German court rules that men can urinate while standing

[Anto]

Really Hmmmmmm


A court in Germany has ruled in favour of a man's right to urinate while standing up after his landlord demanded money for damage to the bathroom floor.
The landlord, who was seeking €1,900 (£1400; $2,200), claimed the marble floor had been damaged by urine.

But the Duesseldorf judge ruled that the man's method was within cultural norms, saying "urinating standing up is still common practice".
There is some debate in Germany about whether men should sit or stand to pee.

Some toilets have red traffic-style signs forbidding the standing position - but those who choose to sit are often referred to as a "Sitzpinkler", implying it is not masculine behaviour.
Judge Stefan Hank agreed with an expert's report that uric acid had caused some damage to the bathroom's floor.

But concluding, he said men who insist on standing "must expect occasional rows with housemates, especially women" but cannot be held to account for collateral damage.

"Despite growing domestication of men in this matter, urinating while standing up is still common practice," he added.

What about standing on your hands?

Only women should sit to pee, anto, and that includes persons with male genitalia. It's just a shame that a lot of men piss like Shaquille O'Neal shot free throws.

Cleaning up the floor and wiping the rim with toilet paper after using facilities in a private residence is just good manners. In a public toilet, I'd sure as hell prefer to get a bit of urine on the soles of my shoes, than sit on a seat, still warm from someone else' bum.

I wouldn't want to sit while peeing, because I don't like having my dick touch the toilet water. It's bad enough when that happens when I'm taking a dump, but only homeless men shit standing up.

No man should ever need to shit in a public washroom. He should have sufficient control to hold his load, until he's home, at his hotel, or at a private residence. That's a big reason why a man should maintain the integrity of his anal sphincter.

If it excites him to have his anus stretched, he should just eat a lot of meat and/ or nuts, refrain from eating vegetables or other roughage, and neglect to drink water. A few days later, his anus will be stretched, but in a southern direction.

Some university fraternities have their pledges eat only Slim Jims and/ or beef jerky for a day, while drinking only beer, to impart this lesson on prospective candidates. It's one of the few hazing rituals still permitted under the "zero tolerance policies" now in place, at most institutes of higher learning today.

This is one of the reasons why beef jerky sales are always highest in September, which also coincides with the baseball pennant races, the start of the football season, and the end of the Cricket season, in England. Beef jerky tastes great, but a price is paid later, for having eaten it, just like with the yellow hot sauce from Barbados. I doubt many sitzpinklers have the intestinal fortitude to liberally apply yellow Barbados hot sauce to a steak or burger.

Sitzpinkler is defined at urbandictionary.com as "someone who sits and urinates; a "Sitzpinkler", is equivalent to wimp, wuss or pussy.", per pony_trekker, August 20, 2004. There's no need for an alternative definition.

pony trekker has a few other definitions I liked:

"Big fat fucking titties."

"The empty car on a packed rush hour NYC subway train that is empty for a reason: the sweet smell of impacted fecal matter sitting in urine-drenched unwashed clothes with sweet ripe cheesy feet of the homeless person sitting in the corner."

"A way of ignoring someone in a severely condescending manner. "

It's good to see that a German court has asserted that a man has a right to pee standing. I've always seen that as a privilege and a responsibility. A man should always pee standing, because he can.

No man should need to be taught that; he should learn it on his own, as a child, by observing other men, while waiting in line to use the urinals at a sporting event. Aiming his urine stream is learned through practice; no man or boy should ever learn that from observing other men, or from 'hands on' instruction, from another man or boy.

I know that you already know this, anto; I post this tutorial for the benefit of the sitzpinklers reading over your shoulder, who don't know this stuff, through common sense.

I hope other countries also confirm this right to pee standing, by legal decision. In countries where this behavior is deemed illegal, however, I'd imagine that, if convicted, the perpetrator would be treated with respect in jail or prison. The long term inmates would probably have a different welcoming ritual for a sitzpinkler.

More urinal etiquette, for those who attended school more recently:

I took pics of unique restrooms and outhouses that I found all over BC and the Yukon. This sign is from a trucker's rest stop on the Connector just east of Merritt. There are a lot of EI truckers whose cultural preference is to squat above the toilet with their feet on the seat. I guess here in BC, the road maintenance crews prefer that men sit.

I hope Anto doesn't mind if I post a poster I made with my pics of outhouses. You'll notice that my custom carved walking stick is in most of the images. That's my way of proving I was there.
