Proper Men’s Room Protocol

Too many dudes are ignoring proper men’s room protocol these days. Especially in public places like restaurants, businesses, theaters, churches, airports, etc. I don’t know if it’s because they grew up without dad’s, brothers, or what? But something’s gotta change.

To help I’ve compiled some guidelines for proper etiquette in the restroom.  I’m not a big “rules” guy but in this case, it seems necessary.  Feel free to add to it in the comments section.

Urinals

1. Never saddle up next to another dude unless absolutely necessary.
2. Always take the urinal farthest away from another guy.
3. If the option is to stand between two guys or take an empty stall. Take the stall.
4. Don’t talk.
5. Always look straight ahead.
6. Avoid eye contact.
7. If there’s a line, don’t stand behind someone using the urinal. Give them lots of space.
8. Aim (You’d be surprised. Well…maybe not).

Toilets

1. If it’s locked, don’t knock.
2. Don’t talk.
3. Don’t tap your foot or you might be arrested.
4. Don’t reach into another stall.
5. Don’t whistle.
6. Don’t externalize a sigh of relief.  Keep it inside like all good men.
7. DO courtesy flush.
8. Don’t call someone while doing your business.

And for the good of all mankind, wash your hands with soap. Especially in a public restroom.

To make this world a better place we need to make the men’s room a better place.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Respect Others. Aim Straight. And make this world a better place.
