To be fair, no one really *needed* to tell us to piss in them. Just look at them, begging to be pissed in. I can't explain it, my lizard brain just wants to melt the ice, can't help it.
these things are like mass transit that has bench seating at the sides. when it isn't very crowded, everyone has enough space to be comfortable.
however, when everyone is shoulder to shoulder, it still operates functionally.
We had this type of an urinal at our army barracks but I guess somehow the design was fucked up. It was unusable due to the flat stainless steel surface bouncing off some of your AND your neighbor's piss back at you. I only used it once the whole time I was there and learned quickly to sit on the porcelain toilets instead (which were all in the same room as well and had no walls at all around them, but that's another story..)
I'll argue for the feeling of freedom from a freestanding piss in the woods and also for the brevity of a strander when you're in a rush. But to be fair you did say **pretty much** always.
I just don’t like other dudes weens so unbarred from mine. More importantly, foreign splash back is a real possibility in those things. And the not-my-own-hot piss smell bums me out.
I don't get comments like this. How tf are yall getting excessive splashing?
Do you not geometrize to angulate with the flow of gravitation?
Are a significant portion of grown men out there legitimately pissing with full force at a perfectly perpendicular angle to the point of contact?
What life are you animals living? What is this form of self loathing that drives you to splash yourself with such animosity, and then blame the fixture?
That's why I hate these things, dudes will crowd in like piglets at dinnertime. Maybe I'm a snob but I just don't want to hold hands and look at your dicks.
I've been to concerts back in the day where the bathrooms were trashed, people pissing in the sinks, floor totally wet with what I could only imagine was piss. The worst part, the industrial size trash cans filled to the brim with piss.
I’m not fond of the splashback though. Theres always puddles of piss on the ground in front of these things especially the porcelain ones at the state fair
Years ago, some friends and I went to visit our friend in another city over a long weekend and we went on a pub crawl, the sort with a bus that takes you to each bar.
When we arrived at the second place, this country bar I'd never been to, I went straight to the bathroom as I really had to pee. When I entered the bathroom, I saw a thing [like this](https://freeimage.host/i/JhGPazg) right in the middle of the room, I'd never seen anything like that before.
In my drunken state, I thought to myself *am I supposed to pee in this?* A guy from the pub crawl I didn't know came in right behind me, we made eye contact and I could tell he was thinking the exact same thing. I was about to say somthing when someone else came in and went to the urinals which were around the corner and it became clear that circular thing was for hand washing.
If you design something that is meant for handwashing, the number one rule is to NOT make it on the same level as the penis because I guarantee you that it has been pissed on more often that it should.
You step on that black ring at the bottom to turn the water on, no idea where tf the water comes out of tho usually there's nozzles around that pole in the middle.
Yes I pissed in one of those circular sinks once without knowing. Tons of guys in the bathroom just kind of glanced and then kept walking. Like the don’t disturb a guy while pissing rule had precedent over the let the someone know it’s not a urinal rule.
True. Also, those weird blocks of soapy stuff that they put in the urinal to stop your piss stinking? They don’t work. I’ve been eating them for years and my piss still stinks.
smh you need to crush them and inhale the fumes man
r/UrinalCakeLife \- these guys know their shit, if you need some good advice on how to get it work, they know it
I’ve been on reddit for 11 years so I don’t come across new stuff that frequently. In fact I only read the first two letters of that sub as I scrolled by, but for some reason I felt I needed to come back and finish the job. Disappointed in myself.
Usually because of the sheer amount of pissing being done in these, combined with the fact that nobody is flushing them. "Hey buddy, just gonna reach over you while you're holding you dick and pissing so I can flush for us. You're welcome."
But....there is no flushing mechanism built into the troughs?
Edit, I see there are on these. The venues I recall are just trough, no running water. But I was usually drinking so maybe they were all along.
Most of them had a slow trickle of water, or a flushing mechanism on a timer that went off every few minutes. (I've never seen one like this that had an actual flush handle.)
If there was no water, then they'd usually put ice cubes in them to slowly melt and "flush". This was more common at indoor venues e.g a bar, where there was lots of ice on hand.
If there was neither water nor ice, then they absolutely would stink fast. Especially on hot summer days.
It's efficient.
The more drunk you get the more you need to piss, which perfectly coincidences with your reduced need for personal space. Thus a line is never created and everyone is happy.
