Hmmm, Depends on which hand I happen to be holding with (Gattica was wrong, lol). Sometimes I hold with the right and brace myself on the wall with my left (generally only at home and when I am undressed ). Or I hold with my left and use the right to hold clothing out of the way (this is my preferred method, though I am right handed). Sometimes I hold with the right and use the left to hold the clothing out of the way. I am also very anal about lifting the toilett seat and putting it down again (down again at home, but tend to leave work’s seat up, men only restroom and as far as I know Im the only guy I know who doesnt pee on everything(though if its a unisex restroom I put the seat back down)).

I was raised to show good manners. Therefore, I’m usually helping out the guy at the urinal to the left of me. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=gotpasswords] Holding my nuts up so they don’t dangle in the toilet/urinal. [/QUOTE] Brief hijack: Two fellows standing on a bridge draining into the river. First one says, “Water’s cold today.” Second one, not to be out done, says, “Yeah, and deep.” When I worked at a call center I had a good friend who told me that joke. Every time we’d find ourselves at the urinal at the same time, he’d say. “Water’s cold today.” It cracked me up too much to make the correct reply.
