Urinal Etiquette
Men should ace this test ... women may have a little difficulty.
There IS a code of "Restroom Etiquette" that MUST be followed.
===============================================
The following is the
urinal configuration in a sample men's room.
An X above the number
will indicate "in use."
(Sample):
| | | x | | | x | (Indicates that urinals 3
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | and 6 are occupied.)
-------------------------
You are to identify correctly,
based on urinal etiquette, at
which stall you are to correctly stand.
Good luck!
--------------------
Easy Section
--------------------
1.)
| | x | | x | | | (Urinals 2 and 4 occupied.)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: ___
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 6
It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy
instinctively knows this.
===============================================
2.)
| x | | | | | | (Urinal 1 occupied.)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: ___
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 6
Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk
of being next to someone who arrives later.
===============================================
-------------------------
Kind of tricky Section:
-------------------------
3.)
| | | | | | | (empty)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
--------------------------
Your choice: ___
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 1 or 6
You are tacitly saying, "I don't want anyone next to me."
===============================================
4.)
| | x | | x | | x | (2, 4 and 6 occupied)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: ___
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 1
You're stuck being next to at least ONE guy, so you
minimize the impact and get a wall on your left. NEVER
go between TWO guys if you can help it. Exceptions
to this are stadium restrooms where the
herd thunders in.
===============================================
-----------------------------------------------
Subtle, tricky, but
important to know Section
-----------------------------------------------
5.)
| | x | | | x | x | (2, 5 and 6 occupied)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: __
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 4
Believe it or not, 1 and 3 "couples"
you with the guy in stall 2. And we
wouldn't want THAT now, would we?
This differs from question 4 in such a
subtle way that the nuances cannot be explained.
Suffice to say, only we men would understand!
===============================================
-----------------------------
VERY tricky indeed Section
-----------------------------
6.)
| x | x | | | x | x | (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: ___
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: NONE!
You go to the mirror and pretend to comb your hair or
straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" a bit more.
If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD, for god's sake!
... use a doored stall.
===============================================
Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals:
-- NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep
it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse.
-- I don't think I need to tellyou, absolutely NO touching of
anyone other than yourself. A touchof another's elbow is of
the highest offense.
-- NO Singing. Period. (includes whistling)
-- Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see
you there. I will not look again".
Thanks Cadder for sending me this.

Oh yeah???
You men!
So what do you think girls do when they find
the little girls room crowded with girlies and
their support groups, hairspray and beauty-
boxes? Pee our pants?
No Sir, we use the little boys room (whenever
there is one with regular toilet and a door to lock),
and yes, I have seen the pattern ;)
Only then it suddenly changes to either:
