Do people really struggle this much to urinate? It seems crazy to not be able perform a basic bodily function like this. I honestly had no idea. Though, I do question why one of these two isn't following basic urinal etiquette. One stall between, otherwise use a toilet, otherwise wash your hands first and then, if no one has moved, you're allowed to ride side saddle.
Some dude used a urinal right next to me with five urinals available, and I stared at him until I finished. He never looked at me. Come to think of it, I don't know if he started peeing until I was done, but that seems like an edge case. His fault though.
Edit: wow, given the quick downvotes, it looks like it's more common than I thought here on Lemmy, and it appears I touched a nerve! Lol
I'm going to start bringing a stopwatch into the bathroom and very obviously start it when someone sidles up to the urinal. ๐
Try it at home, too. It takes 21 seconds to pee. It's freakishly accurate throughout the animal Kingdom. My theory on shy bladder is that our brains know how long it takes, so when we take a while to start, everything compiles and we get nervouser and nervouser as we approach that 21 second limit.
I just use the stalls, but that's mainly because I'm self conscious about my peeper, and I've seen enough cruising in the men's room porn to be worried about Looky loos /s
While I've said no one is paying attention to you if you're not peeing -- and I think it's largely true, I've never really noticed if someone doesn't start peeing; I guess I would just assume they were stealth peeing against the side of the urinal -- I have to admit I do notice those old guys that stand there for like five minutes leaking it out a spurt at a time. They seem to defy the 21 second rule.
