A wee bit of etiquette

There's rules that men should follow in the gents' room, and not everyone adheres to them.

1. Assuming there are three urinals, and I am at the end one - you will not stand at the middle one.
2. Similarly, even if there is no-one in the gents', you will not use the middle urinal - this forces me to stand beside you when I come in.
3. The middle urinal is only to be used if the outer urinals are already in use.
4. You will not engage in any chit chat more than a cursory "Alright?" - even just a nod of the head is enough. Talking may commence only if both gentlemen are at the handwashing stage.
5. Especially as I'm just entering one of the traps - I don't want to stand on the threshold forcing a conversation about what you're doing at the weekend. Save that for your hairdresser.
6. Flush anything which needs flushing.

That's all for now.

True enough. I go there to pee, not make friends.
