What is the deal with the small urinal? What is the logic behind it? Is it completely political, because I do not see what purpose it serves.
I cannot picture the user intended for this engineering mistake. Certainly the person in a wheel-chair cannot urinate in the little urinal. He will use the wheel-chair accessible toilet facility, with built-in wall handles allowing for support. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) offers a guideline for architects to follow when designing buildings. Most employers follow these standards, and mine is one of them. Good for them!
If people in wheel-chairs cannot use the little urinal, and since this is an employer, assuming it is employing people of a working age (i.e. sixteen years or older), then we can assume the resources spent to build the little urinal surely are not intended for school-age children. So, this leaves us with little people as the intended, target market. Are little people, such as dwarves or midgets, the intended audience? Wouldn't they be irritated to know their employer built a special little urinal just for their little-people needs? I would be seriously pissed, if I were a little person. Isn't it bad enough with the annual mockery of little people during the Christmas season, dressed up in tights and pointy-toed shoes with bells?
If they are not the intended audience of the little urinal, then please tell me who is. The handicap accessible toilet should suffice in meeting the ADA standards. The little urinal is only drawing attention to the little person. Give them a break.

dood, the small one is for shorter humans, namely children.
No, it mustn't be for younger children. Why would a company invest resources in urinals that are targetted for the occasional office visit of children? That's ridiculous. I agree with the OP that these urinals are clearly targetted for the little people. The odds of little people using these urinals is less than children, but if a little person has the choice for his dwarf-sized urinal, the company truly wins respect.
Heck no. Its for when you come to work hammered and cant stand at the tall one. You can saunter up on your knees, rest your spinning head on the arm you have tossed over the chrome valve parts. Your coworkers can walk in, find ya passed out with your pants around your ankles and your upper jaw hooked onto the chrome parts...or worse..your hand resting on the flush handle, and your head in the porcelain parts.