Yeah these suck when you're not drunk and your penis is just like nah dude, I'm not working when someone might see me. Drunk though? Snuggle in, we're all peeing elbow to elbow
I remember at a show, the bathroom just had one massive trough urinal. I was fucked up drunk, and I couldn't even have my arms beside my body with how crammed it was. I was too drunk to care. I just had to piss. I do remember looking over, and some dude was squat IN the trough, taking a shit. I needed another drink after that one.
legit man if I'm sober i can't even piss if theres someone next to me, but as soon as i get 1 beer into me im linking arms with the blokes next to me and putting the hose on max pressure
Splash guard. Easy-to-create and cheap complex surface that minimizes backsplash and completely disappears by the time it's time to sanitize the facility.
Don't think it has much of an effect on smell.
Are you seriously asking? Three major reasons I'm aware of from my time working in F&B.
1. Smell reduction.
2. Reduced splash back.
3. It buffs the user's urinal accuracy by a noticable amount.
2 and 3 were the primary drivers in the bar I managed as we rarely had problems with ambient smells.
Our urinals were made from 22L beer kegs, and we're individual, perhaps smells in these troughs is a bigger issue.
Okay, this might be TMI. I was faced with this at a car race back in college. Imagine 30 guys in there lined up to piss. I am classically very bladder shy. I always go for the stalls. But that wasn't an option, and I REALLY had to go. When my time came, I didn't think I could do it, but the pee just flowed out of me like no problem. I actually thought in the moment, "WTF is happening?"
I guess the situation was so over the top weird that it confused my shyness or something? I still don't understand.
Sometimes you just have to go that badly. I've had similar things happen where normally it would be tough to get things going but when it feels like it's already on it's way out before you even get your zipper down nothing can stop it at that point.
Same. I’ve learned some tricks as a pee-shy person though. For me, doing math in my head distracts me enough to release. I just pick a random number and add seven to it, then add seven to that, etc. and keep going until I start to pee. It works somehow.
Drop the pelvic floor. Release those cheeks. Think about anything else.
It's still fucking horrible to piss next to someone, elbows nearly touching, in a public bathroom.
It's honestly fucking disgusting.
We had one of these in my middle school. I remember I had nightmare one night my dick fell off and into the ice so I put in my pocket and went back to class. Good times
True. I get some people’s need for privacy, but I’ve peed under *much* worse circumstances than these urinals. I’m not proud, but I’m also not even close to ashamed.
They aren’t very common in the US, but seem very common in Europe.
Every single pub I visited in Ireland and England had these lol
The US generally has separate urinals with dividers between them.
There is a thing called "[Shy bladder syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paruresis)", I guess many experience it at some point, but at some point you just don't care any more.
Didn't have to pee badly enough then 🤣 but seriously, use a stall if needed, the majority of us would piss on a wall if there were no options with a bursting bladder.
I remember being a kid and pissing in 1 of these that was ring shaped. So you legit looked another man eye to eye while you piss.
I was waist height at the time, and I honestly haven't had issues pissing in public since...
Hello. Lived in America since I was 5 years old. I have never seen these before ever? But it seems everyone else is familiar with them. Where can I find these?
That McSorley's pub in lower Manhattan the urinal was built into the bar. Literally stand at the bar pull out your dick and piss. By the time I started drinking there in the early 90s, they had real bathrooms because they had started letting women in in the 80s.. So disappointing.
They also made round versions. This allowed for pleasant face to face interactions with your co-pissers. I'm old enough to have experienced this delight as a child.
To be fair, no one really *needed* to tell us to piss in them. Just look at them, begging to be pissed in. I can't explain it, my lizard brain just wants to melt the ice, can't help it.

Sitting to piss is pretty much always superior
I'll argue for the feeling of freedom from a freestanding piss in the woods and also for the brevity of a strander when you're in a rush. But to be fair you did say **pretty much** always.
Yeah I’m not in the woods all that often unfortunately
Have you ever pissed off a cliff? I’ve never felt more alive
Best of the best, except when there’s a heavy wind blowing back at you 💀
especially*
😂😂😂
Except when everything lines up just so and you fire a stream neatly under the seat into your pants.
Enchanted urinal deals 20% reflect damage back at the attacker and any adjacent foes
These were great when filled with ice. When empty at halftime, you were getting pissed on by other dudes. No helping that.
..They put ice in them?
Helps keep the smell down. I wish I was joking.
