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 :rolleyes: |

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. |

And there was me thinking that this was going to be which urinal you pick.

I always thought taking a cubicle meant you had a small penis? :confused:

Bugger convention, it's the first available place for me when I need a piss. I don't walk past a couple of spaces just because there's someone pissing in the first one. Urinal etiquette pah walk in find the nearest space that's me;)
That's a sign of inebriation. ;) |

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. |

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