The Seat is for Sitting

Here in SF, it is law that toilet seat covers be supplied in public rest rooms. So, after I grab the Wall Street Journal and put it under my arm, on my way to the second office, I lay down the paper seat cover. For those of you non Californians, these things are very thin and flimsy in order to be flushable. 2 out of 3 times the paper seat cover gets glued to the seat, and the adhesive agent is clearly yellow. For those women readers, the men's bathroom has both urinals and toilets. The urinals are meant for urination, the other one is meant for the other thing, and from what I understand you have to sit down for the other thing.

Why the F do people go into the toilet to urinate. Moreover, why do those people have less stream control than the average person? Furthermore, it is more work to urinate in the toilet than a urinal; A urinal requires walking over and undoing the fly, then shaking off and you are done. The toilet requires more steps than that, and ruins it for everyone else who needs to do number two.

Here is the deal people, no one in the men's bathroom cares about the size of your unit, and there are privacy dividers as well, so please just pull it out and use the urinal next time. And if you do insist on using the wrong one, please put the seat up.

One reason for using the sit down toilet to piss, no risk of splash back.

Dude, I use the stalls all the time instead of urinals. At work, it ensures you won't get into any awkward situations when the CEO rolls up next to you. You'll never have to think about any "rules" governing urinal small talk. Secondly, have you ever felt all the piss splashing back at you in a urinal? Disgusting. Stalls all the way!

Just use the sink. Then when you are done, run the water for a few seconds and you are good to go.

And if its a number two, just use the trash disposal (garburator).
