Avert thine eyes, if you are not interested in men's urinals and the etiquette that surrounds them.
It appears that some men are pre-flushers. That is, when they arrive at a urinal, they immediately haul on the handle to get a good flush going. I don't know if they need to hear the rushing water to get started, or if they just like a clean urinal before peeing. I don't care.
What I do care about, is that, when they are done, they flush again. Please. There is nothing nastier than arriving at a urinal to find it full of someone else's urine.
So if you're a pre-flusher, would you please also be a two-flusher?
Thank you.
I'd like to note that the auto-flushing urinal is a handy solution to this. I'd like our government to do something about mandating these in new construction.
Are you suggesting here that all pre-flushers are not post-flushers?
I suggest no such thing. Pre-flushing is not a wrong act, in and of itself. I only wish that all pre-flushers were also post-flushers. Alas, the frequency with which I come upon fragrant, yellow-water urinals would suggest that there are numerous pre-flushers in the world who are, indeed, not post-flushers too.
This has held true in my experience across the country, NYC, Iowa City, Minneapolis, and Omaha. There also appears to be an (anecdotal) correlation between sports bars and standing urine (and not just on the floor).
