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.

Also...

[devonapple.livejournal.com]

He may be well aware that his stream sounds different than those of his neighboring urinal-defilers...

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Certainly, but he may not consider it an actionable difference.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I should clarify that he works on my floor, but not in the same company.

[devonapple.livejournal.com]

Then fuck it: tell him he may have some plumbing issues, but be cool about it.

[devonapple.livejournal.com]

But no tapping -- you know the no-touching rule in the men's room!

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Dude, women are reading this! Do not reveal men's room rules!

You didn't put this on a "dudes only" filter? Doesn't everyone have one?

[gothgeekgirl.livejournal.com]

Heh. I have a "girlz only" filter, primarily to spare my male readers. Guys squick so easily!

I'm also laughing because this is in the same class of problems as "how does a woman tell a male coworker that his fly is open?" (yes guys, WE NOTICE ;)

More seriously, there are medications that will cause that sort of urination problem, notably Strattera, an ADD medication that both I and my S.O. take. So this guy may be fixing a problem rather than ignoring one.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

So Strattera transfers the attention deficit problem from your brain to your bladder... clever.

Why are you looking there?


Actually, I have a pair of jeans that posed no problems for their first few months of life, but which now unzip automatically every hour or so.

[devonapple.livejournal.com]

Ah: "Action" jeans!

[gothgeekgirl.livejournal.com]

Why are you looking there?

Pick one or more:

• Why not?


• *shrug* I have ADD; my eyes bounce around.


• I'm a geek- I look at EVERYTHING. (which is not to say I retain it all- see above)


• It's a girl thing- I tuck labels back inside people's shirt collars, too.


• I spend much of my time spotting and fixing broken patterns. That part of my brain doesn't turn off just because I'm not getting paid for it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! The secret is mine! Wait'll I tell the girls!

On second thought, eww.

[rimrunner.livejournal.com]

But what if we need to use the men's bathroom at a busy concert or sporting event?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Just make sure you don't use a urinal next to anyone else. Maintain that empty space-- you wouldn't want dudes to think you WANTED to see their willies! Especially not when they're peein', 'cause that's just weird.

"peer feedback?" He hardly qualifies as a peer, much less a peer of the realm.
