Come again.

No!  That's what the gay men watching you in the bathroom WANT you to do!

Come again.

Well, at least buy them dinner first!

Warb, does it bother you sharing a bathroom with a gay guy?

I guess I just pretend all the guys in there are straight.

Double standards!

Aw, come on, Warbler. I come back after all this time and already there's a *sigh*.  I really do want to know... when you're using the bathroom, a state most people regardless of orientation would consider less than attractive, what does someone's sexuality matter?  Why does it make you feel more comfortable to pretend all men are straight when you're in there?  If you happen to catch an accidental wandering eye when you're peeing, does it ultimately make any practical difference what that person is attracted to, even if you somehow managed to find out with no uncertainty?  Is there going to be any other outcome besides you finishing your business, washing your hands (hopefully), and going about your life?

Somehow, I missed that catchphrase. I welcome it back!

Me too! It's been a while. :D

call me a prude, but I don't want anyone looking my stuff when I am doing my business.  Straight men would have no desire to look at my stuff where as a gay man might, so I guess it just makes me more comfortable to assume all the men in the restroom are straight.  Again call me a prude and call me old fashioned, but I think men's and women's bathrooms should be kept separate.  It has worked fine for years and I just don't want to my business at a urinal when ladies are present.  

but why would anyone want to look at other people's junk while they're doing their business? unless you're that small percent of the population that's into that sorta thing, you're not gonna do that.

 Straight men would have no desire to look at my stuff where as a gay man might...

Assuming and self-absorbed much?

Well, I'm certainly only two Fs, not three. =P

As for Mr. Warbler, I direct you to Leonardo's comment, but now I have one more question I feel compelled to ask since you didn't address it when I indirectly addressed it.

"Oh good God"?  Would you please care to elaborate?

I'm with Warbler on urinals + women. It's weird.

Same question as for Warb then.

It's weird enough peeing by any man. I sense a song in there..."Pee by your man..." I'm not even going to try composing the rest of that verse. But it's a convention. One that grew around a presumption that all the world is straight. At least Warbler treasures those simpler times. Same for locker rooms. Otherwise why not open up locker rooms to both sexes...because gay people. Point is there are different levels of comfort and even if the 'rules' don't work perfectly, they do serve to protect comfort - like the walls between urinals*

 I thought it was quite self explanatory. 

Yet again call me a prude and old fashion, but I just don't get the idea of a man dressing like a woman.  Sorry.

Fair enough.  I also don't get the idea of why people ever wore spats, but if you were to post a picture of yourself showing off your new footwear, I'd like to think I wouldn't feel compelled to so strongly invoke the name of a deity over it...
