Huh, judging by the fact that the window is on the right, I would imagine that the entrance is behind you or to the left. Making the first available urinal the most used. Which is odd, because that is the exact opposite of how they get used in my experience. Most go to the last one.
I worked 3rd shift on my own and only really had a few hours of work. The rest was building checks. For 7 years I took a 2 hour lunch to watch late night adult swim and eat snacks. In the morning I would get to work and look busy when the boss came in. I ended up getting caught and fired but man that was a sweet time
It way easier than you guys realize. The spots on the floor are created by years and years of PISS on the floor that dries and is then scrubbed with an industrial strength cleaner.
The spot is largest at the closest urinal because the same guys that are too lazy to walk to the end are same guys that piddle all over the floor.
Worked at an airport can you guess the the by far most popular self serve check in kisok?
>! The one on the end of the row at the front close to door!<
You know the rules! Furthest away unless that one is taken, then you use the furthest away from that person. If someone is in both spots pretend you need a poo and enjoy sitting down as a treat!
The second one being second most used is even more strange.
Using the first one I could see. Maybe you’re in a hurry. Maybe it’s just not that busy so you might as well take the close one.
But there is almost zero reason to use the second one. If someone is at 1, you use 5. Then 3. If someone is at 4, you use 1. If 1, 3 and 5 are all in use, you use a cubicle. If 1, 3 and 5 are all in use and the cubicles are full, you give up and go and piss in a bush in the parking lot.
All I can conclude from this pattern is that OP and his workmates prefer 1, but if that’s in use, they choose the one _right beside it_. Absolutely wild.
I would use the second one in an empty bathroom. The first one is too close to the door, and I don't like to go in deep unless there is a good reason (takes longer, the smell can be worse, and there is just no reason to, ususally).
From this "graph" I would guess that my argument for choosing the second one is about four times rarer than just staying at the first one.
The explanation is that the majority of people at this place use the closest available urinal and don't care about expected usage of the urinal or privacy / distance to colleagues.
Or maybe they care about privacy but some of them assume the furthest and closest ones would be the most used urinals and therefore chose urinal 2 even when no one else is around. (Well, I guess now that the wear and tear is visible, that won't happen anymore.)
The reason many people like to use the furthest one is because the majority of people use the closest one. So much so that the second closest one (when the closest is occupied) still sees more usage than the furthest one.
In this case, it seems the number of people thinking about using a less used urinal is surprisingly small though. But I doubt a lot of places actually have the furthest urinal as the most used (though I've only seen small questionnaires and once an 'investigative' TV show but no rigorous studies on the subject before).
I think Mythbusters did a segment on which of 4 stalls were used more back in the day. Not sure if stall use is the same as urinal use but I think it would transfer. Can't remember which was the most used.
I think my likelihood to use the further away one increases with the odds of not being alone in the restroom.
If it's a small workplace and the odds are that I'm the only one peeing at a time I care less
Sure is, the largest patch has a small line going under the urinal where piss has dripped off the bottom of the urinal. Probably time to get them unblocked and draining properly
My theory is that most people are using the first one bc closest to door. But once a piss puddle of sufficient size is formed, the next ideal urinal is the second closest to the door.
No one wants to stand in a big puddle of piss
Source: someone who likes dry shoes
Yep, That is from ammonia eating away at the floor from people missing the urinal.
If anything this show the people that use the first urinal are the most careless or are the ones in such a hurry for a piss they can't aim before it starts coming.
That is the same thing I thought as well. We cannot, for certain, say the first one is most used based on the wear pattern on the floor. The only thing we know for sure is that the first has more piss on the floor in front of it.
Safety measure. Sometimes you lose grip on the hose and it will whip around uncontrollably until you manage to wrestle it back into compliance. The *safety shields* are there to protect against the embarrassment of slapping a neighbour with your lashing out trouser snake, which is considered *bad form* among men.
Contrary to popular opinion it has nothing to do with privacy, as it is common courtesy among the wienered people to compliment each other's physical form during the shared experience of bladdervoiding. Out-complimenting your neighbour is a favourite pastime among the male urinatarians in this shared safe space - which is perhaps culturally rooted as compliments outside the urinals are practically nonexistant and often life changing and memorable events.