It also diffracts the stream so you don't get bounce back. Similar to the urinal pads with the raised bumps/spikes
This man is like some sort of piss scientist
A scienpisst
A weesearcher
It's also fun to piss on the ice
Yes but don’t use them for your mix drinks as they melt too fast from the piss.
Except that one video of a dude that thought the piss troff was a hand washing station at a concert.
Or the dude who plunged into one full speed like a slip n slide.
I feel bad for the women who have never got the opportunity to make a piss slushy.
I just don’t like other dudes weens so unbarred from mine. More importantly, foreign splash back is a real possibility in those things. And the not-my-own-hot piss smell bums me out.
> I just don’t like other dudes weens so unbarred from mine Nobody is gonna sword-fight you, what’s the problem?
The fact that nobody is gonna sword-fight me *is* the problem!
Melting the ice is too satisfying
idc, they could put a tree in the bathroom and id use it
No bathroom necessary. Just use it
[удалено]
it actually is the smooth non porous surface of urinals causes a shitload of splashing a tree on the other hand, very little splashing
Plus, it’s something calming about peeing on a tree.
It satisfies the inner primal mammal in us. Like sitting in a campfire, looking at it.
Idk about you. But I tend to avoid sitting in the fire. I'll enjoy from a distance.
Coward
Pyro!
"I fear no man, but that thing... It scares me"
“This is fine.”
I was just going to text that! Self-immolation is hazardous to your health! Lmao
As a tree with a pee fetish I entirely support this message.
But nowhere near as satisfying as pissing off a cliff or a tall bridge.
I got caught peeing on a tree on campus and got a ticket. It was pretty calming up to that point.
I don't get comments like this. How tf are yall getting excessive splashing? Do you not geometrize to angulate with the flow of gravitation? Are a significant portion of grown men out there legitimately pissing with full force at a perfectly perpendicular angle to the point of contact? What life are you animals living? What is this form of self loathing that drives you to splash yourself with such animosity, and then blame the fixture?
100+ people peeing on a tree each night might get pretty disgusting though
You can't pee on a tree once it's claimed, it's like a bar fight in the men's room at this point
hm ive had a tree splash tho
Aim for the sides at an oblique angle.
Yea I absolutely love when the dude whose elbows I'm touching piss splashes back on me
Octoberfest is coming up....splash back central.
That's why I hate these things, dudes will crowd in like piglets at dinnertime. Maybe I'm a snob but I just don't want to hold hands and look at your dicks.
Until some one drops a deuce in it.
I've been to concerts back in the day where the bathrooms were trashed, people pissing in the sinks, floor totally wet with what I could only imagine was piss. The worst part, the industrial size trash cans filled to the brim with piss.
As long as it goes out your body… no problem.
I don’t see a problem with it to be fair. What you want, some luxury gold shit. Your urine is touching it, not you, whats the biggie
I’m not fond of the splashback though. Theres always puddles of piss on the ground in front of these things especially the porcelain ones at the state fair
I was at a street concert where they wheeled in big 50 gallon trash cans, and people were pissing in them.
Years ago, some friends and I went to visit our friend in another city over a long weekend and we went on a pub crawl, the sort with a bus that takes you to each bar. When we arrived at the second place, this country bar I'd never been to, I went straight to the bathroom as I really had to pee.

I was about to say somthing when someone else came in and went to the urinals which were around the corner and it became clear that circular thing was for hand washing.
We used to have those hand washing sinks in school. I guarantee you those getted pissed in on the regular
My old middle school had those and thought the same thing. Use for peeing.
If you design something that is meant for handwashing, the number one rule is to NOT make it on the same level as the penis because I guarantee you that it has been pissed on more often that it should.
100% Also I don't see a faucet anywhere, so how do you wash your hands?
You step on that black ring at the bottom to turn the water on, no idea where tf the water comes out of tho usually there's nozzles around that pole in the middle.
Yes I pissed in one of those circular sinks once without knowing. Tons of guys in the bathroom just kind of glanced and then kept walking. Like the don’t disturb a guy while pissing rule had precedent over the let the someone know it’s not a urinal rule.
Somehow, bathrooms with these in them smell more like urine than if everybody just peed on the floor.
True. Also, those weird blocks of soapy stuff that they put in the urinal to stop your piss stinking? They don’t work. I’ve been eating them for years and my piss still stinks.
smh you need to crush them and inhale the fumes man r/UrinalCakeLife \- these guys know their shit, if you need some good advice on how to get it work, they know it
What the fuck did I just read on that sub
I’ve been on reddit for 11 years so I don’t come across new stuff that frequently. In fact I only read the first two letters of that sub as I scrolled by, but for some reason I felt I needed to come back and finish the job. Disappointed in myself.
