Q: When I go to the bathroom at a bar these days, there is often advertising over the urinals. Is it OK to read the ad above the next urinal if somebody is using it?
-- Scared to Look, Toronto
A: In short, Scared to Look, the answer is no. It is in no way acceptable to glance, cough, or even breathe heavily in the direction of someone who is urinating beside you. If you feel the need to do any of these things, do it upward or straight ahead. If the urinal on the other side of you is not being used, you may perform the aforementioned actions in that direction.
If your desire to view the advertisement in question is so overwhelming or persistent that you cannot resist, finish your business and zip up. Take your time washing your hands -- which more likely than not, the individual beside you will fail to do in his all-consuming quest to leave the washroom -- and then you will probably have the opportunity to read the ad at your leisure.
