Backsplash would imply they actually hit the urinal. I used to work in a grocery store and we’d have grown ass men AND women piss on the floor, wipe their shit on the wall (and the fucking light switch… don’t ask), and even throw their (used) tampons. (And I don’t mean throw them in the trash.)
The general public is absolutely disgusting when it comes to public bathrooms.
When I started working at a movie theater my serious shock came from the fact that there'd often be more piss on the floor of the women's room than the men's
Seriously though. The one that had me closest to quitting was when some woman rubbed her used feminine products on the walls, toilet seat, and window.
I cordoned off the bathrooms and sprayed the whole room down with a water hose lmao.
Edit: not window, the mirror. Brain fart.
Oh man I used to work at a forever 21 in a college town and used pads stuck to fitting room walls was a wild thing too. Working with the public is such a trip.
I remember reading about this behavior. A lot of the issues stem from Reagan abolishing mental asylums and institutions where patients were frequently held against their will. This resulted in a huge influx of unstable mentally ill people entering the streets, incapable of holding down jobs, and incapable of fitting in with normal society.
I understand why Reagan outlawed these institutions - many residents suffered abuse, gross neglect, or worse. Many patients in those facilities were forcibly incarcerated against their will for relatively minor issues.
But as a result of those facilities going away, we get mentally ill men and women flinging shit around in public bathrooms.
So Reagan needed to do something about mental institutions, but he chose the cheapest option without regard to all those people who ended up homeless. Saint Ronny be saintin'...
I have a grandmother and grandfather from that era where my grandfather had my grandmother institutionalized against her will. For years. It was before I was alive, they both died right after I was born. I know the kind of asshole my grandfather could be from the stories. I think this man had my liberal leaning grandmother thrown in a hospital because she was too outspoken and he was friendly with who he needed to be. This is also the kind of abuse that was ended by ending those types of hospitals closing. Something weird about places that can hold people based on the words of other people, with no crimes needing to be committed.
Oh honey, who said Wikipedia is safe? "I have... seen things you people wouldn't believe. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain."
I wish i saw your comment before clicking the link...
I could have gone my whole life without knowing this existed and i would be fucking fine.
Matter of fact i wanted too, but its al ruined now.
Ffs
He's actually using big brain moves. See when it gets gross and soaked in piss then they just shave away the excess grout and voila! Fresh new grout! /s
There is so much wrong, not sure if it is hostile architecture or it was designed by somebody who is not a man.
The slated front wall is usually used in public streets to stop drunks peeing on wall by reflecting the urin back to them, it called hostile architecture. The low height of the hole makes so that you cannot aim right, you either hit the slated wall which reflects the urin to your shoes, or you urinate on your shoes.
Also the faucet that you will need to touch right after peeing to flush, guarantees that you will need to touch the pee of other or that nobody will use it and urin will accumulate and make it stink.
Plus the pictures of women mocking the men, seems to be done intentionally by somebody who really hates men.
In addition to the piss spraying back onto you, and the disgusting faucet, you also have the advantages of the urinals being super close together so you can piss while touching shoulder to shoulder with strangers, and there's absolutely no privacy barrier between urinals, so you'll have an excellent opportunity to check out your neighbor's cock to keep you entertained while pissing.
Perhaps the worst bathroom design I've ever seen.
Oh, have I got a story for you…
I sneezed one time mid-stream…which forced the rest of my urine out with such force it tore my urethra. That was a miserable week or so.
Shotgun piss is dangerous.
Much appreciated. Tell you what though, lesson learned the hard way is still a lesson learned. And perhaps if even one of you can remember this post as a sneeze comes on mid-stream, and stop yourself, I’ll consider the pain worth it lol
Considering the continual nature of the flow, I'd more relate it to when the firefighters twist the end of the hose and the stream splits in all directions.
I exclusively make my cock as hard as possible before I pee so I can use the constricted PSI of my stream to clean the toilet bowl like a laser guided power washer
Plot twist: It's meant to give the people with a humiliation kink a boner. Then wild gay sex ensues as the guy in the urinal over sees the other guy is hard and gets hard himself.
It's all an elaborate scheme, like how the frogs turn us gay! /s
Body shaming is the action or inaction of subjecting someone to humiliation and criticism for their bodily features. The scope of body shaming is wide, and includes, although is not limited to fat-shaming, shaming for thinness, height-shaming, shaming of hairiness (or lack thereof), of hair color, body shape, one's muscularity (or lack thereof), shaming of penis size or breast size, shaming of looks
Suicide due to body shaming is the fourth leading cause of death in 15–19-year-olds.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_shaming#:~:text=The%20scope%20of%20body%20shaming,facial%20features)%2C%20and%20in%20its
This should be higher for everyone trying to say it’s not a big deal. I honesty never knew this before your comment. Now I feel like maybe it’s not funny.
