Men's Restroom Etiquette

Another place that some people like to forget about the well being of others is in the restroom. When you are in the comfort of your own home you can do whatever you want in there. But when other people are involved some common courtesy can go a long way. When using the urinals always give at least a one urinal buffer zone between you and the next guy because some people do not want others right next to them when trying to do their business. Second, do not carry on a conversation with someone while they are in front of or using the urinal as some people need to concentrate on the job at hand. Third, sneaking peeks is strictly forbidden. There is also the aspect of how far people like to stand form the urinal in order not to get the splash back. Anything more than a foot to a foot and a half is acceptable. When you stand further than that you are just trying to put on a show for the others. Also, the hands on the hips approach is a big no-no. No one wants to see you all out there. Last but not least no noises should be coming out of your mouth while you are going because that is just creepy and unnecessary.



Just a quick tidbit on using the stalls. Again no noises should be heard from you while you are in there. This is the most important rule of all, can we please use the courtesy flush. Again, when alone do as you please, but when it effects others just think for a second
