Men and Women Restroom Habits Dissimilarity
It's common knowledge that women go to restroom in packs, but men do it too.

It’s a puzzle why women go to washroom all together, and why does it take them a freakin’ bluemoon in doing it. I mean, I can finish all Stephen King’s books before the girls reappear themselves from peeing.

 

I know it’s longer for a woman to leak; and there’s more hassle. But come on, I think you use that place to giggle and gossip. That’s about it, right?

 

Men do it too, but we just won’t say it out loud, like “Hey bros, let’s go to washroom together”, for the obvious reason of it sounding too gay. But it goes like this: one guy would want to pee, and now that he says it, the other men would now feel they needed to pee; so in turn, everybody’s peeing!

 

I’ll tell you what’s happening inside our “man room”. First, guys don’t pee next to each other in urinals. Usually, there are about four to eight urinals, so a man is free to choose which wall he’ll face. But it’s awkward to pee next to each other, it’s erratic and uncomfortable. There’s a study that implanted a camera in urinals, and it took longer for men to start leaking when next to some other dude.

 

It’s not a networking event, so men shouldn’t talk so much there. Public restroom is disgusting, and I always wanted to get straight to business and get out of it at the soonest possible time. But see, there are men who prate while peeing. They are the ones who talk about his singleness or his bowel issues. They should be hanged, and then stabbed to be sure.

    Laughing out loud. . .really i’d move away from even my best friend if we had to go pee at the same time. LOL. Kinda unconsciously awkward grabbing it side by side. LOL.

    Okay— this reminds me of micro lab testing the “eating” surface in hospital breakroom and finding bacteria you don’t want to even think about being where your food may rest. Both sexes need to watch health documentary on why one needs to wash after being in the restroom. AND the trashcan needs to be where one can drop paper towel after openning the door. Forget the “air-drying” machines, also! (Sorry this is a “bad experience memory” for me. One lab I worked in had health issues from people not washing their hands after going to the bathroom that nearly put everyone in the hospital. Which is one place you do not want to be if you enjoy any kind of life!)

    haha, this is funny! I always had the question in my mind, but up to now, I have not asked anyone in person.. lol.. thanks for sharing how awkward guys feels, but hey, the boobs part is a big No-No. I mean, it’s a very rare sight to be seen. Actually I have not seen any until now. Anyways, a great funny post! :D

    I had two women roommates and they said that they carry on conversations while sitting down in the middle of the act. And that’s for #1 or #2!

    The reason why guys don’t talk while peeing is that it’s awkward having a conversation with another guy while grasping your penis. (Actually, that’s MY penis, not yours I’d be grasping.) As for #2 – most guys I know are like me where we don’t like to do that with anyone else in the bathroom, let alone when there’s a buddy in the next stall.

    Funny stuff! Congrats for your blog and thank you for liking my post!

    Sorry to disappoint, but I very rarely see or do the boob adjusting thing… ;)

    However, what the other chica said about people not washing their hands is totally true! My college dorm must have been absolutely crawling with germs…

    Actually that’s probably a good reason to bring alcohol with you. You could accidentally spill it on other people’s hands as a public service!

    You have me all confused. I am sure some years ago the theory went (a bit like your commentator Vanessa Chapman’s reasoning) that men go to the loo TOGETHER for a spot of networking whilst double tasking peeing. Women don’t do that. Or maybe I am not a woman.

    All I can remember is that, when on our way to Corsica, Thea and I went to find our very own respective bush to hide behind whilst our boyfriends did what they needed to do at the curb (in full view) continuing the conversation. Yes. No wonder blondes are dumb.

    Pang Ho-Cheung’s 2007 film EXODUS offers what is, for me, the last word on why women hit the bathroom in groups. It’s all part of a huge, insidious conspiracy… I don’t want to spoil the film so I won’t go into more detail than that.

    The things I learn from the internet!

    Actually, women go to bathrooms together for much of the same reasons: they all have to pee. Occasionally, we go to the bathroom together because we have nothing else to do or we’re having a conversation. The reason we’re in their so long, is another matter. ;)

    • http://whatsup23.wordpress.com qs1998

      Yup! It’s the only thing that keeps us mysterious…

  • http://vanessachapman.wordpress.com Vanessa Chapman

    I’m sorry, but I don’t buy this ‘men don’t talk to each other’ in there business – I have seen men go in there at the same time having a conversation, and then emerge still having the same conversation. You wouldn’t BELIEVE what us girls get up to in there though ;)

    Now that was funny. thanks for the laugh.

    Ha! Love it! I keep telling the guys they only *wish* they knew what we did in there when we all go off in a pack. That was great! :)

    Seriously, though, the whole “talking” thing? Yeah, we gossip, but I’ll let you in on a little secret. Maybe it’s just limited to my circle of friends, but it’s kinda’ strange. We can be talking but the moment one of us starts to pee, it doesn’t matter – mid-sentence, we stop. Dead silence. No one talks. It’s like an unspoken rule. You just don’t talk while you’re doing that.

    Ok. I’ve shared one of the sacred secrets in a public forum. I just broke the “unspoken code”. I suppose I’ll have to go buy another pair of shoes so I can avoid turning in my “chick card”. ;)

    • http://menopauseexpress.wordpress.com Duch

      No, it isn’t awkward. If anything, it’s polite. If you think about it, the extra noise from the splash you’re making in the water is distracting from the conversation. As for talking and pooping? er… no. ;)

    Wonderful funny …. a bit scary – no wonder that the peanuts on the bar counter contains 124 different urine.

    • http://mygulitypleasures.wordpress.com viveka

      Not only men, women is bad too … yes, I watched … but they where French *smile ..

    • http://momentmatters.wordpress.com Moment Matters

      Is this a personal confession? HAHA :)

    • http://mygulitypleasures.wordpress.com viveka

      Not all … being a chef is not only hand soap and sensor water tabs – we need the same alcohol as surgeons use. Been watching the posh ladies at Harrods in London – while waiting for a posh friend – it was scary. 2 of 10 ladies washed their hands, but they put more make up on.

    • http://momentmatters.wordpress.com Moment Matters

      Ooooh this is new. I thought women are more icky and germ freaks than men. Guess we’re on the same not-caring restroom habits, generally speaking.

    Great post – another issue is when you are in the pub for a few pints and your bladder becomes in tune with another fellas/ Cue embarassed silence when you are standign next to eachother again and you CAN’T go!

      Times table for me.

  • http://sheedaalitalpur.wordpress.com Colors of my life

    Hehehe, so true! Dead on! Three thumbs up for this.

    • http://sheedaalitalpur.wordpress.com Colors of my life

      You crack me up with this two thumbs up, I usually say 4 thumbs up :)

    • http://momentmatters.wordpress.com Moment Matters

      Two thumbs up from hands and one thumb up from foot!

Why is it we so distrust products made in China, or Japan?
Now could be a good time to learn Chinese in preparation for the on-going shift of the world's language.
These excuses will help you get away.
A peculiar sleep cycle can let you survive with 2 hours of sleep.

Sleep is a shitty waste of time. 8 hours of sleep entraps a third of your day and all you do is nothing. That time can be used to consume miles of productivity and/or leisure, but..

In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change, breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place.”
