I realize this is a silly question but I am going to ask it anyway. I new male roommate just moved in and he urinates sitting down. What’s the point? What the advantages versus just standing there and peeing? Am I missing something? Thanks for entertaining my inane curiosity.

Plan9Senior · 08-24-2003, 08:24 PM

Maybe he has terrible aim?

Rodney · 08-24-2003, 08:44 PM

I guess aim could be an issue, except that nearly anybody can hit the bowl cleanly with the seat up. Unless he's _really tall_ or something.

Most likely he just likes to chill out in the john. Does he come right out, or stay in there a while? If the latter, he's just takin' the opportunity to chill. Bathroom meditation: it's a grand old tradition.

seizei · 08-24-2003, 10:17 PM

maybe he grew up with a mother and a few sisters, and never saw a man peeing standing up.

Splice · 08-24-2003, 11:36 PM

Hey I pee sitting down too. It started b/c me and my other roommates were too lazy to clean the toilet. So we figure that peeing sitting down would not stain the rim. We were right. the toilet remained clean for a long time. I guess I just do it out of habit now, but I don't have to clean my toilet nearly as often. Of course in public places, then I would never peeing sitting down because it's dirty. Only if I have to use #2.

hfw01 · 08-25-2003, 07:48 AM

Sitting down is great in the middle of night when you don't want to have to wake up too much. No aiming necessary...

BigDonkey2 · 08-25-2003, 11:29 AM

sitting down can be relaxing sometimes....sometimes i just like to sit on the pot and think....thats where some of my best thoughts come from

Jim Kata · 08-25-2003, 12:17 PM

Alright this is gonna be sort of gross but sometimes after taking a leak standing up, I get that one last hidden drop that comes out and just sort of drips down and can sometims land on the floor on the rim of the toilet seat or even on (yes) me.
When I piss sitting down, no extra drop of piss. Maybe your new room mate has the same problem.

a1t3r3g0 · 08-25-2003, 02:09 PM

Also if you drink a lot of water like I do, and wake up having to piss really bad but you're still only half awake, sitting down can have it's advantage. But now that I'm sharing a bathroom, I only sit when I take a #2.

gonadman · 08-25-2003, 06:21 PM

some guys have a meatal orifice(pee hole) not quite in the center, or strictures within the penis that cause the piss to shoot out at an angle. Hitting the toilet without a mess is damn near impossible and sitting might be the only way to avoid the splatter.

coke babies · 08-25-2003, 07:18 PM

i sit down to pee at home, its a nice minute break, i'll take sitting vs standing any time.

almostaugust · 08-25-2003, 09:29 PM

It sounds weird, but i really love peeing outside. There is just something way more liberating about not really having to aim or anything. I reckon i would pee outside at least 5 times a week- only at night time.

peacy · 08-26-2003, 05:34 AM

I sit down too...
Because I'm lazy

and there's no chace to miss the bowl (no matter how sleepy, how drunk...)

Ah Yes! I. P. Freely.

I love pissing outside. Especially during the fall because of the steam that comes up. Okay, I'm weird, but that doesn't make me a bad person.
There is a radio personality, Don Geronimo (Don and Mike Show) that has a patch of dead grass off of his deck in his lawn. It is dead because he chooses to pee outside whenever possible, in the same spot.

Plan9Senior · 08-26-2003, 11:54 AM

I concur. Peeing outside is way underrated. Not only is it fun to do, but I am doing my part in conserving water

gonadman · 08-27-2003, 08:10 PM

OK- Longest word ever written in the snow??

seizei · 09-01-2003, 12:26 PM

when I was a kid, me and a few buddies wrote "please do not piss on the snow" in the snow with pee

along a main street at night... looked great next day in the sunlight

dannoxxxx · 09-01-2003, 02:31 PM

are you sure he is a guy?

Anyway, yeah, not sure what the reason is, unless he always feels he might need to take care of number 2.

Or he is afraid you may come in and see his penis cause it is small or he may think you are gay! lol.
