Mark my words, in 100 years we'll look back at urinals like we look back at communal toilets in Rome where you shared a shit covered sponge to wash your ass. Why use a urinal when you can just use the toilet? Do you like having other people's pee splatter all over you? It's a barbaric practice. I will make sure urinals are abolished once i am made the general secretary of the central committee of the communist party of the fucking world republic

The best argument in favor of urinals is that you can fit more in the same space, but I have sympathy for folks that don't like using them.

When I was a teen I hated using urinals. In most places they're optional, but in a busy public bathroom situation there's a social pressure to use them because otherwise you're standing in a public bathroom waiting while there is open urinal stalls.

Fenway Park used to have these horrible open trough urinals that were like a 12 foot wide urinal with no dividers and had a line most of the time. When the smallest hole opened people behind you would want you to be hip to hip with other people pissing. Fuck that.

The Renn Faire has these too. Imagine this but with a guy in a jester costume.
