I agree with all of this except the “always go to the nearest urinal.” I don’t think it matters which you go to as long as you follow the pattern that allows for the maximum number of urinals to be filled while leaving a one-urinal gap between you and the next person.

Let me explain:

🚽 = urinal, 🚹 = person peeing

You have the following setup:

🚽 | 🚽 | 🚽

Correct urinal to occupy:

🚹 | 🚽 | 🚽 OR 🚽 | 🚽 | 🚹

Incorrect:

🚽 | 🚹 | 🚽

Notice how the correct solution allows for a second urinal to be occupied while still maintaining the courtesy urinal between. The incorrect solution doesn’t.
