As long as people don't piss on the head rest I am so down for this. Sometimes the stiff arm lean just isn't enough!

I wish someone would invent something that would allow a man to pee while sitting down.

I don't know if HOMERJAY is serious, but it's called a toilet.

OMFG! We totally had this in my fraternity house in college, and let me just say, they are just as brilliant as you would think. Of course we just ripped off the cushions of old broken chairs and screwed them to the wall, but when you're drunk and have to take a leak, they're a total life saver. When you can barely stand up because you're so drunk, leaning against a wall is surprisingly easy... just watch out for the smell...

@r_eye: I'm embarrassed for you...

@r_eye: I hope you weren't serious.

I saw this installed in a highend show home about 5 years ago...not sure how an upolstered piece of foam screwed to a wall can be patented?

I wish someone would invent something that lets me drink more beer yet pee less.
Maybe a pill you could pop before going to watch a big game so you don't have to go drain the main vein just before your team scores...

I wonder what '16' is?

I can see it now. Standing there with legs locked and head on the rest when some jerk taps the back of your knee just enough to buckle it and WHAM! Your face is a urinal cake. No thanks.

@ GOLDAAR

You do realize sweat is basically diluted pee. Even the sweat of a brow....

is this product targeting the highly lucrative 'drunken stumbling guy whose gotta pee' market?

also, i'd be willing to nailgun a padded brick to anyone's bathroom wall for the same price this is going for.

Is that for police stations? I know that's the only time I've had to pee with my hands behind my back.

@r_eye: are you feeling OK?

@homerjay: How about putting a chair in front of the urinal? Would it work?

add a built-in temple massager and i would increase my water consumption just to piss more.

yum - new lice transferal system. In a bathroom no less. I wonder which invention patent company sold this guy the kit, telling him his product "can't lose"

Why stop there? Why not put a finely sculpted porcelain rack for your shlong to hang off of while you pee to prevent fire-hosing when whizzing with no hands? How's about a urinal cake that makes orgasmic noises for your R. Kelly types out there?

Fuck it. I'm going back to my mobile catheter. Discrete and almost painless.

man...obviously you haven't been to Northeastern Brazil - and I'm sure that's not the only place that has these.

It weirded me out the first time I walked into a bathroom with one of them, but they definitely already exist. It looked like the faux-leather upholstery that you see on the back of restaurant chairs sometimes (you know, the ones that are usually red or black and have the big brass buttons spaced every few inches). More often than not, they weren't set up for individual urinals...the bathroom would have one long pisser and have one long headrest above it.

I'll even admit to tripodding it many a time - although none of that both-hands-behind-the-back crap. Always had the forearm between my head and the headrest.

I thought it was a headrest for the back of my head. This will make taking a dump in the urinal that much easier.

You can patent this? We had one above the urinal in my house at college that had been there since the early 90's.

to me it looks like a button you press with your head that flushes the toilet.

at least, that makes tons more sense than a headrest.

That's exactly what ours was, a chair back or seat bolted to the wall. It wasn't for you to use with your hands behind your back but to prevent any drunk guy from banging his head on the wall. Well that and as a joke.

Is it adjustable for people of different heights?

Is this a Japanese patent? They never fail to come up with absolutely absurd patents.

Before anyone talks about Japanese patents... they should know that "one click" purchase is patented by Amazon. So we are just as guilty for coming up with absurd patents.

Sorry, but assuming I could ignore the hygiene issue there is one fault I cannot overlook.

I refuse to rest my pretty head and dangle, all the while leaving myself open to attack by a Republican Senator!

Stalled in the stalls,
Mr.Bits

they should shape that headrest like a breast and put one of those janet jackson nipple stars on there for effect.

WTF? Does anyone really have a desire to touch more surfaces in a public restroom? Give me an invention that allows me to be further away and not get sprayed and I'm all in.

@Mr.bits: Classic! I laughed so hard I almost peed myself [pun partially intended].

The most disturbing thing about this is that line drawing - that guy clearly cannot do it with one arm behind his back.

@Mayor McRib: Awesome!

But seriously, R-eye is right. although I gotta say, american toilets are a bit small.

@Mr. Black: I'm not sure exactly what "16" is but it looks like the same pubic hair labeled as "B"

Looks more to me like he's trying to flush the urinal with the power of his mind. Of course, after a couple of beers, it stops working.

Also if you're worried about the hygiene of the wall, you should be worried about the hygiene of anything bolted to it. Particularly true if you've noticed how much grease is on most people's faces at the end of a day.

@homerjay:

Lol. Ah Homer, you brighten my day.
