OK MEN. Time to play "What URINAL do you choose"?
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 08:51 AM by Yit
We have all been through this situation. You have five urinals. For this demonstration, from left to right we number them 1,2,3,4, and 5. You walk into the restroom and you see a man at urinal number 1. At the same time you see a man at urinal number 5. Which urinal do you use? Please feel free to come up with other situations and discuss the different possibilities. So that the women of the lounge don't feel left out, feel free to make fun of us men for having such "difficult" bathroom decisions.

2. Well, if you're my best friend,
You choose the one right next to me and you spend you time trying to peek over... :eyes:

I used to worry about him, but he's getting married next year, plus he does the same thing to his father. :wow:

10. Try this the next time he's peeking
Take a little turn of the hips and tinkle on his shoes. See how funny he thinks that is.

62. I don't think getting married
is necessarily cause to stop worrying. Besides, he might be gay--why worry about that? Penis-peeping is what men do, straight or gay.

9. Number 3 of course. Good thing you gave 5. If there was 4...
That would be a real puzzler. The middle of 5 gives you personal space. You have a row that has good spacing. Architects forget that guys can take up alot of space sometimes, and rather not be hitting shoulders, I wait.

11. If there were only 4
you wait until one is free. With five the answer is urinal 3 according to the RULES OF THE LATRINE by M. M. Man. Other rules - no talking, no looking down, no eye contact.

Please, take the time and teach a your boys these rules!

27. This is True: Here Are Those Rules
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 09:48 AM by GiovanniC
Rule #1: When all urinals are empty, choose the urinal most convenient or which provides the least amount of visibility to those entering the restroom.

Rule #2: When a urinal is occupied, choose the urinal furthest away from the occupied urinal.

Rule #3: If a bathroom includes three urinals and only the middle is free, you may not use it. This is known as a "buffer urinal". It is not for peeing in. Use a stall instead.

Rule #4: If you encounter a situation similar to Rule #3, and there are no available stalls, pee down your leg.

Rule #5: If there are five or more urinals and those on either end are occupied, you may choose any urinal provided that you allow for at least one buffer urinal on either side.

Rule #6: If there are only two urinals, either can be chosen but only one may be in use at any one time.

26. Your situation is to easy... Here's the real question...
Your at a sporting event/concert and all they have are the tubs... each tub is approx 10 feet long and there are already three to a tub (left end, middle and right end). and just to make it interesting lets assume stalls are full.

NOW, what do you do? is there enough room to split the end and the middle? or do you wait? what if a line starts behind you while your waiting?

D.H.

Imagine you are the only one in the restroom. Then take long shower when you get home. And never, I repeat, NEVER talk about it again!

Horror story...
I toured a manufacturing plant (Yeah, I know we don't
do that here anymore) years ago...

Every two hours the whole plant shut down for five minutes
for a "Rest Break".

Everyone, and I do mean *everyone*, headed for the lavatories.

This was long enough ago 99% of the workforce in the plant were
male.

Inside the one large sized industrial restroom there were three
stalls.

The urinals, however, consisted of 4 round, about 10' diameter
open "wells" with a fountain of continuously running rinsing
water running down a post in the center. The rim of the circle
had a tile edge about a foot high on it.

The workers would walk up to these circles and take care of
business. After the circumference of the circles were taken
up there was a line about 4 deep at each "space" along the
edge of the circular urinal. If you looked straight ahead
you could see the person directly in front of you.

Union, anyone?

39. It was a disaster of ergonomic dimensions...
I heard when this particular plant "re-tooled" and added
women grudgingly to their workforce. They also rebuilt the
bathrooms on a traditional pattern and implemented a "fire
at will" policy.

Worker productivity jumped like 60%.

Go figure.

35. I have two solutions:
1. Go to number 3, pull your pants and underwear all the way down
to your ankles. PUll your shirt up and tuck it under your chin.
Pee like this... no hands.


2. Stand behind the guy at number 1 and wait until he is done.

38. As a female I really need to ask this...
(why did I even come in this thread anyway?!?)

Why don't men's rooms just have all stalls? Whose brilliant idea was it to have gross urinals lined up where everyone can check each other out? Do guys get upset when women use the men's bathroom? Because I do that if the line for the womens is too long. I figure there's nothing in there I haven't seen.

49. The photo looks like a Marcel Duchamp retrospective.
Sorry. :evilgrin:

If the bathroom is equipped with a tall guy's urinal, *that's* the one I head for -- less spattering on the shoe-tops, to be overly frank.

My secret for overcoming "bashful kidneys" is to mentally run through the multiplication tables. Works every time. :hi:
