However, my thought is that putting the shorty in the middle may present a problem for the unfortunate dude that must use it. He may get much more of an eye full in his peripheral vision than he intended. (or maybe I am imagining it much lower than it actually is) :D hmmmm...something to ponder on my commute home. PS - Please tell me there is a shorty sink ; ) Um….First I will say that I had no idea there was such a thing as a “shorty” and it makes me laugh that I have lived nearly 44 years and did not know this!

This is preferable over (b), and (a) simply is not an option. And one other option, d) if the guy at the urinal is finishing up (noted by stillness then movement, which is detectable with periphery vision), meander slowly toward the regular, unoccupied urinal -- by the time you get there and are ready to do your part, he'll be done and stepping away.
