The companion sport to Olympic race walking?

August 7th, 2012 · 31 comments

Because dribbling isn’t such a useful skill outside of basketball…

Somehow I don’t think suggesting people sit down at the urinal is the answer, though.

Perhaps something a bit more Olympic in spirit?

I love the fact that one London Olympics logo is not enough. They needed one at every corner to successfully make their point.
Also, the centralized text makes me wanna hurl. Why are they trying to make their text harder to read? Justify, people. Justify.

This is a universal problem. Unfortunately no sign, humorous or not, is going to make it better.

  The game might, though. At least for those who enjoy water sports.

As a dude that minds his own business, I suspect it’s people that talk on the phone and urinate (it happens quite frequently).

  I wish this was true, however, I don’t think men started urinating on the floor only in the last 20 odd years.
  I hate it when people talk to me on the phone and I can hear them peeing. It is very disturbing.

Man, I’m not touching this with a 3.5 inch pole.

The troubled author of this sign truly misunderstands the nature of sport so much so that his license for analogy should be revoked. Ted Williams, perhaps the greatest hitter of all time, successfully hit the baseball only 4 times out of 10. I rest my case.

  And yet, for some men successfully hitting the target 4 out of 10 times would be an improvement.

What gets me is the little goal at the end. The rest of it is pretty standard but that little goal… Olympic peeing, anyone?

  Any man who uses that urinal should be required to shout out “GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!” just before the two shakes.
  
  I’m assuming, of course, that he hit the goal. Floor pee-ers get a red card.

I am totally hanging this sign in my bathroom at home. I’m also going to keep a box of Cheerios in the bathroom; perhaps if the men in my house have something to aim at, they’ll do a better job of it.

And, I will give my boys credit where credit is due – they are pretty damn good about putting the seat down when they are done; and they do put it up when they go. I could have it much worse.

  I remember hearing about some public place (a bar, maybe? Not sure) that painted a fly near the centre of each of its urinals, and suddenly there were almost no more messes on the floor. The patrons just could not resist aiming at the fly.
  
  So, you know, if you don’t mind it looking like there’s always a fly in your toilet, you could try that.

  That’s actually how my aunt potty-trained my cousin.

People are filthy animals. All we do is pretend otherwise.

  So you wouldn’t mind if your friends and acquaintances pee on your floor or say, shit in your oven? Thought so.

Now I have to resist the urge to print these off and place them in the men’s toilet at work. As I normally have to clean them each day before we open, I know far too much about how odd the urinals can get. Now, I just need to find a way to convince the guys to not leave balls of chewing gum in the urinals…

  Maybe you should just leave them there so they have something to aim for?

Maybe women don’t understand this, but men can’t always aim accurately. It doesn’t necessarily go where you point it. Of course at home or someone’s house you should wipe up if you miss, but at a public urinal you can’t really do that.

  And this is why I will continue to say – SIT THE F DOWN. If you CAN’T reliably aim, please please PLEASE just go use the toilet instead of the urinal.

  How can you not aim accurately? Okay, maybe if you have pretty bad hand-eye coordination or something. But otherwise…. isn’t it essentially a point and shoot?

  I’m no guy, but when I’m using a water hose, I get better control when I hold it close to the opening. Just sayin…

  yudantaiteki is right… sometimes you actually point exactly where you want it, but the stream goes sideways for some reason.
  it’s very annoying when that happens! especially since you have to clean it afterwards (which, clearly, not many people do)

  As a man, I get what yudantaiteki is saying regarding the aiming. This is going to be gross, but if you really want to know ladies – sometimes the sides of the opening of our hoses get stuck together, which may result in the stream going a bit sideways for a split second rather than straight until the passageway completely opens up (and a split second is all it takes).
  
  However, that’s still no excuse for not cleaning up after yourself, and if you find this happening to you frequently, you should probably just sit down if there is a seat available.

  Also long foreskins that overhang the rest of the unit can send the stream off in different directions if it’s not pulled back far enough.

Lets hope the Olympic Committee doesn’t get wind of their unauthorized use of the Olympic logo.
