I never dry my hands when I've used a public toilet - I always wash them though. They dry naturally.

Once it's over the top it over and it flushes.
Also if there is not enough water flushed down often enough. The maintenance of the urinals out weights the savings (build up of crystals).

There's something I've always wanted to know. Why does (most) male urine smell so nasty compared with (most) female urine? Even blindfolded one could detect the difference if passing by or standing outside.

What are little boys made of? Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails That's what little boys are made of !" What are little girls made of? "Sugar and spice and all things nice That's what little girls are made of!"

I should have specified men. Boys' urine isn't offensive. I suppose it must be hormonal ... like sweat only worse ...

Well, there's what - a hundred million years or more of mammalian evolution, throughout which the (land-based ;-) mail animals have used urine for territorial marking.

I wish mine would try it; he seems to have a problem with postcodes.

Well most female urine goes straight into the pan and is flushed away. male urine gets splattered against a wall or inside a urinal that might get flushed occasionally. The smelliest gents tend to be of the wall type so I suspect it's the splash back and drips onto the floor immediatly in front of the trough that "mature" and start to smell.

I've always wondered why you put the courtesy boiled sweets in the urinal?

True, but I think most men are sufficiently house trained to flush when they have had a dump. Any drop in pressure will activate the valve.

That brings up another question.
Sorry if this is embarrassing to the gentlemen hereabouts.
Why do men (gentle or otherwise) always have to do it against something - wall, tree, wheel, fence, whatever? I mean, what's wrong with doing it into thin air (with your back to the wind of course so that you don't get your own back).
