Bathroom Etiquette for the Men's Room - Double Whammy

Men's bathroom, (3) urinals, all open.  I take the farthest urinal to the left and start my business.  Door squeaks open and someone walks in... taking the middle stall right next to me.... ugh.  Okay, that's just weird. 

I finish up my business just as another gentleman walks in.  I turn around, looking down to buckle my belt and the new guy walks in front of me towards the fartherst right stall (the correct one he should have taken) but then turns quickly, brushing against me TO GET TO THE STALL I JUST USED.  Dude, I was buckling and you brushed me as you were unbuckling.  This isn't a relay, it's a bathroom.  Sheesh.  It's not like I left the seat warm for him, they were urinals.  My toilet wasn't even done flushing.

So, two of the Bathroom Etiquette rules for the Men's Room were broken on me in same visit.  I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

"I desire to go to hell and not to heaven. In the former place, I shall enjoy the company of popes, kings, and princes, while in the latter are only beggars, monks, and apostles." - Niccolo Machiavelli

I love this quote. I completely disagree with it on a spiritual level, but it is funny, along the lines of the rockers quote, "I'd rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven." So, everyone can rule in Hell? No one can tell you what to do? Sounds like anarchy to me and anarchy is typcially ruled by the strong. They just beat the weak into submission and there's no group to stop them.

Anyway, just liked the quote.
