To think that men should sit down to pee on trains?

Because I am rather tired of paddling in piss. I'm not talking about a few drops either, I'm talking about large puddles that spread and cannot be avoided. And I was wearing sandals. :sob:

Men, many of you can't aim well at the best of times, what makes you think that you can aim well going at speed on a rickety train?

It's self-perpetuating. A sub-set of people are revolting and inconsiderate, so train toilets often have wee all over the place.

A man doesn't want to site on a wee-covered loo any more than a woman does. Probably less so, as there's an unpleasant tendency for his member to come into contact with a toilet bowl, especially with the odd-shaped and/or undersized WCs on trains (sorry if TMI!).

Faced with the choice of cleaning up puddles of other people's wee with his bare hands or standing up, most men will choose the latter.

...or they'll use the sink instead, obviously. Good point, bungmean! Wink

Sink, or as it's sometimes known the "Hot and cold running urinal"

So that's why public loo sinks often have 'not drinking water' signs up. It's because someone has pissed on the taps.

Actually, going by the state of some train sinks I have no doubt that some people pee in them.
