The other night, my wife and I went to a movie and then dinner. The movie was "Must Love Dogs" with John Kusack. It wasn't quite what I expected nor as good. It was a cross between "You've Got Mail" and "Serendipity", also staring John Kusack.
Alas, I digress. Back to the story. While at dinner, I found myself needing to use the restroom. So I circumnavigated the restaurant to find my intended destination and opened the door and searched for the urinal. When I found it, I was puzzled by what I saw. It was an ordinary urinal with all the standard features that one would expect one to have and appeared to be in working order. What made this one stand out from others that I have used and seen was the fact that bottom of the urnial was just below my waist. I am not a short guy. I am just over 6ft tall. So, in order for me to use this urnial in the intended manner, I would have to stand on my tippy toes and pee in an upwardly direction...not a normal practice for me. In other words, it was mounted so high on the wall, that I would have to have been at least 6in. taller to use it properly. They could have mounted it lower and still accomidate taller people. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind the positioning of it, but I didn't feel the urge to ask.
Why can't they just use the ones that go all the way to the floor. That way it can be reached by guys of different heighths, peeing styles and mental capacities and not force to use the toilet in the stall which should not be used for stand-up urinating in a public application because of possible collateral damage so to speak and rendering it useless for sitdown missions.
This is One Man's Opinion
