Rather than try to prove this with the strength of my prose alone, I am providing a visual aid and scenario role-playing; guys, tell me if I stray from the true (and ladies, you can ask your man about this; he may try to avoid the question, but we can't deny our instincts).
Scenario 1
Guy walks into the bathroom. It is unoccupied.
Urinal choice
Any urinal is acceptable, as long as no one else is there. And if someone else comes in, there is always room for an empty urinal between the two guys.
Scenario 2
Guy walks into the bathroom. Urinal #1 is occupied.
Urinal choice
#4 is the first choice, and #3 is acceptable if #4 has not been flushed. Guys will not choose #2.
Scenario 3
Guy walks into the bathroom. Urinal #2 is occupied.
Urinal choice
#4 is the only acceptable choice.
Scenario 4
Guy walks into the bathroom. Urinals #1 and #3 (or #2 and #4) are occupied.
Urinal choice
There is no acceptable urinal. Wash your hands for a while and wait for an opening, or use a seat. Or just hold it until you get home.
Scenario 5
You're the only one in the bathroom, and you're standing at #1 (as is appropriate). Some guy walks in and, though #4 and #3 are both clean and available, he steps up to #2.
What do you do?
Halt the flow, zip up, wash, and get out; don't look back.

It's in our genes (no pun intended).
I always pick the one with ice.
Seriously, you have time for this, including diagrams, and you don't have any time to put baby latches on the bathroom drawers?
Baby latches can be a serious pain in the ass. Isaac is probably just gearing up for it.
As for the Urinals, the worst is when some bastard not only sidles up to #2 next to you, but starts talking to you about bullshit. That's when you stop the flow, zip up and put his head into the fucking tile.
Presumably if you're cruising, the rules change.

That is when you glance down at him and start laughing. ;)
Halt the flow?
Nah. No need. Too much aggravation and discomfort. Why not turn metaphorical lemons into proverbial lemonade?
Just juice on his shoe! I mean, he deserves it, first of all. And second of all, that will mark him as an abyssmal urinal selector. Soon, all of his shoes will reek like bums and dirty Philadelphia alleyways. Justice is served and you didn't have to squeeze it off like a sissy.

Rings quite true. i predicted all of them.
I have to disagree with Scenario 2. Choosing Urinal #4 may mark you as a homophobe in certain parts of the country (the Godless, liberal, tree-hugging, baby-eating, Hillary-supporting Northeast, for instance). Urinal #3 would then be a preferred choice.
As a gay man, I can tell you that usually closeted married men or sexually addicted gays (a minority)are the ones that have to resort to cruising rest rooms. I'm one of many of us that play the urinal distance game just like straight men. First, I'm not into annonymous restroom sex and would not enjoy getting beat up by a homophobe. Secondly, I'm too busy trying to get my "shy" kidneys to work. So, relax guys!
Ever since I read this, I haven't been able to use the bathrooms in my office, because there's only two urinals! Your blog is a health hazard!
So here's the question then: Three urinals, urinal #1 is occupied, urinal #3 is a kid sized one. Which one is chosen? I pick #2 usually, since I will have at least one side open, and hopefully the guy in #1 is almost done.
