I still don't understand the red urinals, they make such a mess when you use them.

Every woman I've explained this to thinks it's ridiculous. They actually choose stalls next to each other in case they need toilet paper or something.

And they talk in the bathroom. To strangers. What the hell is up with that?

It's needed just in case.

I can't believe no one has posted the xkcd writeup on the International Choice of Urinal Protocol (ICUP) in this thread yet.

There is always that one dude who walks into a bathroom, sees a row of 20 urinals with only one person using them, and goes to the one right next to him. That guy also has a tendency to turn his head to look at you and try to strike up a conversation.

Bluntly, those are not the same picture. As a dude, I see a couple of important things right away. Most importantly, there's dividers between the urinals in the second picture.

If there's room, I'll still leave a gap, but with no dividers, if there isn't room to leave a gap, depending on the spacing of the urinals, I might just want to wait until there can be a gap. With dividers, I probably won't. It's still not ideal, but dividers make it much more palatable.

Always curious about this: how do you guys feel about talking while washing hands? Acceptable? Not?

Americans are funny about this. Sure you don't go next to someone if there is space but you wouldn't not use one.

I was talking a piss in a bar in America and cracked up a conversation with the guy next to me and realised he found it very unusual. I said (at the sinks) that doesn't happen here much does it? He goes no does it happen back home? I was like yea sure if you're drunk. Americans seem too worried if you're gay but who doesn't love a bit of straight guy on straight guy homoeroticism every now and then (not that pissing next to someone is).

Also trough is the best when there is a fuckload of people like at a stadium otherwise it takes for ever. The guys that use the cubical for a piss and hold everyone up are wankers. Though I once called a guy out on it at work and he said "I don't know what it is! I just can't pee around people! I've tried, it's not like I'm embarrassed. I'll show you my ddick if you want, I don't care I just can't pee next to someone." I almost pissed over myself I was laughing so much.

What are people's thoughts about the children's size urinal? Never use it if there's another option? Only use it if the other option would place you adjacent to another person? What about if you have a choice between adult and child's urinals next to each other, but using the child's urinal would allow space for another person to optimally avoid neighboring persons?

I feel like this is a variant of the trolley problem that's woefully unexplored.

My new favourite is people talking on the phone while letting off absolute bomb in public washroom stalls, some even on speaker phone.

My second are those that come in playing their music on phone speaker for all of us to hear their jams.

Not sure if this is better than those that do it on a nature trails but all groups should be forced to have music speaker phone battles while bears and wolves eat them all...

Not in gay bars

This is an American thing, right? what the hell are those? i.e. context plz
