Setting Your Drink On the Top of a Urinal (1 Viewer)

[ClownCausedChaos2]

I was just in a public restroom and some guy had a styrofoam cup sitting on the urinal while he took a leak.

There was no lid on the cup. The top of the urinal was about shoulder-height. Behind up, probably 8 feet from the row of urinals was a spacious row of countertop and sinks.

I was curious what the thoughts of the FFA are. Would you put your cup there? Technically, there's really no way that pee could splash up that high, but the thought of having my drink that close to urination grosses me out. Especially when you could set it behind you on the counter.

i'm sure there is some pee mist making its way to the cup.. pee can move baby

That's the thought that I can't get out of my head.

I won't even take food or drink into a restroom, let alone set it down anywhere in there.

I set it in the sink....is that okay. At a ball game, I hold the cup with with my teeth. Not going to brisk spilling any of the 15 Coors light.

 

[johnnycakes]

Did he pee on his hands as well as in his cup?

All bathrooms should have a counter next to the outside wall.

I've seen people take entire shopping carts of paid groceries into the restroom at a supermarket.

If there's a bathroom attendant, is it ok to hand him the coffee while taking care of bidness?

I think you're thinking of something like this happening???

Hold the cup in your mouth, drop pants to ankles, pee.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Depends how drunk I am, by the 7th inning, probably bringing it along.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I've done it before when I was drunk but I wouldn't recommend it. I usually leave my drink on the sink counter or just outside of the bathroom all together.

 

[Jackstraw]

Door handle is probably much grosser.

 

[Guest]

Have done it at bars many times. Usually a can or bottle.

 

[whiskey7]

How bout the guys who take a call on the cell while pissing? I've seen it several times and never understood it once. Even if that call is telling you the best or worst news you could ever hear, cant it wait a minute or two while you finish up? SMH...

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

You have to take it in with you at a bar because you don't want to leave your drink unattended and you don't want to slam it. Cups you can't put in your pocket and bottles you can't hold in your mouth.

When you realize how many germs there are everyone it's difficult to worry about little things like this.

I can't do this with a bottle that has a cap on it. I either hold it or toss it.

 

[igbomb]

Almost as gross as people that brush their teeth while folks are doing their business in the stall.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Are any of you guys at the same training that I am? Maybe it was one of you. Maybe we had a moment and we don't even know it.

This reminds me of the pint sitting on the back of the toilet seat in a bar bathroom. You know it's brimming with piss and not beer. And of course it's fun to add to it.

 

[skol asylum]

My favorite is the guy who comes into the restroom yakking on his cell phone, takes a piss in the urinal while still talking, and walks out still talking without washing his hands.

 

[sports_fan]

I carry a water bottle around at work. To meetings, the cafeteria, etc. If I have to take a piss I don't have a problem taking it into the bathroom with me. I usually don't put it right on top of the urinal but I have on occasion. Doesn't seem like me a big deal to me.

 

[Fat Nick]

I've done it at a bar before...I find it odd at work though, and I'd never do it if there was an option to leave the drink anywhere else safe.

I'll add a different scenario. I went into the stall yesterday, left-most of 3 stalls. The guy in the stall 1 to the right of me (middle stall) had a styrofoam cup of water sitting on the floor. No lid, about 5" inboard from the divider. I found that to be really gross. The odds of something splashing when I flush are pretty high...Not saying it'd be old faithful, but I routinely wipe down the toilet seat from post-flush overspray before I sit down.

Personally, a capped water bottle seems far less of a big deal than an open cup. I don't even know why.

If I'm at a place where I have a table and people are there watching my stuff, I'll leave it. If it's SRO or I'm walking around and i need to piss while I have a drink:

Beer bottle : slip Into back pocket of jeans (if wearing jeans, which is the usual at a bar) and piss. If the place is extra funky, may be sure shirt is draped over mouth of bottle.
Cup : Bite rim to hold it and piss
Glass: Try to find counter space to set it away from toilets, but within sight

This is why you use a paper towel to open the door when exiting.

You guys do realize that the water you drink was at some point toilet water. I like to think that the H2O molecules in my Aquafina were once the urine of Jesus. And I was lucky enough to get the ones from the time he pee'd on Mary Magdalene.

[Wingnut]

I've seen a few bathrooms that have a small shelf above each urinal specifically for drinks.

Thoughts at eating a sandwich while pissing?

I get hungry in there

 

[mrip541]

Couple weeks ago I walked up to a bar urinal and there was a sizable pile of blow sitting on the top. Were you snorting stuff off of a public urinal? Gag.

How dare you. It's Lent, for Christ's sake!

Have not considered this, will add to my arsenal.

This seems reasonable.

All this is mental, unless you're talking setting a cup/bottle/glass down in actual urine. You think a cup that you're holding with your teeth is more immune to germs/bacteria than if it was sitting on a stationary object the same distance away?

 

[glumpy]

I think of what those public urinals smell like, and about the particulate matter floating in the air that causes the smell before falling into the open cup.

I eat my lunch on the crapper- too busy for anything else.

It's insanity. Unless you are stripping down and showering after every time you walk into a bathroom, and then putting on fresh clothes as you walk out, whatever is attaching to your bottle is attaching somewhere else on you.

Oh, thank god I was able to cover my beer bottle with the tail of my cotton shirt! Surely that same shirt with its thin, breathable blend of fabric didn't have any potential germs cling to it from that bar stool I've been sitting on and farting into for the past two hours.

I like to think of it as an example of perpetual motion.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

Go ahead put your cup on the sink counter where you can't keep an eye on it...I'm sure nobody will #### with it.

It's a mental thing, dude. I just need to feel better about my beer not being near human waste. In the back of my mind, yeah, I know you're right.
