When the plumber installs it too high so you gotta get creative
If I was a cleaner that one would stay yucky…and the ones next to it.
You can practice urinating while on tall cliffs in your spare time. Don't all climbing gyms have these? lol
Taking the pissing contest to a whole new height. Thank you, I'll see myself out.

the important thing is that the urinal needs a water supply and a drain. different from all the others. this joke is thought out and well planned so that's why I vote up
As a rock climber, even though they do have hand holds, the average person couldn’t hold those. Those are crimps, which are basically tiny hand holds. And depending on how tall you are, you would have to actually grab onto the urinal and use the rocks as footholds. You’re better off pissing from the ground honestly.
There was a time when I was a boy that I could have made that... But time takes it's toll.
This is such a bad idea because you know SOMEONE is definitely going to attempt it.
It's not in'stalled', it's on-the- wall....open sit

But context plays an important role. In communication, it is crucial. You can't go a day without someone communicating with you. In those moments, it's really important for the message we get to be clear and easy to understand. It's quite frustrating to hear something that doesn't make sense! So, how do we make sure others understand what we're saying? We give our messages context.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, context is defined as “the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.” We'll give you an example: "I'm sorry" and "My bad" mean the same thing... unless you're at a funeral.
Human languages are naturally full of vagueness and uncertainty. Even professionals like lawyers and engineers can't use language in a way that's so clear that it can't be understood differently from what was intended. Think about the phrase "I can't do that." Whenever you stress a different word in that sentence, the meaning shifts. "I can’t do that" means something different from "I can’t do that." The sentence means different things when said by someone about to parachute from a plane compared to someone asked to lift a car.
There are some ways to create context for effective communication. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes—not literally, of course (see what we did there?). Imagine the other person hearing your words for the first time. If you were in their position, what information would be necessary to understand the message? Is there any crucial background you should share? Would explaining how you reached a certain conclusion provide perspective?
People may not remember your exact words, but they'll remember how you said them. It's important to match your body language and voice with your message, especially in virtual conversations where only your voice is heard. Make sure your tone fits what you're saying.

I'd probably be more annoyed at the white car's parking. At least the canoe is in 1 spot
Be prepared to respond to questions without making assumptions. Avoid becoming defensive and keep in mind that people have different ways of thinking and interpreting. After all, that's why context is necessary in the first place, isn't it?
The best way to communicate is by sharing information. Use open-ended questions and allow space for the message to be clarified. Then, confirm or make corrections to ensure your intended message gets across effectively.
