Hey, it may seem stupid to you, but I went on a long rant about this (and plan on adding it to my standup routine). I don't understand the logic of public bathrooms that do not have partitions between the urinals. Some have the shape of urinals that you can sorta hump the wall and you're hidden behind the porcelain (like at my high school) but you gotta becareful of splashage. Those I can perhaps understand. Then there are the kind that are nice and low because I guess midgets and children get urinal priority, and you sorta gotta aim downwards... but you are hanging out for everyone to see. What ends up happening is you go at an angle to point away from the person next to you, then someone comes on your other side and now you're pointed right at him. At that point I say screw it and go to the toilet. Not that I don't mind sharing little g with others, it's just that I'd prefer the others to be female and another fluid other than urine be coming out.
Now, here's my thing. I understand maybe you have to pay extra to get a piece of wood that matches the tiles and attach it to the wall, but how much can it be? Most movie theaters (the most often public bathroom for me) have the automatic flush thing... little infrared sensor notices when you move away and flushes as you walk away. They put the same shit on the faucets. How about we get rid of those and just use the extra money for partitions? How essential is it to have hands free flushing? Do we not do it at home al the time? Oh, and I know most here have probably not been to Dodger Stadium (except some socal bruthas), but it's the worst there... it's just a long trough that you pee into. At least Staples Center is relatively normal.
