That's an important detail to leave out of the headline.

For others it is a means of escaping their family for an hour or so.

Even then, that depends a lot on where you live. $100k/year in California is a lot different than $100k/year in Mississippi.

Right?

What is he even doing? He's not serving them because he's not holding a fry bag. I hope he isn't salting them, because that's obviously not a freshly cooked fry basket because there's not enough fries, so is he just... playing with people's food?

Has he had the proper safe food handling training to be doing this? Please, can someone ask the local health department to investigate?

Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after?

Yes... and, sadly, not always. Just take a look around a urinal (which shouldn't be difficult at all to miss) and I don't think this is just a 'me' issue.

When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often.

The biggest issue I typically have is the toilet water is really cold if I accidentally hang down into it, but I normally don't have a problem with pee hitting the sides of the bowl.

Yeah, sorry... someone else had riled me up, and I didn't do a cache flush before seeing your comment.

I've only been questioned once about sitting to pee... it was after about 10 years of being married. My wife asked one day if I sit while peeing at home, and when I told her that I do she said "I've always wondered why there isn't pee all over our bathrooms".

No, more like using a pen to write about how important the 2nd amendment is, without actually needing to own a gun first.

But, like, what point do you think I was trying to make? That if I don't sit down to pee then I won't be able to pee standing? I'm really confused at your attempt to shoehorn politics into a conversation about piss.

You know what, fuck off. Who the fuck do you think you're trying to impress? I know my fucking job sucks, I know the company I work for sucks and I know that almost everyone who works for this company is suffering. So what, fuck me for not wanting to make it worse on everyone else who isn't in a position to just walk off the job? I wish I lived in your dream world where you never have to do things you don't 100% agree with, it must be nice, but for me I'm living in this shit and I'm trying my best to take care of the people who count on me. So let me say, just to be clear: fuck you.

Trust me, I don't want to work here either, but having spent 6 months looking for a job and eating through my savings and knowing that I'm in no position to do that again anytime soon, I don't exactly have many options. And yes, I've considered a union, but I also don't want to end up unemployed again so I'm not going to be the one to champion that.

I always sit to pee when I'm at home, mostly so I don't have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee... and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.

Don't get me wrong, I fully know that it's bootlicking shit and I hate it... but I have a family to support, bills to pay, etc. It is soul crushing and someone purposefully picking the most painful time to walk out only hurts their coworkers, because even if you choose to take a sick day when they walk out, the next day you still have to go in and deal with the mess left behind.
