Ohhh piss off
says the literal grammar police
It's obviously photoshopped. What are you talking about?
So what? If you don't find it funny, downvote and move on. Quit whingeing!
whingeing
So you're not just the grammar police, you're the comment section police as well...
Did you wake up this morning and thought to yourself "I'm going to pick the most inane hill to fight for today"?
I was gonna ask why are you being a Constant Pain, but then it hit me.
Good one, but it's harder to catch than the first guy's pun with the piss off.
I'm so sad to see people missing the pun and down voting...
You got an audible grunt from me with that one sir, good job!
Glad at least one person could get it :)
Compression so garbage can't tell if it's from ps or a label maker sticker.
I give you that, can very much be!
Sticker would be so much better... I think I need a label maker now 🤣
Can someone ELI'manidiot
4U2PN2 - "for you to pee into"
The serial number is on a urinal.
Thank you. They should make that a fake serial number on all of them and put the real one on the back.
Narrator: that's what they did
Glad to know I am as dumb as advertised.
Nah, I'm just sceptical of everything and assume things are intentional
thought you called yourself a man-idiot
That too.
"Eli, Man-Idiot, at your service"
It’s beautiful
I was today years old when I realised Americans have to manually flush their urinals. It’s basically half the advantage gone.
Depends where you are and how old the place is. Newer places (last 15ish years or so) will have the auto flush toilets but most businesses only upgrade the bathrooms when things brake.
break*
Not if the office building is constructed with mobile capabilities.
No they meant brake. Like, the urinal's smooth and continued function brakes. Comes to a halt.
I'm pretty sure most places outside the US just use the huge metal trough that the US seems to reserve for stadiums
Where did you get this information from?
I'm curious where you're from that every single urinal in the whole country has been upgraded.
I'm from Ireland but pretty much any country I've been has all been automatic urinals
I haven't seen a manual flush urinal in Finland in years either
I live in Belgium and the last time I remember having to flush one of these was at least 10 years ago without exaggeration
and zero flush toilets exist in the wonderful benelux
I assume that in Benelux, they're all just using squat toilets that have to be rinsed out with a bucket of water?
nah, we have those wonderful german poop shelf toilets so we can analyze our excrement
I have never seen a manual urinal in Britain. Never.
It's not even upgrade, even twenty years ago, most of them were either always rinsing or on some sort of intermittent timer. I guess when they were just a big communal trench it didn't make sense for them to be flushed by an individual. (UK / various Europe)
I'm from Australia and it's been like 8 years since I've manually flushed
In the UK all the urinals in the bathroom will be flushed automatically at the same time using an auto-syphon that is attached to a tank that's slowly and continuously filled with water.
So it requires no moving parts or electricity, and flushes automatically at a regular interval depending on how fast the water supply is.
And it's been that way basically forever.
That's awesome! Do you by chance know what they are called? I did a quick search but all I see are electronic ones.
They're typically just called a "urinal automatic syphon"
Here's a great Steve Mould video on them if you want to learn more
Thanks. I love Steve Mould.
Sounds like a waste of water. Why not simply use motion sensors or flushless urinals like they do in the US?
The modern ones do, this was the solution before motion sensors
Probably less than half of them
Once I did my business at a public urinal in Texas and was walking away and then as I was washing my hands this old white guy that went to use the urinal after me gave me a dirty look. And only then did I realize that it was not a self flushing urinal, like it's been so long since I've seen one that it needs to be manually flushed that I didn't even consider that.
We do? Urinals with manual flush are rare. These days there's either a motion sensor, or a flushless urinal installed.
