What about this: Is unabashed FARTING acceptable behavior while pissing in a urinal? I have noticed this in the workplace and have always thought that farting and nose picking were reserved for the stalls.
Its when you leave the restroom that I find farting unappropriate, but anywhere in a restroom is fine.
Taking a whiz on a wall...there is no purpose! At least if you go into the stalls you have to take aim. Anyone can go against a wall, but an experienced whizzer will use all his precision to get it directly into the bowl with no spillage onto the floor.
Ugh... the lengths I'll go to to pad my posting average... http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41515&highlight=urinal+etiquette
Waitaminute. Back in elementary, the goal was to see who could pee the highest on the wall. Man, were we cool or what?
Well, are these urinals the regular basin type, or are they the big, long rectangular urinals which extend all the way down to the ground? I have trouble using most of the latter kind because I'm too tall. I'd have to bend at the knees to get low enough to get a proper angle. So, if those long ones are the only urinals available, I prefer to use a stall. I have no problem with the normal basin urinals, though.
Oh please. You don't have to sneak up to the door like James Bond to figure out what's going on in there. (i) the sound factor: taking a leak into a toilet makes noise. (ii) the time factor: 20 second stall visit = urination, longer = defecation. (iii) the feet factor: one casual glance at the stall doors from across the room will tell you all you need to know. If the feet are facing away from you, the dude is standing there ready to take a leak. If they're facing toward you, possibly with the pants down around the ankles, then it's poo-poo time. I don't know how secretive things are in women's bathrooms, but you can figure out what's going on in the men's room without even trying.
from what i've seen, its a whole other world in there... once, back in college, while studying on campus, I had the sudden urge to pee... i rushed into the bathroom and my foot smacked right into a couch! i was dumbfounded... i thought, "a couch, what the hell?" then i looked up and didn't see urinals... i quickly ran out and confirmed my belief... i had wandered into the female restrooms! couches in the bathroom? maybe its just me, but i don't want to lounge in a place where bodily functions flow like Cristal at a P.Diddy party!
Its called Paruresis and its a phobia of urinating around people (not just public restrooms). I find it pretty sad to call someone immature for the way they use the restroom. Damn, I wish I could use a public restroom muchless use a stall. deepellumrocket, check out this website. http://www.paruresis.org/
We used to do that to, in jr high. We had those long metal troughs and we used to stand at one end and see who could go the full length. I guess that was before guys started worrying about ppl seeing their stuff.. and yea nwo, this is one f-uped thread! thats why I post in it...
I know what you mean. Always been a stall man. Does anyone else think they should have the walls on the stall go all the way to the floor, so people can't see your legs? I heard they were thinking about doing that in Yankee Stadium.
For me, it depends on the height of the urinal. If it's right around mid-thigh level, I'm fine with using it. But if it's set up to be ADA compliant (which means it's about a foot off the floor), I use the stall toilet. I'd rather people think I'm schlong-shy than have piss spray all over the knees of my pants.
This could all boil down to urinal cakes. Urinal cakes really increase the spray-on-pants effect. Are there cakes in your school urinals? Maybe we should bring back the Osama urinal cakes! I think it was in Paris where the city decided to paint little flies in the urinals, and they found that the bathrooms were all dramatically cleaner. Supposedly, if you give us something to aim at, we guys get more piss into the urinal.
