I just want a seat, why do so many places not have them

Women learn to pee on public toilets without sitting on them as kids. Just ask any woman for tips on how to achieve this.
You can use side walls to also brace yourself up.
There are techniques for every situation.

For a second I thought “Sitzpinkler” is one of the words from German they use in English because there is no acronym for, like kindergarten etc.

We could start to establish it as one…

Sure why not. But maybe shortened: sitpinkler or sitpinklar, easier to speak. Funny enough “sit” and “sitz” is the same and “pink” vs. “pinkel” not.

Another tourist trying to sit in the urinal?

I don’t always sit, but sometimes you just need a little rest ya know?

One less thing to clean and repair, I suppose.
I too am a sitzpinkler, but not in public restrooms. I just use the urinal.

Do you even squat?

Don’t get me started on the ones in the US and the Philippines, where they’re filled up like a teacup with toilet water so that you can accidentally dip the tip while trying to relax. And the Dutch ones with the inspection shelf? No thanks.

There are few “plateau plee” design toilets left. I actually like them, I find the deep sea bombing ones very unpleasant.

The “inspection shelf” rocks. Put down some sheets of toilet paper and go to town. Flushes down without any marks and no wet butt!

stop promoting paper waste and increasing the effort to treat the water

I like the inspection shelf.
It’s like marking your territory for the next user
