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, here are some guidelines for proper etiquette in the restroom.  I’m not a big “rules” guy, but in this case, it seems necessary.

Urinals

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

Toilets

• If it’s locked, don’t knock.
• Don’t talk.
• Don’t tap your foot in view of others.
• Don’t reach into another stall.
• Don’t whistle.
• Don’t externalize a sigh of relief.  Keep it inside like all good men.
• DO courtesy flush.
• 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.

Aim Straight. Respect Others. Stay Clean.

Thank you for your cooperation.
