At the Urinal

It's a shame we didn't have this discussion when the red diamond classification was in place. Perhaps a mod will take notice and apply it retroactively. So, in all seriousness, I feel that taking the child's urinal is optimal, provided it isn't at such an absurdly low height that I can't reasonably aim. I feel that certain bodily functions, particularly those involving the genitals, ought to be engaged as far away from others as can be done. That being said, my sense of privacy isn't so extreme that I wouldn't stand next to a man or between two men if it was the only option. I would question the intentions of someone who would stand directly next to me or someone else when other options are available, but I'd probably just shrug it off.

I needed a piss today, so I went in a public toilet next to the bus and train stations at Vauxhall, South London. There were two urinals, one occupied when I entered, and one that the guy in front of me went for. I needed a piss pretty badly but not bad enough to use a stall in a public toilet, so I waited for them to finish. I figured the guy who was already at the urinal was probably nearly done by now (how long does it take to pee? like 30 seconds?) so I wouldn't have to wait long.
So anyway I was waiting there, and to my surprise, the guy who walked in in front of me finished before the guy who was already there. I thought, "hmm, maybe he guy who was already there had only just started. He'll probably finish up soon." I started to pee, and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that he had started shaking it off. "Oh, okay, he's done now. He'll be gone in a sec."
But no, he was not gone. In fact, by the time I finished and started shaking it off, he was still there. Shaking it off. "Hah, maybe he's wanking!" I thought. "lol, yeah right, like anyone would jack it in a disgusting public toilet in a south London bus station. Strange that he's still shaking it though..." I slipped it back into my boxers, zipped up, and went to wash my hands.
Now, the mirrors above the sink were facing out into the urinal area. And it was a small public toilet - only 2 urinals and a stall, remember. I could see both urinals, from the side profile. I washed my hands, trying not to look. "Just keep looking straight ahead, son." But I couldn't help it -- he was there, pumping away, not a care in the world. He was wanking in a south London public toilet. In a urinal, at that - not even in a stall!
I carried on washing my hands, keeping my head down. But now I needed soap. I looked up, for the soap dispenser, but found another dispenser of thick, creamy ooze entirely. Still beating it, the guy was starting right at me!!! He was *looking at me*. WHILST WANKING. WTH MAN!!! WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?!?!?!
I got out of there pretty fast.
tl;dr - I went to a public toilet for a piss and the guy in the urinal next to me was wanking and using me for porn when my back was turned.

See, that's what you get for putting to much thought into this. If you just went in, did your business without any consideration for the guy next to you and then went out, you wouldn't have noticed anything.
Personally, I go for the first one that has no obvious faults (like being to small, or being flooded). If that's the middle one, so what? If the next guy is too squeamish to piss next to me, that's not my problem.

I pay no attention to anything in a public bathroom other than where is most convenient to do my business. Once that's done, I wash my hands and leave.

At first glace I thought this thread was entitled "Ask a Urinal" (perhaps because it was right under thew "Ask an Evangelical" thread), and was very confused as to how the moderators would ok such a thread.

I take the small urinal except when I see some really tall guy come in because I like to make tall guys use the small urinal.

In the OP scenario, I'd go for the far one. I don't really make judgments based on the second person's choice because both are about as bad for me personally. Honestly, unless there's a trough or a half-wall involved, I don't care much. That said, if lots were open and a dude picked the one next to me I would probably seethe a little inside.

Call me a Larry David, because I go for the handicap stall.
Mostly because my restroom visits are at school, where I sit at a computer all day and after I do my business, I do a few quick stretches.

If there are partition dividers, it does not matter. If there are none, don't chose the middle one and do my business. If it's a crowded restroom and no privacy partitions at the urinals, I make a quick dash to the stalls even if I have to wait.
Have no opinion and don't care.
I would feel very uncomfortable and would question thas the person's sexuality as well as thinking "DUDE! Do you not understand the unwritten rule of maintaining space of one urinal space on the side of the person using it!!"

I think that the small urinal is understood to be acceptable if someone is occupying the far urinal. There could be an exception for walking in and seeing someone at the small urinal, with no one at the far one, but an assumption that there was someone there when he came in is perfectly acceptable and a benefit of the doubt that I extend to all men.

I think my rule of "I need to pee" trumps your rule of "if you pee here you're gay"

My first thought is that if a person is urinating into a urinal then, regardless of the distance between us, I generally give credit for being a man. Either that or a woman with a disturbing party trick.
Thankfully those horrid troughs are becoming more and more rare around these parts in favour of personal urinals. I used to dread being in a pub in the toilet and some yobbo sidles up beside you and says, while unzipping, 'So how's ya night goin' ?. I don't like that. That's not cricket.

My favorite was when I went to this random Mexican bar in San Francisco. I had to pee really bad, and had just gotten off the Mission and 24th BART (subway) stop. My friends hadn't shown up, so I go to the bar nearby. When I say Mexican, I mean we're one stop away from a Mariachi band and Sombreros, and not the Chevy's variety.
Bypassing the crowded dance floor I make my way to the bathroom. It seems like a one man operation: there's a toilet, a sink, a trash can, a urinal, and no dividers. There's also no lock on the door.
So I start going in the urinal when in busts this dude. So I'm like... okay, cool, finishing up when another guy busts in. He's clearly hammered so I'm trying to get off the urinal ASAP. Too late, he starts peeing in the trashcan. One hand planted on the wall, standing on his tip toes since he was a short guy, straight up peeing in the garbage. Then a fourth guy bursts through the door but I'm off the urinal before he takes the sink...