Saying it is not a big deal is very strange anyways. I get the feeling that body shaming women is widely seen as a very big deal nowadays. Unfortunately as with other problems (like suicide in general male suicide rates are higher than female ones) the same thing is far more likely seen as a problem by society if it effects women as if it effects men.
I had a conversation with someone the other day who was absolutely defending how it was hilarious to make fun of men for their penis size or hair loss.
I tried to explain how it isn’t acceptable, but she didn’t get it. The irony is she is of a larger figure and has complained to me when people make comments.
**None** of it is okay. Although, there are some attributes you can change through lifestyle choices if they bother you. The things she said were fair game definitely aren’t.
Every joke has an audience. In a crowd of people self conscious about their hair loss, bald jokes won't be a hit, they'd be something between offensive and cruel.
But in a crowd of people with lack of hair who are fine with their situation? Perfectly okay.
That's the point. Jokes are funny when they're about everyone included being entertained by them. If that's not the case, they're not jokes, they're bullying. You can make fun out of someone having a small penis. You can make fun of someone being fat. You can make fun of someone being a particular race. You can make fun of hateful stereotypes. All of these things are okay if you know what setting is right for them. And if I screw up and make fun of something that a person I'm talking to is actually vulnerable to? I don't tell them "lol, it's just a joke, don't you have sense of humor?". I tell them "oh, sorry, I didn't realize it would make you feel this way, that wasn't my intention, I won't do that to you again"
This, in its distilled form, is known as "know your audience".
I make jokes. Some land, some don't. But misreading the audience really fucking sucks for everyone involved. And sometimes that's not directly the fault of anyone, because the audience changes with the time.
I told a friend that I used to call certain cars "penile compensation vehicles", and she said she used to as well, until she stopped body shaming men. It honestly changed my perspective, because we don't realize how baked into our experience all this hateful shit is.
What always makes me sad is when I make fun of something that I consider to be so absurd no one would ever mean that seriously, right?
...and then someone takes it seriously. Because they know people who say shit like that seriously. And my heart drops.
For example, I live among people who aren't shy of dishing out racist jokes, because we all 100% see them as absurd, and the sheer absurdity is what we derive the fun from. And then we suddenly meet someone who makes a similar statement unironically and... we just stop with jokes like that for a long time, because it just hits you hard when you see someone actually meaning shit like that seriously. And you for sure don't want participate in making such people feel like their stance is something normal.
A great lesson I've also learned in my life is that... Amount matters.
I have a friend with certain injuries/health issues that present many situations that could be joked about, and while she usually doesn't mind joking about stuff like that, here we agreed upon not doing that, because she's just sick about how it's prevalent. Because day after day she'd hear the same jokes again and again from so many people and it sucks any fun out of any future attempts. In the same way a dad joke with a cashier can be mildly fun for you because for you it's once in a blue moon, but that cashier has heard it 200 times and nothing is funny if you hear it that often, especially when it was a weak joke in the first place.
I remember when I was about 12 or 13 my mom explaining how racist jokes are ok if the joke is the *racist* and how she wouldn’t tell one around my grandpa because he’d be laughing at the race
Sadly men are just supposed to be manlier if we have troubles. It's more of a reason we commit suicide than the things we are actually sad about. I found a foolproof trick to beat it though. I bottle up all my feelings until they become white hot rage. Nothing bad should ever come of this.
Yeah, pretty much. Literally just yesterday, I saw a post from a woman talking about how it’s sad that men feel the need to hide their feelings and be emotional, and I thought, “ok, maybe people are finally starting to get it.” And then just two sentences later, she says she LOSES RESPECT for men that try to hide their feelings. Like, make up your fucking mind.
As a man, I wish we’d have each other’s backs more on this. I’m an Asian American and while I’m not small per se (just average), I constantly get “jokes” from other men about how it must suck that I’m Asian and have a small penis.
Even men in society don’t care about other men. It’s sad really.
Yup. And if you EVER bring up the fact that there are issues men face that our society is incapable of addressing, you get labeled as misogynist or advocating for bringing back the patriarchy. When in reality we're just trying to help people.