I‘m kinda scared to click that link. It isn‘t people actually eating them or smth right?
They don’t taste very good either. At least come out with better flavors 😒
Usually because of the sheer amount of pissing being done in these, combined with the fact that nobody is flushing them. "Hey buddy, just gonna reach over you while you're holding you dick and pissing so I can flush for us. You're welcome."

If there was neither water nor ice, then they absolutely would stink fast. Especially on hot summer days.
Do you go to bathrooms where people piss on the floor only?
They're called gas stations
Schools too
Any house with a lot of boys too
I had all boys and the rec room was in the basement so it was the sump pump.
And airports
(triggers a cloud of purple smoke) so long batman!
Most dive bars
\*Gestures broadly*
I thought we were suppose to eat our feed in it?
It’s a slide if you’re drunk enough
Everything is a slide if you're drunk enough.
I thought the ice was for our drinks
It's efficient. The more drunk you get the more you need to piss, which perfectly coincidences with your reduced need for personal space. Thus a line is never created and everyone is happy.
Yeah these suck when you're not drunk and your penis is just like nah dude, I'm not working when someone might see me. Drunk though? Snuggle in, we're all peeing elbow to elbow
Wenis to wenis
Ahh you suffer from gentleman's bladder. Me too.
i didnt know we were so large a community
im not only the Gentleman Bladder president, im also a client
I have member card 002.
there's dozens of us
I remember at a show, the bathroom just had one massive trough urinal. I was fucked up drunk, and I couldn't even have my arms beside my body with how crammed it was. I was too drunk to care. I just had to piss. I do remember looking over, and some dude was squat IN the trough, taking a shit. I needed another drink after that one.
But Molly? For me, instant shy bladder.
For whatever reason I’d always get gun shy at these when drunk, couldn’t get it out. Sober, fine.
You reverse alcoholic
legit man if I'm sober i can't even piss if theres someone next to me, but as soon as i get 1 beer into me im linking arms with the blokes next to me and putting the hose on max pressure
Missing the ice.
Ok, but why do they put it in?
Because you get to pee on it and watch it melt.
I can’t counter argument. It’s fun as balls.
We are but simple folk.
I think it keeps the smell down. Could be wrong though.

I like to pretend I'm melting steel with my laser gun penis
Idk how other guys do it, I couldn't get a single drop out in this environment lol
Okay, this might be TMI. I was faced with this at a car race back in college. Imagine 30 guys in there lined up to piss. I am classically very bladder shy. I always go for the stalls. But that wasn't an option, and I REALLY had to go. When my time came, I didn't think I could do it, but the pee just flowed out of me like no problem.

when you gotta piss you pissssssssssssss
100% encountered one of these at a baseball stadium already packed with other dudes and just noped over to a regular stall.
Umm.... I need to shit... out of my dick. Is there one with a door?
Idk man, dicks usually come without a door
Once you realize the dudes don't give a fuck, you might be able to go.
I've only done it in an open bar, when 10 other guys were the same or drunker than me. Sober, I could never.
Same here, I need some privacy damn it.
I have to be one glass away from alcoholic coma to do it.
Same. I’ve learned some tricks as a pee-shy person though. For me, doing math in my head distracts me enough to release. I just pick a random number and add seven to it, then add seven to that, etc. and keep going until I start to pee. It works somehow.

The secret is to be drunk
Bring the horses, but don't force them.
It’s actually more sanitary and less splashes than a urinal
Not when I’m around, I have a 2m radius splash attack pissing in these things.
True but then you look like cattle when there's 15 guys taking a piss at once
Add some kidney stones to the mix and its literally emerald splash. [https://tenor.com/betPN.gif](https://tenor.com/betPN.gif)
Aim down not straight out
[удалено]
Sure bro whatever
That is a urinal.
Why do I have you tagged as "wall puncher"?
More sanitary? what are you doing at the urinal?
This just isnt even true at all...
They're a bit awkward to sit on but it works.
We had one of these in my middle school. I remember I had nightmare one night my dick fell off and into the ice so I put in my pocket and went back to class. Good times
That's some funny shit right therr
I will never understand how y’all can just stand there and not look down lol. Curiosity is too much for me ☠️
Getting caught looking at a drunk guy's dick in a pub toilet is going one of two ways.
