Guys: Public Bathroom Ediquite

[Vizardlorde]

I dont pee in public bathrooms ever!!!! The only times Ive used public bathrooms have been emergencies (food poisoning, soaked in rain water and needed to use dryer to dry my stuff, stomach virus made me throw up frequently, etc) I hold it til I make it "home".

[hiragana]

I close it, since people might try barge in desperate for a shit.

[Ave07]

I leave it open if its one of those cramped stalls with only the toilet.

ugh i hate stalls where there's like 2 inches between the toilet and the door when it swings. what retard thought of them.

and stall dividers should be obligatory.

I can attest to that. As someone that used to have to clean women's restrooms as duties of several part time jobs I had in high school/college I can tell you that the majority of the crazy nasty shit I saw was in the women's room, not men's.

Seconded. I worked at Target when I was a kid. The women's restroom was a friggin nightmare. Thankfully, I never had to clean it, but I was friendly with security and some of the staff who did go in there. You don't even want to know.

OT: I always close the door. There is so much more restroom etiquette though.... For example: wash your god damn hands before you leave. I see so many guys walk in, pee, and just walk out into the store. Take two seconds and wash first. So gross.

I prefer sharing with the guy at the nearest urinal. Don't cross the streams!

Why would you NOT close it?

Nobody wants to see you take a shit.

Not talking about taking a shit. Of course you close the door when you take a shit. At least any decent human being would. I was only referring to when taking a piss. I figured that was implied when I said all the urinals were used up. Again, no decent human being takes a shit in the urinal.

I let the door do what it wants. If it swings closed, so be it ... if it stays open, oh well.

That's pretty much my SOP.

Why are some people scarred of peeing in public restrooms? I understand some of them are disgusting but you really don't have to touch anything minus your zipper and your johnson.

I close the door, I guess it's just habit because I really don't care if the urinals don't have divides.

[Shakadam]

Close the door, I like my privacy.

I only use urinals under 2 conditions:
1. All the stalls are occupied and I REALLY have to pee
- or
2. I'm drunk enough to not care anymore.

Urinals are always awkward. Looking, or even worse; talking, to someone is a big no-no. So are you just supposed to stare into the wall? stare at your dick? It's just awkward no matter what you do.

Where would you look if you were using the toilet at home?

i take my shits in the urinal and i piss in the sink

[buck008]

Also, I hate the places that only have the really low urinals. Damn splash.

[Dabrix32]

Why is 'Piss in the Sink' an option? Do people actually do this?

I see someone was never in a fraternity. I have used the drain in the floor before. If its in a bathroom and can drain its meant for pee.

[Shakadam]

I'm one of those who pretty much always sits down even if I'm just taking a piss at home, then I read some strategically placed comic books or fiddle with my smartphone.

I like the urinals that start at chest height and go all the way down to the floor so that it's almost like you're peeing on a wall. It's the least splashback I think I've ever encountered. I guess that much porcelain isn't cheap though.

Either at my junk or into the bowl.

Somewhat off topic but I hate going to the bathroom at people's houses who have a giant mirror behind their toilet. I really, really don't need to stare at myself and my junk while peeing. I hate that.

[Kraenen]

Has anyone seen number 2 on top of the toilet seat before?
