The acceptable distance to stand behind someone at the urinal?

Not wishing to lower the tone of the conversations here but sometimes I feel like the person behind me is a little to close and sometimes I feel like I must smell or something as they are 3m behind me. So what is the acceptable distance?

 

I'm going for about 1m as anymore and I feel like I have BO or something.

Too close is when the person behind is close enough to risk getting hosed-down when the one at the urinal feels things are a little too close for comfort. So... 2 metres should be safe...

 

My own bugbear concerning lack of respect of personal space is when a certain type of bloke who I have the misfortune to put up with sits with his legs as wide apart as possible like a gorilla, so their knee ends up pushing up against mine. Can't stand it, and there's no excuse for it. Polite requests to stop inevitably result in the **** taking offence.

I used to sit next to a bloke like that at SMS. Was always in my space. I ended up taping a drawing pin to the outside of my knee (use thick gaffa tape and push the point through). Every time time his knee pushed on mine he he looked as though he'd been stung by a bee, but puzzled. Twas hilarious, stopped him doing it sharpish too.
