We just wanted to call attention to a great teaching tool posted yesterday on Soc Images. As Gwen Sharp noted, a reader sent in a video about informal etiquette in men’s restrooms. This video, found here, would be great to show in any discussion of informal norms. Though, as Gwen notes, be sure to stop it by 4:40.

I used to show that video years ago. Nowadays, instead I draw a set of urinals on the blackboard, and have three men volunteer to play-act their urinal choices. Then I ask the students to explain the norms. There is much joking among the students, and it usually leads to a decent discussion.
