The rule I've read and lived by is one of equality - No talking to anyone not at the same point in the process as you". If you're both at the stall, jimmy in hand, you are both in an equally vulnerable place...it's common ground, and therefore ok to conversate. But once you leave that stall and the other person is still there, you shut your mouth while washing your hands, until your Camode Comrade joins you at the sink. A hearty and vulgar conversation between two fellow dumpers is always welcome in my book. It encourages not only comraderie (sp?) but sometimes even friendly competition.

If you've just dropped a particularly foul smelling deuce do NOT feel ashamed or embarrassed in any way. Other men can smell the fear (as well as the turd) and will give you a hard time about it. Rather you should open up the stall, raise your hands triumphantly and say something like "I AM THE GOD OF HELL-FIRE", "do NOT go in there!!" or "You'd better have a military grade gasmask" to the next poor schmoe standing in line. You will be recieved as a conquering hero by the other guys.

It seems that I encounter an increasing number of urinals that are supersmall or built so deeply in the wall that Mr. Happy is granted no protection from prying eyes. I recall one incident at the Brooklyn Beer Brewery where one guy took like a five minute stare, which is an eternity when your manmeat is exposed. Granted, he looked wasted, but still.

I always hesitate for a moment before flushing when someone is on their cellphone in the bathroom, a slight pang of guilt over what the guy on the other end is gonna think when he hears that unmistakable sound. The guilt passes rather quickly - correct usage of a commode supersedes whatever the other guy is doing. I agree with Chris.

While peeing - keep one hand on your blackberry, the other on your dong. When I'm pooping in the office and hear someone next to me, I almost always hear the sounds of clicking blackberry keys.

I just came back from the office bathroom (it is massive since it is also used by the on site call center) and there was a guy yapping away on his phone with a symphony of flushes, faucets and hot air hand dryers going off.

It's almost unspoken, I've been with friends and we head to the bathroom at the same time, chatting along the way, but when we step up to the urinals, conversation is paused until we meet back up at the sinks. Don't talk to me when my dong is in my hand, dudes. As far as the funny/gross shit noises that are not disturbingly like masturbation, I'm ok with it as long as it isn't at work. I don't need to think about the sales guy in the office down the hall nearly herniating himself while agonizing over a particularly brutal turd the next time I see him in the break room. Hold it until you get home, or go somewhere on your lunch break. I’m 100% on board with the no-talking rule.

I've been at it since I was a kid and no one has corrected me.. P.S. Button Fly jeans are the suck cuz you gotta take your whole junk out or waste time doing 5 buttons.

'Ahhhh! Ohhhhh!' he cried." Hmm, yeah, I'm willing to make an exception for extremely entertaining noise. My main problem is with the creepy / disturbing noises of pleasure that some men tend to make, when it sounds like they're spanking off rather than dropping the kids off. I don't necessarily have a problem with public masturbation, but it's the last thing I want to visualize while I'm trying to make a poop so keep it quiet.
