Why Can?t Men Aim?

[WOPR]

Note: I'm not saying all Men are like this, I just want to know why it does happens in cases?!

I've never had that problem, and I'm a man. . .
*shrugs* maybe because I was raised in a way where that wasn't okay?
I don't know

 

[ShadowsofHope]

We try.

But that stream just doesn't want to obey us very often. Low pressure can be hazardous sometimes, you know. (ie. the dreaded public bathroom situation, and why I never, ever ever use one)

Edit: I also pee sitting down most of the time (standing takes too much fucking effort for the act), especially when I am energetic. Energetic + "hose" = Oh god!

 

[Joshimodo]

Well once I did a piss and it went out horizontally, how the hell it did that I have no idea.

I think you mean vertically...

You know, sometimes I wonder why I don't just sit.

Because your balls would be cut off and taken back to the man factory, that's why!

Exactly. But why is it we must stand? It just is that way. Why do we men have such a strong urge to pee standing?

Territorial marking habits.


Basically, the trajectory and style of urine stream are almost entirely random.

Because we were once proud hunters who were expected to feed the tribe. We hunted with sharp, pointy sticks and we had to be very accurate to hit the mark.

This urge to pee standing is obviously some kind of dormant gene waking up when we need to pee, and tells us that we are men! And that men pee standing so we can pee in the toilet with great accuracy!

Yes, I'll just be taking that Nobel Prize in medicine, thank you.

Liquid's splash.

Nothing more.

 

[Kitacular]

I've always had to enter a bath/toilet room with piss on the floor and toilet seat.

yeah, this bit is the most frustrating part. particularly in the mens bogs in public places. who are these fucking people. when im at home and miss (whether due to drinking too much, human error or my body deciding to play NIGHTMARE MODE and split between 2-5 streams) i (and you should too) at least fucking clean up after myself

 

[Dfskelleton]

Men can aim, it's just that the trajectory of the piss isn't always too predictable. Sometimes the stream just goes in a different direction than you had expected. Orifices aren't that predictable.
Have you ever tried pouring water from a glass, only to find that the water runs down the glass instead of going straight down? That might happen towards the end of a peeing-session, when pressure is sinking.
Oh, and the infamous "split stream". That one's always delightful.

I always clean up if I make a mess though. Anything else would be gross.

You know, sometimes I wonder why I don't just sit.
[sub]Men are supposed to stand, damnit! That's just what we do. We are gifted with the ability to stand, and we'll be damned if we don't use it to its fullest.[/sub]

Yeah, you pretty much just won the thread.

 

[jojoemon]

Lazy, tired, couldn't give a fuck. It's just stuff like that.

 

[UltraXan]

What kind of thread is this?!

I don't know about you, but I don't miss too often... But then again, I sit down at home, and rarely go anywhere else (public restrooms are nasty as hell, as I'm sure we can all agree).

 

[MordinSolus]

Never missed, but some people are cursed with split-stream.

 

[Nexus424]

It's not so much that missing it's just as I've heard the legendary split stream outta left field. It fills me with so much malice each time it happens.

pretty much this, and i agree. its really damn annoying when it seems im the only person i know, or dont know, who dosent piss on the floor. i mean even in my school people dont flush the damn urinals or toilets (especially after they crap in them). i mean how hard is it? and if you spill some shit on the floor, theres towels and shit within 2 steps of your current position, how hard can it be to grab it and wipe it up? its fucking annoying!!!

Nightmare mode? really? that just cracks me the hell up

 

[mikespoff]

Man, I thought the title was referring to video games. I can totally aim!

On the toilet, well... standing brings teh same difficulties to all of us.

 

[Drummah]

The key is to have a gay dude roommate.

They care more about being tidy than I do.

 

[noxymoron19]

Sometimes I like a challenge. I'll aim for the ceramic and keep the noise down. Or I'll shoose to lean against the wall directly beside the toilet. Makes the whole thing feel so relaxing. And yes these choices lead to spills and messes. Also when I'm drunk pissing i can't stand still, I waver and move alot. No idea why, but yet my aim is usually solid enough. Mistakes happen to the best of us.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I'm not too sure. If I have a misfire I clean it up.

 

[Lissa-QUON]

Asking this is like asking women why they have to get those darned yeast infections all the time (proximity of the meatus to the anoos)

What women have YOU been hanging with? Yeast infections can happen, but I've only known one woman to get one. And this is speaking as one of the female persuasion who lived in an all female dorm for a few years. So yea...I wouldn't use the term "all the time" to describe them.

 

[godfist88]

perhaps this will shed some light on the subject

 

[Worgen]

combining mega morning wood with trying to pee is a recipe for a mess

Gotta sit down for that, although that creates the new scenario [Which I've had far too many times] of somehow managing to pee through the gap between seat and toilet, and it going all down my leg.
Makes me livid

I dont see how sitting down would help, it would just shoot all over the wall, I have mighty morning wood, not some kind of wussy morning wood that can be controlled by pressing down on it