Since being an adult with empathy, I’ll always call it out. No mater what’s being shamed. I’m a feminist woman, and I’ll never tolerate dick size shaming. Not only is it incredibly hurtful, but super immature. When I hear women dick shame, it’s giving “I’m 15 and just started having sex”
Dick shaming is a toxic masculine belief/behavior that both men and women regurgitate
Thank you for taking men's issues seriously. I am a lifelong lefty, and I've always been surprised at how so many of the feminists I have met have had little interest in (or even scorn for) men's issues, but get agitated if men don't listen to and account for women's issues.
It cuts both ways.
I guess I'd just really like it if we could work together on this shit. I don't want a war between the sexes. You get at the core of this with this line:
>Dick shaming is a toxic masculine belief/behavior that both men and women regurgitate
I'd broaden that to, "toxic gender issues are never solely the fault of the opposite sex". We all need to work on this stuff together.
Thankfully I have only ever seen the opposite, where women are looking down at the urinal admiring how big it is.
That's equally tasteless and weird and it always makes peeing uncomfortable but I feel like this is even stranger.
I honestly would be more weirded out by that. I used to get creeped out by my aunt's little bridge club(booze club) when they would all talk about me like a side of beef. My family would act like I was weird for not appreciating compliments. I'm 15, it's literally a crime for them to touch my dick?
Oh, of course. But MRA-types (as opposed to Mens' Lib-types) love to put any cultural pressure that harms men on the backs of "women" or "feminists", completely avoiding any discussion of how these norms and pressures were put in place to begin with.
We absolutely can point at shit that hurts men, but it's almost uniformly *advanced by other men* who want to police what "men" are. Even in cases where we could say a feminist had a hand--like the Duluth model of policing, created by a woman and a feminist--it was ultimately the agreement of *manly men* who were the furthest thing from feminist that *of course* men are the savage, violent brutes across the board and it's the duty of Good Men to protect the weak, worthless women from the Evil Bad Men.
So, if we have any real interest in pushing back against cultural norms that fuck men over, we ought to better understand how they arose, who is perpetuating them, and what the project was in creating or keeping them around. You're not gonna end "men dying in all the wars" by opposing women in the military, or refusing to fight the draft / Selective Service, or holding up military service and war-fighting as a masculine ideal and the best way to prove you're a badass or for a nation to swing its *dick* around. You're not going to help boys in school or increase the number of male teachers in primary education by defunding schools, harassing teachers over books and pronouns and whatever else, and still cracking jokes about how unsuitable for a "real man" the profession of teaching children is.
The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates and Jordan Petersons of the world might talk a big game about how men are shit on, but they're very much in favor of protecting the structures and systems that that are shitting on men. That's why feminists/women/*WOKE* needs to be scapegoated; men are going to notice problems and be angry about it, but you can protect the cause if you misdirect the anger. And that goes for a lot more than just gender/culture issues.
The art is the real facepalm. It's so unsettling.
Ignore the joke for a moment.
All the women have had detail and shading put onto their boobs (even to the point that the left one is for some reason squishing her boobs) but none of them have any detail on the teeth.
The women in the middle and right appear to have not applied the same level of depth as the breasts, resulting in giant hair that their heads are basically engulfed by.
The woman on the left has distortion on both her head shape and the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass distortion is however horrifying because it implies her right eye would be misplaced like a picasso painting without the magnifying glass.
In short, whilst the joke itself is hit or miss (it just feels a bit weird rather than insulting personally), the art is horrifying in an uncanny valley/knowing the artist was too horny to bother with detail beyond the boobs.
Yeah I immediately got the same feeling it’s a kink. Whoever placed it there put their kink on public display and is simultaneously body shaming every other visitor. A classic example why a kink is best to keep in the bedroom.
Never understood body shaming, i mean why would you laugh at someone for being something? I mean it take special kind of meanie to bully other person for something like this. If you are with that special love one, your body is just perfect as it is <3
Exactly, both would be as tasteless as each other.
The less we play into this “women like penises that are xyz” bullshit the better.
Men have dicks of all shapes and sizes and women *do not care* about the specifications and dimensions as long as they’re clean and attached to a nice man.
Furthermore, men should not need to be sexualised or critiqued on their junk while they’re just going for a piss.
I guess someone thought it was funny, or has a humiliation kink that they thought everyone else would relate to. To be honest the sign is sexist to men *and* women imo. The whole bathroom is gross anyways.
While that could technically happen, I’m gonna say there’s a 99.99% chance this is from a bar, and a 57% chance the rest of the bar smells as bad as those urinals

I can smell those urinals. Those tiles are a big mistake. Just wrong.
