Men, if you fart while you are using a urinal, please do not turn to the person at the next stall and mutter "excuse me". It just makes the whole thing that much more uncomfortable.

And then there are the aggressive sneezers who demand that YOU bless THEM. My sister is one of those. She sneezes, waits a second, then says "Bless me, I guess, because you won't", and I'll say "but we weren't raised like that", and she'll say "like what?" and I'll say "like we have to follow some fucked up superstition about our souls, or that we have to be blessed with ANYTHING, as our parents are atheists", and she says "but we're JEWISH", and I don't know what to do with that. So SHE says, "At least say gezundheight, if you're so touchy about saying GOD", and I say "Oh! Great! Not just saying 'God Bless You', but saying it in GERMAN! That's the Jewish way, is it?", and she says "It's just good manners [Totalvirility]", and then I talk about how much I loathe letting women off the elevator first, which I didn't even realize was a point of etiquette until a friend told me how much he resented it a few years ago. Ever since, I can't help but actually let the ladies out first, even when I hate the entire concept behind it.

i think we are getting a bit off track here. i don't believe this post/situation was about a question of etiquette, ie, that he is excusing himself: it's that he drew attention to his farting while his pee pee was hanging out. how awkward. it also reniforces the tacit understanding that you should never speak to the guy next to you whilst at a stall. it's offensive in guy circles and yet encouraged in dank gay bar bathrooms
