Pretty much this. I generally just try to stay as far away from other penises as i can. I get really annoyed if someone stands right next to me even though he doesnt have to

I take the middle because they are generally the cleanest.

Middle, like a baws.

i take the closest one to me provided the farther one does not offer a buffer advantage. why would left or right matter? also, if there are dividers then i don't worry about buffer

I take the first available one that isn't right next to someone. If that isn't the case then I just take the first available one and stare at the wall akwardly.

taking the middle is severe mad-code violation left or right only

The public washroom I use most often has this layout...

In order of preference:
Green - only 2 sides of exposure. People turning into the area see my back and only my back, regardless of which urinal they go to. Also, closest to the sinks if you only consider the "good" spots
Blue - only 2 sides of exposure but it's more exposed than Green. Not a bad choice.
Yellow - Not great. 2 sides of exposure but it's even more exposed than Blue when people are turning that corner.
The other 2 are a last resort. Particularly the bottom one.

Green has poor peripheral vision of the sinks etc, I think top left corner seems best - good visibility and a long walk through open terrain from any entrance point.

i love how in depth this thread is regarding urinal usage, it's like a science. women don't have anything on us.

xkcd has a blog about urinal math: while 3 and 5 urinals are efficient, 7 is an extremely awkward number as 4 urinals remain open if standard filling is used

Does no one pee in the sink? It's the best and cleanest spot by far.

I don't really care, but I'm going with the, "more room," thing. So, I'd prolly go Middle.
I don't get stage-fright very much (unless they're really creeping on me...), so I don't need the left, and the right has the risk of a terrible smell...

I'd take the left one even though I've read several times that usually the closest one to the door is the cleanest one

The one that's closest to me. Not particularly picky about positioning. As long as I can pee.

i take either left or right, which should have definitely been a choice, no one likes to piss in the middle of two other dudes, unless you went to college and played sports getting nude around strangers might not be an issue, but for me, i go to the stalls, not the urinals, i mean i piss in a toilet at home behind closed doors, i know there is shame in not pissing in a urinal because of being too pussy, but one time a man said the very same thing i just said about pissing in the toilets, and now even if the urinals are empty i piss in the toilet, since its my natural pee place. :D hahaha,

why was there no TOILET selection?

I have a serious question, has anyone ever walked into a bathroom only to have the middle one unopen so you pretend you came it only wash your hands? Sounds really dumb and awkward lolbut I fall to this, it's either that or I don't piss and stand awkwardly hoping noone notices t.t
