    If you know the guy standing next to you, do you ever talk?

    Any information is appreciated. Most women would never, could never, ever bear the lack o' privacy.

    One hard lesson learned, you don't want to eat THOSE cakes.

    Ever.

    No matter how hungry you are.

    There's no talking in the mens room.

    Okay, right there. Already we've addressed another mystery.

    What exactly is the function of the 'urinal cakes?' Why are they there? What exactly are they?

    It's a world about which I know nothing.

    Okay, Wattowatta. You find yourself next to George Lucas. You absolutely would not talk with him?

    Women usually chat with other women they don't know in public bathrooms.

    It's hard to chit-chat when trying to get Lil' Cigam to preform.

    Most men hate it, too, so it's mystifying why urinals continue to be arranged that way. Probably some snot-nosed efficiency expert who's never used one in his life thought it up.

    Well, it's obvious what he's there for. Let the guy go about his business. Trust me: THERE IS NO TALKING IN THE MENS RESTROOM.

    Not only is there no talking in the men's restroom, but eye-contact is grounds for a fist fight.

    You just don't do it.

    I agree. The no talking rule must be observed. The only thing I hate worse than urinals are the troughs at the Baseball field. What genius thought this one up??

    Sometimes in a restaurant or bar the urinal will be filled with ice. I've never understood that. Just once I'd like to see shaved ice. Then it would be like making snowcones.

    I agree with Red and Cloud. Absolutely no talking. There's a guy at work that insists on getting next to anyone at the urinals. There are 5 urinals and no one else in the bathroom. Then he preceeds to talk, "What're you up to?". What the hell does it look like, sheesh. I'm using the stalls from now on.

    The urinal trough is still something I will never comprehend.

    Finally, one thing on bathroom behavior. Why do people insist on smelling their fingers when they miswipe? You know it stinks...

    The no talking rule is suspended when very close friends are involved, and in most bars, or other places where drunken men gather to urinate.

    Eye contact on the other hand is a definate foupax and as asserted earlier is usually grounds for some sort of mele (as is peeing on your neigbor's shoes.) But what will almost certainly earn you an ambulance ride is peeking at your neighbor's unit. Not acceptable at all.

    The cakes are there for deoderization purposes, but are always a laught riot when slipped into your coworkers coffee.

    talking is only allowed on rare circumstances, and only if there are dividers between urinals.

    eye contact is never allowed

    You can talk only if you're close friends and one of you isn't actually at a urinal.

    Fascinating...

    You see in some women's restrooms, there's a rule that says you can't leave until you know everyone's life story. And of course, there's the goal to never head to the restroom w/o a friend.

    I'm glad to hear you find urinals weird too. Men's use of them always struck me as bizzare, primal behavior.

    Yeah, but then again, when chicks go to the bathroom, they ask each other "Want to go to the bathroom with me?" You never see them just get up and go alone. If a bunch of people are out somewhere, you never hear guys ask each other
    to go to the bathroom.

    Anyone ever see the ESPN college football commercial with Kirk Herbstreit?? They know everything about football, and one commercial has Kirk teaching two guys proper etiquette at the urinals. Eyes straight ahead at all times, and no talking until everyone?s zipped up. That commercial makes me LOL every time I see it.

    guys actually prefer to go alone, as opposed to women.

    It sucks having a community bath. You can't even poop in peace. That's one thing I took for granted at home.

    CC: Huh?

    I'm merely a woman with urinal-envy. LOL! -I made myself laugh.

    I am *so* happy I'm a woman. I'd be fascinated to spend a day as a man.
