Control.
I'm washing my hands in the men's bathroom, and a guy comes in to use the urinal. Looks like he just got out of, or is just about to go into a meeting, as he's got a sheaf of papers and a clipboard in hand.
I don't normally eye guys while they pee, but I notice in the mirror that he doesn't put the papers down.
Instead, he unzips, whips it out, and browses his Power Point presentation while whizzing. Holding it with both hands and turning the pages just as easy as you please.
I dried my hands and went back to the office. Maybe I watch too many movies, but the last time I'd seen anyone do that, it was Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. Granted, he was a sociopathic gangster, so I now give the Power Point Micturator a wide berth when I see him in the hallway.
