You're In, I'm in, Ur-inal!

Now, I thought about writing a normal post regarding the general things that are happening here with the wedding planning, the start of the heat, the constant ambient noise the is India and stuff like that... but after receiving a text from a buddy... DON'T worry Snoopy, I won't tell anyone it was you... I thought I'd write something about the urinals here...
Now, we have the most common type of urinal here... a wall, bush, car, cycle tire, tree etc (basically anyplace that doesn't directly face oncoming traffic... although even this rule is sometimes broken). So, we have the "THE WORLD IS MY URINAL" school of thought that is quite pervasive here.
Secondly, in order to reduce this above-mentioned mentality in many street markets, they've build public urinals... which generally are a raised shoulder on the side walk with white(I assume they were that way at some point!) tiled half-walls... so really, you're neither in a stall nor out in the street. Now the comment that sparked this post is the insistance of the average Indian male (as observed in these stalls) to stand RIGHT NEXT to you... i.e. if there are three urinal spots, the North American mentality is to take one of the extremes, then the next person takes the farthest one and only in dire need will a third approach the middle urinal. NOW, in India, they'll come and stand RIGHT NEXT to you. Why this happens... is at the heart of this discussion.
Is it that North American males are trained to be more aloof in their peeing habits or are Indian guys more curious about your size vs theirs? I'm not sure. Mind you, its quite common here to see perfectly straight men holding hands and walking down the street. This is generally because amongst most classes of Indians, holding hands with anyone else than your wife or daughter ain't cool. SO, if anyone knows why the street Urinal here has become a stranger-bonding thang... lemme kno! :)
Well, I gotta go 'cuz I gotta go pee! :)
