So, for half of you, this will make perfect sense. For the other half, this will seem quite absurd.
In mens bathrooms, there is an unspoken code. It doesn't really apply to stalls with toilets, as you're assured of your privacy and the hardest part is to find a clean one. Urinals however, are a drastically different situation. Say there's 6 of them, right next to each other with no barriers between. If they're numbered left to right (1-6), #'s 1 and 6 will always be the first to be occupied. At this point the problem becomes clear for the next 2 patrons. The third person will automatically go to #3 (or 4, but for the sake of argument we'll use 3), but that fourth guy is in a real bind. Only urinals # 2, 4 and 5 are open, so if he doesn't want to wait, he has to stand next to someone. At that point, the stalls come into play. If all are occupied, the guy has to ask himself how bad he really has to go. While he's thinking about it, (to make the situation more cruel) another dude will undoubtedly show up. This is when lines form; even though enough urinals exist for everyone, only some will be in use. And not that there's anything wrong with that. Some guys get stage fright and like to have their privacy, and don't want some dude snuggling up to them while they take a leak.
The moral of the story: Get to the bathroom first, or go at home.

You know what's so weird? Let's say women had the equipment to allow urinal use -- but they were still women -- a lot of us would have no problem sashaying right up next to each other, doing our business, AND having a pleasant chat at the same time. "Oooh, I love your haircut. Did you get it done around here? Don't you hate how this place smells? Well, nice talking to you, bye!" Somehow the boundaries are different.....
