The acceptable distance to stand behind someone at the urinal?

[kwsaint]

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.

If you can feel their breath on your neck it's just about right.

[daveygwyatt]

If they can reach over and hold it for you, then they are too close. Hope that helps.

I warm myself up by rubbing myself against the person in fronts crevace. Means I have a lazy by the time I have a wee, making me look massive, and it gets me going as well.

[david in sweden]

total waste of effort - you all ought to wear nappies instead.

 

Let's face it, a few more performances like Monday night ...and you'll be shi**ing yourselves as well !

[stthrobber]

To be honest, most of the time I'm too busy concentrating on trying not to fart before I piddle to notice, but I would say, as a rule of thumb, that a thumb is too close.

[Big_Bald_Si]

3m does seem excessive. I think generally so you're not invading their personal space. Can't stand it when I'm at my desk and someone stands right next to me to chat to me, literally right in my face.

 

1.5m -> 2m I'd say.

 

Good thread by the way.

Depends how high you're trying to p1ss

[The Cat]

Also depends how busy it is in the bogs because sometimes people invade your space and try to nip in front if you wait too far back.

 

On a slightly different note I haven't seen anyone p1ssing in the sink lately.

Good job some of you never used the toilets in the Milton at half time, the bloke behind you peed in your pocket

Ahhh, now I know who you are

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Ahhh, now I know who you are

 

You were the one who reached back and tickled my balls I assume?

Don't be silly - I clearly have to use both hands to keep my wee on target.

[scotty]

I think theres an entry in Rogers Profanisaurus about this very subject. Look under Yellow Arrows.

I tend to have to use both hands to lift the bloody thing to be honest...

[Whitey Grandad]

So long as you're not getting wet, what's the problem?

[stardustonmyfeet]

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.

[Dr Who?]

If someone is to close, I cannot go!

Perhaps you should let him use the cubicle on his own....

[Jonnyboy]

Jeez guys, get a room already

[richardc]

Its not the people behind that I have an issue with but the dirty b@@stard next to me that I am drenched by with his splash back trouble is I'm too polite to say anything

[Junior Mullet]

Cottaging is fun.

[SNSUN]

Is it wrong to poo in a urinal?

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.

[stardustonmyfeet]

That is a brilliant idea!
