The left. Wall is solid and you know that someone isn't dropping a bomb next to you.

This. I knew I always picked left, wasnt sure why. I mean, obviously not the middle, but between left and right I guess this is why youd pick left.

assuming noone is taking a dump in the first toilet you should always take the one furthest from the door : D

its most polite to not make the next guy in walk further.

maybe its only me that thinks about this....

I usually take the one at the opposite side of the door. The middle is a stupid choice, because if one more person want to piss, he is checkmate (you always have to have an empty urinal between two persons).

For some reason I tend to take the urinal near the stalls, unless someone is occupying the end stall. Then I'd go for the left.

This feels relevant.

I always pick the farthest from the door so usually the one next to the stalls. Keeps maximum spread and maximum distance between me and exposing myself to somebody haha.

The middle one. Dominant position.

Why the hell not?

Are you so scared that someone might look at your "junk."
Or that someone might think you wanna look at theirs?......

When I was a young kid my dad wasn't around, so I did get "concerned" about using the urinals when I was, say... Too old to go into the ladies with mum (lets say... 6) until I realized that in a mens toilet.....

1) Everyone has a penis.
2) Everyone needs to piss
3) No one wants to look at your dick any more than you wanna see theirs.

My answer for the first question was "left" due to reading from left to right.
It doesn't phase me
In fact, I don't know if its an Australian thing, but the majority of mens urinals are 1 stainless steel "trough/wall" so essentially, you're sharing a pissing space, regardless, and there is no stopping a "more friendly" stranger from standing in a gap left between yourself, and another patron.

See Here: http://mirror-us-ga1.gallery.hd.org/_exhibits/toilets/_more2007/_more09/gents-gentlemen-mens-well-kept-public-toilets-incluing-urinals-and-fancy-automated-wash-basins-all-white-tiles-and-stainless-steel-in-Tonbridge-Kent-England-1-DHD.jpg



Right on, bro, right on - some might call me socially retarded, but I totally agree with you. I say you're a pansy if you're that scared of using the middle urinal. I do it all the time.

I never cared much for arbitrary society standards anyway...they just suck all the character out of you and make you conform to a ton of needless trash.

You need a forth option: whichever one is furthest from any currently in use.

I've had this conversation many times with friends and its one of those thing comedians talk about when comparing men to women, guys tend to go AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE from anyone else in the washroom.

If its empty, I would always go to one end or the other, usually whichever is furthest from the entrance.

Also..... you look right at the wall in front of you, especially if someone is right next to you, this isn't homophobic (i'm Bi anyways), any man who says otherwise is lying..... its because if you look at the guy next to you can catch a glimpse of his manhood one of two things will happen....... you will either feel inadequate or you will laugh...... both outcomes are embarressing for one party and guys don't like being embarressed ;p

For me, as long as theres minimal "splashbacks" every urinal is fine.[image loading]
There is no such things as counters. Only responses. Good or bad? Up to you.

I always take a stall if there's one available - out of fear that the person after me would violate the rule of "not" taking the urinal right next to me.

I try to troll in real life with people I dont know so I go for the middle. As a follow up if someone comes in and uses one of the other two I will usually sway my hips to see if he tries to peek at my junk.

You have to take either the left or right so that if another person walks in they can leave a buffer zone urinal and minimize awkwardness. Taking the middle one is a dick move cause that way when other people walk in they're like oh great now I have to pee right next to this stranger.

I was at a bar the other day and went to the middle of three urinals. I had to pee really bad and the flow lasted for quite some time. Two people came in to pee and left before I was done. The first guy went right next to me without hesitation but the second guy went straight for the stall to pee.

Left, I like having the slight edge of privacy. Plus, I can lean against the wall if drunk.

This. It's just an unwritten law of men. You take the urinal that maximizes the potential amount of people using them, without letting anyone be next to each other.

The same thing occurs if you walk into a bathroom and see one guy at the left, and one at the right. Your options are:

1. Wait (preferred)
2. Walk straight, eyes on the wall. Open fly without looking. Do your business. About face. Walk to sink. Wash hands. Leave.
Don't worry. Taht's just Halo

I have never understood this whole urinal thing. Is it really that crucial for a guy?
Being female, I don't have to deal with that issue. Is it something do to with being afraid of the other guy accidentally peeing on you or something? I'm being completely serious. How is it awkward?

Why would you try to get them to peek at your junk?
