Default Urinal Usage: "Leaners"

Alright, so, working in a 3-story office building with a bunch of engineers on my floor (shocking), there's a lot of guys using the head.

Like most large-ish office buildings, this one has 3 urinals with privacy shields (and 3 stalls). So, after working for a couple of years, you start noticing some behaviors. . . . for the sake of this topic, I need to ask one thing:

What's with the "leaners?" You know, the guys that put one hand up on the wall? Moreover (the big reason I bring this up), there's one guy who places his hand "over the property line." Kinda creepy, but I can get by. What I cannot stand though, is there's one guy who needs to "lean" on the privacy shield itself. . . his fingers distinctly over in "my neck of the woods."

Are YOU a leaner? Anyone care to shed some light on this?

I touch as few objects in a public bathroom as I can. I have no idea why people do that.

Use a stall, 8D. That way you can avoid confronting your fear of someone grabbing your unit.

i'm guilty of 'the lean.' however, this is at home or someone else's home, and usually involves a shoulder on the wall, not an outstreched hand. it is prompted usually by extremely volumous amounts of pee, and usually fatigue and/or drunkeness.

i would never do 'the lean' in a public bathroom, no less a urinal

Its a combination of Micropenis, big beer belly and enlarging prostrate. This leads to poor flow and they don't want to pee all over their clothes or shoes so they lean forward, and pelvic tilt to an extreme.

Or it could be middle ear infection-induced dizziness and loss of balance.

I'm eternally confused by "the spit." Seems like every time I'm taking a leak in a public restroom, the guy who comes up to the empty spot next to me pauses to spit into the urinal. What's up with that?

It gets worse when they just zip up and walk out of the bathroom without washing their hands - not even spraying water on them, that's just nasty.

And while we're on the subject, whats up with guys who go into a stall, lock it, and then piss? Do they have some massive deformity or what?
