Short Urinals

As the floor to the bathroom on my floor at my office will attest to, most people when attempting to use an Evanal piss all over the [censored] floor. They're nasty.

Really? I don't see how it's more challenging to hit in an Evanal than a regular urinal. I wonder if they're trying to specifically aim for the urinal water. I find that the least ricochet is obtained when aiming for the back wall of the urinal at about a 45 degree angle rather than directly into the water.

Midgets and children can only use short urinals, but regular sized adult men can still use the short urinal. Why aren't all the urinals short?

Answers are greatly appreciated.

Because tall people pee on the top of small urinals.

The short urinal is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Correct. They're for those of us with exceedingly long penises. In a traditional urinal, my penis will hang down and splash around in the water, which is highly unpleasant. The "Short urinal" allows me to urinate in total comfort.

Does the government provide you with a wheelbarrow as well?

My office has them. They're dumb, they're annoying. I don't know the specifics of what gets grandfathered in, but I imagine a good penny has been wasted on "upgrading" bathrooms.

I work at a site with 7000+ people. I haven't seen ONE midget/dwarf. I do, however, step in pee daily. And besides, why can't they just pee in the stall?

I think communal troths are the answer.

1)It has nothing to do with midgets or dwarfs.
2)They can pee in the stall, but if somebody is in there dumping, and they have to piss bad, they should have access to a urinal, just like the rest of us ambulatory folks.
3)I don't understand why you "step in pee" and what this has to do with a 17" urinal rather than 24" urinal.
4)These laws basically went into effect in the early 90's. Bathrooms (as well as elevators, parking, drinking foutains, and payphones, and anything else that was not in compliance before that date) didn't ahve to be automatically upgraded. But when a certain amount of work is done in the building, it triggers bringing these elements into compliance.

You would not even begin to imagine how much is spent on bathroom upgrades every year. I have access to a lot of this info.

What's it have to do with, then? What other adults need a shorter urinal? I'm serious. Excuse my naivety if this is obvious.

Our company men's room has one shorty urinal and 2 stalls only. This totally blows. The top of the shorty urinal ends up getting covered in pee splashes from guys shaking it since most guys waistline is higher than the top of the urinal. Gross.

Well, the law says that people in a wheelchair need it.
