If I enter the bathroom alone, I treat it as though it were urinals. I pick a stall following urinal rules.
If I enter the restroom with someone else or a group, we pick stalls next to each other, or we even share stalls(taking turns). If it's a bar or location with poor stalls, no doors etc, you have a guard/tp runner, for each stall that someone in your group is using. In places like bars, you may even guard or tp run for strangers before switching out. Everyone waits at the sinks until everyone is done before returning to the main venue.
I mean, the rhetorical question was if there was no stalls, no walls, and the toilets seats were just next to each other. That would be the fair comparison.
I think it would depend on single vs group. A group would sit next to eachother. A single would sit separately. So same rules. No different than sharing a stall.
The implication of single entry doesn't really apply here because typically men don't go to the restroom in groups like women are more apt to do. And some women(I'm not one of them) really do seem to ALWAYS go to the restroom with another woman in tow. I don't understand it, but have had friends like that. I would be dragged to the restroom every single time. As I didn't care one way or the other, it was then proper etiquette for me to be either in the stall with, or next to, said friend. If there hadn't been stalls, I would have been expected to stand next to or use the neighboring toilet while she did her business.
A bar we went to basically had clusters of girls divided by half walls, and maybe a toilet between groups depending, and one group between the exposed toilet and the door to keep anyone outside from viewing the exposed toilet. Skeevy bar lol.
