A question about Urinal etiquette

[yvr girl]

How do you know the rules? Does your dad give you a talk? Do you learn through observation?

[Guy Fawkes]

1. Instinct

Men have a lot of strange instincts.

[JohnKleeb]

2. You just learn it

[Jara sang]

3. Pick an imaginary spot on the wall...

And stare at like there is no tomorrow. Do not take your eyes off that spot.

[Guy Fawkes]

4. And if there is writing...

concentrate on every single letter until your head hurts.

[rug]

5. Never observe.

[CubsFan1982]

6. It's not really rocket science.

Unzip, whip it out, piss, keep your mouth shut and your eyes on your own, shake it once or twice (but not thrice, then you're playing with yourself), tuck it back in, zip up, wash hands, leave.

That's all you really need to know. :D

[yvr girl]

8. I have different plumbing, so my interest is

purely academic.

[CubsFan1982]

9. Well, just in case you ever decide to get a sex change.

I'm all about helping out. :P

10. I hear that at Wrigley it's mandatory

that you stare at the pecker of the fella pissing next to you. Since I refuse to set foot in that poor excuse for a ball park, I was wondering if this is an accurate statement. What say you?:evilgrin:

[Twillig]

7. 3 types of looks you can achieve

'dirty',(i.e., "you want your ass kicked?"), leering(i.e., "you want your dick sucked?), or indifferent.

Indifferent is the usual goal.

No talking about it is necessary.

11. The same way we know baseball.

[Tektonik]

12. It's instinct

The worst things you could probably do would have to be:

-having your pants and underwear down
-touching the person next to you (hand shake, pat on the back, etc.)
-looking down and to the side
-using no hands
-letting out long sighs and grunts
-striking up conversation with random people

I have seen more than two thirds of these in person :P

[steely]

15. yeah, those are good ones, then of course you have the rebels

-shut the lights off when they leave
-make loud noises (on purpose)
-sing
-leave religous literature in the stalls
-lob wet TP blobs into the stalls
-complain about the water temp.
-no hand washy (serious here)

[steely]

13. there once was a great interactive test that you could take.

you'd get a situation where, in a latrine with 4 urinals, 2 happened to be in use, which one do YOU choose - questions like that - cracks me up.

guess it's all about "space", and being polite, but not overtly so cuz that could come off wrong too - 'swierd yg

I hate it when someone tries starting a conversation when you on your way -

[Tektonik]

14. Yes maximum space between people is needed

In a line of 5 urinals, the end one farthest away from the stalls is the most desired, then the one closest to the stalls, then the middle one, and the other two will never be used unless the stalls are full. If you ever feel like being an asshole, go into a position where the next person who comes into piss will have to be next to you; some people would actually wait for a stall to open up before they go next to someone :P

[sparky_in_ma]

16. I'd have to go with instinct

No one ever taught me, I just knew.

[Jara sang]

19. Yes you are indoctrinated at an early age

that fear and intimidation are all a part of the game.

[Floogeldy]

17. It's okay . . .

. . . to glance at the penis of the guy standing next to you and laugh out loud.

B-)

[mitchum]

18. Never compliment or express sympathy

[GalleryGod]

20. We must be OUT of questions, Now.

:silly: :crazy: :think:

[JVS]

21. The idea that one is not to sit in the urinal is self-evident
