  • Urinal Dividers: A Good Idea

     

    Now many of you already know, especially since this was covered in a previous article by one of my fellow interns here at mancouch.com, that there is a certain code to using the urinal in the men's bathroom. You may also know because you are a man who is not agoraphobic, or because it tends to be common knowledge.

    But for the uninitiated, when a man enters a public bathroom needing to relieve himself in a urinary fashion and happens upon the row of urinals, man code states that you must take up every other urinal and only once every other is already taken may you take a urinal directly next to another man.

    This is a  good and fair system to which there is one exception: urinal dividers. When there are urinal dividers, all bets are off. Even if there are 15+ urinals and only one man peeing, you can take the one right next to him (although, I wouldn't suggest it as that would be quite awkward).

    My question is, why aren't there urinal dividers in every public bathroom? We've progressed beyond a non urinal divider world! We have the technology to make everyone's lives just a bit more comfy and we completely ignore it.

    Men, level with me. Don't you get a little tingly in your peen when you see a bathroom has urinal dividers? C'mon be honest. Nothing to be ashamed of. It's exciting.

    Why wouldn't every business put them up?

     It's not like they can be that expensive. Look at them, they're just one thick piece of plastic. And they wouldn't be hard to put up. Hell, I'd go to every single business in the tri-state area and put them up myself if they wanted me to. So why aren't they up everywhere?

    It's like we've invented something that clearly makes something else better and we've collectively gone, "eh, I'm not too sure." Once someone starts making real robots, like the type that can gain sentience, start a revolution and overthrow the bonds of their human oppressors, there's no going back to a non-robot world.



    So why are we denying the natural progress of things?

    Men, don't you love the urinal divider? Wouldn't you like to see them everywhere?
