Two Urinals

At my place of work, in the men’s room, there are two urinals. Based on the erosion of the urinal cakes I have noticed that people tend to choose to pee in the right urinal. The puck is always the first to erode, and I wonder why? When I go pee I don’t really think about which urinal I choose, I just sort of go. Sometimes I stand in the middle and try to go back and forth… sorry colleagues: that was me. Anyways, I think it would be an interesting psychological study to see if there was any difference between those who choose right versus left. When they choose it, and why. Maybe it is a dominant hand type of thing. Maybe it’s a personality thing. Maybe it’s a left brain, right brain issue. Maybe it’s random… probably not. Maybe we would just find that people who choose right pee more? Would that be a finding? Maybe they are healthier and drink more water? Who knows… who cares?
