My man!

[@weirdproq]

Thanks! I just thought of this video today after having not thought about it for over a decade!

[@themissingsock2437]

I was explaining this to my bf the other day. I was like, "have you seen that one? "Jesus himself"?" And the fact that it's been 17 years... Damn.

[@TheJanitorIsIn]

Hell yeah brothür! Mr. Overman, did you make this?

[@zsOverman]

@TheJanitorIsIn Yes I did. The original back in 2006, and the upscaled version was released this year (2023). Thank you! 😀

The closing of public toilets during Lockdown has been a massive tragedy. It's time that we fought for free public toilets across the UK. Join the cause to Free-Da-Loo facebook.com/groups/2635052263479493

[@w0cpm]

There is an amendment to the rules... 1. If one of the urinals is fitted in a lower position and intended for short statured persons; the only people to use them should be short statured persons. 2. While still maintaining the space cushion rule, if the urinals have partitions one can still use an adjacent urinal if no other is available.

[@RaspbrylZ]

+w0cpm the 'waste no time' rule supersedes the adjacency rule under times of high traffic - if there is a line forming take whatever you can get stare straight ahead and get out quickly and quietly. there is a point where you cant look a gift urinal in the pipes.

[@Jundas]

Well not "Whatever" you don't want to slow down those needing to wash their hands and exit.

[@RaspbrylZ]

I stand by my statement.

[@d4n4nable]

Once you start using adjacent urinals to save time, you completely mess up the order for the rest of the day. It's like one guy parking over the line leading to everyone else having to do so.

[@mentelgenvideos4624]

This film is unnecessary, all men are born with an inherent knowledge of mens restroom etiquette. It's like how Monarch Butterflies always find Mexico.

[@kittyboygamer6912]

False, there’s some kids in high school who will use the urinal next to you.

[@k1llsh0t_87]

@@kittyboygamer6912 I have been to one of those restrooms where there were at least 20 urinals yet for some reason 2 dudes walked in and went right next to me and I was just thinking wtf is wrong with you do you not see all those other open ones and I was at the opposite side from the door specifically to avoid other people yet they still went right next to me

One of the greatest lines of all time: "Ralph and Chuck begin to ralph and chuck."

[@donaldperez7981]

One of the rarest times that it's accepted to be in the next urinal next to someone,is, whenever you are at a major event such as a stadium, in an arena where you have tons of people entering the restrooms all at once such as halftime etc. One cannot wait for the in-between urinals to be empty or else it'll take forever. Therefore, it's accepted.

[@ryanthelionish]

I was just thinking this

[@kingofthings7929]

The focus on efficiency is paramount. All rules can be ignored in times of crisis to facilitate efficiency. Of course, should one use a urinal next to another person, new rules apply. One is to make eye contact with the wall and look no where else under any circumstances.

[@emanuelmota7217]

Excellent point.

[@austinsinger7565]

I was thinking this too. Concerts too

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Only locker room bathrooms though. Locker rooms are private forums.
