Yep. Do it all the time.

PH doesn't have to become an avatar-ridden hell of modernity simply to afford us an opportunity to say 'thanks - you were helpful/made me chuckle/whatever' without having to resort to quote-posting.

"one"

It makes "get" pale into insignificance.

Hailing from Balmoral, I guess you say 'one' quite frequently.

Nah, he's more "Yes, your Lordship, three bags full, your Lordship".

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.
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?).
No, my preference is not to rub shoulders with someone else, but you're suggesting that a urinal is 'unavailable' if someone is using the adjacent one?

That's a bit pathetic. You're a grown man (apparently), if you need to piss, who the fk cares if someone is standing next to you?!
My mistake. I had assumed I was talking to a group of adults. Everybody else was able to figure out I was talking about the next person to come along, and therefore which urinals would be available while sticking to social convention. You however apparently need to have everything defined out to the last intimate detail.

Presumably if you were getting directions and were told to "turn right here", you'd drive up the driveway next to a junction, rather than into the junction. Perhaps try thinking on a little from what's been suggested and you'll find this reading lark is a lot less confusing.

Things that annoy you beyond reason? People who are unable to think for themselves.

People who enter five bay urinals and decide to plonk themselves in the middle one. Jolly poor etiquette.
Even weirder as those strange men who rest their foreheads on the wall while peeing.

Unless so drunk that they can't stand, but by that point urinal etiquette is probably not at the forefront of their mind. (The wall is.)

Apologising when you're clearly not sorry!

An idiot decided to undertake me on the motorway this morning. I was in the outside lane patiently waiting for the person in front to pass the next car then move in, when suddenly some dhead in a Skoda came down the middle lane and cut straight in front of me.

After I'd politely gestured my dissatisfaction at this manoeuvre he waved his hand to say sorry. Well clearly you're not sorry. A sorry wave is delivered when you've made a mistake such as not seeing someone or misjudging somebody's approaching speed. It's not for some twerp who's driven down the middle lane and cut somebody up, that's not a mistake that's a judgement call. fknut!!

His bloody apology made me more annoyed than his driving, and I again (less politely this time) demonstrated this via some creative sign language. At least he had the decency to get out the way afterwards.

You sir are distinctly weird.

I expect you like MMA and roids for breakfast. Enjoy.

The urinal thing's not remotely interesting any more guys.




People who use the phrase 'brain out' to describe a subjective movie experience:

'Yeah, went to see Batman vs, Superman the other night, as a brain-out movie it was pretty good.'

Look, 'brain-out' simply means you didn't have to concentrate on plot etc. If you enjoy watching fantasy figures dressed in all-in-one lycra with superpowers flying around fighting other similar flying beings with superpowers then just say so... don't try and justify your enjoyment by saying it's 'brian-out' FFS. You're a fantasist with developmental issues, just deal with it.

Less of the 'git' please.

"Superiority complex"? I feel inferior to adults who get their jollies watching people with different superpowers (oh FFS!) in costumes pretend-fly and fight each other? Seriously?? Good Grief! laugh