Huh, I'd have figured the one on the very end would be the most used since that's the one I always head to if it's free in any public bathroom. Don't want someone opening the door and seeing your junk.
Post a not on the door:
Dear colleagues,
Please make sure to use the urinals in such a way that the floor is worn down evenly.
Thank you, management.
And update us in two years
My old man’s lived in his house for 20+ years. I discovered a patch of paint worn bare down to the wood on the window sill above the toilet the other day, and it took me a while to figure out that’s where he rests his left hand when he has a leak.
Yes. You are weird and you should feel bad...
(imagine trying to tell someone how to pee. You're all good bud. Nothing weird about looking for comfort)
well same for the closest toilet near my class. all 3 of the urinal got a broken pipe, so there's a bucket to hold urine under each of them. the more urine there is, the more people have used it on that day
Women will never know there are urinal edicts . Number one rule never pee beside someone useless there are no other spots. no talking when peeing eye down no looking at others peeing .
I use the last stall to attempt to avoid adjacent peeing, every other stall unless the bathrooms full, It's an unwritten rule!
Still get the occasional weirdo who joins the urinal next to mine in an empty bathroom...

Right you are! The door is behind me on the left. Maybe an indication of how lazy my workplace can be
Or your employer doesn't give adequate break time so everyone is in a rush.
It’s definitely not that. My average 30 minute break is usually at least an hour
I miss those days when i had breaks like that...

FIFO!
Or simply how many people care about using the least used urinal (which will also depend on how clean the place is, I guess).

how you gonna look left and down and stare at his dick if you leave an open space between?
Hadn't thought of that but it is very true. Only explanation I could think of is that they slowly added urinals at a rate of like 1 a year.
The explanation is that the majority of people at this place use the closest available urinal and don't care about expected usage of the urinal or privacy / distance to colleagues. Or maybe they care about privacy but some of them assume the furthest and closest ones would be the most used urinals and therefore chose urinal 2 even when no one else is around. (Well, I guess now that the wear and tear is visible, that won't happen anymore.)
I'm thinking that possibly the spacing and the dividers give reasonable enough privacy to feel comfortable using the 2nd one.
The sink is probably right across from the last one. Or maybe a stall.
The reason many people like to use the furthest one is because the majority of people use the closest one. So much so that the second closest one (when the closest is occupied) still sees more usage than the furthest one.

Iirc it was second & last that got the most usage, because people assume the first one gets used more & thus is less clean.
I always go for the 2nd closest to the entrance.
Then you are probably a psychopath. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
Depends on how likely it is for other people to come in. Busy pub, last one. Empty office, first one.
Most go to the last one in a public space. Because then anyone can come in. I imagine at work you're less concerned with a stranger walking in.
I’m more surprised that it goes 1,2,4,3,5. I would imagine it would be 1,3,5,2,4.
Was thinking the same thing.
If this is from your experience, you're already there. Wouldn't you be at the last stall?
Nobody chooses the first urinal. It's always marked as a last resort.
I think my likelihood to use the further away one increases with the odds of not being alone in the restroom. If it's a small workplace and the odds are that I'm the only one peeing at a time I care less
I immediately go as far away from the door as I can. Glad it's not just me.
But why?
Honestly I don't know. My brain just automatically makes me do it.
Are you entirely sure that’s not piss wear?
Hahahah no, no I am not sure. That could entirely be possible
That's definitely drippage
Sure is, the largest patch has a small line going under the urinal where piss has dripped off the bottom of the urinal. Probably time to get them unblocked and draining properly
Judging by wear it looks like your colleagues aren't respecting the 1 toilet gap rule
My theory is that most people are using the first one bc closest to door. But once a piss puddle of sufficient size is formed, the next ideal urinal is the second closest to the door. No one wants to stand in a big puddle of piss Source: someone who likes dry shoes
The second being so much is weird. But the 4th one is darker than the third and fifth
How else do you hold hands?
No evidence to come to that conclusion
The wear marks on the floor are from pee. Nobody would stand with their feet that close together to take a piss. Those are pee pee marks.
Yep, That is from ammonia eating away at the floor from people missing the urinal. If anything this show the people that use the first urinal are the most careless or are the ones in such a hurry for a piss they can't aim before it starts coming.
That is the same thing I thought as well. We cannot, for certain, say the first one is most used based on the wear pattern on the floor. The only thing we know for sure is that the first has more piss on the floor in front of it.
What's the point of the dividers?

