Today on Twitter our good buddy Cooper Fleishman, a #mediabro, asked an age-old etiquette question that we’ve discussed a lot in BroBible HQ over the years. It’s baffled mankind since dudes started peeing in bathrooms to be considered “civilized” rather outside in the wild wherever the fuck we please like the animals that we really are.

Do you leave the door open or shut when peeing in a stall?

Door open or door shut?
Our own David Covucci, a member of the media Twitter elite, was the first to weigh-in on Team #LeaveItOpen

He was quickly followed by other members of #MediaBro Twitter, an elite fraternity of Twitter power #thinkfluencers that only card-carrying members of the #bloggingilluminati can enter:
@DavidCovucci @_Cooper gonna jump in here because I think it's good to leave it open so people know the wait will be shorter

@_Cooper @BroBible depends. we at a sporting event/concert or a restaurant?
— Austin Hunt (@AustinHunt) January 6, 2016
@AustinHunt @_Cooper @BroBible and how low do the partitions go? How visible are your feet/legs?
— Alex Mizrahi (@alexmiz) January 6, 2016
@_Cooper @BroBible ooh, woah, lots to dissect here. are you using the stall out of necessity or personal preference?

Because BroBible exists almost entirely for this sort of subject, we opened this important conversation up to BroBible community. Responses were varied:

@BroBible @_Cooper No you close the door. Why would you leave it open? Youre only in there for 30 seconds. They can see the top of your head
— Dankey Kang (@PunchyJuan) January 6, 2016
@BroBible it's all 100% dependent of location. concert/sporting event, it's fine. anywhere else, no.
— Austin Hunt (@AustinHunt) January 6, 2016
@BroBible @_Cooper leave it open. Don't get hit with the door. Plus don't waste time.

— Jordy (@jordyshapira) January 6, 2016
@BroBible @_Cooper always close. Otherwise other Bros may walk in without knowing you are there

Speaking of that, @claymedic, David once wrote something on the subject…
I’m avidly team #DoorClosed, though I’ve definitely cheated in our own office out of laziness or for conversation purposes.
