Several reasons...

1. Entertainment purposes...makes a fun game.
2. Melting ice conserves slowly "flushes" the urinal.
3. Chilling the urine can help keep odors down.
4. It's a convenient place to dump ice when you're done with it.


it was fun...
 
Depends on whether you have a foreskin or not. Those with should aim for the bottom and begin slow as you can't quite be sure where those first few drops are going to end up if you start with a cannon volley. Those without can just aim at the back and fire :)
 
I do a bit of both, brings excitement to my life, I like my life to be 'full of ups and downs' :p
 
If there's no one else using it I go straight for the drain to minimise sprinklage. If I don't have that privilage I just let it go against the back part.

Funny thing happened me last night actually. I was in the pub after a few drinks and I was standing in between two guys at the urinal. I badly needed to fart beforehand but seen as I wasn't alone I had to try and hold it in. Ever try pissing and holding in a fart at the same time? It's physicly impossible as far as I'm concerned, and I ended up letting rip the biggest rasper I've ever heard. The two guys I was standing next to burst out laughing lol. This also made me really nervous and gave me stage fright. Took me around 5 minutes to get it out lmao.
 
I rarely use urinals, and when I do I aim for urinal cake. The best are the red ones, cause if you go hard enough your pee turns red (in the bowl, not before it comes out, thank God), which is a far better color than yellow.

I rarely have had splashing problems, I just prefer the stall for some reason. I'm not self concious but I guess I just prefer privacy. Except when I am drunk. Then I can pee anywhere, including on fires that have intentionally been set but are now out of control. Long story.
 
Stand a bit away from either side and out from the wall, aim fairly high (over the running water) and turn a bit sideways, so you don't stand 90° on the urinal, get at least 60°, preferably 45° or even 30° angle (can be awkward if there's others around, but then most of the times I'm using a urinal I'm drunk enough to don't give a damn... :D).
 
I always aim for the side, where it curves in (on the individual ones), less chance of the dreaded splash-back :)

YES! i heard about this, people installed them in their public bathrooms and there wasnt so much...... "miss-age"


ahaha I remember a few weeks ago I killed a spider in the bathroom and threw the toilet paper with the squished spider in it into the toilette. I then went to the bathroom whilst aiming at the TP and lo and behold the spider drifted free and freaked me out. Not a good thing to happen while peeing, but it did end up presenting a good target.
 
Toilets that bother me the most are those that can be occasionally be found in all-female offices/homes. They have the seat that won't stay up.

And the worst ones stay up for about 20 seconds... and start slamming down just as you've started. I now make it a habit to check the seat has sufficient inclination to stay back by itself.

Interestingly enough, this was cause for the ol' "one-leg" trick. Much fun. Requires skilled balancing.

I aim for the back... less chance of urine ricocheting back at me if I get my stream hitting the porcelain at a shallow angle.
 
Go on the wall! Usually there is a "lip" around the edges or sides of the urinal where you can aim just behind it in the crease.

Sounds dirty, but it really is. :)
