You guys who worry about whether you can or should talk while peeing are weird. It's just a piss, who cares. It's absolutely weird to ignore someone who talks to you, but even weirder to go and try to explain it's because you have some phobia about talking at a urinal. Use it as a learning exercise that stuff off the Internet like "urinal rules" doesn't translate well to real world human interactions.
This is the worst, I nearly started this thread a week ago. Fine enough if someone you know says hi, but in my office washroom I keep running into people I otherwise would have ( and don't want to have) anything to do with and they strike up long conversations about plans for vacation etc... shut up! I don't talk to you normally why would I want to while our d**ks are hanging out taking a piss
Not responding to someone who talks to you is significantly weirder than someone who talks in the urinals.
Even if it makes you a bit uncomfortable, a couple words is easy. Do you talk to other guys in the change room at the gym or the office? Most do if they know the person, so what's the difference?
He has a point. Starting up a conversation at the urinal can be a bit odd, but failing to respond is far worse. Did you play any team sports? Lots of chatter in the dressing room so maybe the stigma wears off.

I talk to the other person if they talk to me, if not, even better.
I had a situation a couple of weeks ago where there were 2 people standing in the middle of the bathroom, finishing their conversation they obviously started at the urinals. That was weird, I'm pissing and the 2 of them standing a couple of feet away talking.
I was once of the mindset that conversation strictly has no place in the washroom until a random guy in the neighbouring urinal decided to talk to me all about alpacas. We're talking long drunk pissing here so he was able to cover a lot of alpaca fun facts in that time. I learnt a lot during that experience and now know that pissing could be used to relay fun factoids constructively at the same time.
Did you know that in addition to being luxuriously soft, alpaca fur is also flame resistant? I didn't either until I took a piss. Think about it.

Unless you've run out of toilet paper and are asking for a spare roll, chatting when in a stall should be forbidden.
Even worse is people who talk on the phone while in a public washroom.
I wouldn't initiate a urinal conversation, but wouldn't ignore the person either.
Also...I feel like this belongs here:
I was pissing off of a bridge a few weeks ago, when a guy comes up beside me and starts doing his thing, he then tells me how cold the water is, and I mention to him that it is also deep....

This thread needs to be merged with the D-bag parking thread.
Ha! Thought the same thing. The gall of someone to think they have any right to pee without someone beside them. I am not a "urinal guy" and blah blah...
