Bathroom Etiquette

Mostly guys will understand this one (some crazy girls out there too)...What is the proper etiquette for handling stage fright at the urinal? This is a question for the Frightened and Frightener (is that a word?). Here are some thoughts...

Frightened: What do you do when you're standing and waiting to start like always, then a coworker rushes into the stall right next to you and barely has time to unzip before unleashing insta-stream? Do you panic? If not, how are you supposed to avoid panic's onset? You should have already been done twice, and this fucking guy has just beaten you to the punch and finished! Do you look to the heavens and pray? Close your eyes and focus? I don't know, i've tried and both, and neither really releases the hounds.

Frightener: You're a smug prick with your automatic bladder.

I don't know about you, but I'm not the sort of guy who likes to spend more time in the bathroom than I have to. When I get in, it's go time: eyes front, zipper down, business getting done.

By the way, I've always been a fan of newspaper clippings/box scores tacked up on a board above the urinals. In one bar I used to frequent, they had old Calvin & Hobbes comics. Although I don't normally condone whipping it out in front of 8-year-olds, in this case it provided a welcome distraction.

Start your stream ahead of time and time it so you hit the ground running. Just don't fumble with your zipper
