Aiming in the urinal - a warning

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

To those who like to take aim at something in the urinals, a word of caution. I have recently come across a drainage hole configuration that could be very dangerous. I came up to the urinal in question, decided to let it all out and forego my usual anti-splashback aim, and instead aim at one of the drain holes. Much to my chagrin, I found that once I hit the hole directly, the stream of urine was redirected and came back out of the hole next to it, right back in my direction! It's a good thing I wasn't shooting real hard that time, or the urinal may have pissed all over me.

Just a word of warning to my fellow men. Be careful out there.

fooling around in the can is -EV.

there is a bar by my place that pust the unused/melting ice in the urinal, though, i love to melt it.

So, what's the configuration?

What kind of rocket scientist put that there?

You guys ever play "Move the urinal cake"?

Sometimes I like to make a snowman if there's an old one and a newer one in there.

There are times to experiment and there are times to play it safe.

Last night when I went to Chipotle, I got guac on my Carnitas burrito. The day before, I went with chicken. I view these as worth experiements. When I piss in the urinal, I am for the what I view as the mathematically correct point to aim at. You're a rocket scienist, you know the best place to aim, assuming you're in a vacuum. Take that point, add a couple of inches up for friction and you've found the money spot.

PS, today it was Carnitas/Fajita/Tomatilla-Green and Tomato/sour cream, cheese, and lettece/no guac.

Always stand back and aim to the middle especially when wearing shorts.

Patrick,
Glad to here you made it out unscathed and unsplashed.

I've long maintained that worst engineering flaw known to man is the urinal with the rounded top so that you can't set a beer on it. Wtf is whith that?

[CrazyN8]

I think it's here in AL that the welcome centers have targets in the urinals....very cool!

This one has a rather nifty feature. You stand on a grate so even if you pee on your shoe, you can't miss.






But, this is my favorite.....

At the mongolian grill near here they usually have ice in the urinal...its fun watching the ice melt.

Ice in the urinal is an old trick to keep the odor down. Its much less common now than it used to be.
