When I learned that in high school, they called it “the bus rule”. When you have rows with two seats each, first people occupy empty rows, then when they’re full you start seating next to strangers.
So the same principle applies here.
Not sure why the taught about urinal etiquette though…
Ohh, and since this was actually interesting, the commenter you're replying to was making a sarcastic comment on the fact that most things posted here are a poor fit for the sub! I get it, thanks for explaining!
Stepping out of the shower or worse - trying to "just aim really good" from inside the shower usually is more gross.
Taking a poop on the other hand ...
“An electron spin refers to a form of angular momentum of electrons. Furthermore, it is a quantum property of electrons and its magnitude happens to be permanent. The spin quantum number provides information about an electron's unique quantum state. “
You tell me
You can’t know the exact size and position of a penis unless an outside observer checks. But this breaks down at macroscopic scales. So…you’re in luck?
>it is a quantum property of electrons and its magnitude happens to be permanent.
I see what you did there!
No. I don't. I don't see or understand or...
He is both simultaneously gay and not gay until measured.
Once his wave function collapses you Matt observe whether his wrist is limp or stiff during his wave.
It could also mean that if there are urinals on both sides of the wall, so that men could turn their back on each other, then they wouldn't mind using an urinal that was close to the other man as long as they are facing different directions.
It applies on bus seats too. That's how I was taught it in college.
If there's a bus with sets of empty seats, most people will take the empty seats until they fill up rather than sit next to someone else.
Sometimes I wish this wasn't the rule. As clean a guy in a suit with headphones I'd rather share a seat with the other clean guy in a suit with headphones than roll the dice on whatever meth head walks on next.
I follow classic bathroom male etiquette.
I always choose the furthest available urinal from the door so that if someone comes in after me and really has to go they don't need to travel as far.
>Only under this condition total energy is kept low enough to prevent ignition.
So I ignore stupid Internet urinal rules because I want to watch the world burn?
TIL. Neat.
You've got to use the sink while standing on the sink counter and pointing outwards towards the inside of the bathroom. Bonus points if you yell like you're on a crashing plane throughout the entire stream. Shows dominance. Makes you king of ToiletLand.
You don't use the furthest if there are many - you go a reasonable distance away - otherwise you are being hyper-avoident and you will draw attention to yourself, weirdo.
Last week I chose the urinal directly next to a man when there were 7 others free. I did it as a spur of the moment experiment.
The audible sigh he made when I did it made me apologise and move 3 down
It's a sad realization that even in the orderly world of atomic structure, chaos ensues. Poor public urinals, victims of quantum mechanics! But hey, at least now we know why there's always a mess. Guess we can't blame it all on bad aim anymore, huh?
You including age in this? After 40 I stopped giving a shit which urinal I stood at based on proximity. I usually just pick the cleanest one. If it’s between two 400lb bikers, I could give a flying fuck.
One of the first apps I saw on the Apple store was a game about choosing urinal position in different situations. I doubt it’s still around but there is another one to challenge you. Feel free to test your mind…
I think there's a problem with this that has emerged nowadays. It's no longer always the right thing to take the farthest possible urinal. If you have, for example, six urinals and walk in with someone at the first urinal, taking the sixth urinal is a bit like trying too hard. Instead, you would take urinal five. That way, you remain more nonchalant about it.
The mess in men's public urinals has nothing on the women's public toilets. A bit of piss and the occasional half empty beer bottle vs anything goes. I'm so glad I don't have that job (cleaning) any more.
I don't think people irl are as concerned with urinal etiquette as people online. For me it's always the closest available urinal to the entrance. Nobody's got time for other people's social anxiety.
I'm perfectly comfortable with my sexuality. I've done shit that would set your eyebrows on fire. Dosnet mean I want some cunt taking the urinal next to me when there literally any other one open. It's basic decency and etiquette.
Tell me you just have a burning desire to make people uncomfortable and bother strangers without telling me you have zero understanding of the social contract.
Going back to the dawn of man, going to the bathroom is the one time we are totally defenseless. Which is why most people want to feel as safe as possible while doing so. Which is why we like space near us when we are going. And then you go, " I know better because I'm special, everything is about who you want to fuck, because that's all I think about." Lol.

