- XAsmodeaNX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+58It's so funny because it's true.
- rejectpenguin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44I often try to get as far away from the other urinal user as I can without having to use the midget urinal.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWBtU8StohI
- BrowncoatJedi, on 10/12/2007, -28/+3The creator has forgotten this common internet rule: NO INTERNET CARTOONS OVER 5 MINUTES LONG!
- theragu40, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9It is *vitally* important that as many people see this as possible. I agree, hilarious because it's so true. Also, there is a Facebook group with the same noble goals:
http://wisc.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204451292 - DaMacGamer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27"he is know standing knee deep in butt pudding"
LMAO. - StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19The best line: "Ralph and Chuck begin to...ralph and chuck."
- anonydigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10True, except for the part where all other urinals are full and you are discouraged from having to stand between two guys. If you have ever gone to a club, you know that all urinals must be used at full capacity or you will:
a: have to piss in yourself because the urinals will never be vacant enough
b: get yelled at and possibly thrown into a dirty stall if you wait for it to be vacant enough by those standards
Also, talking is allowed when you know the people you go in there with; Just not any kind of casual talk or talk that would make you look close to each other. This is also true if you hop in a conversation already going on between 2+ other people. If you don't, you will be singled out, and that is the last thing you would want to happen with many dicks hanging out. You always want to be very carefull to avoid man-contact within those walls.
Just to clear things up. - sithmat, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Although what is so inappropriate about talking in a restroom? Seriously, it does not mean you are attracted to that person. Especially if you're in there with friends, it would seem rude to just ignore them because you're in a washroom.
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This is brilliant! It almost makes me wish I could be a guy for a day just to see how true "the sanctity of the loo" is! My sister and her boyfriend couldn't even finish watching. This is the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time, even more so than Kevin vomitting on Alex's couch!
And of course there's the typical bit of male-desires gore and a sharpshooter. Love it! - theRIAA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16talking is alowed such as:
"ah *****, theres no towels"
"ah *****, theres no soap"
"ah *****, the toilet dosent flush"
...thats about it
- CadMasterAdam, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28wasn't this common knowledge?
- mcnasby, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48Unfortunately it's not. Last semester at school (Temple University), I'd go into the bathroom at about 12:25 (right after lunch) and without a doubt the technical director of the business school would walk into the restroom to relieve himself. He would unzip his fly and start moaning as if he was being sodomized. I started having to go into the urinal without even thinking twice. But it just kept getting worse. He kept moaning louder, and louder. Until it was unbearable -- I just couldn't take a piss! Rediculously inconsiderate. Needless to say, this semester I learned better and decided to use a different restroom.
If I only knew the guy's name -- I'd send him the link to this video in an e-mail. - holdemcharts, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3Someone needs to update WikiPedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinal
- KCorax, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4Please please don't encourage inconsiderate masses to modify wikipedia. Even Colbert stopped that.

- Freshjive787, on 10/12/2007, -42/+4normally i find things that simply state the obvious entertaining, but this was just awful.
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31you find stating a scenario where 3 people end up dead because of going to the toilet stating the obvious? im glad im not from where you are
- djhifisi, on 10/12/2007, -18/+6@Freshjive - you are right, this is retarded. Funny if you are 12. Now watch me get modded down to death...
- praveenmarkandu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11i absolutely love this
- SimonGray, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32I liked the first half where it actually stated the etiquette (which I agree with). The second part where it goes into this silly story where everyone vomits and piss themselves was just stupid.
- jellomizer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I agree. These rules are for basic respect of each other privacy not convenience. If you got to go and there is only one spot left you use it. Rarely violence ever occurs when these rules are broken. But the other people feel like their space is violated, and they feel uneasy during this time but usually there is no long term complications. For there scenario that guy had a lot of respectable options open to him.
1. Use an other stall.
2. Use the urinal that is was furthest away from the guys.
I remember seeing a little game in the late 90s that explained what was the best choice. It included rules of person physical intimidation, and age. It was well written. - codefreakxff, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5For everyone who doesn't like the second half, yes - it was silly. But to me it illustrated the deep seeded *fear* that if we don't follow these rules society will collapse.
The violence could be viewed as unnecessary, but I thought it was a good way of making fun of this fear. Do we really honestly think something terrible like this will happen? Aren't our bathroom rules pretty stupid if you stop and think about it? - mrlost117, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5...butt pudding "oh my god"
- jellomizer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I agree. These rules are for basic respect of each other privacy not convenience. If you got to go and there is only one spot left you use it.

- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21I was just explaining the "never, ever say a single word in a men's room" thing to a female friend the other week. She didn't know about that.
- speezer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I first learned of that rule many years ago when I read "The Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov.
- JorgeGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"to a friend ...to a lover... even to Jesus Himself! "
You know something is wrong when you start talking with Him in restrooms.... - scarlco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I was doing the same thing not too long ago - trying to explain men's room etiquette to a female friend. She just didn't get it. But then again, I'm convinced there's a buffet and a movie playing in the women's room. I envision it being like a social hour in there.
- mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5More like social two hours.
- SampMan87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10They also go in groups. "Hey, I have to use the restroom." "Alright, I'll go with you!"
Men NEVER do that. In fact, we avoid that at all costs. "Hey, I'm gonna take a piss." "I'll wait here." (he returns a few moment later.) "Hey, I'm gonna take a piss too."
- Avili, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13really nicely done.
- Maskawanian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I personally like my workplace which has vanity dividers between the urinals. Sure you can only fit as many urinals +toilets as toilets in the woman's bathroom, however it is much preferred rather then having to wait for someone else to finish.
- samgab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Oh, those dividers are great. They totally overcome the need for an empty "buffer" urinal zone.
- MainMor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Nope, sorry those dividers unless they go up to the ceiling are still not suitable. The others still want to talk to me and about work.... nope sorry... the rules must remain in place.
- yangj08, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I live in China- a very pleasant (notice the sarcasm) situation. Some toilets in my local area only have those "hole-in-the-floor" deals, which while removing the urinal issue (they were perpetually broken and eventually removed at a public toilet I went to once), make #2 a lot harder if you can't squat (talk about soiled pants). Others only have 1 urinal- no need for etiquette, you're on the only urinal. Others (fancier areas) put urinals behind lockable stalls- must have heard a couple of complaints from people like you (unfortunately, people sometimes still try to talk to me from neighboring stalls). Well- my area is strange, and certainly not representative of China (see for yourself) but it shows that sometimes etiquette is not learned because said issue was never faced.
- jfields026, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1There was an email that went around a while back with cartoons where you had to choose which urinal to use. It was similar to this, but funny all the same.
- onovanday, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7i failed that thing at every stage. don't you pick which urinal to use based on where the hottest guy is?
- Avili, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16here
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/urinal.php- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I dont get the last one, is it something to do with them being black? because you know, not being an overlly racially hypersensitive person I would know what
- Avili, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8no it has nothing to do with race, you leave because its crowded - you should wait for a urinal to become available rather then risk getting in between the two guys lest there should be splashback or sprayback in this case.
- booc0mtaco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1man, i remember this from high school 1999-2000. there is one of the guys that doesn't mind you sharing the urinal with him lol
- PradaPete, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1blatantly stolen from Maddox' Book...did you think we didn't notice
- lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1AWESOME
- djflow159, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4The first step is always wash your hands first. You don't know where your hands have been. Do you really want to touch your unit without washing first?
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24do you black out for periods of time? how do you not know where your hands have been?
unless you wake up in strange places or have memory problems you should always know where your hands have been
also most people probably dont wash their hands first, and do you see people having their penis drop off left and right? or start swelling up with warts and blisters? - limitbreakerx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yes.
- SuperCow1127, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4@Murdats
To be honest, I don't see penis all that often. YMMV.
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24do you black out for periods of time? how do you not know where your hands have been?
- eje211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Part 2 is directly lifted from Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys. Almost word for word. http://www.amazon.com/Dave-Barry-Complete-Guide-Guys/dp/0345440633/ There is now also a DVD, which I haven't seen. Anyway, it's pretty much the same. They reference good people.
- samgab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Dave Barry is a comic genius. I love his columns.
