No hands

I went into the bathroom earlier today and there was a guy standing at the urinal with both hands clasped firmly behind his back, going about his business on the other side - sans hands.

He looked straight out of one of those NASA films back in the Apollo 13 days - buzzcut, short sleeve engineer shirt, polyester pants, thick glasses.

For some reason, something about this overall image greatly amused me. I believe it was his sense of purpose.

Did he... have some sort of aiming device like a pervert engineer would build... or was he like straddling the urinal, or... I can't picture how this would work.

I didn't look too closely in that respect, but it did seem like there was a high chance of getting his pants wet with both hands behind his back.

I can only assume he has practiced this many times and was showing off, much in the way that kids do on bikes.

He's probably hoping this will keep aerosolized urine from landing on his hands so he doesn't have to wash them.

If you aren't sick, then there is no DNA type contamination in urine, and it is sterile - that mixed with the ammonia from the urea in there, you could make an argument towards its cleansing properties.
Not that I would be a proponent of pissing on oneself or others.

I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've seen someone so very purposely peeing with hands locked behind them - had to be careful not to laugh. (or push/pull him)
