In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Urinal Etiquette” is a rare card of the Memes World series 72, number 21362 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Urinal Etiquette” meme mean?
The core of the meme lies in the social discomfort caused by ignoring personal space rules. It expresses the absurdity of behavior that disregards implicit codes of public conduct. The dominant emotion is shared embarrassment, often used to highlight social incompetence or someone’s bewilderment in a trivial but critical situation.
Where does the “Urinal Etiquette” meme come from?
The earliest documented trace of this humorous strip dates back to March 2, 2010, on the Brazilian website Capinaremos, titled *Isso é antiético*. The original author remains unknown, and it is not a video screenshot. The panel shows one man at a urinal, followed by a second who ignores free spots to stand right next to him. This transgression of an informal social rule circulated massively between 2010 and 2013. A popularity spike occurred on January 2, 2013, when Shaquille O’Neal shared the image on Facebook with a provocative caption. In 2015, a modified version on Tumblr by pi4nobl4ck, including an absurd vegetarian declaration, transformed the format into a template for provocative statements.