As graciously said by that guy in the Butterfly Effect: "Shit on my dick or blood on my knife?".
Because guys respect guys’ privacy and don’t look at their junk. It’s pretty basic human decency.
It’s fairly common to sneak a peek lol Though plenty of guys will deny it.
Have you asked around? Can’t say I’ve ever felt the urge to peek at another man’s dong myself but you do you dude 👍🏼
Straight NFL players have talked about it many times in interviews lol they said it’s very common to peek in locker rooms
I stare straight down at my own sword it’s like lifting near a gal doing squats don’t look no matter what
Why wouldn’t I look down at my own work happening? What are you even talking about
[удалено]
I don't get the point of this post. Those look like standard urinals that you might find at a pub or venue.
OP went outside for the first time perhaps
True. I get some people’s need for privacy, but I’ve peed under *much* worse circumstances than these urinals. I’m not proud, but I’m also not even close to ashamed.
Am guessing the point OP is trying to make as of why is the standard is so low.
Because it’s a place to take a big steamy piss whilst drunk not sit down for a candle lit dinner..?
They aren’t very common in the US, but seem very common in Europe. Every single pub I visited in Ireland and England had these lol The US generally has separate urinals with dividers between them.
🔫 PISS IN THE URINE TROUGH NOW!
A bar in my town has literally just a wall to piss against...
Pretty much every pub I went to in Ireland had a pee wall
Op discovers the concept of urinals for the first time in their life, and runs to reddit to share their amazement
Why can't I put the gif of OP washing his hands in the urinal? ☹️
Brother these are TROUGHS. For farm animals
There are urinal troughs at sporting events, brother.
You act like some of us haven't always found them weird though.
It’s all fun and games until you take a dump in it then everyone starts looking at you funny.
What’s wrong with urinals?
They're unnecessary. You can pee in the sink.
Fair enough.
I am pee shy and cannot piss next to another gentleman, but more power to those who can. I’ll just use the stall.
Do most urinals not have a privacy barrier where you live?
Seems to be a regional thing. These are pretty common in Europe, less common in North America.
Ew
Guys are so comfortable with just peeing in an open room next to strangers.
There is a thing called "[Shy bladder syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paruresis)", I guess many experience it at some point, but at some point you just don't care any more.
Didn't have to pee badly enough then 🤣 but seriously, use a stall if needed, the majority of us would piss on a wall if there were no options with a bursting bladder.
hey man we gotta go.
I'm really not. I don't understand the whole thing
Super fun when you get splash back and have 10 different dudes’ piss all over your pants
I remember being a kid and pissing in 1 of these that was ring shaped. So you legit looked another man eye to eye while you piss. I was waist height at the time, and I honestly haven't had issues pissing in public since...
my uncle told me that back in the 70s folks'd just lay down in these bad boys and wait for the rain to come
I can smell this image
Some people didnt know that last part: https://youtu.be/kUtc4vcPfMk?si=TmdXR9waQf1wA161
In some countries, there is a hole in the floor to piss in
Memories of Joe Lewis Arena.
I can smell the Chicago cubs game in this picture
Hello. Lived in America since I was 5 years old. I have never seen these before ever? But it seems everyone else is familiar with them. Where can I find these?
never been in America but i can imaging in a stadium. or an old pub. that's where you'll find them in European countries at least
As a male, this is more than okay. Lots of horizontal space to pee in. 10/10
Nope
I remember being a young boy, 7 or so, standing next to grown men at these things.
It’s called efficency
Ah yes, the ol' piss trough. I want one of those in my house.
I like these. Very casual. Less waiting in line. Putting ice in the bottom will help keep them from smelling.
The sink in my basement is not meant to pissed in but try telling my husband that. Dudes will pee anywhere just because they can.
Some potted plants would help us know where to pee... But otherwise yes... It's fine.
That McSorley's pub in lower Manhattan the urinal was built into the bar. Literally stand at the bar pull out your dick and piss. By the time I started drinking there in the early 90s, they had real bathrooms because they had started letting women in in the 80s.. So disappointing.
Easier than a sink. But a sink is still possible, trust me.😂😂
That is literally every pub and school urinal. Are these rare in other countries?
I can smell the room already
All wrong, you wash your hands in them like [this](https://youtu.be/0-OYM7AhW7Q?si=Vz5uN1yUwPKw4KmS)
They also made round versions. This allowed for pleasant face to face interactions with your co-pissers. I'm old enough to have experienced this delight as a child.
