Which Urinal Do You Use?

[KMWylie Senior MemberPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close KMWylie]

So, in what is becoming a series of interesting peeks into the bathroom lives of males - here's two new questions...

You go into a public restroom needing to pee. There are three urinals along one wall and three enclosed toilet stalls on the wall across from the urinals.

QUESTION 1: You go into the restroom and are alone. Do you....

1. Go to the urinal closest to the door.
2. Go to the middle urinal.
3. Go to the urinal farthest from the door.
4. Use one of the enclosed toilet stalls.

QUESTION 2: You go into the restroom and there is a guy just starting to pee in the urinal closest to the door. Do you...

1. Go to the middle urinal next to him, as it is now closest to the door.
2. Go to the urinal farthest from the door.
3. Use one of the enclosed toilet stalls.

1) I go to a corner urinal so either answer 1 or 3
2) #2 if there is at least one urinal of space between him and me OR a wall divider between the urinals. If there is neither, I use a toilet stall.

Easy...

Q 1) I'd choose either available END urinal, but NOT the middle one (whichever of the 2 is cleanest / fewest "curlies"! LOL!

Q2) Urinal farthest from door.

MALE'S # 1 RULE OF PUBLIC TOILET ETIQUETTE...

NEVER CHOOSE A URINAL NEXT TO ANOTHER GUY UNLESS THERE'S NONE OTHERS AVAILABLE!

1. I don't have any preference, it could be any one of the urinals.

2. Furthest from the door.

The research found that the first stall in a female bathroom is generally the least often used and that means that it’s the cleanest.

Men, however, tend to opt for whatever’s closest to the door, while women gravitate to those farther from it. Meaning the one nearest the door is likely to be the cleanest if you’re a female, and vice versa if you’re male.

The middle one is the best to avoid altogether if you’re picky.

Apparently, we’re conditioned to choose middle options when presented with a row of options – something called ‘centrality preference’.

If there are a lot I make sure to take the 2nd from either wall as that means no one will take the one closest to the wall. If there are very few it depends on the kind of urinals.

I'll opt for the stall if there is a crowded bathroom at the urinals. Been to too many professional football games where the coninuous trough was the mass urinal. Never want to experience that again. Also have had several run ins with pervs in the bathroom trying to check out my junk while I was busy vacating. Much too Awkward. A stall is private and I can do my thing, still standing and have Tpaper to wipe any drops after the fact. Much more sanitary.

Question 1: #3
Question 2: #2

I do not see any benefit in going to the closest, as that is generally the most used one. The furthest is usually the cleanest especially in terms of the floor around it.

Observation at my school:

Whenever I enter the bathroom, and one of the leadership is already there, they are always at the furthest urinal. Be it the President, one of the Deans or the Chief of Staff...

Whenever I enter the bathroom and one of the stalls is being used, it is always the middle one.

Hi In Greece men's toilets are like hidden gems, unless its Kalamata market there is loads, but you drive about your see guys standing at the side of there cars with that lost look, we know what your doing.

But for its the first one available when you want to go its no good standing there scratching your head, but then perhaps that's why guys have wet patch's in that area.

As for cubicles no they always smell like some shit there self's there.

Are you from Kalamata?

NO NO from the UK just an expat, we live about 40 minutes from there up in the mountains over looking Kalamata bay and on a clear day Kalamata, but there is a guy on here who does live in Kalamata, he is Stavros.

If you put in the name under my picture google earth it takes you to the centre of my village, you pan right you come to a Villa with a blue blob next to it that's our villa, we look up to the village and down to kalamata.

There is another guy he lives I think Athens way, he's a boxer and trainer, and he is 8.36.