- meesterfox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Actually, when doing yard work, ALWAYS wash your hands first. I was cleaning out tons of weeds from under the porch and had to use the rest room. Naturally, I washed my hands after using it. the next day, I was COVERED with poison ivy. and yes... it was in places it should never be.. and in places that I questioned how it got there at all. So yes, in some cases, one SHOULD wash their hands first, before using the rest room.
- mrtee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0your dirt you fuc%.
- Moonpig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Doesn't cover stage fright, or the inability to perform at a urinal, in close proximity to other males in a restroom. A serious and debilitating psychological condition.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Ah yes, pee-shy. I suffer from this malady, myself.
The worst part is when there's a long line after a movie gets out or something, and it's finally your turn to go. But you have to wave all these guys past while you wait for stall availability. Then you're outed in front of all these people as the Pee-shy Guy. - captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It also doesn't cover the stadium urinals that are giant circles. Everyone standing around facing each other, man talk about an uncomfortable situation.
- scarlco, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Nor does it cover how to utilize a 'troth'. Dutchess County Fair, NY. Didn't know what to do with myself. Just can't pee into a tub with four other guys. I waited for a free stall instead.
- Moonpig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Trough - sorry.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Ah yes, pee-shy. I suffer from this malady, myself.
- kayakto, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1for real - why shouldnt i speak in the restroom...?
apart from the reasons pointed in the movie?- samgab, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Are you really a male? Or a female on digg? I don't know which is less likely, a male who doesn't understand these rules or a female on digg...
So confussed! - Darthmalt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8If you are with freinds and there aren't many other guys in the bathroom then normal conversational rules don't apply. Otherwise you are only allowed to say to three phrases.
"Are you waiting/ in line?"
"Someone's in t/here"
"go ahead" (for people waiting for an open stall instead of a urinal.) - Darthmalt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Addendum however even whith a large group while someone is taking care of buisness you still don't talk to them or expect them to talk to you. The chatting is strictly reserved for those who are waiting. And the phrase "did you fall in" should never EVER be uttered. Uttering that phrase should earn you an automatic swirly in an unflosed toilet.
- samgab, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Are you really a male? Or a female on digg? I don't know which is less likely, a male who doesn't understand these rules or a female on digg...
- generalleoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://www.outpostnine.com/editorials/engagement.html
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I first read that URL as enlargement. Cursed spam. Great article though.
- generalleoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm not really big on spamming up someone's story but the guy that wrote that is pretty well known on the Internet and I remembered he wrote an editorial on the subject matter so I figured not many people would mind if they haven't already read it.
- Jeddycakes, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Complete *****
- UberNick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1just awesome
- FishPoisonCon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5seriously, if you're nervous about standing next to another guy at a urinal, you have some personal issues you should look into... or just hold it until your mommy has time to take you into the ladies room with her.
- mrtee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0you know your gay when.
- mrtee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0you know your gay when.
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"over time, a urinal will become a rich orange"
damn funny - verlynmerlyn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0http://aroundtheusa.net/index.php?board=1.0
- macman424, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Asimov's Caves of Steel covers etiquette in both male and female restrooms.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And nobody use the second and the fourth.
- Sammy20, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1I just didn't find it funny. It wasn't annoying, it just didn't connect with me.
- superterran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm glad they decided to elaborate further on the Bathroom chapter of the great book 'Alphabet of Manliness' - keeping the equasions in my head for which urinal to take was getting too cumbersome. These guys not only explained it, but they also managed to kill three sims in the process. Maddox would be proud!
- raybury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7They forgot that when you do use the stall, regardless of the purpose -- number 2, number 1, sharing injectable steroids, sodomy -- you must ALWAYS lock the door. Period. Do not let me think that the stall is free because the door is open, only to find you doing #1 or the quarterback..
- stevenk87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ah, it's all too true.
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is there some sort of updated rules that takes midget urinals into account?
- Moonpig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't midgets have their own bathroom?
- Kflo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4An honorable PSA.

- buzzmanfly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think the points are dead on on establishing the rules but Voltaire once said something like "to over explain is to bore"
- ultra_lime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1“So they are discussing the advantages of open source development “
