I grew up in West Africa where most health related issues (I'm not sure if this is health related or a choice, though) are caused by deplorable hygienic conditions. Things like this are unheard of back there, or at least extremely rare. In fact, a complete stranger may look at and comment about your clarinet in urinals - and it is considered normal. In rural areas, people pee by the side of the road with everyone watching. So, when I read the bathroom encounter in "The Game", I found it very funny because it was so 'out there' to me.
When I was first made aware of outside public urinals, I was shocked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0P9wR89hEk
I can't speak for everyone in the USA. I think that if someone looked at your clarinet while standing at a urinal, even without commenting on it... would cause a fistfight.
Men that served in the US Military told me they would see men and women in rural areas go in pubic with everyone watching. That surprised me at first, but hey if there isn't a public restroom and you have to go, then you go.
