Y'all missed the joke.

It's because all the stalls fall between urinals, and the mens bathroom code states that you never take an unoccupied urinal between two other guys.

If that is the joke, then it is a stupid one. Men only avoid taking adjacent urinals if they are just next to each other with no walls between them. As long as there is a wall between the urinals, most men are fine with taking adjacent urinals.

Even with the partition one still gets skipped and a 3rd person will fill it.

u/MiffedMouse 12h ago

Depends. My office has three urinals, but the third one is lowered to a kid's height. Typically the first two urinals fill up first, because they are at an adult height, and the third one last.

Nah ill take the short one over going straight to being right next to someone. Unless there is no other option...

Meanwhile my coworker got in trouble because he was commenting on the boss' fingernails when they were both using the divided urinals...

i genuinely don't care about standing next to someone at a urinal but i absolutely fucking hate when they (especially a stranger) drop a comment about your cock, it makes me feel very unsafe. wouldn't be surprised if people have been shot over shit like that

Wait, has that happened? I've been peeing for almost 50 years now and no one's said anything, nor have I taken a peek to see my competition.

u/ToastSpangler 3h ago

yes several times, not saying anything but if ykyk

u/Twin_Brother_Me 2h ago

Can't say that's ever happened to me (aside from the aforementioned coworker, but it's not like he actually ever looks at our "fingernails" when making those quips) but I can definitely see that being hella awkward if someone is staring down your junk and commenting on it

I have to use the short one so my dick doesn't hit the bottom

"usually"

he said "usually".

u/AideInternal1045 3m ago

He said "typically". This is not typical, even if its two normal and one short, people typically skip the middle normal and take the short so there is a gap. Thats just from my 40 years of personal experience though.

You don't just hold it and risk wetting yourself cuz you and USAmerican men literally can't whip it out next to a man? Cuz this is uniquely USAmerican homophobia...

u/BigDrunkLahey 12h ago

It’s not homophobia it’s just nice to have some personal space when your cock is out next to strangers. I’ll go next to someone if that’s all that’s left, but it’s definitely polite to take a further urinal if available.

u/Decent-Treat-2990 11h ago

You’re arguing with a nudist about not wanting strangers to see your cock you guys have different priorities

u/stop_poking_it 10h ago

A nudist obsessed with the USA for some reason

u/AuNaturellee 12h ago

Are privacy walls between urinals common in countries that aren't spelled U-S-A? Welcome a global perspective here...

u/nufohudis 10h ago

Nah man, I'm from africa, is same here...

1

u/Vaanafroster 12h ago

I’d say it has more to do with the puritanical way most Americans view nudity. Nudity is far less accepted socially in the US than it is in many other places. I personally am a Queer American man, and avoid standing next to another person at a urinal if I can.

u/AuNaturellee 11h ago

Nudity means without clothing. Pulling out your peen isn't nudity. Why do you have qualms about proximity to penises pissing?

1

u/AideInternal1045 12h ago

Unless they are all full, why would i hold it. I clearly said if two are full ill take the free one.

u/AideInternal1045 11h ago

For it to be a /woosh there needs to be a joke to miss.

u/theroha 11h ago

Less homophobia and more American attitudes around nudity in general.

u/Royal_Cryptographer7 11h ago

Those are for little people and people with mobility issues iirc. They are nice to have around when bringing a kid to the bathroom though. Its part of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), I've been told.

u/EggForTryingThymes 11h ago

Nobody likes to take the middle, but if that’s the only one…

u/TheRilesEffect 9h ago

How many kids frequent your office to need a lowered urinal? Always thought that was the strangest thing

1

u/used-to-have-a-name 9h ago

People come in different sizes. I’ve got coworker who needs the shorter urinal, and it doesn’t hurt the rest of us to have one our kids can also use if/when they need it. There’s dignity in independence.

1

u/AtheistState 7h ago

Nobody cares about kids, but at least one urinal must be mounted with the flood rim below 17" or you could be sued for noncompliance with section 605.2 of the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Don't ask why I know that.

u/Nitr0b1az3r 9h ago

people pissin in this guys office

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 12h ago

I always pee next to anyone available. It brightens my day to see the look of horror in their eyes

0

u/AideInternal1045 12h ago

Thats how you get peed on in self defense. If theres enough space to leave a free spot I can only assume you want me for my body.

1

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 11h ago

Look, I have my desires, but im not only interested in your body. I want your mind too 💦

1

u/AboutRight1987 8h ago

Yeah, if there are 7 urinals and they all have partitions, I'm still not standing next to another guy if I don't have to.

1

u/1405hvtkx311 7h ago

Exactly. I mean do you think women go just into the next stall? No! When there are more available you totally leave at least one out.

1

u/AideInternal1045 7h ago

Stalls are different. I need to be close so I can hear us playing battleshits

1

u/option-trader 3h ago

Exactly. We’d naturally just skip one urinal and head to the next one because some one was in the first one.
