Comments on: mens room etiquette http://mattdaddy.net/2009/11/25/mens-room-etiquette/ info that bounces inside my brain that makes sense to me, maybe you.

Well, sometimes you gotta look down, but that's it. Yes, generally there should be a 1-urinal buffer between you and the next guy, but that's not always possible. For instance, large conferences, sporting events, etc. where there's a high volume of traffic and if you didn't use all the available facilities the line would be too long. But this greatly reinforces the previous rule about looking straight ahead. Flush, damnit. If you need to use the mirror to pretty yourself, try to not block the sink for those that want to wash their hands. .-= hsoi´s last blog ..<a href="http://hsoiblog.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/whats-worse-than-taxes-the-spending/" rel="nofollow">What’s worse than taxes?

Every imaginable sound is amplified and resonates through the room, making the whole scene uncomfortable for everyone. I'd rather do my thing in a noisy room than a silent one any day. I don't want to hear you, and I don't particularly want you to hear me. Finer establishments have caught on to this and provide music to mask some of the more, um, personal sounds. .-= Michael´s last blog ..<a href="http://mistymorningfog.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/the-greatest-gift/" rel="nofollow">The Greatest Gift</a> =-.

I can't pee if I think someone's listening to me. - talking between stalls is allowed (see previous entry. we need noise.) .-= terri´s last blog ..<a href="http://territerri.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/winslow-the-thanksgiving-turkey/" rel="nofollow">Winslow the Thanksgiving Turkey</a> =-.
