Germany Is Attempting To Teach Men To Sit While Peeing And They Are Fighting Back

A Duesseldorf court has set a unique precedent - it has now ruled in favor of a man who almost lost his rental deposit because he had damaged the marble floor of the home he was renting. His landlord had attempted to partially hold his deposit because of the damage to the bathroom floor by uric acid - most probably from the urine splash of people standing and peeing.
"Someone who still practices this previously dominant custom is regularly confronted with significant disputes, particularly with female cohabitants," Judge Stefan Hank observed. "However normally he must not reckon with damage to the marble floor of a bathroom or guest toilet." But why did he say "previously dominant custom" Don't men stand and pee everywhere. Apparently Germany thinks differently. For one, they even have term for it. Stehpinklers (men who stand up to pee) vs. sitzpinklers (men who sit to pee) is a decade old debate in the country

There's even a bestselling toilet gadget that literally scolds men when they lift the seat to stand and pee. In the voice of former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, it announces: "Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don't want any trouble, you'd best sit down."
German feminists have even put up signs in restrooms: “Hier wird sitzend gepinkelt” (Here one pees sitting down) explaining the sanitary aspect of it because apparently a stray drops are too much for them. Some men don't like it - there are even Facebook groups of “Stehpinkler”
