hey there, neighbor
so. I've got myself an etiquette question.
You're at one urinal, and your MD plops down and unzips next to you.
...do you start the conversation? and if you don't, what do you talk about if he says hello?
Just had the nervous head nod/ eye contact action.
I thought this was common sense.
Say hello back, but leave it at that and don't look over. Definitely don't try to start a conversation (that will be uncomfortable for the both of you). I'm sure the MD said hi just to acknowledge you. He didn't want a conversation. No normal person wants to carry on a conversation while using the urnal.
Look at his junk, and compliment him on it.
Or go watch this vid, if you haven't already:
Totally. I love compliments, don't you? My favorite is, "Wow that's a real BSD you got there." That makes me feel just great.
I actually did LOL at that one.
If he says "Hello", greet him back.
Make some small talk - stare at the wall and do your business like a man. Really not that big of a deal.
Wash your hands, continue shmoozing...walk out...whatever.
It won't be uncomfortable unless you make it uncomfortable.
wow, that youtube link was real. I thought it was gonna be this:
I'd say look at his piece and judging by his size, either compliment him (of course if it's big), or if it's small, ask if he was ever able to leverage his cuddling abilities into one night stand
lol, what a classic
where do you get this stuff?
dude , you're in finance
you're not supposed to be anywhere remotely as funny
"Nice Watch you go there" or the "Did you get a manicure?"
You can say that again!
I'd go for a handshake while you say hello
you're obviously not looking for an answer. you're trying to make a funny thread, and failing.
nah, it was half legit. It actually happened and turned out to be pretty damn awkward. Was just wondering on how other people handle themselves.
in actuality, that first youtube vid post was pretty informative, i didn't know that these urinal ettiquete rules even existed.
Say hello - and if he doesn't respond, pull your balls out and move your arm so that he can catch a glimpse of what you'll drop on his chin if doesn't acknowledge you next time. Either that or inspect the grout and comment on it's cleanliness.
HAHA GROUT
One word:
GRunt ... your MD will understand your mating ritual and run!
Why would you want to work at a place where you dont even feel comfortable talking to MDs? Do you think they are some sort of Deity?
I think you have bigger issues than knowing what to say...maybe finding a place where you are comfortable.
Uh, right, he should totally get a new job.
Don't know how I could have missed that one - so obvious. What were we all thinking?
After all, I'm always walking up to MDs, chatting it up, and having a grand old time - especially when we're standing side by side with penises exposed.
It is more a matter of being in a place where you don't clam up when you are in the presence of a senior colleague. Obviously your not going to act like you would with your "buddies" but there shouldn't be any reason why you can't have a normal conversation.
Either "nice dick" or "keep your eyes on the road"
