Men : Take the urinal etiquette test
Here.

I think most guys will do pretty well because the correct answers seem very intuitive.

If any women take the test I'd be interested to hear the results. I'm curious if knowing the correct answers is due to instincts or conditioning.

1. When I was in Vietnam we had a 5 holer latrine
It was kind of hard at first shitting in a group but after awhile it didn't matter. I guess it continues in me today because I don't care what urinal I use. I just don't like those low ones that are for little kids.

3. When you gotta go you gotta go
We're all adults or at least should be.

4. I also liked the PVC pipe in the ground field latrines
Basically a 4 or 6 inch PVC pipe (size depending on the manliness of the Army unit) that goes about 6 feet into the ground (usually with rocks at the bottom so it filters into the soil) and comes to waste level up top. Was always interesting what to do with when a superior officer came by while you were using the pee-tube.

16. Yes we had those to, out in the open. You just walked up and did your
thing for all to see. Those nights when everyone had a case of beer in them were hell!

2. Thanks
The old Seattle Kingdome had a circular troft urinals (with something in the middle so you wouldn't see the other men's manhoods) so you all basically staired at each other - that was wierd.

"Urinal Queuing Theory" would be an awesome combination of sociology and mathematics!

9. I went to a concert one time
and the restrooms were so crowded, there was a massive line to the urinals, and one little that veered to the left. I took the little one and it was to a sink in the handicapped stall that had the water running. It was a hell of a lot quicker than the massive one and I wasn't brushing up next to dudes waiting to pee.

5. I just had to try it.
I'm a female (lady, woman, girl, whatever) and failed miserably - only 2 right. I guess I would suck as a guy. Either that or you guys are horribly uptight!

8. Haven't you ever heard of "I can pee farther than you?"
it's the classic variation on the whole "mine's bigger than yours" theme. Some guys have more (or should we say less) reason to be uptight about it than others. :freak:

13. Reminds me of a joke, This drunk woman shouts out, I bet $10 that I can
piss higer on the wall than anyone here. Some guy jumped up and took the bet. So she pees prettly low on the wall and the guy laughs at her and as he started to pee she says, "Ah Ah! no hands!"

6. I'm female and got them all right except the last one.
I think much of it is intuitive.

The whole concept of bathrooms without walls boggles my mind. It seems a bit demeaning.

7. I got them all right except the last.
This is funny, I was gonna post some questions like this...

For example, do you obey the rule of silence? If you have to stand in line does the rule of silence continue? What if there are stalls, do you use them. Do you prefer stalls to urinals?

11. was in a men's room in Germany
where there were three walls about 30 feet long each made of stainless steel that was lile a continouous waterfall. You just stepped up and pissed on the wall. Very awkward at first...

14. Pissing on the wall
Similar type of "urinal" in London. The first time I encountered one I thought people were simply tired of waiting in line. So I turned my back to them and waited patiently for the line to move. It took me a few minutes to catch on.

Other weird toilet experiences include lidless, unwalled toilets in Russia and the squat-troughs in China (washed with hoses, rather than a flush-tank). Weirdest foreign toilet experience was outside of Amsterdam: men entering or leaving the room would give a general greeting, and the men at the urinals (and occasionaly some in the booths) would answer back.

15. I had a Japanese type hotel room in Tokyo once.
I did not know how to use the slit toilet in the floor. I'm still a little miffed about it.

19. I noticed that
in a Germain rail station. It was like a piss ditch. I was stuck in the railway for a few hours and every time I went back in the bathroom I had to stand further and further away from the wall because of the "splash" of previous users. I was afraid if the train was any later I'd be outside in an open field.

17. Aboard ship
We just had troughs with toilet seats every couple of feet. We had to pee in between the seats. Sitting on a wet seat really wrecked your day.

It was good training for the unisex restrooms in Asia.

18. As a woman...
I got 1 wrong because I didn't pick the last one. I picked second to last because of the door.

I got confused with one question cuz when I selected to go out the door and wait instead of P it told me to go back in and get it over with. I didn't use the same logic for the one that had the most Bruvas. So, I got that one wrong cuz it told the dude to go back out and wait to P. It was reversed, so men are really buying the fact that they think Bruvas have big "packages".

Women use the same basic logic when choosing a stall.

That's my report. Hope it makes sense.
