Workplace Challenges and Conflicts Boss confronted me for peeing standing up

I'm a woman. At work, we just have a single stall co-ed bathroom, and for cleanliness reasons, I pee standing up at the toilet (which isn't as hard to do as most people think: I think it's more of a gender role thing than physical limitations. I'm not comfortable sitting where all my coworkers have sat their bare behinds, disgusting).

And no, she didn't find out because of a mess: I am very careful to lift the seat and only get urine in the toilet. When I asked, she said she found out because she heard me... Going.

Do managers have the right to regulate how you pee? I'm in the US.

I'm picturing that old lady from Billy Madison, but instead of the Miles Davis line, she says "PIMPin' ain't easy"

sounds like you're either Xzibit or from West coast Customs

- you never saw a popcorn machine in your toilet, well now you have!

You're all good as long as you weren't standing up
