment your neighbor on their member.

u/Diligent_Matter1186 5d ago

That's how you get unwanted dates.

u/Lolkimbo 5d ago

Not everyone is the same height. And its usually to stop splash back.

Be greatful you americans don't have that urination pit/trough we have to deal with ._.

u/Duckiesims 5d ago

They still exist here in some places, but aren't common anymore. Mostly older stadiums/arenas or outdoor park facilities. These were the bane of my existence as a child

I’m 6’5 so those fuckers don’t block anything at all! Maybe they block people from seeing me if they’re shorter (like by a lot) but I’ll always keep eyes directly forward lol
