The Official Men's Room Etiquette
Aptitude Exam
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 that urinals 3 and 6
|1|2|3|4|5|6| are occupied.)
-------------
You are to identify correctly, based on urinal
etiquette, at which stall you are to correctly stand.
Good luck!
Easy Section
1.)
|.|x|.|x|.|.| (Urinals 2 and 4 occupied.)
|1|2|3|4|5|6|
-------------
Your choice: ___
Correct answer: 6
It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy instinctively knows this.
2.)
|x|.|.|.|.|.| (Urinal 1 occupied.)
|1|2|3|4|5|6|
-------------
Your choice: ___
Correct 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: __
Correct 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: ___
Correct 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.
Exceptions to this are stadium restrooms where the herd thunders in.
Subtle, tricky, but important to know Section
5.)
|.|x|.|.|x|x| (2, 5 and 6 occupied)
|1|2|3|4|5|6|
-------------
Your choice: __
Correct answer: 4
Believe it or not, 1 and 3 "couples" you with the guy in stall 2.
And we wouldn't want THAT now, would we?
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: ___
Correct answer: NONE!
You go to the mirror and pretend tocomb your hair or straighten a tie
until the urinals "open up" a bit more. If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD,
for goodness sake! ... 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.
I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of
anyone other than yourself. A 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".
