I do the same, for stalls that is :)


Me too..strange isn't it.

as long as you hold on to the end you're safe, even though the paper is on the floor ;)

I usually go for the kid/short person urinal for the extra "leg room."

Also, I always wash my hands and then when leaving I use a paper towel to open the door. Too many guys take a leak and don't wash their hands, then the next thing they touch is the door handle... eewwww!!!

I read somewhere that something like 80% of the ppl will use a middle urinal/stall and so by default the ones on the ends are always cleaner :P

I have never understood why this is designed like this.
Why do men have to pee next to each other.
With a low cost solution it is simple to just put something between the toilets, giving a guy more privacy.
You don't see women toilets side by side, do you?

IMO the main reasons men don't pee side by side are:
1. You don't want others to stare at yours.
2. You don't want others to think that you are staring on them.

3. Splash-back
4. Awkward silences

Whichever is the closest to a straight line from the door. I usually have other things on my mind and making a choice of direction to turn to go to another would distract me. I just don't consider taking a leak to be a mental activity, and I am not likely to change my behavior based on the social issues of others.

I do however take the farthest from the (thankfully) rare individual that insists on standing at the urinal with his pants around his ankles -- bare ass for all to see.

The clean one?

An immediate remedy for the guy who picks the urinal right next to you while there is a whole row of empties, is to simply turn and offer your handshake, saying, "If we're gonna be this close, we should at least introduce ourselves." as you pee on his leg.

Guaranteed that he will NEVER do that to anyone again.

It's advisable that you assess the guy's potential to pound you into the ground before adopting this strategy.

I use the middle one....

i went to a concert this last summer and i have never witnessed what i had seen,
a women pee in a urinal, i swear on everything she stradled it and peed right into the urinal, she was 2 down from me, and the whole row of guys just were like, what the Fuc*
 05/11/2006 02:15:26 PM · #37
I'm thinking it would depend on how long I've been holding it. If I'm about to piss my pants, I think the closet sink might even be a likely target.

if I have to go to the toilet when I'm at a concert / party / cafe etc., I always go back to the same toilet (most of the time the left one) I was in before. When it's locked, I'll wait..

ain't that strange?
 05/11/2006 03:37:14 PM · #39
I would choose. The second from the door.

noodleboy, my freshman year of college, a girl got drunk and attempted to pee in a urinal in the guys' bathroom. she failed and got it all over herself, and strangely enough some people took pics of this... ahhhh... college...

Urinal laws are pretty clear in the U.S., but it's when you go abroad when things get strange. In Australia, for example, there are no urinals, just a wall to piss on. A couple of times at a clubs, too many guys had to pee and the wall just got too crowded. There was also always the really filthy part of the wall, and the clean part... but overall, I liked the wall because you just can't miss!

None of the above. Why use a urinal when there's a drain on the floor? :P
 05/11/2006 04:02:38 PM · #44
Drain? What do you use the sink for then??

Are their really guys who do this? I would bust out laughing at the poor soul.

I must say, being the only female in a house with 3 males gets interesting. Needless to say, I am ALWAYS checking the seat before I sit down.

Urinal walls are common here too. There are two types; the porcelain one that goes all the way to the ground, and the steel one that looks like a trough, that's about knee-high.

Which introduces a whole new dynamic in urinal etiquette. If you go to the corner where the drain is, the piss of all the people upstream flows past you. But if you go to the far corner, your piss flows past everyone else.

edit: 'trough', that's the word I was looking for - thanks bear.

in Iraq and Kuwait there is no uranals, there is a hole in the ground shaped like a toilet, and two foot holes to put your feet in, then there is NO NO toilet paper, just a little watter hose to wash off your hand after you use it to wipe your ass.

( I never did that just so you know) baby wipes are a soldiers friend,

Bears, as a rule, pee wherever they want to, but occasionally we are required to behave, so I have had occasion to observe urinal ettiquette/dynamics. It's my opinion that the main reason for spacing is to avoid splashback. Splashback can be a serious problem in the standard urinal. This is why ballbarls, where of course there's a lot of beer flowing, use troughs along the wall, I believe: hell of a lot less splashback from a trough.

I donno, I'm just a bear...

Well, at my house, we have rules to avoid this. Pink is for girls.

I always use a stall. I get stage fright easily and could be standing there a long time if people are constantly coming in, it's just easier to go in a stall.
