Urinal etiquette
Having been here a week now - I'm baffled by the urinals.
Thy're a foot wide with a steel grate on to of them, with a little ceramic darts ocky.
Do you stand full square on the grate, stand on your tip toes on the tiles or behind the ceramic ocky like a darts player (hopefully with just as good an aim).
Normally you just do what everyone else does, but people must be too scared to go to the loo when I do, as I always seem to be alone
These are the difficult cultural issues you have to engage with when moving to a new country

There was a FLASH game about ten years ago doing the rounds..
Convention has it, that you pick in this order...
i) Urinal furthest away from the door.
ii) Fill in, furthest away from the door not taking a place immediately next to someone else - unless you have to.
Failure to take the right place marks you out as instantly GAY - no exceptions, as does taking a cubical.

Re: Urinal etiquette
And there was me thinking that this was going to be which urinal you pick.

Re: Urinal etiquette
It was the one where you had no choice but to stand next to another punter.
However my choice meant I had inadvertently 'coupled' myself up with someone.
Another place would have put me next to three people.

Re: Urinal etiquette
I pick the one where the level of the distilled yellow water on the floor is lower than my sandals.
