Choose-A-Urinal Challenge
Men should ace this test (or suffer the wrath of men everywhere)...
women are on their own. But, there IS a code of the restroom 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 | indicates men are at stalls 3
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | and 6.
-------------------------
You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at which
stall you are to correctly stand. Good luck!
Easy Section
(1) | | x | | x | | | (Stalls 2 and 4 occupied.)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: __ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
Answer: 6 It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy
instinctively knows this.
(2) | x | | | | | | (1 occupied.)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: __ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
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: __ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
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: ___ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
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.
Subtle, Tricky, But Important To Know Section
(5) | | x | | | x | x | (2, 5 and 6 occupied)
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
-------------------------
Your choice: __ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
Answer: 4 Believe it or not, 1 and 3 "couple"
you with the guy in stall 2.
This differs from question 4 in such a
subtle 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: ___ (don't page down until you've chosen!)
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,
man!...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.
-- Absolutely NO touching of anyone else. Even the slightest 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."
