Nope, they are there to keep the cigarette butts from clogging up the drain pipe and P trap. You can also use them to play games... from what I heard tell... :O)

Ive used urinals that had games in them, such as targets, and my personal favorite, pinwheels. Of course that was in a bowling alley. Real classy joint.

The P trap - how appropriately named...
I wish people wouldn't throw cigarette butts in the urinals.
Makes 'em soggy and hard to re-light. |

My neighbor friends and I have a "guys night out" about every 3 months and we go to this rock themed pizza & beer place (yeah, not like the guys night out places of our youth). Anyway, they had the place remodeled and have airbrushed flaming skulls painted on the toilets and urinals. We were in their last weekend and I took my P&S (no pun intended) into the bathroom and I was just getting ready to take a pic when this big burly guy walked in and I fumbled to stuff the camera back in my pocket. No pic. :(
Next time... |

| i have seriously wondered this myself. like, what is the best place to aim to minimize splashback? between the mesh? ignore the matt altogether and aim for the side wall under the ceramic lip? any pro techniques out there? |

| Definitely sidewall. Less direct impact. it just slides along the contour. Quieter that way also. |

To minimize splashback... one could try sitting on the toilet, at least so I've been told.

I'd have to disagree. Besides- we're talking about PUBLIC restrooms. :) |

Wouldn't a pinwheel send it flying in all directions? Random curiosity - I'm quite inexperienced in the art of the urinal. |

Art of the Urinal
Not sure if that is related to the user above you, or some new rock band...

funny you should mention that :-)
you know the little deoderizing, sanititzing cakes that they put in urinals? , in the Navy, we called those 'Officer's cookies'
...and, this is actually kind of on topic, because if you aim for the little gap underneath the officer's cookie, it will block the splashback. Of course, you have to have pretty good aim to get it in the little gap. |

if you do that, you'd be turning the art of taking a leak very much into a circus act, LOL! |
