I usually go for the standing urinal closest to the door, thereby forcing anyone who enters to instantly have a feeling of incomfort, and go for the farthest urinal from me. Unless they WANT to be close, and then they get the one right next to me. Instantly i'll know how to treat this person. Do  relax, and not worry, cause they went for the furthest one? Or do I stand at an angle, knowing the person is trying a "peek" because they got the one right next to me?  As far as stalls, I check whichever is the cleanest...and if they are all clean (or all dirty.) I go for the one with the most paper. Usually the huge handicap stall is the best. Most don't use it, it has the best griffiti, and always is stocked with paper.

Usually stick with the outer urinals, to be as far away from others as possible, but really whichever is free also works, weird topic indeed *backs away slowly.*

Number twos + urinals = bad. Just say no, drunk people. The cubicles are there for that reason.

@ Juni

It's the confidence thing, most men are pretty insecure.

Edit: Stroggy, so what do you do if there are three cubicles and the one in the middle is occupied? Wait for it to become empty and go to the far left?

Duh... I take the middle one, what kind of a silly question is that?
That's why I said "I tend to..." meaning that when I do have a choice I...

Are you suggesting that we accent the second syllable of that word in America?  I've never heard it pronounced that way in all my years here.

According to the OED, there's two possible pronunciations of the word "urinal": you're-in-Al or you-Rhine-Al. I also thought the latter was American...

So there's two definitions eh, that's the first I've ever heard of the second one. Never in my life have I heard anyone here at least say it like the second way.

Same here.
I've always heard it pronounced as You're-in-al, as in You're-in-ation.

I never pronounced it (I think). I don't go to the school's toilets too often, unless I need to speak with a colleague, and he needs to piss. It stinks over there and you can slip on the floor. Scary.....


EDIT: Anyway, when I do go there (I think I only went there one time in my entire life ), I prefer to place myself as close to the door as possible because the urinals are not in front of it, but somewhat to the left. Thus people can't see me unless they come near me and look closely

At school it depends. I usually go to the toilets in the New Hall, as that is the newest building and thus has the cleanest toilets... but the problem is that the younger classes use the New Hall most, and they get a kick from throwing toiletpaper into the urinals and thus clogging them up... the little bastards.

I haven't really payed much attention to where I piss to be quite honest. I'm pretty sure I usually avoid anybody that is taller than me and leave a cubicle gap between us. If they are shorter than me then I would be less likely to leave that gap. I guess it's because I am slightly intimidated by taller people... hmm.

Unusual thread.

Nope.  I never even knew there was a second pronunciation, but now I'll be prepared in case I meet someone someday who uses it.  Prepared to point and laugh at them, that is.

@Stroggy:


@Everyone: The following thing was written by Heto (member of Abandonia forums) on Yahoo messenger while talking to me:

A man, if he would enter in a public toilet which would be empty and would have only 5 urinals, whould choose the one in the middle as they could not decide which one they should use.

If a second man will come and will see that there is already somebody in the middle, that person would choose a urinal which is in a corner to have some privacy and not to disturb the man in the middle.

If a third man would come, he would go at urinal number 4 because he wouldn't want to sit between those other two men, but would also not want to sit in the other corner because that would make the other guys think he is scared, even if they would just want to finish and exit and they would not even notice where the third person goes.

If a fourth man would come, he would choose urinal no. 5 'cause it would be more confortable for him not to be between two guys.

Thus, the 2nd urinal would be the cleanest

[A. J. Raffles]

What if the second person is left-handed and goes to urinal #5, though?

[Abi79]

@A.J.: Then...imagine as 5 would be 1 and 4 would be 2 (I think; it's too hard to understand it all....but it's funny)