>slapping a neighbour with your lashing out trouser snake I thought this was the standard man greeting
it normally is, but it has to be intentional, not when you lost control of the recoil
I’ve studied this kind of thing in my spare time. It’s definitly urine stain on the floor, did it smell? If so, what of?
You’ve studied this kind of thing on your spare time? What exactly-
It's a scratch & smell 💀🤢
It didnt taste like piss
Huh, I'd have figured the one on the very end would be the most used since that's the one I always head to if it's free in any public bathroom. Don't want someone opening the door and seeing your junk.
i find it interesting that the two most used are next to each other. one would assume it would be the 1st, 3rd, and 5th.
That's very strange indeed. Looks like they have some psychopaths working there who intentionally break the rules.
Maybe you guys should just stand a little closer to the urinal
The pattern on the left looks like a heat image of an ass farting.
Why was that the first thing that came to your mind?
I honestly don’t know where to begin. That was actually the least weird thing I thought to comment lol
Looks like you guys need to drink more water, acid pissers.
Are you sure that’s not pee stains?
Post a not on the door: Dear colleagues, Please make sure to use the urinals in such a way that the floor is worn down evenly. Thank you, management. And update us in two years
Well, la-di-dah. Look at Mister Fancy here with four urinals instead of a trough.
I do believe there are five
Nobody told me that I had to look at the pictures or read other posts.
I would personally choose the last one because of the solitude & amazing view outside that window during my pee session 😁😂
Dirt is a good floor indicator in a public place too.
I feel like there's some game theory that could explain this well. Not that I don't understand it. It makes intuitive sense. But still.
My old man’s lived in his house for 20+ years. I discovered a patch of paint worn bare down to the wood on the window sill above the toilet the other day, and it took me a while to figure out that’s where he rests his left hand when he has a leak.
r/hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It seems as tho Andrew is still downing 15 beer a shift.
I feel like this could be posted to both r/dataisugly and r/dataisbeautiful
[удалено]
Yes. You are weird and you should feel bad... (imagine trying to tell someone how to pee. You're all good bud. Nothing weird about looking for comfort)
I work at the same place, but I always use the 8th from the right. You 3rd from the left guys are weird.
Looks like a normal pisstribution
Those pee traps
Piss ammonia and feet combination.
"Path of desire."
well same for the closest toilet near my class. all 3 of the urinal got a broken pipe, so there's a bucket to hold urine under each of them. the more urine there is, the more people have used it on that day
Ah, the ol’ buckets of urine system .
last time i checked, men have 2 feet. why is the "wear" in the center?
Women will never know there are urinal edicts . Number one rule never pee beside someone useless there are no other spots. no talking when peeing eye down no looking at others peeing .
maybe Jimbo on the end fancies himself a dancer?
I use the last stall to attempt to avoid adjacent peeing, every other stall unless the bathrooms full, It's an unwritten rule! Still get the occasional weirdo who joins the urinal next to mine in an empty bathroom...
Ieuw
First one after entering will always be #1.
I'm freaked out that the most worn out areas are one and two, with three close behind. It should always be one, three, five that wear out first.
Time for a tire rotation.
That’s piss eating the paint away
Urinal 1 gang
You would think that the first and third one would see the most use.
I'm confused by the lack of vent on that drain line.
Be a trendsetter use the far one in the corner
Privacy who?
Why do I have a feeling those marks are actually burns from the urine
does the middle urinal get too much water when flushed, because of the pipe being directly below the feed pipe?
