Ladies who wish to take the quiz, welcome to our world.

1. LOL!

You men are crazy! Just get fucking stalls!

:rofl:

On edit: I think I missed two. Okay, maybe three. But I'm a LADY. :P

5. Just don't miss the urinal

Nothing worse than standing in somebody's puddle when you're using the facilities

2. Ha! I only got one wrong.

Urinal etiquette ain't such a tough thing to figure out. :D

3. I only got one wrong and I'm a girl.

I hang out with a lot of guys though.

4. That's totally lifted

from "Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys."




And it's absolutely true. :blush:

6. Barry got it from the internet

Barry's book was published in 2000.

And here is the old ascii usenet version I remember reading back in the 90's.

But Dave Barry is still a funny SOB.

7. I'm a guy and I missed them all

[YankeyMCC]

8. I dispute the answer to the first scenario

Yes the general is to maximize separation but when it's just one guy at the far end you can't act like you're overly aware or concerned about anything so you take the next to last spot.

Its a much more subtle culture than this quiz presents. We may be crazy but we're still complex social animals. :)

9. I picked the closest one to the door every time I think

thats pretty much what I do. The lack of urinal etiquette is from the guys pictured with their hands behind their back while urinating.

EDIT: and I frankly don't understand Question #5 regarding pairing yourself up with the big guy????

EDIT#2: unless Question 5 involves jailhouse urinal etiquette

[YankeyMCC]

10. Yeah I picked correctly on that one

but it seemed like the answer wasn't phrased correctly. I think what it meant to say was that you didn't want to give the appearance of being paired with the big guy so you just clump in with the other two.

11. I agree!

I'd say proper is to take the next one in line, still leaving the one-urinal buffer. That leaves the one next to the door empty for the next guy.

12. Stop the Spray....

Before turning away....

13. The correct answer is:

if in doubt and you "really" need to go, find a regular lavatory. Skip the urinal.

Plus what the heck do you do in a UK style urinal where all there is is a long trench on the ground and a porcelain backdrop to aim at? There's no dividers - it's just one long urinal.

Really, I don't care. I just piss and go.

Mark.
