Do Men from Peru Know Where to Pee in a Bathroom?
I recently visited a bathroom in Peru.
Check out the sign I saw.
Not to be rude, but do men from Peru know where to pee in a bathroom?
After snapping my photo and pondering if Peruvian men truly need that much guidance, I left the bathroom and mentioned what I had seen to my wife and mother-in-law.

It is without a doubt true that in Peru many public bathrooms –if not most– are disgusting. The threat of toilet paper and soap being stolen from bathrooms by impoverished individuals leaves many public restrooms without these highly important supplies. This fact, as well a lack of initiative to clean bathrooms, often results in unsanitary conditions. It has a large ripple effect, from contamination of foods, to the pollution of water, to the spread of disease. It also creates a feeling of low national self-esteem that does not inspire people to cherish landscapes in both natural and urban environments (of course, this later statement comes with considerable exceptions).
But why would men pee on the floor purposely? If they are going to pee on the floor, why enter the bathroom in the first place?
I don’t know the answer, but I do know one thing. My mother-in-law summed it up defensively and concisely: “In the U.S. I saw pee on bathroom floors too!”
Touché.
So perhaps for a future article I should ask: Do people in the U.S. know where to pee in a bathroom?

Because all men are stupid, and such a simple task.. and the still cant acomplish it.
Why do women’s toilets worldwide are dirtier than men’s?
Same thing in Philippines, saw a dude peeing on the floor next to the Toilet, wtf… Then on the way back on the Airbus 340 I went into the Bathroom following an elderly woman, apparently she did now want to use the toilet and peed on the floor… Dunno maybe it has something to do with not having facilities in the rural villages… Not a valid excuse to me but then again I am from Texas…
I’ve often wondered in America, how disgusting it is that so many men “miss” the urinal and pee on the floor. Has society become that lazy that they can’t be bothered to aim and deposit in the facility and not the floor. wtf?!
when you are sh*t faced drunk, it’s hard to hit the target. Maybe Peruvian people drink a lot.
Plus, they didn’t even lift the lid on the sign!
Anyway, when the floor is filthy, the next person steps back a bit to avoid the urine, so ends up missing even more, perpetuating the problem. Constant vigilance and cleanliness is key, as well as education, I suppose.
In America, I tend to only shop in stores I know to have clean restrooms: both as a reward for them doing so, and a sense they are more professional and ethical if they keep a clean restroom.
Cheers,
Doc
Haven’t you heard of contributing “one to the Pacha Mama”? Every bar in Southern Peru and Bolivia has floors awash in beer on account of the Pacha Mama. I suppose you think circumcision of perfectly healthy screaming white babies in Amerika is more civilized?
Seriously Anonymous, Mr. Uncut — let me teach you a quick lesson on using your uncut penis properly.
Grab penis mid shaft. Take hand, and pull backwards, exposing tip of penis. Aim penis at toilet. Push bladder to produce urine out of penis tip, which now, will not cause stream to bounce around your uncut tip splashing all over the place.
Are you either that seriously stupid, or just plain lazy?
I pee on the floor all the time and I live in Toronto, Canada…. I notice a lot of the time the floor is stained yellow. It is quite common here especially in malls.

Jesus dude! I hope that’s not the reason there’s pee all over men’s bathrooms! I’m sorry I have to be the one to tell you this, but all you have to fucking do is pull back the skin. My god, how do you even leave a bathroom without your pants drenched in piss?? Or maybe you’re afraid to touch your own dick?
here, I’m going to end this crisis right now…
PULL BACK THE FORESKIN WHEN YOU PEE.
also, CLEAN YOUR DICK.
I can only imagine that if you don’t know how to pee properly, you probably don’t know how to clean properly…
sick.
