This is a rather bizarre topic, but I can actually contribute a relevant link for it! Dave Barry wrote about this very important issue in "Dave Barry's Guide To Guys." Here's a link to a site that has that portion of the book:

I read some sort of personality test thing as to what stall you pick, and I've tried to notice a trend in myself, but I always pick a different one, and I suppose it depends on the bathroom and the situation.
Also wanted to ask why you can't piss on a dirty urinal? are you afraid it's going to jump at you? Of course, I don't like peeing in a dirty toilet, and I've always wondered what the psychology is behind that...
And I just wanted to say that urine is steril (unless you have a UTI or something) and that your hands are not, and you pose a much greater risk of giving yourself an infection than your urine does to you. Also, paper seat covers are a waste of paper because in order to contract something from a toilet seat, you would have to have an open wound on your buttox and the seat would have to be soiled enough that you wouldn't sit on it anyway -- most germs die within seconds of being left in open air without protective blood/etc... These two ideas have been confirmed by multiple doctors and biology professors. just my two sense...
of course, I am very anti-germaphobe, my highschool bf's mother was a FREAK and I made it a point to not be a germaphobe and oddly enough, my sick rate has dramatically decreased. (i used to get strep throat all the time, etc --1st time in 2nd grade it turned to scarlet fever, but that's another story) so yep, rarely get sick and I assume it's cuz I don't religiously disinfect myself with anti bacterial stuff -- which is a whole nuther rant in itself |

This is a wierd topic for sure. I go to exreme lengths to never have to use a public restroom for anything. However, if I have to, I use the closest available urinal that is not next to someone else.

I'd use them all. Just so everyone knows this is my territory. |

I do the same, for stalls that is :) |
Me too. The idea being that people are more likely to take what's closest therefore the ones in the back are less used and (hopefully) cleaner.

My husband (tap10) used to work in the mines. He took this shot in the men's loo one day at work , he made very sure no-one was around at the time!
for those of you who can't quite read it, it says:
Do not tip anything down the urinal.
Do not clean boots in the urinal.
This was obviously enough of a problem to warrent a sign!!
Unbelievable!! |

Hey I've killed a bunch of threads, but usually I post something and then everyone ignores what I said and keeps posting... so if I had a tally of how many of my own posts I killed, the number would be much higher... hahaha... |

I always use the first stall. I saw a survey where they say that people will always pass up the first one and go on down to the others, therefore, making the first stall the cleanest...
CURSES! Now my secret is out!!
I'll NEVER trust the first stall again!! |

There's actually a chapter about women urinating while standing up in Kathleen Meyer's How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (ISBN 0898156270).

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... |
Clearly, she hasn't read that book. :)

Not all of the urinals here (Australia) are walls! In fact, the ones at Uluru (Ayer's Rock) even have a colourful bug painted onto the porcelain to give you something to aim at.

Armed with that knowledge, I'd still wont put my ass on dirty seats, lol! and yes guys, that splash-back thing is gross! I was at this public urinal once (porcelain) and this guy beside me splashed on my foot - it was gross, had to wash my foot in the sink afterwards! |

p.s. but what do you do when this happens? LOL
 |
Oh man, one time I accidently knocked the roll right off the holder and it made a paper trail all the way across the bathroom into a group of girls. Man, that was embarassing.

Much of that is true, but it is probable to get certain things off a toilet seat. The sterile urine thing...I would not trust anyone any further than I could throw an elephant. I work ED and you would not believe the amount of UTI's and people we see for it..not to mention that it constitutes AN EMERGENCY!!! (people still think that word reads "clinic.") Just that you never know who before you had one...unless they scream as they go....LOL.

I avoid public toilets at all costs.
I live in Belgium, but was brought up in England. In England we are taught ALWAYS to flush the toilet and wash your hands, neither of these happen in Belgium.
Also in England, while in a public toilet men do NOT talk to each other whilst in the toilet vicinity. Any time I've been in the toilets at work here in Belgium or public toilets, I always get somebody saying 'Hi, how are you?' whilst I'm relieving myself. |

Ever used one of those toilets with the automatic seat covers? I found them in an airport somewhere (I think Denver). They have plastic encasing the entire seat, you sit on the plastic and when the motion detector sees you leave it automatically pulls out an entire new length to cover the seat and shreds the old into a holding container. (It also has a manual button so you can do it yourself to make sure it is clean.)
It's never happened to me but could you imagine if that sucker saw motion and started pulling new plastic around under your buttock?! LOL It would either burn and squeal like crazy or spin you all the way around before you knew what happened. ROFLMAO!!! |
