Mens room urinal etiquette clarification

[The Poojer]

For the record, i walked up, took it out, looked forward, said "Hey George, how's it going" he responded in kind, and we proceeded to finish our business, keep in mind he was already there so meeting at the sink for an acknowledgement would have taken some tricky timing.

Used to have a friend in the vice squad, he’d share stories

I think the looking forward piece is what's most important.  Don't want to make eye contact whilst pissing.

if you are in the mens room and approach the only remaining urinal and your boss is already at the other urinal, is it acceptable to acknowledge him?  Keep in mind, i am not going to go pee in a crapper so that option was off the table

 

Just don't wear flip flops to the men's room!!!!

Off-topic but this just happened 2 weeks ago. We have 2 urinals at work, I'm at one and this guy at another. He finishes up before me and goes straight from urinal to hand dryer!!!!!!!??????? Like what are you drying? Pee? Sweat?? Both??? and does it really take that long to wash your hands?? like come one man!'

 

But yea, cool to say hi, but don't start full conversations until both are done.

Maybe rub his shoulders a bit, loosen the tension

Probably not for him....

Do we need to confirm the sex of the boss at some stage... just saying, my work now has signs saying the bathroom are gender neutral...

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

 

Any type of etiquette goes out the window.

Well the OP did say that he was standing next to his boss at the urinal.  If his boss happens to be female this scenario would be especially odd.  Although, there are supposedly devices out there that will allow women to pee standing up.

Critical information missing. Are there dividers?  If no dividers, you say nothing and make no furtive movements.

Is he one of those guys that turns to the side so nobody can even get a glance?  Always found those guys strange. Like, we're not trying to look at your junk man just square up to the urinal and take a leak.
