Visited a public men's restroom. The urinal walls barely went to my sternum. Why would anyone think this is OK?

It's funny how different cultures have different norms about toilet or private body space etiquette. Having grown up in UK culture I have no great problem with the 'wall urinal', yet when I go to the US and you have a 2 foot gap at the bottom of the sit down cubicles, that feels very weird and non-private. The Germans on the other hand find the Brits to be prudes because they can't see what is the big deal with going to a shared mixed sex sauna. We're funny, us humans... · 2 years ago

Manchester city centre used to have outdoor urinals where you'd stand in the middle of a busy street to wee. Not sure if they're still there. Might have used them once for the novelty, can't quite remember since I'd have been drunk. · 2 years ago

@jsreed5 Those style of urinals are still quite common in older British pubs. · 2 years ago

The town I grew up in had a drive-in cinema. The men's restroom there had, instead of individual urinals, one large trough that took up a entire wall: no stalls, no dividers, no privacy. It's odd to think about in today's culture, but that's what I got used to. · 2 years ago