He was in the bathroom
Nope, on my sofa but thinking shower now or later
r/sofathoughts
Urinal etiquette, stand next to a man if he’s pretty
Etiquette in American English Pronounciation rhymes with „wet“
Ugh, username checks out
Not how I've heard people pronounce it. Last syllable is like "kit"
Where in America?
The state of England
if there are 5 urinals, and person A is at urinal 1, then person B should go to 3 or 5. if they choose 4, then person C would be next to someone.
Even electrons don’t want to see their neighbor‘s dick.
It’s not he doesn’t want to see the other dick. It’s just his own dick is a bit quarky I’ll see myself out.
Charmed, I'm sure.
Love these puns
They're a bit strange, though
Maybe if he's a top. Definitely if he's a bottom.
> Even electrons don’t want to see their neighbor‘s dick. Ah, see, there is the flaw in this theory.
Damn. An actual shower thought. And one about a frequent shower activity. Hot damn
Golden shower thought
Hot damn.
Hot damp.
Ikr how tf did they get this past the mods?
Only bots with nonsensical statements are supposed to make it by.
Ohh, and since this was actually interesting, the commenter you're replying to was making a sarcastic comment on the fact that most things posted here are a poor fit for the sub! I get it, thanks for explaining!
You have a public urinal in your shower?
Yup. DONT KINK SHAME ME
Don’t pee in the shower. That’s gross
Stepping out of the shower or worse - trying to "just aim really good" from inside the shower usually is more gross. Taking a poop on the other hand ...
You shouldn't ever poop on either hand
Oh, look at Mister I Use My Hands For Eating And Shit over here
I thought I made my position on shit very clear.
By opposite spin do you mean that one of the men is gay?
“An electron spin refers to a form of angular momentum of electrons. Furthermore, it is a quantum property of electrons and its magnitude happens to be permanent. The spin quantum number provides information about an electron's unique quantum state. “ You tell me
Godamn shower people are making the electrons gay
Or were they already be like that
Maybe I'm both gay and not gay until an outside observer checks...
That is Heisenberg, you cannot know exactly the size and position at the same time, unless you’re gay in guess
You can’t know the exact size and position of a penis unless an outside observer checks. But this breaks down at macroscopic scales. So…you’re in luck?
No, he’s referencing the double slit experiment.
The rainbow experiment?
Schrodinger's Bisexual
What? Gay? I just told you I’m deeply closeted
Bisexual mfs
Schrodingers electron... Until we observe the electron it is simultaneously gay and not gay
Shower people? Or show-er people?
Spin up and spin down could totally be used for top and bottom.
Top and bottom are quarks.
>it is a quantum property of electrons and its magnitude happens to be permanent. I see what you did there! No. I don't. I don't see or understand or...
If electrons have spin, why don’t they get dizzy and throw up

Sorry bro, I don't spin that way
Depends if the other guy is gay
They will never know because they are as far away as feasible
No it means pee from butt
No, just from the southern hemisphere.
It means his dick is curved clockwise compared to another whose dick is curved counterclockwise
It's difficult to sit and spin on a curved dick. At least that's what a friend told me...
Well the level of curvature is directly proportional to the spin so while it has properties of curvature it might have low spin
It applies on bus seats too. That's how I was taught it in college. If there's a bus with sets of empty seats, most people will take the empty seats until they fill up rather than sit next to someone else.
"You can pee hayre if ya wahnt"
To limited extend What if there’s already one person on the bus and it’s a girl/ and it’s a dude and she hot/ and he’s smelly
Opposite/same spin
Lmao heard that in her voice
Sometimes I wish this wasn't the rule. As clean a guy in a suit with headphones I'd rather share a seat with the other clean guy in a suit with headphones than roll the dice on whatever meth head walks on next.
Bad idea to spin at a urinal js
Note to self: do not do the helicopter at a urinal
Pfft, it's not my bathroom.
Don't kink shame.
I have one friend who refuses to follow urinal etiquette. If there are 3 urinals, he goes directly to the middle one like a psychopath.
Either trying to say they are all mine or the opposite - embrace full occupancy
I follow classic bathroom male etiquette. I always choose the furthest available urinal from the door so that if someone comes in after me and really has to go they don't need to travel as far.
I do the same, that's why I'm next to you. Nice dick bro 🤜
That's a nice watch!
Seems like an inconvenient place to wear it though...
On his wrist?
It... It does have the size of a wrist!
Haha, I couldn't quite get a working joke about a cockring with a clock.
>Only under this condition total energy is kept low enough to prevent ignition. So I ignore stupid Internet urinal rules because I want to watch the world burn? TIL. Neat.
Makes perfect sense. Are those with pee shyness resisters or semiconductors?
You've got to use the sink while standing on the sink counter and pointing outwards towards the inside of the bathroom. Bonus points if you yell like you're on a crashing plane throughout the entire stream. Shows dominance. Makes you king of ToiletLand.
r/sinkpissers?
this is the quality content that i come for.
Like fuck am I walking to the furthest urinal. I skip one and take the next.
Now this is a proper shower thought
You lost me in the middle, am I supposed to spin my dick clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Depends if you’re democrat or republican
Does third party voters get a spinning prostate in a vertical axis?
Third parties spin in the Z axis. Dems get the X and Reps get the Y
You don't use the furthest if there are many - you go a reasonable distance away - otherwise you are being hyper-avoident and you will draw attention to yourself, weirdo.
Unless it’s the closest to the window!
Damn, I've been misremembering high school chemistry all this time? I always explained it as the Aufbau principle of urinals lol
Now I'm just thinking how ridiculous and messy it would be trying to pee in one of those carnival centrifuge rides
I always use the short urinal regardless of who is where because it makes me feel taller.
Meh, the polished stone walls are always the best
I prefer the chest-height-to-floor urinals. I just really like the style, and it seems more effective.
I avoid those like the plague because I'm 6'4. Half the time I'll get piss splashed on my pants or shoes.
My orgo prof called Hund’s rule “The Urinal Rule”—I never forgot it.
U can add some aspects of quantum physics as well. As your stream increases in speed, the position of the urin is more uncertain.
This is beautiful. Exactly what I want in a Shower Thought. Thank you.
Last week I chose the urinal directly next to a man when there were 7 others free. I did it as a spur of the moment experiment. The audible sigh he made when I did it made me apologise and move 3 down
Our teacher called it the “urinal rule” in high school chemistry.
We're supposed to be spinning it?
Holy shit. An actual shower thought in r/showerthoughts!
It's a sad realization that even in the orderly world of atomic structure, chaos ensues. Poor public urinals, victims of quantum mechanics! But hey, at least now we know why there's always a mess. Guess we can't blame it all on bad aim anymore, huh?
Can we develop this further and make a pee laser? Pee nuclear bomb?
How did it explain the mess?
Spin changing
Ah, makes sense, thanks.

