      I sit down every time I go to piss because it’s one if the few places where I can be sure I’ll be left alone. It’s not about the piss. It’s about the break.

    You guys with your weird water-to-the-brim toilets. My first encounter with an American toilet made me think it was clogged. So I pissed outside to satiate my feral needs.

      the hell kind of toilet were you using? they usually have water in like the bottom third and the water level only goes up for a moment when you flush.

        That’s just because they don’t have water in European toilets, they flush by spitting into the toilet until the poo goes down.

          weird that the hole is in the front. most American toilets have the hole directly under your butthole and the poop just goes straight in (most of the time) with the water breaking it’s fall on the way.

        We have an older style with a ton of water, as well as the new “water wise” version. More water is better, but honestly, flushing twice isn’t an issue.

          do y’all not have the kind where you press one button for pee (uses very little water bc no solid mass to move) and one for poop (more water, but still less than normal toilets)? those are pretty common here in the states now bc they save a lot of water.

            Nope, just the good old fashioned, freedom-loving single lever. I’ve seen the button one at restaurants and offices and whatnot, but never in someone’s home. I have three toilets in my house, my parents have three, and my siblings each have two or three, and all of them use a single lever. Some of them have less water in the bowl, but all of them use the standard flushing mechanism.

            It turns out water is pretty cheap even in my desert state (Utah), the city just does a good job cleaning it up for reuse (I think it goes to irrigation, not completely sure). So while we have incentives for reducing gardening water (especially lawns), electricity, and gas use, I haven’t seen an incentive for those low-flow toilets for residential homes, probably because toilets aren’t user of water (showers use a ton more).

    ok, sidepoint, but the other day I realized that urinals are just dedicated walls for people to pee on and I think that’s really sweet

    Okay hear me out, the water splashes less. It makes sound but if you piss on the ceramic the piss moisture comes back at you which is disgusting.

    So that’s why some “men” piss standing, despite soiling the toilet each.fucking.time.

      Those men sound like they:

      1. can’t aim
      2. don’t lift the seat

      That said, I tend to sit out of consideration for my wife, but I’m good about etiquette when in a hurry.
