What's normal: Do you use your phone while standing at a urinal? (1 Viewer)

[culdeus]

Seeing this trend taking off. Thoughts?

 

[shuke]

Weird.

 

[El Floppo]

Only to record my neighbor

 

[ChiefD]

Yeah. Only for my own magnificent dong.

 

[shuke]

Although, I almost pulled mine out this week to take a photo. We got a new fancy color changing urinal pad at work. Seems to be heat activated. Exciting trips to the bathroom.

Those new drug tests are really taking off.

 

[Parrothead]

i pee like I was taught to catch pop ups.. "TWO HANDS!"

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Someone here had a story about those circular urinals old stadiums had, where you had to pee in a group. I guess in the middle of a call some guy dropped his phone into it and the guys around him started "pointing" right at it before he could retrieve it. Imagine being on the other end of that call.

 

[Yambag]

I see this occasionally at work and quite frankly am appalled. If you can't be without your phone while taking a piss, you have some serious issues.

 

[FarFromHome]

No way I would use my phone while standing at urinal. Thats usually vape time to ensure I get all the pee out.

Definitely phone worthy moment. Make it happen captain.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Never! It's too likely I would drop it in there.

 

[Hastur]

BTW, do you use shampoo or a regular bar of soap to clean your armpits?

 

[-OZ-]

phones were meant for sitting.

 

[Moe.]

what could be so urgent?

 

[titusbramble]

Wtf no of course not

 

[Major]

Only when FaceTiming

 

[AAABatteries]

I voted never because that’s essentially my accurate answer but I can remember once having to do it but don’t remember the circumstances that made me do it. Think it had to do with a sick kid and the school calling.

Holy cow totally forgot about those. LOL, who even came up with those things? Moreover, the salesmen! The few, the proud, that pulled it off. Talk about the ice to an eskimo thing.

Their top salesmen/women? must've been something else.

 

[El Floppo]

Just did...and it was GLORIOUS

 

[Ilov80s]

Usually no, but I certainly have before. Usually a situation where say I am out to dinner and being polite not looking at my phone but when I got to the bathroom I see a text that needs immediate attention, I might respond while at the urinal.

I have notifications turned off, so the bathroom is often the only place I check my phone- whether at work, out, or just at a buddy's house.

Voted yes

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Crazy to think Romans and other cultures had an entire business around saving the piss and selling it for washing/dying clothing, amonia, and fertilizer. There were jars on the street to piss into.

I don't think I have ever seen a circular urinal but I do remember the troughs. Essentially a stainless still trough that 10 or so can stand shoulder to shoulder and urinate.

They had these at the Forum in LA. I was at one of the early Kings vs Quacks games when the Quacks first entered the league. Typically the urinal line went pretty quick with the trough as you could get a lot of people in and out of those things but this time there was a line out the door. It was really confusing as this never happened. Once I got to the front of the line I realized why. Someone had put a Quacks shirt in the urinal and everyone was lined up to take a piss on it. Good times.


ETA: I voted never.

 

[Scoresman]

I imagine its the same people who also usually pee at the urinal "hands free" with their hands on their hip. I don't even want to talk to you if you do this.

Weird you like pee all over your hands.

Lol, if you cant hold your *ahem* without peeing on it, I probably also dont want to talk to you. But you should probably use a sit down toilet.

I miss troughs so much.

Recently learned of Delaware Stadium's Piss Wall, which seems pretty awesome.
I haven't had the pleasure of testing it out, but it looks like the same general idea as the trough, but you just skip the trough and let it fly right into a floor drain.

We'd all be better off with more troughs and piss walls. We have so many things dividing us right now. Taking a piss should be a communal experience again.

As such, no phones of course. That time should be reserved for laughing with another fella about how much the Cowboys suck, or if it warrants, complimenting him on his hog.

I’ve seen someone with their pants around their ankles, hands planted way high on the urinal wall, and perpetually grunting. I only needed a glance to know enough to back away and only share the story at the appropriate time which apparently is now.

 

[The Kerminator]

I'm standing at the urinal as I post this

 

[DA RAIDERS]

We had a semi circular trough at my high school.

Can’t imagine that would fly now.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Aside from being disgustingly unhygienic, this seems like a really good way to unwittingly piss someone off.

I think U of Wyoming still has the long troughs in the stadium bathrooms. Two-sided so extreme caution is mandated.

Tonight @ 9 I'll be doing an AMA while standing at the urinal
