Male Restroom Etiquette video - Vidly

It's done using the Sims. While not a fan of the Sims, the way the video is done was like an old information video. Pretty humorous.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

They didn't completely cover etiquette for the bathroom stalls. If someone's already in the end stall for instance, don't go to the one right next to it to drop a deuce. Not cool.

Here's another Youtube link on a similar topic. I love this one. I think the original in Australian (which I can't find). THis one is dubbed in French, but it's a visual joke anyway.

Isn't there a caveot for in-between innings at a ball game? One that allows for all urinals to be in simultaneous use? If not, then pretty much all ballparks are breaking the social contract..

I don't mind urinals though I hate it if I get pee shy. Used to happen more than it doe snow. That said the other day I was using a urinal and some drunk guy comes up beside me and is like, "Well some things don't shrink in the cold" and I was like... AHHHH and ran out. Sorry creepy old should not be allowed to say things like that in the bathroom. And if you're a creepy old guy don't put your towel around your shoulders and start talking to me in the change room at the gym!

Case 1:
A( ) B( ) C(X) D( ) E(X) F( )
In this situation, A is the obvious choice. If you don't immediately see that on your own, maybe you should ask yourself if you're really in the appropriate restroom.

Case 2:
A(X) B( ) C( ) D( ) E( ) F( )
The best choice here is F, but E works, too. Both are far enough away from A, but at F you're less likely to end up next to a guy who doesn't know what he's doing.

Case 3:
A( ) B( ) C( ) D( ) E( ) F( )
You might think it doesn't matter here, when actually 2 factors come into play. A is a good choice, as you're next to a wall and thus half as likely to have an incoming neighbor than in any of B-E. But if you know your men's room layouts, you'll know that F is a better choice for the well-endowed man. This point is moot in the case of shoulder-to-floor style pissers, but you all know that when you're facing suspended wall-mounted pissers, F is the kiddy korner. This means that F is down around knee-level, where the well-endowed man hangs naturally.

Case 4:
A( ) B(X) C( ) D(X) E( ) F(X)
There's no avoiding a neighbor in this case, but choice A has only one neighbor instead of two, and so is the preferred choice.

Case 5:
A( ) B(X) C( ) D( ) E(X) F(X)
This may be seen as splitting hairs, but choices A or C somehow connote choosing to be next to man B, which is frowned upon in male urinal rituals. The only remaining choice is D.

Case 6:
A(X) B(X) C( ) D( ) E(X) F(X)
There's really no correct urinal choice in this case. All you can do is to pretend like you never really had to go. Go to the sinks, check your hair, wash your hands, and leave. You can come back before it gets urgent. If you're in an urgent situation and face case 6, continue walking and choose a real stall, where you can do your business behind a closed door.

That's pretty damn funny, actually. I speak enough French so I understand what they're saying. Funny.
