A German court has ruled that men are not culpable for damages if they stand to urinate into a toilet ..

But the Duesseldorf judge ruled that the man's method was within cultural norms, saying "urinating standing up is still common practice".
There is some debate in Germany about whether men should sit or stand to pee.
Some toilets have red traffic-style signs forbidding the standing position - but those who choose to sit are often referred to as a "Sitzpinkler", implying it is not masculine behaviour.
There has been a bit of pressure from some women to ask men to sit while having a pee over at least the last couple of decades .. I haven't exactly been keeping notes but this isn't a new request. I think the only times we men standing while having a slash annoys other people (including other men) is when you get someone who decides to stand about a foot away from the bowl .. I had to have a go at my old flatmate for that once when the Mrs walked into our flat's bathroom one morning in her socks and stepped in a puddle of his wee .. stand OVER the bowl to do that and I will fight for your right to stand and pee !Further enlightenment from that case:
Which leads me to ask: How man guys pee sitting down these days? Has that shifted over the last few decades? Have I become a cultural dinosaur by standing? Where does one go for answers on this burning question?
*Updates favourite word list.*those who choose to sit are often referred to as a "Sitzpinkler".
Pretty much any old guy you can think of.Which leads me to ask: How many guys pee sitting down these days?
Pretty much any old guy you can think of.
Unless you have a huge belly and can't see where you're pointing it..... surely all a bloke has to do is stand over a toilet bowl instead of some distance away from it ..
A real scientist (probably) explains why men shouldn't sit down to wee .. and it makes a lot of sense ..

It was on the pee-er.A natural fireman.
A man put out a fire on the world's longest pleasure pier by urinating on it.
Thomas Watson noticed a small fire on the deserted Southend Pier and took matters into his own hands by relieving himself over the flames.
The council thanked him for his "quick-thinking tinkling" but said it was confident its own sprinkler system would have worked, as The Sun reported.
Essex Fire Service confirmed it was called but no action was required.
Mr Watson, 22, from Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, was visiting the 1.3 mile (2.1km) pier with his partner and daughter on Friday at about 19:30 BST, when he noticed smoke and small flames on the wooden planks.

Mad! Reminds me of a scene in Gulliver, which never makes it to the kiddie versions!
Didn't the Ted Danson one have that?
Good Man. He remembered everything I taught him ..A natural fireman.

I think it was the Jack Black version.Didn't the Ted Danson one have that? Or am I imagining things?
I think it was the Jack Black version.
Thank you. I usually am. [buffs fingernails]Yes, you're probably right!
I am sure the Ted Danson one has a peeing scene. He puts the castle out when it goes on fire. The Queen is less than pleased when she looks up, all dripping wet to thank him and he is putting himself away!Didn't the Ted Danson one have that? Or am I imagining things?
Adm. Bolgolam: [the Emperor, his sons, General Limtoc and Admiral Bolgolam, Clustril and other s are in the Lilliputian campaign room, discussing Gulliver's 'inventive' way of extinguishing a fire] This is an outrage! He made water in the royal grounds! It's a treasonable offence!
Emperor of Lilliput: But he saved the Empress' life!
Gen. Limtoc: At what cost? Our stepmother may never go out in public again, convinced that she's the laughing stock of Lilliput!
Emperor of Lilliput: But she's not that...
[to Clustril]
Emperor of Lilliput: Is she?
