Yep - if not outright explained, it is at least alluded to.
For those not willing to wade through the previous 1000 or so posts, men's room ettiquette is to leave one urinal between you and any other person standing at a urinal.
Possible exceptions:
- men's room with only two urinals
- trough-style urinal(s) regardless of contruction (metal, concrete, etc.)
- men uneducated in such ettiquette (forgiveable only in cases of "bladder emergencies" or drastically different cultures)
- you know the person at the pisser next to you and were conversing prior to entering the head
- person has been heavily drinking or is on mind-altering drugs
Sounds like random chatty Kathy you encountered is unfamiliar with men's room rules. You could go as far as giving him the stank eye for the duration of your urination and though the shake and zip but it would probably be best to ignore him and properly stare at the wall or ceiling. If he becomes more aggressive in tone or attempts to peer over any divider or otherwise into your personal space, pissing on his shoes is not ruled out.
