wanting some personal space while doing a very private activity is homophobic?

Do you let people watch you take a dump? Wouldn't it make you feel...uncomfortable, regardless of gender?
 
avoiding too much shaking of course, make sure that you shake adequately so you do have the "after-drip" effect in your pants

when in the dorms it is understood that crapper conversation is normal. I actually dont mind. It helps pass the time on those longer trips.
 
Flush when you are finished. Your ****** is not my business.

I don't know how many times I've gone into a stall after someone and been greeted by a full bowl. >.<
 
for reference you may only use the urinal next to someone when there are no open slots available AND there are dividers
no dividers = no peeing one over from another person
 
i was in italy. first rule was "pay up!"
even the mcdonald's charged me 25cents euro. that's AFTER i bought some french fries. :|
 
Instead of reading the whole thread, here is what I've learned of the unwritten rules:

1. 1/3/5 rule for urinals
2. If the one slot is occupied, you must go to the 5. Only use the 3 slot when 1 and 5 are taken
3. No talking unless it is a really good friend
4. Don't look around while relieving yourself
5. Rules 1 through 3 do not apply when at a sporting event and all available toilets are taken.

I HATED that about Europe. No wonder everyone pees on the walls instead.
 
any of you had experiences in the urinals where the guy is a heavy breather... almost as if he's doing something OTHER than peeing?

i cant count how many times while i was in the stall and heard the person outside relieving himself in the urinal going "oohhhhh" and "aaahhhh" and other heavy breathing that makes me shudder
 
i hate it when there is a line of very impatient people behind because without fail everytime i get stage fright, and piss people off because of how long it takes me to pee

on the same trip, i was near the Red light district in Amsterdam with my gf, and i was shocked to see that there are public urinals on the streets... literally on the corner of the street! 2 crescent shaped walls interlocked to form a urinal, you can see the guy;s legs and his pee! i told my gf to look and she was shocked!!!
 
I get pretty frustrated when it comes to bathroom etiquette.

1. Lift the seat if you have to use a toilet. I'd rather drink bleach and brake fluid than sit in your piss.
2. No food or drink.
3. Shut the fcuk up. No matter what I'm doing in the restroom, I want peace. I don't care if your fckuing dick's on fire.
4. Wash your hands. I don't want to share a door knob with the burrito you ate yesterday.

When urinating it is only appropriate to look straight down or straight ahead. Under no circumstances are you to look over to your left or right especially if there is someone next to you.

I disagree. If you're against a wall (i.e. in a corner), it's perfectly acceptable to look at that wall, especially to read the wonderful graffitti.
