PSA: Public washroom etitquette (again)

[StageLeft]

Scenario: public bathroom with two urinals which do not have a divider between them. Next to them is 4 stalls.

Rule #1: If somebody is at a urinal you are absolutely forbidden from going to the urinal next to them unless all 4 stalls are being used. If there is a remaining stall, please lift the lid up and use it instead

Rule #2: If somebody is using a stall and the other three are empty, you must leave at least one buffer-stall between you both. If they are in 1 or 2, you go to 3 or 4, respectively. There is no need to sit next to them when a buffer-stall is available.

If you're reading this and you don't agree, well get a clue. 95% of males understand these rules, but I continue to see fully grown supposedly adjusted adults who've no qualms about breaking them. The first rule is important, and the second is golden.

The ones that pick the stall next to you are hoping for a... failure in stall wall integrity.

Doesn't bother me too much as long as it's look but not touch

There's no confusion quite like that when you're at a stall and somebody sits down next to you, as if they want to be comfy when they take their #2, instead of having any semblance of privacy offered by going a stall or two further down the line. It's worrisome.

LOL

I disagree with rule #1.

I *completely* agree and use rule #2 to the fullest.

How the hell can you disagree with #1 but agree/practice #2? :Q

Because I don't think it is that big of a deal for #1 because it is quick. It should be mentioned that the second person joining the urinal should turn a bit at the urinal so more of his back is to you.

Sorry, rule #1 does not exist. An open urinal can be used before going to a stall.

#2, of course, is universal.

Geez, I was beginning to think I was the only one with this opinion...

 

[Viperoni]

I agree with both and consider the people who don't practice #1 wierd.

1. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors? urinal
2. Thou shall space thyselves evenly

We actually came up with 10 in HS but I forgot the rest. We tapped them to the wall; I was in there when a teacher found it. I caught him laughing. I wish I still had them.

I really don't care where I crap and where someone else has to crap... I just know when I gotta go... I gotta go. And if someone else wants to be near my stench, go right ahead. The urinal thing shouldn't really even be an issue AT ALL.

 

[TubStain]

Jesus man...what are you scared of? It's a fricken piss! Your feelings are hurt when someone takes a piss in the OPEN urinal next to you? Be a man, take that piss and rip a fart while you are at it.

 

[SagaLore]

What is this "washroom" you speak of?

 

[StageLeft]

It does exist, as evidenced by the "95%" of guys at my building who follow the rule to a T.

 

[Jzero]

Corollary to rule #2:
KEEP IT DOWN!
I don't want to hear you play "Bheetoven's Fifth Symphony."

 

[dman]

Rule #3: Wash your hands before leaving the washroom. With Soap. Even if you didn't miss.

/Less people know about that one.

In a restroom with 6 urinals, I'm going to the urinal next to you and the chances are pretty good I'm going to piss on your leg.

I suppose it could be one of those quaint "southern" customs, like eating raccoons, or making people squeal like a pig.

 

[thomsbrain]

i can handle the stall thing but i don't like peeing in a urinal right next to someone.

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Skoorb has major bathroom issues...
Then again, I pity the person next to him in the stall! Skoorb has the power to scare anyone away with his a$$!