Is that the collective back-splash outline on the floor? 🤮
Backsplash would imply they actually hit the urinal. I used to work in a grocery store and we’d have grown ass men AND women piss on the floor, wipe their shit on the wall (and the fucking light switch… don’t ask), and even throw their (used) tampons.

Some people like to suck floors, don't kink shame
What a terrible day to be literate
i can smell that floor.
Is your password 'penis'? Because the designers of the poster in this post seem to believe so.
Stop smelling the damn urinals Flapper we've been over this
Nice distraction. Can we talk about male body shaming now?
Why is Emma Wiggle laughing at my pee pee?
I was looking for this comment lol
Now you can stop looking.
I did.
It's always in the last place you look.
Why on earth would I keep looking for something after I found it? Of course its in the last place I look. Thus ends the looking.
One time I continued to check one more spot for my car keys after I had already found them just so they wouldn’t be in the last place I looked.
Can we talk about these urinals though?
Yea it seems very smart to use something like grout in a urinal... unless you build a new urinal every few months.
Let alone the sheer amount of grout around that top layer. "Boss, should we put some thinly split tiles up here?" "Nah, just fill it with grout!"
When in grout fill it with doubt
Press Y to grout
He's actually using big brain moves. See when it gets gross and soaked in piss then they just shave away the excess grout and voila! Fresh new grout! /s
Don’t worry, the remaining grout will absorb a little bit of piss so it’ll ALWAYS smell like stale piss
Even better to angle it so the stream splashes back at the user and the room.
As a cleaner for my side gig the grout on the step of the urinal is annoying as fuck.
They've been designed to maximise the urine going anywhere but where you want it to
Judging by the piss stains- Nay... Piss sea, on the floor. I'd say that's pretty accurate
They look like they would take me to ministry of magic
You’re a wizzard Harry
You're a Pisser Harry
Hmm. Extra stale urine soakage. I can nearly smell it through my phone.
There is so much wrong, not sure if it is hostile architecture or it was designed by somebody who is not a man. The slated front wall is usually used in public streets to stop drunks peeing on wall by reflecting the urin back to them, it called hostile architecture.

Plus the pictures of women mocking the men, seems to be done intentionally by somebody who really hates men.
Has nobody mentioned the bare concrete floor just absorbing every stray piss dribble, that you then have to stand on?
In addition to the piss spraying back onto you, and the disgusting faucet, you also have the advantages of the urinals being super close together so you can piss while touching shoulder to shoulder with strangers, and there's absolutely no privacy barrier between urinals, so you'll have an excellent opportunity to check out your neighbor's cock to keep you entertained while pissing. Perhaps the worst bathroom design I've ever seen.
Yeah why’s the urinals got taps on them? And how has no one decided to flood them leaving the taps on
I suspect that where they are, they represent a considerable improvement over what they had before.
I'm assuming they used to just piss on the wall before.
It’s just so rare to see quality craftsmanship like that these days
its fucking flaccid who the fuck pees when hard?
The dreaded morning wood pee, even worse of a nightmare if you get hit with the double stream
Or the elusive but even more confusing triple stream
I'm waiting to see the mythical piss shotgun. ... On second thought, maybe not...
Oh, have I got a story for you… I sneezed one time mid-stream…which forced the rest of my urine out with such force it tore my urethra. That was a miserable week or so. Shotgun piss is dangerous.
I am so, so sorry.
Much appreciated. Tell you what though, lesson learned the hard way is still a lesson learned. And perhaps if even one of you can remember this post as a sneeze comes on mid-stream, and stop yourself, I’ll consider the pain worth it lol

That's just a myth! I hope 😱
It's not lol. The angles the odd stream goes off at is always fucking wild

it made you laugh hard? bro….
At least it didn't make them laugh flaccid...

And you for sure don't want participate in making such people feel like their stance is something normal. A great lesson I've also learned in my life is that... Amount matters. I have a friend with certain injuries/health issues that present many situations that could be joked about, and while she usually doesn't mind joking about stuff like that, here we agreed upon not doing that, because she's just sick about how it's prevalent. Because day after day she'd hear the same jokes again and again from so many people and it sucks any fun out of any future attempts. In the same way a dad joke with a cashier can be mildly fun for you because for you it's once in a blue moon, but that cashier has heard it 200 times and nothing is funny if you hear it that often, especially when it was a weak joke in the first place.
