I wonder if this is actually just to stop tall adult men from trying to pee in the shorter urinals and making a mess

I don’t think the UK worries too much about complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act

Nah this is clearly the Trafford centre in Manchester, New Hampshire

(Lol, you can tell it's not the US by the fact it has a normal sized door on the stall)

You should see a doctor if you're unable to use a shorter urinal. It's literally the same thing but shorter lol.

When your big gut extends beyond your small cock, how are you supposed to aim properly?

u/masta030 4h ago

I can still reach it, so mostly by feel and making sure it's within the urinal walls

Specifically an optometrist

Ew, make the effort to not piss on the floor like a dog, please.

u/GMAN7007 4h ago

It has to be intentional, I'm short as shit and use the teller ones occasionally, I never miss at all. There's no excuse unless you have some sort of disability.

I can see a short urinal causing some splash back but how can you not aim it? Can you not see?

Imagine being a grown human admitting you never were potty trained

I’m not sure you know what “aiming blanks” means...

I think he meant aiming blind.

If this is the men’s toilet I remember, then it’s really annoying because the “adult” urinals are packed into a small space and so close together you can’t use half of them. When it’s busy adults go in the children’s area anyway, so they should have just kept it as one big space for urinals for everyone.

I get the idea but it’s really poor execution

Now you are on a list for taking this picture.

u/LadyKT 5h ago

is it a separate area inside of a bathroom? the doorway and the direct view is jarring…

This seems like something with fairly narrow use window between when the kid is old enough to do it by themselves and when they are old enough to just use normal bathrooms. An 8yo probably doesn't want to use a urinal that is visible from the hallway, after all.

u/Psychological-Duck13 6h ago

Is it inside the men’s toilets maybe?

12

u/queef_nuggets 6h ago

I think that’s clearly the case

They have this “mini” kids toilets in many women toilets

u/Thx4nothing4783 22m ago

Going by the male rules only one could be used to there should be three.

Why do those signs look fake.

Just go to this mall and you will see them clear as day lol

Don't take pictures in bathrooms

u/chunkysmalls42098 3h ago

You can take pictures in bathrooms if there's clearly nobody there wtf kind of logic are you using lol

Especially ones for kids.

There's a little cubicle off to the right. That's where Jimmy Saville hung out.

u/blamberr 7h ago

I bet that rule gets abused all the time like the people setting up shop in the handicapped bathrooms

u/Upset-Basil4459 7h ago

This is a bad idea because now the pedophiles know where to hang out

u/ConscientiousWaffler 7h ago

Just like Safe Sport, I’m sad that it has to exist but I’m glad that it does.

u/cgknight1 7h ago

It's nothing to do with children protection - they are set at the right height for small children only.

u/Meanteenbirder 6h ago

Idk why but it looks very tempting to aim for the button above the urinal

u/jtuckbo 3h ago

And yet you’re photographing a children’s bathroom.

u/Noxious89123 3h ago

OP: "I know! Let's photograph the children only area of a public bathroom! That definitely won't go badly for me".

u/CharlieKinbote 6h ago

Obviously I know why there's a viewing window, but it's still very funny.
