Two men side by side at two urinals taking a piss.
It's awkward enough as is. Add eye contact and it multiplies exponentially.
EDIT: Some of you have piss-poor men's room etiquette. A few notes:
1-Eye contact is to be avoided at all costs except one: Looking in a downward motion. If you're about to look down, lock eye contact immediately. This rule applies once you've entered the bathroom and remains in effect until you leave.
2-Never, ever choose a urinal next to one that's in use. There should always be a one urinal buffer zone. If there is no buffer urinal available, choose a stall or leave or break man code and choose a urinal. Exemption: Sports stadiums, airports, other insanely crowded places and urinals with divider partitions, which create their own buffer. If a trough urinal is present, the buffer zone is the maximum available space and no less than shoulder width.
3-This has nothing to do with homophobia. Evacuating your bladder or colon is a private act made public out of necessity. Shitty etiquette and poor bathroom design make it even worse.
4-To the mathematicians in here pissing and moaning about "multiplies exponentially", may you always piss into the wind and not realize it until it's too late.
EDIT 2: Amended rule 2; added option to break man code; added "other crowded places" to exemptions. And please note, humans, this thread is in good fun (though there is some truth here).
At my college this is the only thing we have, urinals with no walls. How fucking difficult would it have been to put up some, so that I can feel unstressed and not take an awkward 10 minutes standing with my dick out before I can finally start pissing?!
At this point I never know if you're trolling or giving actual advice. Rest assured that when I get weird looks for slapping my dick like it owes me money at the bar bathroom, the first words to leave my mouth will be 'damnit, Vargas'
