not flushing urinal when someone is behind you-rude or green?

I don't know about anyone else, but I hate getting post sex pee stream. Shoot when I was in my early teens I would hate using the bathroom after waking up in the morning.
 
If I successfully peed with someone standing behind me, as unlikely as I find it, would I think about his comfort and flush? Hell no. I'd take great pleasure in delivering some discomfort to him as well.


what discomfort? From my description, you can tell it was a small bathroom. Should I be expected to walk out of the bathroom until the guy was done?:rolleyes:

I would. Better that than to invade someone's personal space.


a public restroom is not your personal space.
 
a public restroom is not your personal space.
"Personal space" is the physical space immediately surrounding a person, into which any unsolicited encroachment feels threatening or uncomfortable. We all have it, regardless of our surroundings. The actual distance varies among different cultures.

um yeah, thanks I knew that. I was making the point that ceding AN ENTIRE PUBLIC RESTROOM to someone as their personal space was excessive.

I'm all for respecting personal space, especially in a situation where someone deserves privacy, but I'm not going to walk out of a public bathroom just because someone is using it.
 
If it's a restroom with only one stall and one urinal, I leave the room. Some people are just going to be a little uncomfortable with a stranger standing there two feet away watching you take a piss. "Personal space" is certainly an issue here.

It's not like I was right behind him and peering over his shoulder. I was standing by the door with my back turned or facing off to the side.
