Do men have smaller bladders than women?

[evesdream]

I've started to grow accustomed to living in a city where come a Sunday stroll one occasionally walks into a toxic cloud of urine saturated air.

Today when we got on the D train we looked out the window and saw on the narrow platform the back of a man who was peeing against the tiled wall inside the station. Yes, inside the station, just like the middle ages.

Because it was a very narrow area of this station the only thing separating us from the guy was the window glass, about a foot of air, and a sense of shame/indignation, I guess.

Anyhow, it was disgusting.

Gentlemen, where do you draw the line when it comes to public urination?

Also ... damn! Is is very hard to hold it in until reaching a designated receptacle? Are you guys aware that no one wants to walk in your pee and that it smells terrible?

Take a 600 mile drive with me, we'll see who has to stop first.

[ms_ann_thrope]

Be glad he wasn't peeing on your leg.

I dated a girl that pissed on my truck's wheel, even lifted one leg. I met a woman that bet me she could piss in a beer bottle without spilling a drop............I lost the bet. I dated a women that wrote her name in the snow.

Yeah, we're real animals. *chuckle*

This city needs a functional public restroom system like last century, but I don't know when that's ever going to happen. There's been proposals given and models done for years, but none of those balls ever gets rolling. It's going to be a real problem because the population is rising exponentially and every social negative that doesn't get addressed properly will be rising along with it, like...a tide of piss.

The old rule was and still is, if you gotta go, go behind the first available out-of-sight-as-possible dumpster you can find. Women do this too, but not as frequently.

Depending where I am in the city, I know where the available restrooms/bogs are and try my best to situate myself accordingly. If I'm in Midtown, I know I can make my office. If I'm downtown on either side, I know the bars I frequent enough that I can pop in and do the do. Most establishments only let you use their restrooms as a customer. Sometimes it's worth buying a burger or whatever their fare is to go use their facilities rather than dancing and holding it in until the last minute if you know you're not gonna make it.

Yeah, the subway stations are still the worst. The only thing you can do is try to adapt yourself to know which ones are piss-perfume prone and which areas of them to avoid the funk. When I take the J home at Canal St. downtown, for example, if there's an incoming city-bound, the air pressure blows a Santa Ana wind of aged, baked-in piss funk from the tunnel, left there by homeless and other people brave enough to whiz before a train comes along. Just that side for some reason. It's usually a faint scent most of the year, but during a hard summer heat, the layers come out and you're reminded, yeah, this is New York. I try not to laugh at the tourists gagging.

No joke though, there are consequences...someone did this very thing at 34th St. (I think) last year around this time...it was late into the after hours, he was drunk and wobbly...so he went to piss in the tunnel where the maintenance stairs are behind the hinged gate and died when his jacket got caught in the train leaving the station which dragged the poor soul back into the tunnel he just tried to leave and...wham. It was caught on one of the station electronic eyes. No blood or gore or anything, it was like one minute he was there and then made the error of listing too far over while the train was moving instead of staying put. Snatched by fate and the laws of physics in three seconds. All because he needed to pee.

We have private runnned toilets like this one all over the city, 50 cents for use, also most station toilets are private and kept clean. And most restaurants got toilets you can use mostly for free. And a lot of construction sites have their dixie toilets. There's no reason to urinate in public.

We tolerate pissing in the park, hidden. But even the most drunken people here know: without a tree, there's no piss.

Old Guys Pee A Lot

Grinning, Old guys pee a lot. Swollen prostate, we pee at least once an hour.

In 19th and 20th Century England, local City Halls used to take pride in opening toilet facilities. They were expressions of public hygiene and valued.

In the late 20th and particularly in the 21st Century, City Halls have realised that they do not have a legal duty to provide toilets. The legal requirements they do have to meet are becoming more difficult to finance, so those optional services have to be cut.

Vandalism doesn't help. After 30 years of campaigning with the help of many others I was present at the opening of the public toilets next to the children's play area in our park. That meant parents of several small children didn't have to cross two busy roads and walk 200 yards every time a child wanted a wee.

The new toilets were 'tagged' the night before the opening. They have been vandalised twenty times in the three years that they have been open. I, and others, are fighting hard to keep them open because they are much appreciated, but the cost of the vandalism is worrying the Councillors. We are having to continue to raise money to keep the toilets open - just to repair the damage to the 'vandal-resistant' toilets.

Who are the vandals? The older children who used to use the play area before there were toilets, and too often the drunk or drugged partners/boyfriends of the young mothers who appreciate the toilets.

Same thing happened to public toilets in Berlin. Without the Wall AG, that built bus stations and toilets for free, funded about advertising, and keep them clean on a regular base, nothing would've been done, and we'd have kind of the same problems.

Finding a proper place to piss is much easier when you do not live outside.

I agree with the need for functional public restroom system but it woud only be a matter of time before they were so disgusting or unsafe that men would choose to urinate outside anyway.

As a female, and Im not sure if I can speak for all women everywhere, but Im a bathroom snob. I know where to find all the nice bathrooms in NYC as well as Chicago. If I can't find one, I duck into a coffee shop or a Starbucks which is o every corner. If Im on the subway, the El or some other kind of mass transit, I'll hold it. No thank you to their stinky, vile washrooms.

I don't get why, in the land of everything-run-private, this can't be a business model like in Germany.

I mean, even a 3 feet high underaged gangster can rent a dixie toilet and collect money for using.

That's a good point. The mob controls the construction industry in NYC, and the garbage industry in NJ. You'd think running the porta-potty game in the tri-state area would be a natural evolution.

So, after sharing the outrage for a few minutes, my husband actually slid into this defense! The "We're Animals" defense, and I quote: "Humans aren't built to hold it in. We were made to just go in the forest whenever we need to. What animal in the wild holds it in?"

...

Enlarged prostates?

It can't be all of them though. There's so much pee, Noor. So much of it.

My spouse is more NY mature than me and he suggested what you did too, that there aren't enough public pissoirs (like the French have) in the city. He described them as low-walled pits which are mostly exposed to avoid shenanigans. Seems like a sound idea on paper.

I didn't think about the homeless issue. There really are few places to go if you don't have any money in the city, unless you can figure out where all the public libraries are and their opening hours.

Does the private company get any more than adspace out of this?

A good test of who's a female poster and who's a guy pretending, is to check whether or not they know that peeing in most public toilets means hovering 3 centimeters or more above the seat.

And 50 cents every use, recurred every 20 minutes (if you need longer).

I don't know what they're doing different with their bus stops than the city-runned ones, that are most of the time in worse conditions.

There used to be something like this in Times Square, but for some reason it just never took off.

Oh always. I've developed strong thigh muscles from doing just that for the past 20 years. I'd never sit on a public toilet. Never.

The ones I stay in are private. Not sure where you lodge at while out of town.

I think Wall works because of the many bus stops, so they can take higher ad prices.
