Man I hate urinals because of people like that. One of my previous* supervisors used to walk up and have work conversations while next to my, it was the most awkward thing. I eventually just stopped using them in favor of stalls whenever possible.


*autocorrect tried to put "penile" here at first, which feels about right in that context

How often do you type the phrase "One of my penile"?

this is a clear violation of federal Urinal Gap Law, 69 CFR 420.91(a)

If I can, I will choose which urinal to use by which one makes the next person that comes in have to make a decision about who they pee next to.

I don't have children and I'd still be wary of an adult that chooses to urinate right next to a minor if there's another option available.

Maybe he was just more focused on "I really need to piss" than the idea that some rando would imply that he's a pedophile while he's trying to take a piss.

I know it's pronounced pee-nile but wouldn't it be great if we all said P-Nilly

whether its a kid doesn't matter. choosing not to take the furthest possible stall while subtly curling up to block all possible visual or social interaction is what makes them a freak

That's one of those things where my phone keyboard occasionally makes me go what because I'm not sure I've ever typed out the word directly before. I think it grabs oddball words (like goon names) from when I copy & paste text to add to the common words bank, maybe it's something like that.

I was at an event full of gay men this past weekend, and i went popped into the restroom, everybody picked a urinal with no regard for the urinal code. No stupid worrying about having a buffer zone, just walk in, piss, wash your hands, and everyone is golden without making it a huge deal.

Sometimes i forget how exhausting it is back out in the "straight" society.

Is it normal for US men's restroom to not have divisions between urinals? The only place I've seen that didn't have them were pretty dingy places. Some of them over here even had shelves where they enclosed the urinals on three sides.

This is probably a scorching hot take but I think OP is a bigger weirdo freak for obsessing about kids existing in proximity to strangers in public spaces. If the guy is leering over at the kid then an extra 5 feet of space isn't going to make him less of a creep and if he's minding his own business then who the gently caress cares; either way the urinal position is not the actual problem. Picking the middle urinal is a minor faux pas but at some point OP is going to take the kid to an event where the bathrooms are busy enough that people don't have a choice anyhow. For that matter, Ikeas are huge and if the bathrooms up front only have 3 urinals the employee probably just got used to them being too busy to bother fussing about the urinal gap.

Its like 50/50 if urinals have dividers. I'll see 'em in places like the mall or a movie theater. But I remember my college dorms never having any dividers.

Oh look, the consequences of my prior actions are finally catching up to me.
I think a lot of the situation is social awareness. If there are 3 urinals and a kid is using one of the side urinals, I'll use the other side that's open assuming it's not busy in there. Now if it's like a baseball game and the bathroom is packed, the dad could usher the kid into a stall or accept the fact that the kid may see some dong because other people gotta pee as well.

US bathrooms are always a fascinating game of, how can we provide the bare minimum, even more barer? I've been in bathrooms where the stall doors basically only cover the core. The dread of seeing such a tiny door while wearing a romper....

I took a leak at a rest stop in Italy this summer and the fact that the stall doors went practically to the floor was just one of those things where I thought to myself, why NOT us

I feel like we've finally discovered the one thing wherein male privilege doesn't exist because gd am I glad as a woman to be assured of having a private stall whenever I use the restroom. Sure, I've had people talk to me from the next stall, but at least I'm not visible while I'm taking care of business.

I know, the etiquette of women's bathroom is so good, at least it is where I am. If it's a pub or club, you can get good, or at least, interesting advice from whoever is in there, and back in the olden times when I was a college student, pre-social media, you could get SO MUCH hot gossip from the graffiti on the walls, also some really good advice if you wrote your problems up there too :3:.
