The URINAL Code

http://www.funkypages.com/urinal/title.gif

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.

(Sample): You walk into a washroom and see the following urinals occupied. Where do you stand?

You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at which stall you are to correctly stand. Good luck!

Urinal 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk of being next to someone who arrives later.

Your choice: ___



Correct answer: 1 or 6
You are tacitly saying, "I don't want anyone next to me."

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.

(A suggestion from me, I suggest that if this happens, you go into the stalls to take a leak.)

Correct answer: 6
Believe it or not, 1 and 3 couples you with the guy in urinal 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!



(Again..I suggest you use the stall.)

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 tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is of the highest offense.
• NO Singing. Period.
• Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again."

were you inspired by maxim?

Would've helped if you numbered the urinals :rolleyes:

Yeah, you should always number your Urinals ;)

But, what if I need a dump?

Its numbered from left (1) to right (6)

I dont understand how you can get to urinal 6 in sample 5) though... Or is it a typo and #4 is correct?
