People who enter five bay urinals and decide to plonk themselves in the middle one. Jolly poor etiquette.

Not as bad as the person who would use the 2nd one. Therefore leaving just one other available (4 or 5).

By using no3, at least no1 and no5 are both available.

Had a DVD delivered last night, ripped it to my computer then synced it to my ipod. Got on the train and can’t find the film furious

If you are interested in the film its an oldy called The Final Countdown - Sci-fi thriller in which a 1980s warship is transported back to the Second World War the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour

I wouldn't worry. It was a lousy film.

Go to the park at lunchtime, wanting to sit outside and eat a sandwich.

Only, you can't. Because all the fking geriatric old fks and fking "full time mummies" (according to Facebook and their fking chavscum tattoos) who descend on the place and take all the benches and tables. Just fk off and go home, you wkers, and leave the park for those who are working to pay taxes to maintain your lazy-as-fk lifestyles, you absolute fking spongefks. Between 12 and 2, just fk off and watch CBeebies or Countdown or that fking jizzbox Jeremy Kyle and "think of the fking children". Because were we talking about the seats on the bus near the door, you'd all be fking whinging about them being reserved for you and your bad knees/bad back/fat gunt/feral gobste children/laziness.

All I want to do is sit and eat a sandwich for 15 minutes, you fking plebcockwkfks. I hope someone combs your hair with a fking claw hammer, from range, without asking you.
Serves you right, only animals and foreigners eat outside.

Unwritten rule? Unless it is not possible, at least two urinals between urinators.

What?

If I need a piss, and there's someone at the adjacent urinal, do you know what I'll do?

Use it to take a piss.

Are you self-conscious about it? Do you spray a lot, and worry you'll 'tag' the person next to you?
Your preference is to deliberately stand next to a single person using a 5 person set of urinals? I suspect not*.
Hence the correct etiquette is as I suggested. Leave as many available such that nobody has to cosy up to someone else, until that's numerically impossible. Only then is it ok to rub shoulders.

  • (unless you're a pervert, in which case I guess...well done for standing your ground on your right to perv?).

Some interesting analysis on best-fill algorithms if you're having a one-space rule for urinals: https://blog.xkcd.com/2009/09/02/urinal-protocol-v...

Correct order should be..

1, 3, 5, 2, 4 and repeat. Comply with this rule in all situations of filling up the odd numbers first.

At busy times then, you are always going to be stood next to two people who are coming to the end of their slash, and by the time the next person joins in, you've nearly finished yourself.

I am waiting (not actually) until some trendy hipster bar installs a post-office style illuminated queue system in their urinals - "urinal number 1 please." Although I also realise that a hipster bar won't have enough space for more than 1 toilet because the entire place will have been built on top of the lift control mechanism hut for a high-rise building

Bagpipes. Just watching the Somme commemorations on BBC1 now where they've followed a lone piper. What a dismal piercing racket. Doesn't matter when they're played, but whenever I hear bloody bagpipes a wish someone would stick a knife in the bag and shut the unholy din up - completely spoils every occasion with that ear splitting row.
