Extra points if you manage to do it when there are lots of other people around.

That's a tough one. He may legitimately need "peer feedback" but providing it to the wrong kind of person could provoke an H.R. intervention.

Tap him on the shoulder, look at his crotch, and say "mine's bigger".




Notably prostate enlargement can develop as early as 30. Might wanna subtly suggest that he lay off alcohol and caffeine, cause dosing on those diuretics doesn't help much

No option for a Christopher Walken-esque "Wow!" each and every time the pee hits the porcelain?

You could always find a pamphlet and leave it at his desk over lunch hour. That's what someone suggested I do with a lady at work who may have had PCOS, but I never did, because the lady was mean and PCOS isn't fatal. (Or treatable, really.)

It could be that he's showing off his prowess doing male kegels (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070501220015AAeUeSj).

Say nothing. You don't want to become known as 'the guy who listens to other guys peeing'.

At least, I assume that you don't.

"My dad was killed by indoor plumbing" - toilet exploded? Prostate cancer?

Anway, is this Dan Savage-worthy? It has that Ann Landers social awkwardness nature, and he is the biggest Ann Landers-phile in the world.

He did, after all, buy her desk at the estate auction.

also, I'd say there are too many unknowns and unknowables. maybe it's an undiagnosed prostate problem or a kidney stone or a hernia, but it's just as likely (probably more so) that it's a known disorder, or that he likes doing meth or acid or ecstasy before work, or that he's using some kinda weird arab strap device that constricts his ureter, or that he's doing kegels, or that he has three penises and a wasp crop and a tail.

also, even if it's a legitimate medical condition, the guy might be a mass murderer and you'd end up saving his life and he'd go on to murder thousands if not millions.

better keep it under your hat.

but if you were to hang up a few fliers about "how to tell if you have prostate problems", you'd be providing a community service to not only that mass murdering weird pissing fucker but also the hundreds if not thousands of guys who also use that rest room. so you should probably do that.

Damn dude... You have me really thinking about it.

Frankly, the consequences of saying something are pretty small... So I'd say ask him if he's aware he may have a prostate problem. At worst, he'll be insulted and tell you to fuck off.

Problem is, he could just have really bad "shy bladder syndrome". It's hard to overcome for some guys and they literally have to force it out...

I think the suggestion of putting up some prostate awareness posters in the bathroom is probably the best idea.

I wouldn't tap him on the shoulder, but I would ask if he had that looked at. I might then go on to explain the problem in great detail if he ignores me, or says no.

You know me, I like to help.
