Another question of man law.

danman77220 · 12-16-2007, 01:19 AM

Yesterday I walked into a bathroom at my high school. There are four urinals in said bathroom, and all were empty. I chose the urinal on the far left. After I began to relieve myself, an individual walks in and chooses the urinal immediately to my right. As this occurred, I said, "Dude, what the f-ck." In response, the individual stopped what he was doing and moved to the furthest urinal.

I have made the following diagrams to help ease comprehension:

Before: |A| |_| |_| |_|

Altercation: |A| |B| |_| |_|

After: |A| |_| |_| |B|

- |_| = urinal
- A = me
- B = perpetrator

At the time, I felt justified in my questioning. Afterwards, however, I realized that speaking to another man whilst using a urinal is a violation. Though the individual had not yet began to relieve himself*, the fact remains that I spoke to him whilst he was occupying a urinal.

So, based on the evidence, did I violate man law?

*This is an assumption as I did not see this with my own eyes

Or, maybe that was!

Answer: If you did not sneak a look at his pee-pee, you should consider yourself ok for now.

Unless, of course, he posts on a less-mature board than IM and has already found your post, is linking to it, and is bragging to his friends as to how he PWNED you by stepping aside (but sneaking a look at your goods first -- with cellphone pics to prove it

!!!)

This happens at my office with annoying regularity, except there are only 3 urinals so the decision should be way easier. I dunno what people are thinking.

Dude WAY too much info!

I hate when this happens... I've had this happen twice at work so far, with old goofy ass engineers that dont know any better. I just look at them like "dude, seriously?"

some dudes just dont know. some just dont get it. the rest are trying to sneak a peak at your pecker.

I don't piss in urinals anymore.. For one, you never know what kind of frootloop is going to occupy the spot next to you..

Secondly I don't think they are very sanitary. It's impossible not to get some splatter effect..

Haha this is hilarious.. In my school guy wait as long as it takes to get a free one because noone ever wants to stand next to another guy In danmans way of explaining

**romanaz** · 12-20-2007, 02:46 AM

manlaw dictates that you DO NOT occupy a urinal next to one that is being used by another man. He violated it.

manlaw dictates that you DO NOT talk to another man in the bathroom unless he is on the same level as you (aka waiting in line, in a stall, at the urinal). You did not break manlaw, he did. He should be shunned until post-mortem.

**BigZeke** · 12-20-2007, 02:52 AM

Only permissable time to speak at a urinal, or change your field of vision from "locked in front" is when somebody moves to the urinal next to you.

This n00b didn't know proper urinal etiquette. You should always chose the furthest available stall from someone who is midstream. Only time you're allowed to be next to someone is if you have no choice; i.e. one available urinal and there's a line (see sporting events).
