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?

I notice that a lot of urinals in the U.S. splash back and then onto the floor. so even though no one has pissed on the floor it looks like people have.
I pee on floors in public bathrooms. its cuz i know i don’t have to clean it up and its not my bathroom so who cares.
I’m astounded by the people admitting to this gross practice. People are just generally selfish, meaning that they don’t care about anyone else that might come after them.
Here are a couple other questions I’d like to see asked:
1. Why do some men use the stall to pee standing up when there are urinals available?
2. Why would a man pee in a stall standing up with the seat down? Do you really think your aim is that good? Is it that much trouble to use your foot to push the seat up?
Thanks for the article.
Si no hay papel, con que se limpian el poto?
they do it for the lulz, i know i do
I think you are mistaken… The person next to you wasn’t giving you a dirty look for pissing on the floor, but the fact you were pissing on his shoes.
Just be thankful he didn’t beat the living crap out of you. =)
This just shows that Peruvians are smart enough to make a sign about it! (and *shock* it isn’t even advertising something)
‘Stream flow’ and ‘wang length’ have nothing to do with one another, just like shoe size and hand size have nothing to do with ‘wang length’ (your eloquent phrase, not mine). I’m a true 7″. I also have a small bladder and am under 6′ tall. Hell, maybe it’s to my benefit for those I do get in bed, as they’re more surprised, expecting me to have a 4″ cock!
In india we have no such problem, mens urinals are a wall with a small gutter( a ridged alley) that does not allow the pee to come where you are standing, so go ahead draw your name on the wall or play sharp shooters.
No. Men in the US do not know where to pee either, nor do they wash their hands.
One of my pet peeves is the failure of others to wash their hands after using the restrooms at the office. They may argue that they don’t “get any on their hands”, but if their touching their junk then leaving without washing they might as well walk around the office rubbing their cocks on all the door handles, elevator buttons, staplers, handsets or perhaps even whip it out the next time someone offers to shake their hand.
Disgusting people. They’d be ashamed about not washing if they knew other people knew.
