F...People that take the middle urinal

hooskins · 09-04-2009, 03:32 PM

Ok so I am bored, but I am equally upset about this issue.

The building where I work has 3 urinals in the bathroom and a bunch of stalls. So I am clearly a noob at work, but I was always under the impression that it was standard male public bathroom policy to pick the side urinals first. Meaning if I come in to an empty bathroom, I should take the two side urinals over the middle one. Obviously if one is dirty or not functional, then we go for the middle.

I know it isn't that bad, but what I have noticed, if I am the only one in the bathroom and I pick the far left or right urinal, the next person that comes in sometimes takes the right next to me. Is that wrong that it kinda bugs me? Not in a homophobic way or anything, but more of a "get outta my personal space" way. I mean if the option is available why pic k a stall next to an occupied one?

Call me out if I am crazy haha...

No way man you're not crazy at all, you're simply upholding basic man-code which we're all supposed to be instrinsically born with.

When a dude violates the man code in such an egregious fashion, it makes me question his social intelligence and his manhood.

I'm with you all the way. Same thing applies to stalls when taking a grumper!

I'm with you 100%. I've always found public restrooms awkward and gross, and I definitely have personal space issues when in them. Also, I'm very much against dropping a deuce in a public restroom. It's got to be a serious emergency. I'm all about the home field.

It's funny you bring that up. Our office has 5 floors, our company being on the first. Whenever I need to drop a deuce, I go to the 3rd floor, as there is only one tiny office up there. The cleaning crew comes through around lunch, so right after lunch and 3rd floor is a quiet/clean place to do your thing.

But yeah you and Schneed, thanks for the support. I thought it was weird that I was bothered this much.

And this is law.

haha nice. Actually that is the way I pictured the logic in my head. One time the middle urinal was taken and I went to a stall.

I frequently do that.

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-04-2009, 04:11 PM

But when you do, TELL me that subconsciously you aren't thinking, "I bet the other guys in here are thinking that I need to hide my small willy."

Exactly that is the problem. Some idiot pisses in the wrong urinal and now it seems like you have a small willy.

Grr, I hate people who use the middle urinal...

JoeRedskin · 09-04-2009, 04:26 PM

Okay, at my work, we have 3 urinals - BUT the left urinal is the typical low urinal for kids (why, in a professional building w/out regular chilrdren visitors are one third of all urinals for kids, I have no clue). My feeling is that kid urinal is disqualified and that if both regulars are unoccupied you pick the one to the far wall. If it is occupied, it is okay to use the standard size middle rather than go straight to a stall or use the kiddy pisser.
The is a lot of space between the pissers so it's not like ur shoulder to shoulder (or even that close).

But in the example above, what effect, if any, would a kiddy pisser have?

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-04-2009, 04:27 PM

What cracks me up is the most is that we ALL think the same thing and when I do it I'm like, "I bet I'm the only weird one."

Also, does anyone else do the fake hand wash because you don't want to seen dirty? I HATE HATE HATE the soap in those bathrooms so I need to wash my hands in a real bathroom with real soap so if someone is there, at risk of looking disgusting, I'll just run them under water for maybe 2 seconds and then just throw away a piece of paper towel. Don't tell me I'm the only one.

JoeRedskin · 09-04-2009, 04:28 PM

^^ Ummmm, no. You are the only one. It is a problem. And now none of us will ever shake your hand again.

hm I know what you mean. I actually do the full soap wash I don't really mind.

Sometimes I get lazy, and I take the the hand sanitizer(yeah I know, sweet bathrooms).

It's the Parking Lot's final preseason thread. It's really got to advance its game, otherwise the whole thing is headed straight to the crapper.
