"guy code"
i've occasionally thought about posting this and i don't have it set in stone somewhere so here is just as good a place as any.
rule #1: never talk to other guys in the bathroom. the only possible exception is maybe while you're both washing your hands - if you wash your hands.
rule #2a: never take a urinal adjacent to someone else if there is an available urinal that is not adjacent to anyone.
rule #2b: when encountering a set of three empty urinals, never take the middle one since that would eliminate someone else's ability to use a urinal while adhering to rule #2a.
if i ever think of more rules, i'll add them, but these are the main, important ones.

have a good day folks... that's all from here.

and we did talk....
ok i give. i guess this applies more to office acquaintances. i still don't like anyone in an adjacent urinal. i go to a stall a lot of times just because.
Posted by: smc at April 2, 2006 08:46 PMi agree with you scott. i don't care who you are, I'm not acknowledging you unless we are by the sinks, even then you may only get a quick hello and/or nod. don't forget, no eye contact! I think it's odd at work how when it's late and there aren't that many people around there are still at least 3-4 people in the restroom...
