This is true.
It's extremely difficult to demonstrate an appropriate level of sympathy when you're laughing your @rse off.

Somebody has too much time on their hands doing nonsensical "work". They should put their smarts to better use.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

I'm sure our time wasted here are much more sensical.

I spend about 10 mins total a day, if that, making a few comments to posts and reading the articles (20-30 mins for that). There are some here, like Grif that "live" here. That disturbs me greatly. However, I also believe in "to each there own" and "everyone has a reason", so I move on with my opinions about this topic and don't really comment on them - other than this instance.
I suppose in the grander scheme of things, in order to make this site great, you have to spend more than 10 mins a day.

For a great many of us, we are working in an office or other commercial site that has what may best be described as communal toilet facilities. I cannot speak for the ladies (although the following may well still hold true), but I have made the following observation.
When using a urinal (or other standing-room-only facility), it's not at all uncommon for someone else to enter the facility prior to your completion of the task "at hand". Isn't it wonderful how, now matter how urgent their need, they always wait for you to get out of the way before they start?
It's one of those small courtesies that often goes unnoticed*, or, as the title suggests, Count Your Blessings!

Depends on the urinal and the bathroom. You know... EXACTLY the way it does in ENGLAND! ENGLAND!! ENGLAND!!!

Can't say I've ever seen a single bay urinal in Good Old Blighty. If it's a single user facility we always opt for the standard bowl and a lock on the door! I believe it's called civilisation!

From what I've heard, in GB that'd be called a one-room furnished flat.

I've been to your little island a dozen or two times over the decades. Believe me, your "facilities" are no better (or worse) than anywhere else. Certainly no different.
Stayed in a dumpy little hotel in downtown Sheffield once, the public toilets in the lobby were worse than a NASCAR port-o-potty.

Are you sure about that?[^]
Yes, they are real. I've seen them used by four guys at a time.

Four at a time?
I hope I can get that image out of my head.

Bathroom or French Kitchen?
Or, is there a difference?

Not said - only that when the circumstances arise, we all may be thankful that the taking of turns in some things is never violated.
No one is likely to cut in front of your, either!*

It's why they have invented doors that can lock from the inside.
Make it part of the interview; can I please see the place where I shall sit before making any commitments?

Such doors exist in the seated facilities (hence my disclaimer per woman's facilities). However, I note it to be rare that the standing-room units are so equiped.
Is it different by you?

At work, yes; one unit where you can sit, the other where you can stand, both with lockable doors. No openings on top or bottom either, those are brick walls, not cheap stalls 
Some restaurants offer the same, though it is still more common to see a line of urinals along a wall. Would still be hard to use one that is occupied as most of those will have big white screens on the sides and room on the front for one. I would also expect that one is not allowed to be that intoxicated at work for such accidents to happen.

I really enjoy the long trough style urinals where you can relieve yourself in full view of 3 or 4 other guys doing the same.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

On a recent trip to Ireland, I was marveled by something similar but infinitely more elegant. It was basically just a small channel at the floor, with three small spigots that run very slowly to rinse off the wall. You just whiz on the wall, and the water rinses everything away quite nicely. Much to my surprise (and delight!) there was no splatter!
Made the trough look rather primitive by comparison.