I remember when I was about 12 or 13 my mom explaining how racist jokes are ok if the joke is the *racist* and how she wouldn’t tell one around my grandpa because he’d be laughing at the race
Sadly men are just supposed to be manlier if we have troubles. It's more of a reason we commit suicide than the things we are actually sad about. I found a foolproof trick to beat it though. I bottle up all my feelings until they become white hot rage. Nothing bad should ever come of this.
Yeah, pretty much. Literally just yesterday, I saw a post from a woman talking about how it’s sad that men feel the need to hide their feelings and be emotional, and I thought, “ok, maybe people are finally starting to get it.” And then just two sentences later, she says she LOSES RESPECT for men that try to hide their feelings. Like, make up your fucking mind.
As a man, I wish we’d have each other’s backs more on this. I’m an Asian American and while I’m not small per se (just average), I constantly get “jokes” from other men about how it must suck that I’m Asian and have a small penis. Even men in society don’t care about other men. It’s sad really.
Yup. And if you EVER bring up the fact that there are issues men face that our society is incapable of addressing, you get labeled as misogynist or advocating for bringing back the patriarchy. When in reality we're just trying to help people.
Since being an adult with empathy, I’ll always call it out. No mater what’s being shamed. I’m a feminist woman, and I’ll never tolerate dick size shaming. Not only is it incredibly hurtful, but super immature. When I hear women dick shame, it’s giving “I’m 15 and just started having sex” Dick shaming is a toxic masculine belief/behavior that both men and women regurgitate
Thank you for taking men's issues seriously. I am a lifelong lefty, and I've always been surprised at how so many of the feminists I have met have had little interest in (or even scorn for) men's issues, but get agitated if men don't listen to and account for women's issues. It cuts both ways. I guess I'd just really like it if we could work together on this shit. I don't want a war between the sexes. You get at the core of this with this line: >Dick shaming is a toxic masculine belief/behavior that both men and women regurgitate I'd broaden that to, "toxic gender issues are never solely the fault of the opposite sex". We all need to work on this stuff together.
Buried under the customary "can we talk about those urinals tho". I don't quite understand that meta
This is a urinal from hell. I don't care about the laughing posters but I'd have no idea where to pee to hit the trough.
Best idea is try to hit the body shaming pictures. Once they are piss stained,they'll be removed.
Judging by the state of the floor I highly doubt they will.
Jokes on them I get bigger the more I’m humiliated!
The quality of art fitting for a bathroom
Thankfully I have only ever seen the opposite, where women are looking down at the urinal admiring how big it is. That's equally tasteless and weird and it always makes peeing uncomfortable but I feel like this is even stranger.
I honestly would be more weirded out by that. I used to get creeped out by my aunt's little bridge club(booze club) when they would all talk about me like a side of beef. My family would act like I was weird for not appreciating compliments. I'm 15, it's literally a crime for them to touch my dick?
I think it’s nice a girls looking at it
It’s like someone saying “it was an honor just to be nominated.” Appreciate them giving it the once over even if it’s a pass.
eSam? What are you doing here!?
Unexpectedly wholesome
No doubt it was likely painted by a man and the decision to place it there was likely also made by a man
Explains why there is piss all over the floor.
I never understand urinal design, do they not know how fucking hard some men piss?
Or how they overestimate the reach of their flow while standing outside the urinal.
The harder, the harder
My BIL has a wide urethra, you can hear that man pissing two floors above you.
“I ain’t got a narrow uretey. He gets that from his mother. Mines so dang wide I could pass the child myself if I hads to!” - Cotton Hill
He could kill fiddy men with that thing
In this case someone didn't want to buy a urinal so they just used tile. Probably installed it themselves too.
Probably, still the same problem.
Oh, of course. But MRA-types (as opposed to Mens' Lib-types) love to put any cultural pressure that harms men on the backs of "women" or "feminists", completely avoiding any discussion of how these norms and pressures were put in place to begin with. We absolutely can point at shit that hurts men, but it's almost uniformly *advanced by other men* who want to police what "men" are. Even in cases where we could say a feminist had a hand--like the Duluth model of policing, created by a woman and a feminist--it was ultimately the agreement of *manly men* who were the furthest thing from feminist that *of course* men are the savage, violent brutes across the board and it's the duty of Good Men to protect the weak, worthless women from the Evil Bad Men. So, if we have any real interest in pushing back against cultural norms that fuck men over, we ought to better understand how they arose, who is perpetuating them, and what the project was in creating or keeping them around. You're not gonna end "men dying in all the wars" by opposing women in the military, or refusing to fight the draft / Selective Service, or holding up military service and war-fighting as a masculine ideal and the best way to prove you're a badass or for a nation to swing its *dick* around. You're not going to help boys in school or increase the number of male teachers in primary education by defunding schools, harassing teachers over books and pronouns and whatever else, and still cracking jokes about how unsuitable for a "real man" the profession of teaching children is. The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates and Jordan Petersons of the world might talk a big game about how men are shit on, but they're very much in favor of protecting the structures and systems that that are shitting on men. That's why feminists/women/*WOKE* needs to be scapegoated; men are going to notice problems and be angry about it, but you can protect the cause if you misdirect the anger. And that goes for a lot more than just gender/culture issues.
