Her mistake is she that asked “These are things you guys need to think about?” Guys don’t need to think about it at all, it comes instinctually.

Honestly, as a woman, if I was faced with the same options I would have made the same choices. It’s pretty obvious just from a personal space perspective. Yeesh.

Also would it really be that hard to like, put half a wall up between urinals? Like I feel like humanity could’ve solved this issue by now.

Some times there’s a partial wall between them, but the rules are still same.

u/arbitrageME 7d ago

yeah, but why is the partial wall less than shoulder height? it blocks literally nothing

It's for spray accidents not for privacy.

I have two responses:

  1. eww

  2. makes sense

Don't imagine is deliberate. Sometimes, jet hiting the urinal wall will result in a big splash that the urinal margin may not hold. That separator is there to save the neighbor, or you from a neighbor. And with this in mind, the free urinal choice makes more sense and that is why is instinctively known to men.

Some urinals are more splashy than others, too.

Some of those fuckers seem like they were designed with maximum splash-back in mind!

You gotta wave the stream around for a bit until you find that sweet spot which minimises splashback.

Just use your brain? You don't want to piss at a right angle to a surface. Look for a curve, it's like landing a skateboard in the transition on half pipe versus landing on in the flat.

No kidding. Sometimes you try and hit the urinal from different angles, naively assuming that there must be an angle that doesn’t splash back. But no. Apparently they’re designed with only two results: some spray back or a BUNCH of spray back. That’s why I go for a stall if they’re available and don’t look actively infectious. That way you get some distance from the strike zone. (Guess I’ve been holding these insights back for a long time. Thanks for hearing me out. ✌️)
