Subway question

[Pristila_GezelQ 381]

I was in the subway and I found a piss puddle in the floor. 

The question is from a male or a female? 

It could be from two or three days ago

[DoctorDoctor 1,391]

My guess is multiple pee sessions.  There are two obvious residual marks from someone standing and peeing against the wall (one against the tile wall to the left of the corner where it ran down to the floor and towards the left along the wall,  The other standing stain is just left of the seam on the black painted wood aimed towards the corner.  The pee ran down and to the right along where the wood met the floor.  I am guessing both from a male that was standing, but some women stand and pee against objects too.

There are also a bunch of stains on the floor.  No idea about the origin of those.  They are not clear.

More guesses?

That’s lot of piss from lots of people, men and women both.

In the image what is the difference between the male puddle and female puddle?

Good explication. Around that part of the station was smelling like fresh piss

[Alfresco 11,627]

I agree that it looks like it is a popular pee spot.   Could be that it is a convenient corner with just enough privacy to tempt people with a full bladder when they get off the train or when they are waiting for the train.   As others have said, probably a mix of men and women.   If there is a definite smell there then it is likely a regular spot that has been used for some time.   It would take several pees over time to build up the aroma.

[WetMart 1,128]

Yes I agree looks like a popular spot for both man and women to pee. 

[Adidas105 140]

It looks like the sort of place at night gets very busy with men and women. Stains on the wall mostly guys but if a woman can stand and piss and she's got clothes that will touch the ground if she squats will stand and aim at the wall I'm sure

If this is 125th, 59th or High st, those stains may very well be mine. I piss at these stations all the time in the course of my commutes to school, practice, work, etc. Usually in the early mornings or late at night.

[martan1258 208]

This place is a regular public toilet for both sexes. There is evidence of frequent use.

This place definitely needs a wash. With your pee of course 😄

I think these pissmarks are mainly from men. Because you can clearly see where the main spots are. Near the wall. Normally women piss facing away from the wall, men piss facing to the wall. So the nearer the main piss stains are to the wall, the more likely it is that men did this. Would the main piss spots be a foot or two away from the wall, then I would say women but here, nah just some hobo men.

I was recently in New York and although I was not near any of those stations, I definitely smelled piss at quite a few stations. I'm from nowhere near New York and was fascinated; its rather hot to me that you (and obviously others) obviously see peeing in the subway as a valid option. I found the subway stations to be quite crowded everywhere though -- when wanting to pee, what are typically some good spots to do it at stations? Are certain spots more routine than others?

[thisguy20 937]

Sadly, it is possible that those stains aren't pee.  Could be from water (or sewage) seeping though the walls and floor; could be from various liquids coming down the steps into the station when it rains, could be from where a no-longer present trashcan leaked...

Well they usually smell like piss so unless you’re accusing Pristila of having no sense of smell, it’s probably piss.

How do people do that without getting caught or reported?

[nygirl 695]

It’s NYC, people see and just don’t care. But usually I make an effort to go to the end of the platform where there aren’t many people, or stand behind a pillar/trashcan. 
 

I’ve blatantly pissed at the end of a platform late at night in view of a cleaning guy before I got on a train. He was obviously an ex-con, this being his probation job and didn’t give a fuck about the job. I started pissing on the wall, thinking I was alone, and he walked around the corner and said “Really?” I stopped quickly and was incredibly embarrassed and scared. I told him I couldn’t hold it. He said “There’s even a drain and you chose there?” He started spraying the small puddle. I started pissing on the drain. I didn’t look at him out of embarrassment, but I know he must’ve been shocked. After I was done pissing, he sprayed the area near the drain. I apologized and awkwardly waited for the train. I see him around the station still at night every now and then. He gives me a knowing look.

Can confirm that, aside from the out-of-towners, people in NYC only mind the business that pays them. And even then, as above, sometimes it’s just met with annoyance rather than actual punishment. I’ve seen men be entirely conspicuous about heading to one of those black container and standing in the corner head down for 30 or 45 seconds in the middle of a crowded station. Hell, there was a point where I was standing about 2 steps away from one minding my business (this was an above-ground station and I was near the railing, but it was under the overhang, if you’d understand that) and a woman asked me if I could take a few steps away because she had to pee, and intended to do so with it as cover. I did nothing, we swapped spots, and I decided to not to be a creep and focused entirely on my phone. Didn’t even try for a peripheral view. 
 

Although I do wonder what would have happened if I suggested being allowed to watch in exchange for giving up the spot.

I agree with the cleaning guy. If there is a drain nearby, make the cleaning guy's job easier and pee into it, He probably has to clean up those puddles multiple times a shift.

Do you regularly see people pissing in the stations? Ir at least puddles of pee? 

If its done in most stations and every day, the others will not care about it since its more tolerated

Yes, but maybe she wanted to do a big mess as she thought she was alone 😅

Nobody would blink an eye at a homeless, mentally-ill person pissing in the subway. You might get some sideways glances or slight sexual harassment if you seem to be a normal person doing it in the middle of the day with no attempt to hide it. It is usually a thing I do early in the morning or late at night when nobody can see, or if it's someone I feel won't record it. Most men go to the end of the platform and piss on the tracks, but I don't like the lack of privacy. I end up pissing in more destructive areas that offer coverage. Like between wall and trashcan, or wall and seats. Or behind a pillar. Or under the staircase.

I find that odd how many people put privacy above sanitation. I mean, for guys especially, it would be harmless to just stand at the curb and piss into a storm drain, but yet guys will go into someones store or apartment entrance and piss against a wall only to avoid being seen.

There can be unfortunate consequences to being seen. I'd piss more openly if there wasn't a risk of drawing unwanted confrontations or potential legal woes at stake.

Just seems odd that in such an enlightened society, where we all watch movies filled with nudity and sex scenes that it's such an issue to pee over a drain. Now don't get me wrong, I've always been terrified to do anything like that myself, but I find it so odd to learn that my mom is so nonchalant about it, especially guys doing so, and I'm beginning to see her point, what's the big deal?

[Hidengo 277]

Society just sees some parts of the body as inherently sexual, no matter what you’re doing with them.
