Bathroom Warden #721, Reporting For Duty

[Yes, since I'm # 721, there's at minimum 720 other Bathroom Wardens in service right now. Or I just made that up.]

It’s been a long time since we’ve shared some time discussing urinals. I consider this fact a character flaw of mine, and I apologize for it.

Today’s violation, erm, I mean post, deals with the men’s restroom of the Applebee’s Restuarant in Lawrenceville, the one at 120 and Hurricane Shoals. Ladies, consider this yet *another* rare opportunity into the world of men’s restrooms.

Let’s begin with the basic layout. Using my ninja photographic bathroom memory, I memorized the floor plan of the bathroom in question, to the inch:

You men that are attuned to the art of urinal design can obviously see the error in design here. It has to do with where men look (AND DON’T LOOK) when they’re in the bathroom. You see, if we look back at the previous post, you’ll notice that all mens bathrooms, designed good or bad, rely on the principle that as long as the man looks only in the direction in front of him, no awkward lines of sight will occur. Even in the trough style bathrooms, the man looks either at the backside of other men, or at the wall, and never sees the frontside or left/right side of a mana. This is a good thing ™.

For those of you not so attuned, let me give you a visual aid:

Ok. Pretend Person A is currently doing their business at the urinal. Person B finishes in Stall 2, and opens the door. Their cone of sight, if they just look straight ahead, is presented by the blue lines going out in front of them. AT THIS MOMENT, one of the rules of bathroom design has been broken. We have the possibility of an extremely ackward silouette of Person A. sux2bu, Person B, stop looking at that dood’s junk.

I feel that my work here is done. Consider yourself edjumacated.

Funny Link: These guys are as hardcore about the Rules of Calling Shotgun as I am about Men’s Restroom Design.
