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.

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.

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 2m 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.

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

A nudist obsessed with the USA for some reason

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

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

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?

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.

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

Less homophobia and more American attitudes around nudity in general.
