I just stood right next to a guy I know in the urinals. We ignored each other completely, which is convention πŸ˜‚

my rule of thumb is, if its a close friend and you are already mid conversation on the way in, you can keep talking as long as you keep looking "straight" (pun intended). If one of you arrives while the other is mid-stream, i generally avoid the greeting and minimize responses, and grunt during the silence to deter the other from the urge to start. Now that im old, it takes me a few minutes to start, so that can be awkward too..if there is no pee sound coming out, why the hell are you here? πŸ˜†
Yesterday, after dropping off by the bus stage where I stay, I stopped by the public urinals before heading home. This douche came right next to me, talking on his phone and staring right down at me, without ever opening his zipper or anything. Just stood there casually. Very weird guy. I just did what I was there to do and hurried out, I couldn't tell whether he was trying to pick a fight or something.
