ladyskydiver 0 #1 May 6, 2003 Following up on the conversation that we had at Michele's birthday party, I found the game about Men's Bathroom Etiquette. Have fun playing.

Islandcool 0 #2 May 6, 2003 I got 5 out of 6. I got the last one wrong. Man Cora, did you think we made that stuff up?Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #3 May 6, 2003 I just could not believe that there would be an issue with where to go to the bathroom. As we discussed at dinner Saturday, women definitely don't have the same issues that guys do. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

Guest #4 May 6, 2003 I've taken that test before and gotten 6 out of 6. Yes, there are psychological issues, and no, it isn't silly. In the ladies' room, it's all separate with walls & stalls. Not so in the men's room, especially those with a "watering trough". "Shy Bladder Syndrome" can make it just about impossible to take a whiz. Fortunately, a man can whiz most anywhere...

Casie 0 #6 May 6, 2003 How funny! I got 5 out of 6 correct. Do men not have any stalls in the restroom or is that for a different situation all together? ~Porn Kitty WARNING: Goldschlager causes extreme emotional outbursts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #7 May 6, 2003 Quote Do men not have any stalls in the restroom or is that for a different situation all together? Yes, we have stalls for #2's. However, it is acceptable to use a stall for a #1 when the empty urinals are next to people who are smiling.Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #8 May 6, 2003 I have to disagree with the second to last one i think... the big guy toward the left and the black guy 3 over. Take a look at the black guy. He's not using his hands. Thats just asking for trouble. I wouldnt stand next to that! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTOXX 0 #10 May 6, 2003 When driving in the UK I had to use the restroom. I found a roadside rest area that had a McDonalds (suprised?), an arcade, a small shop and a large public restroom. I walked in and saw a long row of stalls which I did not need. Quick scan of the room lead me to an "alcove" type area which was the urinal area... This was the most bizarre thing I had seen. There were NO urinals at all. Imagine your in a room that is tiled on 3 sides, the fourth wall is the opening to the "alcove" room. The 3 walls are tiled ceiling to floor and the floor is a rubber mat material. The walls however extend DOWN past the floor level you are standing on to create a small trough about 6 inch in diameter. You simply walk up close to the wall and go... There were about 10 guys in there just pissing on the wall. It was damn strange. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #17 May 6, 2003 I got all of them right except for the one where it told you to leave and come back later. But when you got to go, you got to go. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #18 May 6, 2003 See, my question is do you guys get instruction? I mean, does Grampa pull you aside as a small wee child and explain it to you? The conversation was fascinating. There was discussion of comparison, hand use, where the eyes go, what happens if there are mirrors, and stall usage. I mean, I never realized the pressure men are under when they pee in a public restroom. And it's across the board, too, like an unwritten lesson in kingergarten, when we girls are sent out of the room, and the boys get the primer on potty etiquette. Us girls? Hell. We trot in in pairs or trios, chatting, laughing. We continue our discussion through the stall walls, and, should the need arise, "borrow" paper under the stall dividers. If there are only two stalls, and it's a trio, we wait, talking all the while. And then we wait for the trio to reassemble, free from the contraints of a tight bladder, and then go back to where we came from. Shoot, should the need arise (a stadium or such like), the group grabs the handicapped stall and crowds in together, and handle our business. And we always wait for the other group members. ALWAYS. No-one left behind, you know? I don't think there's ever been a time where I've turned down a lady running to the potty who "asked" for company. I also don't think I've ever been turned down. This is not to say we can't use the facilities by ourselves...but we do travel in pairs. There are times where it isn't usually appropriate to go in a group, however. Seminars, the only girl in a group, etc. But mostly, it is a group that trots off to the loo... But! We can goof it up. For example, if two go, and there is a third lady, now we've left her alone with the guys....and she realizes she's missed the unspoken Potty Call. And if it isn't a Potty Call but a "Fresh Air/Gossip Break", then she is left to find you. Which can be confusing. Run to the bathroom, check under stalls, wrack your memory to recall shoe styles today...nope, not them...o.k., into the bar, tour it quickly, o.k., not there...must be outside..."Phew, I found you guys! Why'd you leave and not tell me??" So yes, somewhat akin to standing next to the big guy peeing, it is a social faux pas to declare a Potty Call psychically and leave a woman standing (or sitting) by herself. This is a seriously funny, and decidedly odd topic. Perfect for my birthday party discussion group!

Islandcool 0 #19 May 6, 2003 Quote See, my question is do you guys get instruction? Genetic imprinting and condtioning from dad when he took you to the public restrooms when you were a kid. Words were never really passed. The times mom took you to the restroom was seriously messed up. She would be watching you and ladies would be talking freely and I just couldn't go. For those who didn't have that male influence when you were a kid there is always the "Waxie" Big way urinal camp. Of course you have to have had at least 100 awkward urinal experiences to qualify.Anyway how the hell do you ladies instinctively know how to handle a baby. Someone handing me a baby once and his head was flopping around. I said hey what's wrong with his neck? How was I to know you were to support a baby's head.Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #20 May 6, 2003 I totally agree with this. Proper urinal etiquette is instinctive in a man. BTW, the same rules usually apply when choosing a stall. And we never share TP. Checking the amount of TP available is always a factor in choosing the proper stall. Graffiti in a stall is always a bonus. Now I don't get why Michele would choose a bathroom for fresh air.

billvon 3,006 #21 May 6, 2003 >As we discussed at dinner Saturday, women definitely don't have the >same issues that guys do. Right! After all, women spend between 1/4 and 1/3 of their lives in the bathroom. They are much better adapted for it than men are, whose sole purpose is to void and get out of there as quickly as possible, with as little contact with the other occupants as possible. Men's bathroom social skills are simply not as developed as women's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
