Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn't make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol

I will say the option to stand up is one of my favorite male privileges, but I'm also aware that such a petty thing to fav probably indicates my lack of perspective. But it is incredibly convenient in gross places and nowhere places.
I only stand in public at urinals.
Having to clean my own bathroom put a stop to the standing at home.
Takin up the one stall to pee when there are three urinals open and I gotta blast

Asks for one group to respond - gets the opposite.
They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you're somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.
We will make fun of how you hold a spoon. It doesn't mean anything, were just giving each other shit.

Wait, do you poop while standing up?
Don't tell me you're one of those scrubs who poops sitting down
The King James Bible has the phrase those who "pissith against the wall" several times. In context it's pejorative for the rude class or enemies of King David, but Christians who insist on the KJV struggle to read and understand it, and have taken it as God's own description of male. and therefore pissing standing up isn't just an aspect of masculinity, but it's essence.
I would never give a damn what others do in a bathroom, aside from: don't make a mess. (Or clean it yourself right then.)
I stand to pee and am observant that I do not make a mess. I aim such that there is no mess and am critical of cleanliness. If I had a miss, I would clean it then and there. I clean my own bathroom every week at least and do not see evidence of failure in my technique.
YMMV and that's ok. Worrying about others is a weird self esteem thing.
It's 3am and I'm not wearing my glasses or turning on the light.
when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
Clearing both lower ports from a sitting position isn't a problem. The problem is when one feels simultaneous urges to defecate and vomit. I'm fortunate enough for this to be a rare occurrence personally, but I do keep a mop bucket within reach of the toilet.
I got did this in an airbnb in Mexico once. They didn't charge extra to clean the wall.... Not sure why not
My sink is conveniently within reach. Can sit and shit and vomit.
Then if there's hugs splashes clean it all up with the bidet shower.
I actually can't pee with other people in the room, so public washrooms are a nightmare. But I learned that I can pee real easy in them while I'm sitting down to take a shit. So anytime I'm in one with other people, I just chill in the stall and pretend to take a shit. Might even fiddle with toilet paper after a while and flush just to keep the charade going.
Well, through that I learned that sitting to piss feels waayyyy fucking better. Especially in the middle of the night after crawling out of bed. I'm married, have a kid, and no longer care if people know I sometimes sit to pee.
Ugh, me, with a shy bladder, at intermission during Hamilton.
My eyes were turning yellow at Guns and Ships. Really thought I wouldn't make it. The line at the men's room was huge. Get in. Get to urinal. Can't.
Ugh.
End up leaving with bladder still full and getting back into line to get a stall and finish just in time. Couldn't even get another overpriced beer for the second act.
Catheter, adult diapers, or dehydrate yourself, haha. I hate places where there two urinals and one stall per 500 people during a 15 minute intermission.
I usually just dehydrate myself a bit if I know the restrooms are essentially out of service.
Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It's no worry if you're sitting down, but if you're standing up you might've just wet your pants... or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.
Do whatever the hell you want but don’t dirty my bathroom floor is my mindset.
Years ago a Psych episode had Burton say "all the men's health journals agree" that it's better for your circulation, and I never looked back (nor fact checked).
