It is not that hard-When you enter, you take the farthest one to one side or the other. Any subsequent entries should slot in every other spot. Exceptions can be made if you know each other already or every other stall has the stupid one that is only a foot off the ground for kids. If every other stall is full pick the one where people seem most likely to be finished beside you. - NO looking to the side. Eyes straight ahead at all times. Its good when they put something there for you to read. - NO shaking it more than a few times-Ohteriwse youre just playing with yourself. -NO leaning your arms or hands against the wall or stall side blinders/privacy dividers. Stand there and use at least oen hand to hold your junk. -NO making relieved noises regardless of how relieved you are. -PUT your junk away and start to zip up before turning to face new visitors to the restroom. WHat am I missing?

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

Before filling in directly next to an occupied urinal, opt for an empty stall. Do NOT pee all over the seat however, it's the MEN'S room. It's perfectly acceptable to leave the seat up!

I dunno about that one. People are more likely to NEED (and I mean really NEED!) a full stall than a urinal, if you know what I mean…

If there are a few open stalls, then yes, but they're often limited. Plus, you have to lift the seat many times, which involves touching that surface.

BTW, I prefer restrooms that have the "maze" doors, not actual doors that require opening. No touching a surface unwashed hands have touched a thousand times that day with the "maze" style.

Place your junk over the urinal to urinate. No peeing on the floor. No one like pee all over the soles of their shoes.

Flush (if not automatic)

Get/Carry a kleenex if you don't like touching the handle. I keep Kleenex packets in the car as well as anti-bacterial liquid

I'm frequently surprised by the number of guys who are unfamiliar with the International Choice of Urinal Protocol.

Carrying your own Kleenex could cost you your man card. Grab a paper towel or some TP on the way in.... ;-)

A real man would grab the guys hand next to him and force him to flush!

Agreed, and that's what I do. The Kleenex and antibacterial remain in the car ... unless I'm on a date. Then I may ask the woman if she needs a tissue as in "Need anything before we go in? Tissue, antibacterial liquid, condoms, gum, concealed weapon?"

Please do not ask "what is up" to the guy next to you ...

Carry your phone conversation out side the rest room, if you must carry on a loud phone conversation, try using the country's language of which you are currently taking a whiz in

I am not 100% sure why some feel it manditoty to spit prior to using the urinal ...

Please for the love of god, if you must preform nose maintaince, please do so in the stall and do leave residue on the wall top of the urnial ...

Public service announcement from the plumber: The low urinals are not for kids (although they do work well for them) , they are actually ADA.

Hmmm. And I always thought the low ones were for people that are long. ;-)

Are they?  In our labs in Boston, there was this one manager I will call, "Little Napoleon".  He was a tyrant.  The only bathroom on that floor, the 3rd floor in a chemical research lab, had a low urinal.  Obviously no children work in a research lab.  Ipso facto: the low urinal was for him! :-D

I didn't say anything about who actually uses them, and what they work well for... :)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
