Twisted Logic: Male Restroom Etiquette

Thursday, January 04, 2007

I had no idea that using the restroom was such a critical social issue for the male population. The video is long but well worth your time.

Being that you are such an expert on male bathroom dynamics I'd like to ask you a question. Occasionally when someone "sneaks" up on me and uses the urinal next to me I become startled and unrinate on my "neighbor's" shoes. Is this my fault or is it my uninformed/wet neighbor's?

sincerely,
Pondering Pee'r

First off, I have never claimed to be an expert on this particular subject, I am only a messenger.

Second, to answer your question, I would assume that if you pee on your "neighbor's" shoes, you would be at fault. After approximately 23 years of peeing practice, I would hope that you would be able to complete the act, even if being startled. However, if you need practice with your aim, place cheerios in the urinal. This is what parents do to potty train their children.

Good luck.

You seem to think that you know me when I just happened upon your blog by chance. Actually I have far more than 23 years of peeing experience being that I am 39 years old. Thanks for the tips but I'm not sure if you paid proper attention to the bathroom etiquette video. This man who ignored proper etiquette is in the wrong in some way, I refuse to take complete responciblity for my urine...
