Guys: Don't you feel awkward when using public restroom with other guys?


Question Posted Friday June 15 2012, 7:12 pm



Like why did they make a bathroom like that. Why not just have stalls?
Isn't it weird to be standing at a urinal peeing while some other guy is standing there beside you peeing too???

Yes, very weird to stand next to a guy in a urinal. Which is why I use the stalls instead. The urinal requires me to get too close to it, and the urine bounces back sometimes, in the stalls I can flush by using my foot instead of hand.

There is a VERY strict, unwritten code of etiquette when using a public restroom.

Always stare directly in front you, or down. Never look to the left or right. If you accidently nudge someone, do not turn, just say sorry.

If all urinals are free, use either the first, or last, not a middle ones. This is to ensure that if someone else comes along, there is space without it being awkward.

If the first and last are taken up, ensure there is the greatest amount of space between you and other goers.

So yes, it can be awkward if you have an idiot who decides to stare at you, or look around. But pretty much most men know what to do.

Men, unlike women, go to the bathroom alone, and purely for functional reasons. Not to have a chat, not to do their make up. So we go in, do our business, go out.



Some, better places, just have cubicles. I.e. unisex toilets, and each cubicle has its own mirror, lock, wash basin, and the such. But this is often expensive.

Is this from a female by chance? Either way no guy feels totally comfortable with it you can bet. I sure don't. However, as far as I'm concerned you get in, you get out and you don't think about it. Nobody is looking at you or ahem yours but that's always the paranoid fear now isn't it? Everyone has that fear at the urinal.

If it makes you really uncomfortable peeing next to some other dude definitely use a stall. Yes, there should be more blocking you and separating you at a urinal but it's up for people in society and designers of bathrooms to make dividers like that a norm. 2-ply toliet paper while they're at it would help--just saying ;)
