That was a truly awkward moment. I love that male bathroom etiquitte is such that someone picking the "wrong" urinal is memorable years later. :D On March 18 2011 09:08 skypig wrote: Well I can tell you that, judging from the poll, 93% of men have been pissed at you for it - you just never realised because you're socially oblivious. No-one is going to SAY anything to you of course, they're just going to quietly judge you as being a weirdo. Besides, saying something would further break another unspoken rule of the bathroom; that strangers should under no circumstances speak or make eye contact near the toilets.Wow...as the OP, I can say that this thread has taught me stuff I was totally not aware of. I had no idea that picking the middle urinal was that big a deal...I do it all the time, and I've never had anyone get pissed at me for it. EDIT: left, obviously. | ||

There were three stalls, one of which was made to appear broken (marked X), with two conditions. a) [ ] [X] [ ] b) [ ] [ ] [X] Now, for 1/3 of peers a buddy of the experimenter entered the bathroom shorty after them, taking the free urinal as seen in condition a). For another thrird, the buddy of the experimenter took the free urinal as in condition b). The final third of participants was lucky. They were the control condition and were allowed to pee all alone. Results: - presence of others makes you take longer to start and you pee smaller amounts - the closer the other person is the worse it gets tl;dr: Science supports bathroom etiquitte, maximize distance! | ||

Do you go and use the middle one? Poll: Do you go and use the middle? No (24) Yes (15) 39 total votes Your vote: Do you go and use the middle? btw i voted left. right and left same thing but i never go middle to avoid this exact scenario Serious?! 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.

Numerous people have written something along these lines... it's not about "fear", or that you're worried about people looking at your genitals, or that you're worried that THEY'RE worried you're going to look at theirs or anything like that. We're not nervous or frightened, it's just socially awkward for most people - it's just not what you do. Like if you were to get on a bus that's completely empty apart from one person, you're not going to go and sit on the seat right next to them. You just don't do it. It's the same situation in the bathrooms, but to add to the social awkwardness that stranger has his cock out. | ||

You just don't do it. It's the same situation in the bathrooms, but to add to the social awkwardness that stranger has his cock out. Only in this case, the bus is completely full, and there is 1 seat remaining. In my opinion, its worse NOT to take the seat, or not to take the middle urinal. What you're saying by refusing a perfectly functional seat/urinal is "You, there, you're a creep. I don't trust you." In my opinion, its worse not to take the seat/urinal. Sure, I don't enjoy standing around with my dick out next to OTHER dudes with their dick out... But.... Pissing is essential. Everyone does it. Almost like breastfeeding in a public cafe/restaurant.... Its an awkward situation for all involved, but see past it. Its primal. Its essential. | ||

Lol in all honesty I can't answer the original poll though, because in every situation I won't ever find urinals that are exactly the same. There will always be some situational factor that influences my decision. | ||

How fucking stupid is it to stand around and wait when there's an empty urinal right there but you're 'not allowed' to use it. lmao | ||
