Men should ace this test ... women may have a little difficulty.
There IS a code of "Restroom Etiquette" that MUST be followed. The following is the urinal configuration in a sample men's room. An X above the number will indicate "in use." (Sample):
| X | X | "X" Indicates that urinals 3 and 6 are occuped | ||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
You are to identify, based on urinal etiquette, at which stall you should stand. Good luck!
=================== >> Easy Section >> ===================
1.)
| X | X | (Urinals 2 and 4 occupied.) | ||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: ___
Correct answer: 6 It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy instinctively knows this.
2.)
| X | (Urinal 1 occupied.) | |||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: ___
Correct answer: 6 Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk of being next to someone who arrives later.
Kind of tricky Section:
3.)
| (empty) | ||||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: __
Correct answer: 1 or 6 You are tacitly saying, "I don't want anyone next to me."
4.)
| X | X | X | (2, 4 and 6 occupied) | |||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: ___
Correct answer: 1 You're stuck being next to at least ONE guy, so you minimize the impact and get a wall on your left. > NEVER go between TWO guys if you can help it. Exceptions to this are stadium restrooms where the herd thunders in.
Sudtle, tricky, but important to know
5.)
| X | X | X | (2, 5 and 6 occupied) | |||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: __
Correct answer: 4 Believe it or not, 1 or 3 "couples" you with the guy in stall 2. And we wouldn't want THAT now, would we? This differs from question 4 in such a sudtle way that the nuances cannot be explained. Suffice to say, only we men would understand!
VERY tricky indeed Section
6.)
| X | X | X | X | (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied) | ||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Your choice: ___
Correct answer: NONE! You go to the mirror and pretend to comb your hair or straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" a bit more. If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD, for god's sake! ... use a doored stall Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals: -- NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse. -- I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is of the highest offense-- NO Singing. Period. -- Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again".
