Home of the Best of Halifax Reader's Choice Awards, the award-winning independent newspaper covers the Halifax news, politics, events, concerts, movies, restaurants, and nightlife scene.
I work in an office building, shared with two companies. Why is it so hard to piss in the the toilet rather than being a human lawn sprinkler (men’s room).
And the sinks are like ducks splashing in a pond. Holy Fuck! Do you do this at home? Obviuosly you’re not married

This company should get urinals..
Women’s public washrooms are equally disgusting. Toilet tissue wiping the seat does not clean anything, it merely dries the seat. I’d rather see the droplets lest I think that nice dry seat is clean and actually sit on it. Ugh! The floors around toilets and urinals are no less disgusting.
you wanna know what really pisses me off about pissing today. the fact that over 75 percent of businesses do not have a public washroom if you require an emergency pit stop.a certain cargo place in bayer’s lake almost floored me today,when a lady in obivious distress, inquired as to using a bathroom, or she would have an accident, and had to wait 20 minutes for a cab to come. this is after spending quite an amount of cash there too.holy fuck people,would you rather she just let it go there on the spot,and would never have been allowed into the cab after that, and think of the embarassment.
Some oldies here will remember when malls, restaurants and retailers tried to bring in pay toilets back in the 70’s. Although at first there were free urinals, and a token free shitter (usually occupied), in Scotia Square they tried to go with “pay at the outer door”.
I remember before the Doobie Bros concert in around ’78 taking a steamy hot booze-piss into a potted plant outside the men’s room ’cause of this , oh well, our society sows what capitalist seeds it can…and reaps the rewards in return…
In general, a messy bog breeds more mess…if it’s cleaned regularly, it stays clean longer. If I find a disgusting toilet on the road that is clearly not cleaned (and let’s be honest – some owners of rest stops come from countries where cleaning a toilet is “beneath them…” and so they avoid it)…if I find a toilet like that, I just want to get out of there as fast as possible, and I have little or no concern about making a mess…
In fact, in a clearly and purposefully neglected toilet, I have pissed all over the place on purpose, in what I like to call “urinary civil disobedience”…
…where DO you work, OP?
I used to work as a janitor 15 years ago and I can tell you that 9 times out of 10, the women’s washrooms were far far more disgusting that the men’s. There’d be a little bit of piss on the floor in the men’s room, but that’s about it. There was always piss on the seats/floor in the women’s washroom due to the “squat and hover” technique. But there was also always toilet paper on the floor, tampon/maxi pad wrappers, used tampons on the floor and the worst was a panty liner that a woman had used to wipe her ass, then stuck to the stall door. Women are just as disgusting as men when it comes to public cleanliness. Nobody thinks they have to clean up after themselves in public.
people do know that urine is for all intents and purposes nearly completely sterile right?
and a wipe suffices….
I dunno, maybe I’m a disgusting man-bear-pig but I don’t quite see the issue here.
I can get on board with the duck-splashed counters though,… although perhaps if the ‘washroom engineers’ put the paper-towel dispenser anywhere near the ‘place where your hands get wet’, you wouldn’t see this issue.
zZz: I totally agree with you about a wipe being sufficient… pee is sterile, so you’re good to go. Furthermore, it would be very hard to get an infection through your legs / ass cheeks anyway, unless you had some open sores on there (no comment).
People are paranoid about not sitting down and then they neglect to wash their hands properly or at all. Silliness.
Also being married has nothing to do with ones bathroom habits, a slob is a slob married or not, I’ve never had a problem with hitting the mark, nagging or otherwise…
OT: It’s bad that some people don’t wash their hands afterward, for the sake of other people, but have you ever thought how dumb it is not to wash your hands BEFORE? Your hands are much dirtier than your junk, boys and girls. Wash before, or invite the world into your pants.
I dunno…my junk is pretty dirty.
Urine is sterile???
It is.
…ever seen that episode of Friends where ___ has to pee on ____’s leg/foot to help wash off some kind of sting/venom?
(lol …little help, here?)
Not that that’s proof, but it might be the only reason some people know that fact.
For the ladies sake Miles (and anyone else), wash it thoroughly everyday … If you think it’s dirty can you really expect a willing female to… well you get the idea…
logic…it depends helmet head or anteater…urine gets rid of jellyfish sting those boxcar j.f. are bad mfs
Oh, sorry for the confusion. My junk is clean enough to eat off of. I meant to say I do dirty stuff with it.
Urine is only sterile from healthy people. However, once it touches the outside of the body, which is not sterile, it becomes exposed to bacteria which multiply at a fast pace. If it has been sitting on a toilet seat for awhile the sterility is lost. A male friend at a bar told me that handwashing in the washroom of said establishment was practically non-existant…about 5% actually did it. Handling one’s genitals during urination without washing them after is the same as touching everything with your genitals. Pretty effing gross not to mention inconsiderate.
Not the case paingirl, if I assume correctly that your stating uncircumcized can not be kept clean, I disagree. It’s a matter of attention, and respecting the female willing to explore the region. If properly attended to, and I wont get into the detail unless argued on this, it can be kept extremely clean.
Oceanlady, just to follow up on that, I was in a washroom at a local bar and when some guy was called on for not washing his hands, the guy responded and I quote “my hands will only be touching some slut anyways, so who cares…”
Just a note for the ladies out there… I’d like to say this dirtbag was the exception, however I rarely see guys washing their hands at a bar…
i know logic…i have been around the block i just wanted to see if anyone knew what i meant…whatever one eyed trouser snake you sport keep er clean
lol paingirl, from what I’ve heard not all do as they should…
“here i sit broken hearted paid a dime and only farted”
the friends episode.. that’s what you came up with? oy vay…
it’s the ammonia that helps the stinging…
and I suppose Oceanlady is technically accurate.
it’s only sterile while in the bladder, as the bladder is sterile as well.
once it’s exposed to elements, it’s fair game for bacteria though I would doubt the “fast pace” comment.. besides, I would think it would dry before getting too nasty.. I mean we’re not talking a puddle here, just a drop or two.
a light spritz if you will.
and the bar comment is true… “those” guys are filthy in every way.
I won’t even re-tie my shoe without sanitizer handy if I’ve been near a washroom.
you think the seats are filthy… imagine what’s picked up by your laces on the floor.
zZz, ever seen someone wearing open shoes/sandals… Just imagine…
zZz: it’s on the bottom of your shoes too… and long hemlines. If that doesn’t get you all those unwashed hands applying genital bacteria to every surface they touch i.e. beverage containers, money, pool cues, tables, chairs, other people etc. will. Totally disgusting behaviour! Toilet hands NEED washing!
zZz…the Friends episode.
Yes, I was pandering to the masses there.
My bad. Y’all bitchers are much to smart for that.
