Stalls are NOT for Standing

This is a little pet peeve that I have. At work the men's restroom has two urinals and two stalls. One stall is a narrow small thing that real men cannot fit in, the other is a nice handicap stall. So only having two places to sit becomes an issue at lunch time, because even though there are bathrooms on the next two floors if you need a stall walking up stairs is not something that you want to have to do. Which brings us back to the topic and a true story;

I go into the restroom, after the noon rush to drop a deuce. I look to the nice spacious stall first, but there is a gray haired mans head bouncing up and down in the stall. So I listen to hear if he is starting or finishing, so i know if I could get into the better of the two stalls. I hear that he is grabbing toilet paper, so i think this is putting it down on the seat to sit down and do his thing. But no... He is picking up the seat to use it like a urinal, even though there is no one using the other two urinals or the smaller, easy to stand, not enough room to sit stall. Now I am not against using the stall if the two urinals are taken, but if they are open don't use the the best stall on the floor to do a stand up job. I mean really what are you thinking when you get into the bathroom, "good no one here" lets go to the most private largest stall to take care of number one. For the sake of all the men who can't choose between stall and urinal, if it is number one that you need to do, use an urinal. Now if you are a little shy don't worry that is what the splash guard is for. Plus No one is looking in a men's bathroom, in fact we don't even talk to each other in there.

So I am begging you let the ones who need to sit first choice and use the urinals.

Jerm, it seems to me that there is some type of secret code of ethics at work here, which apparently not all men are privy to. You need to understand that not all of said 'MEN' have the same capacity for eliminating in public, which in my mind, is what a urinal is.
Now having said that, may I just add, welcome to the world of lines in a restroom. Women have had to cope with it for centuries and now we are getting a little of our own back.

I must say I had never thought of a men's room as having such a dilemna. Very insightful.

Thank you for the knowledge of what really happens in a men's room. I did get a good laugh out of it. But, I too have no sympathy for you men, so just buck up and deal with it.

I seriously just peed myself a little. It's been a long time since I talked to you Jeremy, but you still have me cracking up!
