Leaning Towers

[legalmoose]

I do not understand the need of some men to lean on the wall in front of them while they pee at a urinal. Does the sight of their penis so mesmerize them that they can no longer keep their balance? Do they fear the loss of pressure in the bladder will knock them off their feet? Or perhaps the force of the stream is such that they feel a need to lean forward in order to counterbalance it?

Hmmm.

Well I know that in my case I'm uncomfortable when other guys are around me in the men's room. That and not all of it comes out in a steady stream. Sometimes it drips. And yanno, that's no fun on one's shoes/socks/feet, etc.

Print out signs that say "Do not lean on wall $25 Fine." and put them up everywhere in the bathroom.

I am 54 years old and until a couple of months ago, I honestly had precious little info about men and their use of urinals or about urinals at all. But, between your LJ and ruralrob's I am now amazinging (and gratefully) far more informed. Thanks!

Oh! There's a whole etiquette about the ins and outs of using the men's room!

And ladies thought they had it bad!

It's so funny you should say! Shortly after reading your post, I had to go to the pisser.

Well, I go inside, unzip and the next thing I know, I'm leaning against the urinal with my chin almost resting on top of the valve. Then I remembered your post. Then I realized why I was doing it:

I'm just too fucking lazy to stand when I piss.

hehe

Thanks to my erratic telepathy, I've heard the following streams of consciousness (small pun):

1) "I'm afraid I might be accused of actually enjoying the act of touching myself. Maybe if I keem my hands where everyone can see em, I won't get busted for lewd acts--again."

2) "DAMN this kidney stone hurts like a motherfucker...maybe if I sorta tilt like...so...kinda let the pee flow around it"

3) "I've been in my cubicle staring at my screensaver for too long, that wall seems like it's falling on me. Hurry, prob it up!"

4) "Hey! If I close my eyes while I'm doing this, no one will know I'm sleeping, and that bitch of a manager won't come looking for me."

Maybe they're just worried that the queer boy next to them might try and check out their package... like you were probably trying to do. *smirk*
