New discovery for me. REALLY?

German men pee sitting down, 67%. This happened during the women's movement during the 70s and there are signs posted all in public bathrooms. Boy are taught that in Grade school as well. Talk about cultural differences?

This is news to me. There are a few German members here, lets hear about it?

How bout' you guys down under or NZ?

I took a couple showers in Germany (no pee, thank you) where the showers were covered in a velour / carpet material.

I believe it.

And, don't get me started about "Hawaii Toast!"

I was a bachelor for a long time. Splashing piss all over everything and then having to clean it up is more effort than hovering. You can sit if your water level to hang-downs dimension will allow.

Middle of the night with impending doom from Mrs Strict (the wife) if I miss.

I sat my ask right down.

Hawaii Toast.

I was in Koblenz (sp?) in about 1997. Stopped for the night where the train and bus lines intersected. Had dinner at a unremarkable looking restaurant.

I read the menu. It said "Hawaii Toast." I asked the waiter what this was. He gave me the oddest look, as if EVERYONE knew what this was. He said it was a universal meal. I laughed as I ordered, considering how I am a native of Oregon, much closer to the Islands. And, I had never heard of any such thing.

Well, it was like Hawaiian pizza, but with toast. There was pineapple. Maybe some Canadian bacon. Maybe eggs as well. Summary: it was awful. A European twist on something that was just a flop.

Never seen it since. Thankfully. My wife and I will joke about this even today.

We spent a week in Koblenz, just about 20 years ago. Such a beautiful small city. Thankfully we didn't get to experience Hawaii Toast. We walked around and near the river almost daily with my girlfriend. people looked at us if we were from outer space. Weird. Oh, I must have committed the stand up pee law. Everywhere I want, I peed standing up. Come and think of it, I don't remember seeing urinals?

I love Koblenz.

I visited Hamburg, which must the be girliest of the German cities. I don't remember urinals at most of the bars (I don't remember anything at most of the bars...) but there WAS a trough at the "British Pub". There was also several very drunk Brit expats, and a Scottish Ex-Black Watch soldier. Someone had thrown a bunch of those little toy plastic tablets that turned into foam dinosaurs when they get wet.

The St Pauli girls were top notch though...

One of my friends used to grumble about his roommate that splashed all over the place. He,, otoh, pisses sitting down. I asked why. He said it was safer to do it that way in prison.

In the middle of the night, I will sit to have a wizz instead of turning on the light and worrying about trying to aim once I unleash the manliness of the main vein...

The bright lights make it harder to get back to sleep... the cold water from sitting down... that doesn’t help either but standing has the same issue.

If I am outside, I aim it downwind....most of the time with arms up, and my fingers laced behind my head. I am the ruler of my domain !

I stand firmly upon a step stool to prevent immersion. It usually works but I am considering an upgrade to a step ladder.

After a lifetime or practice, and not getting married until my late 30s I learned to carefully aim. If a drop his the rim, it is easy to wipe it off with the handy toilet paper. On most occasions after a bowel movement and trying to empty my bladder while seated I end up standing up, and feeling the need to pee. I can't fully empty my bladder while seated.