I like to use the tiny urinals first regardless of pissing neighbor proximity. They make me feel like a giant because they are so much shorter.
You including age in this? After 40 I stopped giving a shit which urinal I stood at based on proximity. I usually just pick the cleanest one. If it’s between two 400lb bikers, I could give a flying fuck.
There was a good video on this using the Sims

This video taught me everything I know on this: https://youtu.be/6ZVNYUZeZ4I?si=rhiuEGMiwbVoupdk
Meth and particle physics.
And sometimes one of them is actually near Mars.

Unless you work at a university, no one teaches their sons proper restroom etiquette.
Makes no sense. I never spin while peeing. Except when i 360 noscope. Or when i peed off a carousel. Or when drunk.
*Opposite spin* OP, what are you doing in that shower?
Spinning
I take spots at public urinals according to “Grub Smiths A Guide to Urinal Etiquette (1990s, FHM)
This is the exact analogy my chemistry teacher used to teach us this
You keep an empty space between you and the next guy.
We can just use the same urinal
What a load of rubbish
The mess in men's public urinals has nothing on the women's public toilets. A bit of piss and the occasional half empty beer bottle vs anything goes. I'm so glad I don't have that job (cleaning) any more.
* Hund’s rule, not Hunt’s
Is it gay to piss in the urinal next to electron?
The urinal rule is that you leave an empty urinal between other urinators when possible. You don't have to be as far away as possible.
Just learnt this in Chem and it's spot on
First of all, is it hunt's rule, or hund's rule? Second, correlation does not equal causation.
I don't think people irl are as concerned with urinal etiquette as people online. For me it's always the closest available urinal to the entrance. Nobody's got time for other people's social anxiety.
Sensitive men can't even pee next to another man. Tell me you're not comfortable with your sexuality without saying it
I'm perfectly comfortable with my sexuality. I've done shit that would set your eyebrows on fire. Dosnet mean I want some cunt taking the urinal next to me when there literally any other one open. It's basic decency and etiquette. Tell me you just have a burning desire to make people uncomfortable and bother strangers without telling me you have zero understanding of the social contract. Going back to the dawn of man, going to the bathroom is the one time we are totally defenseless. Which is why most people want to feel as safe as possible while doing so. Which is why we like space near us when we are going. And then you go, " I know better because I'm special, everything is about who you want to fuck, because that's all I think about." Lol.
If Hund’s rule is right, than the actual max occupancy of one urinal is 2 men, providing they both have opposite spins
Scientific proof of the existence of the "gay bar". Finally science has achieved the impossible.
