McCormick Place men's room etiquette


Just before lunch I stepped into one of the many McCormick Place bathrooms immediately behind an older gentleman heading in the same direction. There were six urinals in the men's room, three on one wall and three on another.

The three urinals on the left were "unoccupied," and yet the older gentleman proceeded directly to the center one, leaving me to make a choice: pee to his left, pee to his right or wait it out. I decided on a fourth option, which was use a facility on the opposite wall, where another older gentleman was kind enough to choose the urinal on the far right.

This is a small thing in the scope of the greater problems plaguing this world, I know, but older gentlemen of McCormick Place take note: people don't want to pee next to you if they can avoid it. Please adjust your behavior accordingly.

Thanks.
