The most well thought out piece of urinal grafetti I saw recently was quite simply the text 'your life is in your hands'

Re: Annoying things in life
1) The 2 outer ones may be in use. Forcing your way into one of these is asking for a bunch of fives.
Thats fine. Take the middle. The rules state it should be the outer one first, then the other outer one, then the middle (or toilet if you're shy).
2) I don't know about Canadian ones, but British toilets often have a low-placed urinal at one end for the use of children, so the prospective urinator has only a practical choice of 2 urinals.
Not here.
3) Again, possibly a British habit, but some people seem to regard urinals as alternative ash trays. I prefer not to be staring at a mess of disintegrating dog ends.
Never seen that here either.
4) The quality of the graffiti. Those above the middle urinal could well be of a superior quality.
I thought I was the only one that walked around reading the graffiti...

I suggest you get in touch, i know how you feel about having your personal life out in the open.

Not necessarily shy - I avoid urinals because of the cottagers. I.e. men who stand there for purposes other than urination World is full of weirdos and I seem to attract them - it's the caring, open face I think
The Council (i.e. the Local Authority) annoys me no end - dire customer service that, dare I say it, rivals NTL; jaw dropping incompetency; and wide spread corruption.

Get one of those wine chilling 'sleeves'. I find that putting a beer into one of those and then into the freezer for about 10 mins does the job

For me it is someone not following the urinal code of conduct. Ie: Three urinals. It really annoys me if someone decides to take the middle one.
:p

You could of course go into the No2 cubicle for a pee but the downside of that is that the person(s) at the urinals might think you are doing that because you have a small willy.

Re: Annoying things in life
Your girlfriend invites a few of her friends from work and their boyfriends out for a drink with you. All the girls go to the toilet together and the guys (who have never met before) are left sat there for ages trying to make conversation like, "did ya see the match last night?".
