My fellow Americans, please try it. It's much more peaceful in there, and you avoid the chatty kathies at the urinals. They don't try to speak to you(1) when you're in a stall.

    You forgot that in the US all stalls seem to have these awkward 2 cm gaps. There is not much privacy to be had there.

    Chatting at the urinal is verboten in the US. It's an unwritten rule. You'll be the village pariah if you try.

    Tell them you're trying something new for the new year: that your body faces those you talk to. If they start up a conversation while at the urinal, just rotate your body to face them. Because it's important to focus your full attention when conversing. They'll stop after the first time.