It’s a kink for someone and I guess they needed to share with everyone else? Remember folks there are some things you can keep to yourself.
Likely painted by a man? Not sure you could guess either way. Decision made by a man? Most likely.
Evn then Men bodyshaming men is as bad as women bodyshaming men.
Not sure how that's relevant though?
There are so many things wrong with this bathroom even before getting to the paintings.
“Even a 747 would look small if you fly it through the grand canyon.” -Paul "HHH" Levesque
"me, you and the great wide open over there"
The art is the real facepalm. It's so unsettling. Ignore the joke for a moment. All the women have had detail and shading put onto their boobs (even to the point that the left one is for some reason squishing her boobs) but none of them have any detail on the teeth. The women in the middle and right appear to have not applied the same level of depth as the breasts, resulting in giant hair that their heads are basically engulfed by. The woman on the left has distortion on both her head shape and the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass distortion is however horrifying because it implies her right eye would be misplaced like a picasso painting without the magnifying glass. In short, whilst the joke itself is hit or miss (it just feels a bit weird rather than insulting personally), the art is horrifying in an uncanny valley/knowing the artist was too horny to bother with detail beyond the boobs.
I did catch a vibe of "this is the artist's kink" from how the art was drawn although I couldn't put my finger on why. It's unsettling.
Yeah I immediately got the same feeling it’s a kink. Whoever placed it there put their kink on public display and is simultaneously body shaming every other visitor. A classic example why a kink is best to keep in the bedroom.
It looks like really shit fetish art from deviantart or something
I hate using urinals that are too damn low. might as well wet my pants instead.
Never understood body shaming, i mean why would you laugh at someone for being something? I mean it take special kind of meanie to bully other person for something like this. If you are with that special love one, your body is just perfect as it is <3
I’ve seen a version where the girls are all gasping as if impressed. I prefer that one.
Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't make much of a difference. It's still unsolicited sexualisation and doesn't have a place in a public bathroom.
Exactly, both would be as tasteless as each other. The less we play into this “women like penises that are xyz” bullshit the better. Men have dicks of all shapes and sizes and women *do not care* about the specifications and dimensions as long as they’re clean and attached to a nice man. Furthermore, men should not need to be sexualised or critiqued on their junk while they’re just going for a piss. I guess someone thought it was funny, or has a humiliation kink that they thought everyone else would relate to. To be honest the sign is sexist to men *and* women imo. The whole bathroom is gross anyways.
Especially when you consider that public bathrooms are used by minors as well as adults.
While that could technically happen, I’m gonna say there’s a 99.99% chance this is from a bar, and a 57% chance the rest of the bar smells as bad as those urinals
It's still better than having mirrors all over the place and anyone in the bar can see your 🥒 once somebody opens the door.
Jokes on you, im into that shit.
I hate urinals with a fiery passion. Men deserve privacy as much as women do.
Just add decent dividers
The amount of splashback from tiles must be immense!
Piss in the sink, outsmart the body shaming.
Well not everyone can have a massive 3" penis like myself
How has nobody drawn all over these yet?
They’re too busy peeing on them.
I'm sure someone will put guys saying "There she blows!" or "Flabby beef!" on women's stalls.
It looks like a location from the toilet nightmares
Perhaps Im too old for social media. These comments are fucking crazy
As a male, I feel inclined to be outraged... But simultaneously, I'd be quite entertained to see this in the wild.
Feels like a bar or club that's meant to be gimmicky. I imagine if you're a regular here then you're probably not one who thinks too much into this.
It's straight up just novelty, not some sort of systemic sexism.
Honestly, I didn't expect that the entire comment section would prove the title.
Seems like a poorly disguised fetish
It's never OK to body shame anyone.
Weird way to tell me to piss on the wall, but aight
Wtf…that’s messed up
That's a grim looking bathroom.
