Urinals Should Always Have Partitions

Isn't this obvious?
I can't think of one good reason for a Men's Room to have urinals without partitions, yet I see it all the time. All I can think of is that the people who installed the urinals are trying to save a few dollars, because there simply is no other justification for not having them.
Partitions are simply a small wall between urinals, so they don't take any additional space. Since there's still no door, they don't get in the way or slow you down. The bottom line is there is no reason to leave them out.
Here are a few simple reasons why every Men's Room should have them.
1. Privacy. This one is fairly obvious. When I'm washing my hands, I don't want to get a front row seat to men holding their junk.
2. Spacing. When companies leave out the partitions, chances are, they are trying to save space, so the urinals are too close. Leaving a couple of inches extra for the partition means that the urinals are spaced slightly further apart. That also insures any splashes are at a comfortable distance.
3. The Shake. Not as obvious, but just before most men finish, there's always... "The Shake". Isn't it a bit more comfortable knowing that anything that the guy next to you shakes off will hit the partition instead of your shoes or pants?
4. Class. Simply said, I think bathrooms with partitions have more class than those without. When I see a bathroom without partitions, it lowers my opinion of the business. It makes me think they have no respect for their customers. Most of the time, I'm right.

But think of the fun you could have without the partitions...
Without a partition, at least you can have some fun aiming at the urinal next to you. That always gets a good laugh.

A real riot.
