I asked the same question above, seems no one wants to venture an answer though!! I'm amazed that they can miss and make such big puddles, they are almost inside the urinal!!

Dean 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have seen in quite a few places in Japan the urinals that have a red target right in the spot where there will be no splashback or leakage. Im sure I have seen some at the rest stops on the highways. On that. Gees I miss the toilets where you dont actually have to touch any of the fixtures and all the soap and water have sensors on it!

Mantas 3 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Men were never meant to pee iin a toilet or urinal. On the other hand it's hard to imagine what it would kind of place it would be if 10 million men in tokyo peed on the garden/fence/wall/car/lampost/tree/each other. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 An interesting discussion! I think I'll just make it a habit of not visiting mens loos! Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 too close to the urinal = splashback problems. Its a tough world we live in. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've see Japanese urinals with "take one step closer" written above them. Urrghh! No thanks! The first old house you come to Hida no Sato museum in Takayama has a urinal outside the front door. Ah, the good old days! Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have used to have right next to my genkan in my old house in matsumoto that was built in 1945. It was weird having a urinal in your house, a bitch to clean as well. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Funny topic. Living with 5 boys/men I promise you that none of the male species can aim reliably. But I also had to use a mens loo recently. On the sleeper train from Paris to Milan. (same trip my laptop got trashed) Some woman had locked herself in the womans loo for HOURS....clearly she was not well - the sounds were nasty. However the rest of us needed to go at some stage too, so we took turns in the gents .....I suppose there was the excuse of of moving train to blame the puddles on but it was pretty nasty!

bobby12 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Any visitor to India would have experienced a 'drive by crapping'. On a cross country bus trip, you pass a rural school or building site, and about 50 people are lined up on the road taking a synchronised dump during the allotted 5 mins break.

thursday 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Platform barriers on the subway were put up a few years ago to prevent people falling/being pushed/jumping onto the line. Before this, there was this visitor from India who jumped onto the line at Causeway Bay and started running. He caused chaos during rush hour cos all the trains had to stop. When apprehended, he was asked why he did it. Apparently, he had just missed a train and was running down the tunnel to catch it, 'cos back home, if he missed one, he'd have to wait 2 days for the next. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Often wondered that too. Perhaps its just lack of real thinking/planning. Link to post Share on other sites
