spook 0 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 OK. I consider myself a hygienic and toilet trained fellow, but one thing I have never understood is urinals in Japan. Men here seem to practically crawl into them when they pee. Seriously, they are almost inside the urinal. I find it bizarre. I like to stand back slightly and wee. And I don't dribble all over the floor either, that's what that little jutting out bit of the urinal is for. Does anyone else thing the way Japanese men use urinals is slightly weird?

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Not about using them but I find it really strange how you can see right into some mens toilets and basically see people doing the business. Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone else thing the way Japanese men use urinals is slightly weird? yes!! they stand unnaturally close to the bowl and also managed to pee half of their load onto the floor!! WTF is that all about??!! I find that weird as well BoC....mens toilets are often pretty much open for public viewing!! Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 At least public toilets here are often, in my opinion, in a better state than back home. Link to post Share on other sites

ausi ski bum 1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 My son was 17 when we first went to Japan and he almost died when mid stream a little old lady mopped around his feet, I suggested she didn't actually work there. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yeah, when I went back to Japan after living in England I thought that... standing very close. Almost perverse trying to hide it Hey, do anyone reckon them bowls are set too high up in Holland? You know, the Dutch guys are pretty tall and have long legs. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 i can't comment about holland, but in indonesia men and urinals are the same. they like to get inside them. weird. especially as it is such a dirty country and personal hygiene is so so poor. maybe you need to use the kiddy urinals in holland jynxx? for some reason whenever i use one of the really low urinals i struggle with it. it should essentially be exactly the same thing, but the lower height throws me off Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 One thing I have "seen" in Japan that freaks that life out of me - people pulling their pants and trousers down to their ankles to pee. WTF!?! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If yopur trousers have long legs and no zipper, I guess that's almost the only way to go ... Oz urinals, OTOH, are often just a long trough, stand where you like there's no hiding here! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 A man walks into a public rest room and has no arms. He looks at the guy at the urinal next to him and says "Sir, I know this is an extreme annoyance, but I have no arms and I really have to pee very bad. Could you please unzip my pants?" The guy thinks about it and feels sorry for the guy so he unzips his pants. "Dude, I know that this is going beyond the call of duty, but could you pull it out?" The guy reaches in and pulls out the grossest, pussiest, green, brown, nastly looking penis he's ever seen. The no armed man does his business and says "Dude, thank you so much, but could you please shake it and put it back in for me?" The man does so but asks "What the hell's wrong with that thing?" Then the armless man pulls his arms out of his shirt and says "I don't know, but I wasn't going to touch it!" Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 its funny how whenever there is something in the toilet, we always aim for it....doesn't matter what it is but I always start aiming for whatever is down there!! In Aberdeen, a toilet in a staunch Aberdeen FC pub had the face of ex-Rangers player Ian Durrant plastered to the inside of every urinal so that Aberdeen fans could pee on him at every opportunity!! as you may have guessed, there is no love lost between Aberdeen and Rangers Link to post Share on other sites
midnightcharger2 0 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 To answer ROB's question. I believe it is the same scenario as adults raising their hands to cross the street. Where do they learn it/enforce it? Kindergarten. I guess some habits they never grow out of. Same goes for the crawling inside the urinal to do buisness. Link to post Share on other sites

Tex 3 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I can't imagine they are trying to hide anything given Onsen etiquette, my bet is they are trying to stop any drips or splashing other peoples shoes OT what is funny for me is those crazy little stools in the Onsens, I have to kneel down and then get on it Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 well they aren't doing a bloody good job.....there are always puddles of pee around the base of each urinal Link to post Share on other sites
