Yesterday I removed a cabinet I installed head-high years ago above the toilet. I had come to rely on that cabinet, upon which while standing, to lean my forehead as I did business. Today, unthinking while doing, I leaned into it with my forehead.

The cabinet was no longer there. Just the wall. Eighteen inches of acceleration before I hit it.

Stream diverted. Pissed all over the place.

When I read the above I had a image in my head of a scene from Daddy Day Care where the little boy comes out of the toilet and says [b]I had an Accident.[/b]

No I'm not going there. :p

But never utilized in a similar way.

It might be good to temporarily install something that can be similarly utilized until you become accustomed to not having that "rest". This should help to avoid unnecessary incidents as you retrain yourself.

Glad you weren't hurt- as you could easily have been.

I've weighed the pros and cons, and there's just no reason for me to bother standing, just because I could.
Besides, I once blacked out standing, leaning on the wall via my left arm.
I believe it's a window of opportunity for the pulse to get indecisive.

I started that when I was recovering from foot surgery and didn't have a choice. Now it's just easier in the early AM than maintaining my balance and aim.

Subjects you to the saber-tooth, and all manner of other predation. Should be, she squats; you stand, in order for you to keep your eye out and at least a weapon hand free.

Ain't some things don't change.

In steppes mode, why even pause? Run free, spray as you go! :D

In a cave, you squat down, presenting a small target, face the opening. Someone comes? Overrun them! Spray as you go :D :D

I'm not able to chew gum as I go, not to mention some guy who, approaching from behind where at the urinal you stand, says with point of blade or screwdriver pressed into your kidney, "Don't move!" Where in hell do you get this running free on the pampas?

Gots to be from women's lib.

She was in too big a hurry to stop. She'd just slow down and drop to a semi-squat while continuing along the trail.

won't use those until they turn them around... Who'd want to stand, hands tied, face to the wall? No wonder some people have trouble performing at those venues, even with no screwdriver-kidney problematic.

There is the story of the metropolitan police detective who, upon entering the stall, thought to take out his 45 and hang it by the trigger guard on the facing door peg before dropping to do his business.

Safety was off.

Cave analogy fails.

by ansugisalas

is not a cave, true.
For public, climb to perch on top of the cistern... pee down from there. You get the drop on creeps, too.
Edit: And, you don't put your face to the wall, and your back to the door. No sense in that.
Barring that... "Wait, hold!"

5 yo boy comes into bathroom while I am taking a pee. Gee Dad I need to pee too, it says. Okay.
Doorbell rings. 5yo turns around. Pisses all over my leg. I scream out, which simply exacerbates situation. Pee all over me and bathroom.

I share your grief.

Nice. :^0

But yeah, I've seen that sort of thing a couple of times. It's awesome when you aren't in your own home and can't find anything to clean up with. :D

Some are more susceptible than others to passing out or dizziness from standing up rapidly.

by ansugisalas

I passed out once while standing... had to do with leaning from my left arm, and peeing causes some weird physiological responses too...
