      Those are still in a lot of places here in the UK. Apparently it used to be common in a lot of countries for bars in pubs to be surrounded by a gutter with a drain at one end so guys could just piss and spit without having to leave their stool. I suppose when everybody smoked indoors the smell wouldn’t have been as much of a problem.

      Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

      Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

        Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women’s toilets, so she lined up at the men’s urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.
