Here
are some of the funny things I have observed.
Men
and women have a different way of behaving, especially in public restrooms. We
all know, or at least assume, that women go into the restroom together to do
makeup and talk… but what happens in the men’s room? Here are some things I
have observed:
- Conversation
stops at the door! Occasionally, a conversation will continue until standing at
the urinals, but that is a rare occurrence.
- Urinals
have an automatic “Code of Conduct” when the men using them are not directly
related. If someone is at one urinal and there are more than two available, you
do NOT choose the urinal
next to the one being used. That is too forward and uncomfortable.
- If
two urinals are being used and there is one open between the two, chances are
one will try a regular toilet in a stall before going to that urinal.
- Only
30% wash their hands after using the facilities. Some are not even embarrassed
to walk past all other men washing their hands.

- Talking
on the cell phone is allowed.
- I
once was in the Monterrey International Airport and heard a man in a stall
“ripping” some huge amounts of gas while on the cell phone for business with a
colleague.
- Many
crane their necks to hold their cell phone to continue their conversation while
emptying their bladder at the urinal. (I always want to see the phone slip and
fall into the urinal…)
- I
do not know women complain about men not putting the seat down – I just want
men to put the seat up! All too often when I need to use the toilet, I pass
from stall to stall looking for a toilet seat without urine on it. The urge to
go passes quickly.
- Men
are like dogs. No need to aim for the urinal or the toilet – just mark your
territory for all to know.
- There
are some urinals with fake houseflies imprinted on them. Manufacturers have
found that restrooms stay cleaner when men have something to aim for.
